POINTS FOR BEGINNERS IN BEE
KEEPING.

Spring is the best season to establish
an apiary, especially for a person unac-
quainted with the practical care of bees,
says Frank Benton, in the Honey Bee.
Colonies ia good condition procured then
are more easily kept III srder by the nov
ice than if purchased in the fall. Mis-
takes in manag en1ent may possibly be
remedied before the season closes, and
by the time i is necessary to prepare for
the winter, the beginner will have gained
a certain amount of practical knowledge
of the nature and requirements of the
bees. If the start be made late in the
season mistakes, if they occur may re-
suit fatally before the proper remedy can
be applied
The beginner had better obtain his
start by purchasing one or two colonies
of pure Italians or Carniolan bees in &C.
curately made frame hives and in first
class condition. These he should get
from some beekeeper who has made
success of the business, near his own
place. If possible, la order TO avoid ex-
pressage and possible damage through
long confinement OF numerous transfers.
The cost per colony may be Sc to S.; yet
bees at this price will generally be found
common bees in box hives may be fire.
Quently obtained for half or even less
than half as much, the cost, when finally
transferred into frame hives, fitted up
with straight combs, and the common
queens replaced by Italians or Carni-
oians, will not be less. The possession
Vi d tOIOuy dlT6duy Al prime MOIhlll5
order gives the novice a standard with
which TO compare all others and often
enables him to avoid costly experiments.
Another plan, also commendable, is to
agree with some neighboring beekeeper
TO deliver as many first swarms on the
day they issue as are wanted. These will
give the right start if placed as soon
as received in hives with foundation
starters and the frames properly spaced
az in from center to center it being
understood that the sWarms are early and
prime ones. with vigorous queens. Only
those issuing from colonies that have
swarmed the year before or from such
as were themselves second swarns of the
previous year should be accepted Swarms
from these will have queens not over one
year old It is better to have queens of
the current years raising, but these can
only be obtained by taking the second
or third swarms from a, given hive,
which come later and are smaller or by
substituting young queens for those
which come with the swarms.
During the not summer season, it will
be found profitable to protect hives hav-
ing supers with boards, 2 or 8 feet in
size, called shade boards These are
often needed in hot weather with strong
colonies working in the supers.

TURKS AND ARMEyIANs.

What the Turks are doing today to
the Armenians, they did to the Greeks
in 1921, when more than 10000 were
put to the sword in the Island of Chios;
to the HISTORIANS in 1343, when the
rocks and plains were covered with
"the scattered bones, bleachad skulls,
long locks of hair. plucked from the
women's heads, and torn portions of
the garments they had worm" to the
Syrians when the streets of Deir-el-
Kamar and, ZabIeh ran with human

days under the very eyes of Europe.
Happy Bulgaria.! She did not shed her

phorus and settled in Armenia, their
swords still reeking with blood. Nor
were they slow in avenging their hui
initiation.
Just year after the Bulgarian afro
cities came the report of the total ex-
termination by the Mohammedans of
the Armenians in Bayazid. The Mos

Is Charity worth whiIes

But after all, what we want to do,
you and 1, is to fill our lives with char
ity, so that to whomever there may
come need we can give help. The help
may express itself in material things;
it may be in the sympathy of kindly
words, or may be spoken only by the
pressure of the hand. There is no
charity in having your name on the
list of generous givers while someone
near TO you stands within doors be-
cause her coat is shabby, or because
her clothing is not sufficiently warm.
There is no charity in the giving of
much money if you have been harsh
and cruel to someone who deserves
your consideration, and have made that
one heart feel that there is nothing in
the world but bitterness There is no
charity in your being willing to write
checks that represent much money
when you are quick to speak the I'M
kind word, or to show to those around
you heart eaten up by pride, and lips
that urter no words save those Of
scorn. All the gold in the world will
count as nothing unless your charity
is like that which was taught to the
world nearly 1000 years ago. 1t meant
that to feed the hungry, take care of
the sick, to forgive the sinner, and to
help, always in the best way, whoever
asks for help, was Chrst's charity
That is the charity, my friend, that
you and 1 want to try to initiate Be-
gin by being charitable with your lips,
by being charitable in your thoughts
and acts. And if, of your little store
there can only be offered few pence,
you may be certain that they will be
reckoned by God himself as greater
than the many millions given by those
who are so unwise as to think that
charity means only the giving the least
of all things-money. Ruth Ashmore,
Ladies' Home Journal.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Do not overcrowd the poultry
house.
Keep pure fresh water within the
reach of fowls. .
Young ducks are most easily raised
in small yards.
Ducks grow very rapidly in proper
ton to the food consumed.
Nothing tends to engender disease in
chickens more than filth in the coops.
A duck fattens easily. This should
be guarded against when they are lay
ing.
A close, ill-venilated house is foul
house.
There is no good reason for keeping
and feeding old male birds after the
Matching season is over.
Set the hens in a cool place and on
the ground, as the weather begins to
get hot.
Too much linseed meal will make the
hens too fat, but a small quantity is
healthful.
One stumbling block with poultry
keeping is in attempting to keep too
large number in too small a space.
Bran should always be scalded be-
fore being fed, as the fowls will relish
it much better.
Keep the young turkeys up until the
dew has dried off the grass, and keep
them dry in wet weather.
AS a rule the turkey hens prefer to
steal their nests out, and If the eggs
are secured it is necessary to watch
them.
When it is desired to push the
growth, rather better results can be
secured by feeding cooked food. n
More meat and better meat in
shorter space Of time can be produced
from poultry than in any other way
A small flock, with plenty of room,
will thrive and the hens will lay bet
ter than larger, crowded flock.
When the wings are cut the feathers
do not renew until the bird molts,, but
where the feathers are pulled will ap-
pear in a short time.
Carbolic acid is a poison, and too
much should not be used. Ten or
twelve drops in a quart of water is
enough. For cholera double this guam
tity.
A filthy drinking fountain will breed
disease sooner than anything else, and
easily becomes foul when a large num-
Der of fowls drink from it.
If the laying hens can be fed as soon
as they fly down from their rooSts and
again just before they go on roosts at
night this is ali that will be needed
After the turkeys are ten days old
they may be turned out every morning
after the dew is off and allowed to
stay out all day, unless there are hard
showers.
Young ducks drink water every day
when eating. They should be supplied
with all they can drink in a convenient
place while they are eating.-St. Louis

