Of $500 pounds was taken by the ex-
tractor. Then we had short cessa ton,
when the basswood flow began, and a
crop OF 1000 pounds was harvested
and the honey from 222 stands not re-
moved. which (if it had been removed)
would have swelled the entire crop to
over 1000 pounds. Two tons of this
honey would have sold at 100I121a cents
per pound. and nearly one ton on hand.
There is considerable capital invested,
but this crop did not take three months

Years STANDING
On April 2. '95, we removed so stands
of Italian bees from our cellar to their
summer stands, and found that there
had been no loss except in the weaken
ing of some colonies and the loss of
three queens. We Immediately gave the
bees that had lost their queens to the

city of honey between apple bloom
and white clover, we placed feeder
over each colony and fed them some
of this poor honey every evening, which
brought them up good and strong in
bees until the commencement of the
white clover crop. This feeding pre-
vented the cessation of egg laying by
the queen, and consequently our hives
were full of brood. larvae and eggs. and
the new honey from clover was placed
in the extracting combs, which were

honey flow.

The Sheep and the Ticks.

At the Wisconsin experiment station
they have this winter dipped sheep
when the temperature was down to
zero and below. Their reason for dip
ping was that the sheep had been COL
lected from many points and some of
them were found to be infested with
ticks. They did not consider it of
any use to try to feed while the animals
were thus covered with parasites. All
of our farmers that have sheep will do
well to take the hint. and give their
flocks the benefit of an inspection, and,
if the need exist, of a dipping in any
reliable sheep dip. 1t is not desirable

Cost of Handling Ear Corn.

A gentleman from the country says
that the cost of carrying ear corn one
year. or longer. is probably greater than
many figure it, on account of the
shrinkage. For instance. the cost of
1000 bushels of corn at 81 cents is $40;
interest at Z per cent. for a year, S14.70;
expense of crib, $50; cost of the corn at
the end of one year. s244.70. But it is
estimated that the shrinkage will
amount to 20 per cent, or 200 bushels:
therefore. there will remain but 500
bushels to sell. So $244.T0 actually rep
resents the cost of 500 bushels at the
end of one year, or fraction over 80
cents bushel, without figuring any
thing for insurance or risk in holding
showing that 81 cents now is equal to
about 80 cents bushel one year from
now.-Farmers' Review.

prove that chopped wheat is a good
ingredient of mixed ration, but not
a good ration to feed alone. Also.

When to Sow Clover Seed

should advise everybody to sow
clover seed early as they could. even Cd
the snow, but 1 would advise to put it
more than half an inch deep. The best
crop ever had, the man sowed right on
the furrow. as it was left by the pillow,
but l would advise a full inch, rather
than half an inch. and if some of it is too
deep. it will come up next year. One of
the best farmers know, who has raised
800 bushels a year, puts on the seed and
harrows it in, just as he does his oats
or his wheat.-B. S. Hoxie, in Farmers

BRAIN AND MUSCLE.
The Successful Farmer of To-Day Use
Both Hands and Head.


Both Hands and Head.
The man who uses both brains and
muscle will far outstrip in the race Of
life the man who uses only his muscles.
This is true in every calling in which
men engage, but especially is it true in
farming. The farmers who are getting
along the easiest, other things equal,
are those who mix brains with their
work; who plan and systematic their
work: do everything in its season. and
in the most thorough manner possible.
Tha farmer who. for instance, does not
decide what crops he will plant till
planting time comes; or the one who
breaks his ground regardless of the con-
dition of the soil, plants INFESTED OF
doubtful seed in poorly prepared soil,
cannot be said to have mixed enough
brains with his work.
There is no doubt that many farmers
would have better profits if they would
rest, recreate and read more and work
fewer hours. There is such a thing as
doing too much manual labor. The
farmers, as a class, certainly cannot be
accused of being lazy. The majority of
bACA NOIA DOO uaTu, at loaSJ during
some seasons of the year. 1t is more
than likely that many do not distribute
their work well, and are, as a conse-
Quence. too busy at some seasons and
have too much leisure at others. Here.
again. is where the brains come in. The
work should be planned with view to
doing it most economically. This can
be done by judicious distribution of
work which will keep hands and teams
reasonably busy during all seasons of
the year, instead of hiring help and
rushing at some seasons, and then TAX
ing it easy for considerable spell.
There are times when even the most
systematic farmer is thrown behind
with his work as q result of long wet
spells, or circumstances over which he
has no control, and in order to do work

DISEASES OF POULTRY.
1t Will Never Pay to Attempt the Cure of

It Will Never Pay to Attempt the Cure of
a Sick Bird.
If fowls are kept clean and well
sheltered from the wind and wet, and
not overfed and have due proportion
of both soft and green food, and a
never-failing supply of clean water,
they will usually remain free from dis
case, unless infected by strangers.
When disease does occur among fowls
it may usually be ascribed to our vari-
able climate, to dampness and cold,
to injudicious feeding and to an ILL
ventilated roosting house. We would
therefore recommend. says an author
ity, as cure in chief for all the ills
towhich poultry is subject, the practice
of the old saw, IAN ounce of proven
ton is worth a pound of cure" And a
good general rule for the cure of sick
ness is that it be killed without de-
lay, for unless the birds be valuable
ones. it will never pay to attempt q
cure. and rarely so if they are. A
diseased fowl. as will be the result of
general observation, is never kindly
treated by its healthy companions,
and. as most of the diseases to which
they are liable are highly contagious,
if not killed and thus summariIy dis
posed of. it should be at once removed
from the flock and confined by itself
for reatment.-Farmer's Voice.
