REE-kEEPING FOR FARMERs

The most painstaking farmer VINO is
not provided with at least small apiary
is guilty of tolerating three serious leaks
in the economics.
Leak 1.-The entire removal of all bees
and similar insects from neighborhood
would insure an entire failure Of more
than one farm crop. Experience has
shown this and experiment has proved 1t
time after time. Many garden and or
chard products depend almost wholly upon
the visits of pOlleI-carrying insects for
their fertilization, and some of the held
crops are better for these visits. 1t has
more than once been noticed that after a
wet season of fruit bloom, when the bees
are kept in doors by the rain, there is less
fruit and a greater proportion OF lmper-
feet fruit. The same is also noticeable in
the clover field. This fact has now been
SO well established and the absence of
the bees is SO noticeable that in several
places where, under the old idea of bees
injuring fruit. state laws had practically
banished them, a popular clamor has Sc
cured the repeal of the laws and the re-
turn of the bees.
The fact once established that bees
are essential to the proper fertilization
OF certain farm crops it at once becomes
apparent that the farmer who does not
himself keep them must depend upon
chance or the enterprise of his neighbOrs
for full crops of this kind. Hence, by
not providing his own flower fertilizers he
is harboring a serious leak in the quality
and quantity OF both seed and fruit.
Leak Probably no farm of fifty
acres or more is wholly without honey
producing flowers. In some cases the
supply would be too small for the bees
to be self-supporting. In others a great
deal less than so acres might produce
several thousand pounds. This at from
10 TO 10 cents always obtainable for
comb honey, represents an important
cash value that may by the keeping of
sufficient bees be saved without one parti-
Gle Of extra drainage to land or crop, but
that otherwise goes annually to loss. AS
high as so pounds of honey have been
made by one colony in ten days. This,
at Il cents. is over 81 per day per colony
and from a generally wasted source. OF
courese such runs are common nor
long continued. Still it shows what pos
sibilides are stored up in these honey pro-
ducers. No grain crop is always so profit
able.
Leak s. and perhaps the largest of all
Life on the farm is accompanied by
enough privations to warrant every pos
sible effort beig made for the fullest pos
sibe enjoyment of its advantages Young
people in particular feel shut in and
neglected both from a social and intellect
ual standpoint when given occasional
out discovering its bitterness. They grow
discontinued with the country and the
farm. their discomfort appearing, perhaps
in little outburStS of complaint against
the plain fare at table. The remedy is to
interest them absorbngly in something
pertaining to farm life; not In work, but

Home Forum.

The youngest addition to fra .ernal or
CARNATIONS in Salt Lake city is Home
Forum No COS, which held its first social
on Thursday evening and demonstrated
it's ability to vie with older societies by
a crowded hall and a very happy gather
ing Songs by the Chamherlin family
were very good, also a recitation by Miss
Annie CoIIett; the president, AIR. Wight,
and his friend gave the "Larboard
Watch in fine style. while Mrs. Wight
fairly brought down the house with her
ludicrous rendition of a couple of comic
sketches which were enough TO burst
every corset in the house and give the
sweeper a good crop of vest buttons.
Progressive high five followed and held
fun sway until near midnight, when the
company disbanded fun of good wishes
for the excellent committee which had
given them such a delightful evening S
amusement.
The first ladies' prize was gathered in
by Mrs c. J. Higson, and the second by
Mrs. f. o. George. The first gentleman
prize was awarded TO Mr.. Wilson, and
Mr.. S. s. kingsbury carried to the street
car a dancing skeleton as an acknowl-
edgement of his powers on the losing side.
1t is proposed TO repeat these socials to
the Forum members and their friends,
and if thursdays gathering can be taken
as an augury of future meetings a much
larger hall will be required ere long.

HARDY RACES.

The most beautiful bees are not the ones
that store the most honey. Bees, if bred
for color instead of other more desirable
traits, will naturally go backward and de-
teriorate in industry Hybrids are the
best honey gatherers, but generally very
wicked to handle; most of the bees in
California are hybrids. a cross between
the Carniolan and Italian bee makes a
good strain for honey gathering. Car
niolans, after once being introduced or
blended into an apiary, hold their own
wonderfully; their markings may be seen
IN myriads of generations after The
Canadians are the best all-purpoSe bee
that [ know of. In the upper Sierras,
they are of especial value. Where heavy,
deep SHOWS fall they seem to winter
splendidly. In Sierra county bee-keep-
ing friend states that at one time his
hives were covered with twenty-five feet
of snow. and when he dug htem out. all
his Italian and black bees were dead

A CHEAP WAY TO BEGIN.

Let one purchase hens of the com
mon mongrel stock-which can always
be got quite cheaply- and with these
hens mate purely bred male or the
variety desired to breed into. In the
autumn carefully select the strongest
and best-developed pullets, still retain
ing the former male bird. Select only
those pullets which are robust and per-
fectly healthy in every respect, and
strongly marked in form, color and
general characteristics of the breed
represented by their sire. Mate this
second crop of pullets to an unrelated
sire, and the resulting generation will
be equal to thoroughbred stock of that
breed for all practical purposes in lay
ing and marketing qualities.

POULTRY YARD.

Chaff on the poultry house floor is de-
srable, as a means to cause the fowls to
work. Scatter wheat, barley. oats and a
little buckwheat in the chaff. as a day
time feed. Hot mash of boiled potatoes,
turnips and table scraps, for morning;
a little meat twice a week; green vege-
tables: and grain just before dark. This
is a good system of feeding.
a quaurt OF mash in the morning, a
pint of wheat at noon, and a quart of
whole grain at night is about the right
quantity of feed fer fteen fowls
Corn burned 10 a crisp and then pull
mixed with soft feed, IS an excellent
corrective and tonic for fowls.

simply change of the forms of the food
consumed. A bushel of wheat. which
may not sell at a profitable price in mar
ket may be converted into eggs that
are in demand. 1t is, after ALL but the
selling of the wheat in another shape,
the hens being the medium or agents,
for manufacturing eggs from other sub
stances. If the farmer can get higher
price for one article than he can for an
other. he gains the difference; but 1t VIII
not pay him to kekep stock that does not
give good returns for the food consumed.
II can sell eggs at cents a dozen and
still make money, with the aid of good
bone cutter and plenty of clover for them
to pick both summer and winter. L pay
one-half cent per pound for bone and
meat at the butchers, give each bird all
they wish once a day, and get the best re-
suits, although they are confined all the
time and get nothing but what is FED
them. I feed grain at night just before
they go to roost. throwing it in a litter
where they must dig to find it all, and
change the grain frequently. The table
waste with a little niddlings mixed with
it makes their breakfast, with the cut
bone and meat at noon, an ounce for
each hen, this last being about the only
food that costs anything. ] keep green

Nature herself is the very best of COM
panions from an intellectual standpoint,
and she never made more interesting
study of insect life than bee-ology. 1t is
hardly reasonable to expect all to become

ALFALFA AS A HONEY CROP.

Alfalfa is one of the best plants known
for the production of choice honey. as it
is unsurpassed in body and richness of
flavor and the rich white color renders it
peculiarly attractive. Wherever there
are 100 acres of alfalfa here is abundant
pasture for at least twenty-five colonies
of bees: this is especially true where
alfalfa is raised for seed. If the plants
are cut for hay just as they come into
bloom. the flowers will have but little
chance to secrete nectar Another-advant-
age of bee Keeping by alfalfa seed pro
ducers is that the value of the crop is
greatly enhanced by the larger yield of
seed because of more perfect fertilization.
