or, she quieted down, and from that
date there was no trouble about flies in
our stable at milking time. The device
illustrated answers so well that each
milker has q cover and never forgets to
use It.
The closed end practically keeps the
cow from switching her tail in manner
to annoy the millSer, which prevents
many ugly things happening on wet
summer evening when the mixer might
contemplate attending prayer meeting
or hi@ Christian EndeaVor.
The presence Of this cheap and easily
COntrived affair beats tying cows tail
to ones boo: strap or buttonhole all to
pieces, and we recommend l. to all dairy
men, and especially those who Rre en-
deavoring to lead better life.

that q continuation Of the robe would

The KIND Of Men Who Make the Keeping
Of Cows Pay Well.
At q recent convention of leading
dalrymen ex-Gov. Hoard, of Wisconsin,
gave the following, which, we quote ver-
batim:
''At the head of my list Is a man
named Mcpherson. Last year we paid
him IN cash S63 per head as the earn
ingB Of his cows and we returned him
has skim milk, for which we would
have paid him $12 per head more, as
an investment of our own That made
hia cowR earn him $7S per head In cash.
Now, says one man. that was success.
Certainly. Right alongside of him is
another man who had the same OPP
portunity, with the same sky above
him, the same earth beneath him, the
same creamery behind him and the
same market ahead of him, and we
paid that man $40 per COW. The first
man had 35 cows, the last man 90.
Where lay the difference Of success 4?
Was Il In the heavens above or the earth
beneath? 1t ley in the brains and not

man produced milk intelligently and
made money; the second, carelessly
and Bhlftlessly, and lost IS per head,

TO obtain the best results. They rec
Ognize the fact chat the cow Is q ma
chine and they carefully study that
machine until they understand its pc
culiaritles, It's capabilities, It's delicate
senEitlveness, and then intelligently
and carefully they run the machine
for all it is worth. These dairymen,
and others whom I might mention,
are all working along the advanced
lines Of which have spoken. They are
producing a large quantity of milk and
also reducing the cost Of production to
a minimum. They have learned that
they cannot receive one cent of profit
until they can produce milk above the
cost OF production. In order to do this
they take the best Of care of their
herds, feed the very best rations for
this purpose, and the result is a large
increase and large profit.

help toward builulng up colonies for
the white clover crop. 1t is often the
case that persons fail in getting yield
of white clover honey because Of weak
colonies. Without a hive overAowing
with bees a large yield Of honey need
never be expected.
1t might be well to not place colonies
too near the highway or street, unless
there is high fence or hedge which
would cause the bees to rise in their
fight to and fro, and SO fly over the per-
sons passing.-George Splitter, in Ohio
Farmer.

LOCATING AN APlARY.
Colonies Should Not BE Placed Too Meas
q Highway or Street.


q Highway or Street.
The person who wishes to make bee.
keeping sole means Of procuring o
living will do well to study well the
honey resources of a locality before
locating an apiary. Too many colonies
must not be kept in the immediate Vie
cinity, as there is danger Of overstock-
ing, and II a location can be found
where there will be q succession of
bloom from carly spring until late in
the fall, success, with the right man
agement, will be assured. But If the
design Is TO combine beekeeping with
some other pursuit, or branch of farm
ing, 1t matters but little where the
apiary is located, as in almost any loca-
ton few colonies of bees can be kept
with both pleasure and profit, especial
ly so when it is remembered that bees
often go miles to gather honey. So /
would advise that no person who has
q desire to have the most healthful Of
sweets TO use in the family be deferred
from keeping bees on account OF what,
to them, may appear to be an insult
able location.
OF course, any farm, no matter how
small, has plenty OF room for few
colonies of bees. But many readers are
engaged in mechanical and other pur-
suits and are living in towns. 1t may
be well to assure them that they can,
right where they are, keep colony or
a few colonies of bees, and, besides the
pleasure in caring for them, they can
secure for themselves honey to use, and
perhaps some to spare. This, of course,
If bees are properly managed.
Even In our largest cities bees are
kept with profit. C. F. Muth, of Cincin-
natl, o., has for many years kept bees
on the roof of his store building with
profit. Thomas G. Newman, of Chica-
go, H., has for years successfully kept
his bees near one Of the main thorough
fares Of the city where street cars pass
every few minutes. Other instances Of
keeping bees in cities could be cited both
In New York and Philadelphia. In one
of the larger towns in this county =
person has been keeping from so 70
100 colonies of bees on small lot, and
without gaining the Ill will of his
neighbors.
The ideal location would be one with
woods on the west and north for protec-
tion Of the apiary from the cold wintry
winds, especially if said woods con-
tanned maple, Eastwood and chestnut
timber. Such location would furnish
honey and pollen in abundance. A
gradual slope Of the land to the south
southeast or east would also be desir-
able.
Where only few bees are kept they
should be located near the house where
the boys and girls could see when a
swarm issues. If an orchard Is near
the apiary it would be great help, a.
the nearer they are to the field the bet
ter.