THE VALUE OF BONES.

Why is 1t that farm RS will cultivate
poor, barren fields or buy costly fertil-
Tiers, and be so regardless of the vast
quantities of matter that might be made
available as food for their poor starving
crops? The many valuable means by
which the manure heap might be much
enlarged are entirely neglected and the
materials wasted
Among all the neglected matter on the
farm. bones are the most valuable, and
for this reason a writer in a recent num-
Der Of the Ohio Farmer called the atten-
ton of farmers to cheap and handy
method OF converting them into food for
plaLts Bones, as they are, are not
available as food for the farmers crops;
therefore he takes no interest in them
and they are suffered to lie about the
farm unnouced- This writer says: To
buy bone meal is very handy, but this
does not justify the farmer in negtect3ng
so valuable home resource for plant
food. If you reduce the bones that ac-
cumulate on the farm to dust, you know
you have a genuine article. Mr.. Malket
says, after numerous trials between what
is called green bones with all the marrow
and fat in them, and dry bone he found
the dry bone raised the best crops. OF all
the matters which bones are composed,
there is not a single particle which is not
q direct constituent or food for plants
Thus we see, when we reduce them TO
available food, it is all good.
Now it is but little trouble to have
barrels placed conveniently TO receive
the ashes from the mouse, sand you VIII
find that IL takes but little time to collect
all bones, both large and small, that are
lying about the farm, giving it an I'M
slightly appearance. Do not be afraid
Of them A man that is too nice to take
hold of bones will not make much pro
gress in farming. Save all the beef and
hog bones when killed. Put good layer
of ashes at the bottom of a barrel, then
a layer of bones, and SO on until nearly
full; then fill with ashes. Keep the
mass wet but not enough to leach Use
soapsuds if convenient. Do not suffer
the mass to freeze as the progress will
stop while frozen. While dissolving bones
with ashes is a slow process, it is simple
and requires nc great care and while
you are about your farm work you are
making fertilizers that are valuable. Not
only this. but ] think the mixture Of the
bones and ashes is more valuable as a
manure than either by itself.

FINEST BUTTER IN THE WORLD.


Do you want to know how the finest
butter in the world was made? Here is
how the championship of England was
won: The first step of Importance was
to note carefully the instructions of the
judge, who detailed the principal points
WI -ch would be conaidered IN deciding
the contest. First the grain Of the but
ter Immediately the churning was COM
pleted Second, appearance of the but
ter on the worker before the working
had commenced. Third. time occupied
in churning, and fourth, time taken
from the commencement to the finish
of the competition. This last particu-
lar was OF extreme Importance, as any
competitor VINO occupied more than
the time prescribed would be disquali-
fed no matter how well they might
have done on other points. The cream
was given at a temperature of SIS de-
grees F. I Immediately, says the
writer, plunged the vessel containing
my cream into pailful of cold brine,
which reduced the temperature of the
cream to "a degrees, F., at which tenn
perature it was put in the churn.
After ten minutes, 1 added little ice
water, and in five minutes more the
butter had come. The grain of the
butter was, considered, perfect. After
drawing off the buttermilk l washed it
twice with iced water, and then added
a brine made by dissolving about two
pounds of salt in a gallon of water.
Having allowed five or six minutes for
the brine TO have the desired effect, l
carefully removed the butter from the
churn to the worker. The temperature
of the butter was now As degrees, F.,
and every grain distinctly separate
from each other. The process of work.
ing was conducted IN the usual way,
pressing all possible moisture from the
butter, but taking care not to overwork
or injure the grain. This was the COM
pletion of the butter.
This was the work Of Mr.. w. A
Chappell, who is the winner of many
prizes, and is the champion butter
maker of England. This gives, in
brief, the latest method Of making
fine butter, the principal points being
the extreme cold temperature and the
exceeding speed of the operation A
disc churn was used, which is described
as a disc revolving very rapidly inside
of the cream, which throws the cream
to the outer edge, and causes the sepa-
ration of the fat globules very quickly
and rapidly.
Any of the modern dash churns made
in this country should do nearly as
well if turned more rapidly than is our
custom. This idea of churning at such
low temperature is a new wrinkle,
but is approved by all of our highest
dairy authorities. Now while the
weather is warm is a good time to try
this method to see if it will improve
the quality of your butter. The cream
should be ripened from sweet to slight
ly sour in less than twelve hours if
necessary by adding some sour skim
milk from the milk of a fresh COW.
