some SO called moth proof hives. but
as moths can 60 wherever a bee can,
q moth proof hive is humbug: but
If the bees are strong in numbers they
can protect themselves against the
moths. When moths do get in a hive
they can be removed by lifting the
frames containing the combs out of
the hive and with a pointed knife lift
them out Of the comb. They can be
easily detected and found by the white

see that the bees have a laying queen.
II the bees are in a box-hive, or gum,
SO that the combs cannot be removed
for examination. the case is hopeless,
as hive that cannot be looked into
is no good when moths get into it. A
question was asked by one 'How
many bees are in a new swarm?" We
saw one answer given that there should
be some three or four pounds Of bees.
We would consider that to be a very
small swarm. About eight pounds is
a fair average swarm, but We have had
them to be much heavier than that;
the heaviest swarm we ever had until
this season was twelve pounds; but we
had one this season that weighed f1f-
teen pounds. We catch our swarms in
a swarming box and can weigh them,
so We do not have to guess at it. Some
may think that this swarm alluded to
might have been two swarms united;
but it was not the case. as we were
in the apiary at the time and saw the
bees come out and saw them settle and
then We took them in our swarming
box and weighed them. These bees
are giving us large lot of honey. We

Roadside Tree Planting.

Roadside Tree Planting.
B. w. Steere, Carthage, Ind, before
the Indiana Horticultural Society
spoke as follows:
In planting trees along our highways
the narrow roads in many places would
appear as one of the chief difficulties
to be overcome. l have been accus-
toned to four-rod roads, as in Michi-
gan all section line roads are, by law,
and most Of the laid out roads are the
same. This width allows the row OF
trees to be planted eight feet from the
fence, giving nice sidewalk for school
children and calling neighbors. an i'm
portant matter on dirt roads. The rem
edy that suggests itself for narrow
roads Is to set the row close to the
fence, in the field or out. with walk
outside Of it. In the discussion Of best
kinds I see that some recommend fruit
trees. Experience has repeatedly shown
that this is mistake. Where tried, I
have seen long rows Of cherry trees,
even Morelloes, dead or half dead.
Pears are subject to blight, etc. APP
pie may be the best, but We who are
old know that their healthy, vigorous
life, at the longest, is quite limited.
In such work it is well to look away
ahead a generation or SO, to realize
that the trees we plant may not be in
their prime. under 20, 30, 50 or more
years. AS to kinds. it is a pretty safe
rule to plant natives that flourish in
your own section. Naples are good

ferred. but beware of too many Of one
kind. Let us remember that We are
planting for the public as well as our
selves, and break the monotony by in

meal has been considered profitable for
application to light, sandy soils, espe-
cially to those low in phosphoric acid.
During the past decade many tests
have been made by various experiment.
ers, to determine the actual available
ity of this form of phosphoric acid, as
compared with that in Apatite, South
Carolina phosphate, and other mineral
phosphates, as we'll as superphosphates.
The summary of these experiments
may be given as follows:
l. The superior value which has
hitherto been accorded to undissolved
bone-meal as fertilizer is due sole
~ to the nitrogen which 1t contains.
2. Undissolved bone-meal as phos-
phate fertilizer is no more valuable
than are the raw mineral phosphates.
3. Hereafter it must be classed with
the latter, rather than with high grade
phosphates containing available phos-
phoric acid.
4. As q phosphate fertilizer It yields
no better results than mineral phos-
pilates, whether tried alone or with
\ aperphosphate. on loans or sandy
Eoils, on soils rich or very poor in phos-
lhoric acid, whether with grains or
with turnips. mustard, or other cru
ciferous plants; either in the first or in
succeeding crops.
S. The various kinds Of bone-meal
show TO essential difference in these
results.
6. The best form in which to apply
bone-meal is as dissolved bone-meal,"
I. e., mixed with 60 degrees sulfuric
acid, at the rate of 20 per cent for raw.
and 10 per cent for glue-free bone
meal.
/, z. For stocking land with supply
Of phosphoric acid, dissolved bone
meal is better adapted than is SUI
ohosphatet.

Farming for . Living.

There is no gainsaying the fact that
II farmers would farm more for a liv-
ing and not simply to make money,
they would live better and make more
money, too, says Southern Cultivator.
The essential thing to do, and it is Of
prime importance, is to produce all the
food crops on the farm that are neces-
sary to sustain the necessary laborers
and stock and a surplus for market.
On farms remote from market, farmers
cannot successfully diversity their ag-
ricultural pursuits. With the establish
ment Of good roads and manufacturing
enterprises throughout the country, the
demand will be increased and the abil-
ity to transport products enlarged. But
1t will pay the farmer to rotate his
crops and diversity them sufficient to
meet his own wants at home. Let him
not only build up his home, but his
land. No handsome residence with all
the evidences of thrift and happiness
looks in place on a farm whose soil is
depleted OF humus and given over 10
briars and brambles.
