BEES ON THE FARM.
They Are Experts In Some Lines Of
Agricultural Work.

When one thinks of the important
part played by bees in agriculture one
cannot help wondering why the experi-
ment stations Of the United States pay
so little attention to beekeeping. We
do not recall a single station where bee
keeping is carried on at all. The Rhode
Island station has department deVot-
ed to poultry and bees, but if memory
serves, that has been abandoned.
Honey bees and the humble bees are
expert in some lines of agricultural
work that men do not very we'll under
stand, and could not succeed in if they
tried ever so hard. They do very i'm
portant work, and do it for nothing,
boarding themselves in the meantime.
have large fruit crops, if we did not ex-
perienee entire failures. At the time
when fruit trees are in bloom there are
but few insects abroad, and it the bees
do not visit the blossoms in search of
honey, the fruit would never mature, as
it would not be pollenized.
If it were not for the work CT bees we
could not grow clover, and this impor-
tant crop would be unknown. So impor-
tant is this that large sums of money
have been spent to import bees into
Australia in order that clover might be
grown there.
Honey bees follow civilization and are
unknown where civilized man has not
taken up his residence. They are CO.
laborers with the pioneer, and help him
to conquer the wilderness and in the
Introduction of improved fruits and
crops.
Every home owner, from the village1
to the bonanza farmer, should keep
bees, for the help they are to agricul-
ture alone. The business of bee-keep-
ing is not well understood even by ex-
perts, and there is great opportunity
for good work from the experiment sta
tons in promoting a wider knowledge
and a greater interest in Bookkeeping
an industry that might be indefinitely
extended with profit to those who keep
them, and to those whose field they roam
over in search of honey.-Farmers

And a hooking bird twittered anon

When the time to cease working came on.

And the cricket chirped out in the wheat;
The cattle stood lowing beside the farm

And milking song rose faint and sweet;
The summer breath told Of the roses that
grew
By the farmhouse whose gable doomed
wan;
And mother would meet us in welcome,
we knew,
When the time to cease working came on
We are toiling on still, though on different
From the ones where we labored when
young,
And not with the carelessness known in
the days
When Hope her sweet melodies sung.
The hours are longer, 1t seemeth, than
But the toiling will some time be done;
Then peace will again smile upon US as

WATERING HORSES.
An Important Duty Which Is Neglect
ed Far Too Often.

An Important Duty Which Ia Neglect
ed Far Too Often.
No detail for caring for horses during
the summer is of more Importance than
supplying them with water. 1t is a mat
ter for regret that it is necessary to call
attention to the neglect of working
horses in this respect, but it seems
necessary to do so. Many men who
feed their stock literally, furnish warm
places for them in winter and keep the
stables as cool as possible during the
summer, seem to forget that the team
that is working under the burning sun
in the field from morning until noon
must suffer from thirst in a way that
is intensely agonizing.
Any man who tries to work half a
day in the harvest field without drink
ing will soon begin to feel some of the
effects of going without water when
making severe exertion on a hot day,
and will appreciate the condition of a
Woodworking horse under the same
conditions.
Sometimes it seems like a waste OF
time to stop team and take it to get a
drink, but time spent in this way is
never wasted, for the team will do
enough more to make up for the stop.
There are places where it seems impos-
sible to give the team drink between
breakfast and noon and between noon
and supper, but there is no shadow OF
excuse for leaving a team hitched to
the fence without water while the driver
goes to his supper and then comes back
to work the team until dark without
water from noon until that time. Such
proceeding is not so common as it
once was, but it is still practiced to
some extent, and is the worst sort OF
cruelty to animals.
Horses perspire freely and are the
only domestic animals that do, and
their need for water is increased as the
amount of perspiration increases, and
during the not weather every effort
should be made to prevent them from
suffering from thirst, which is the worst
sort of torture.-Farmers' Voice.

How Manure IL Wasted.

There are two ways in which stable
manure is most likely to be wasted.
One, the most obvious, is the wasting
by rains, which will wash away all that
is soluble in it. But the other, less
thought of, is even more dangerous
though unseen. That is the wasting by
the passing away as ammonia of all
the heterogeneous parts of manure. The
ammonia is very volatile. Pour some
into a saucer and leave it exposed to
the air, and most of it's strength will
disappear after a few hours. If some
potash is put with it that will absorb
a part Of it, turning it, if the potash be
caustic, into saltpetre. But the far
greater part of the ammonia is given
off by decomposing manure heaps and
escapes into the air, where it becomes
useless as fertilizer.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Never attempt to caponize a full
grown cock.
Keep the drinking water out of the
rays of the SUM-
Cross bred poultry are never of u
non-setting tendency.
Fill up the rat holes around the poul-
try house with broken glass.
IF Leghorns want to sit, it is good
indication that they are too fat.
Soft eggs, laid before the eggs are
formed, are caused by overlooking.
If the young guineas and chickens
are Matched together, the guineas will
be much tanner.
AS a rule, chickens should not be al
lowed to go on the roosts until they
are ten or twelve weeks old.
To cure humble foot, as soon as the

was then caught, and, pulling the ears
forward, the top corners of the blind
were fastened to them by means of
pinchers and rings, such as are put
in the shouts of pigs to prevent root
ing. This blind will not prevent the
hog from seeing his legitimate food,
but it does prevent him seeing chickens
unless they are under his very nose,
and then if he attempts pursuit the
chances are thathe will bring his nose in
violent contact with the fence CT some
other obstruction. A few such lessons
and he concludes that he is DO longer

Close CuIlinx Ii Profitable.

We would advise swine breeders to
Gull more closely than has been the
practice. We think that at least one
third should be cuHed, and if half could
be culled out it would be better. We
have known breeders who have sold
every male in the herd for breeding
purposes, even where they got as low
as four or five dollars head for them.
This is a mistake. It is not only a detri-
ment to the business, but necessarily
lowers the standard. The quality of
pigs sold for breeding purposes should
be up to. a good standard and they
should be sold at a profit above what the
pig would be worth for the pork barrel
All pigs sold for breeding purposes
should have excellent bone, reasonably
well marked, free from swiirls, and have
. good, breezy appearance They
should not only possess good action, but
should be gentle, and Of kind DISPOSE

Ration for Growfnx PfRs.

Pigs, during growth, should be fed
on muscle-making foods. A mixture of
ground corn, oats and shorts, with a
small proportion of old process oil meal,
makes good combination, mixed in
such proportions as suits the feeders
fancy. The mixture should be soaked
from one feed to the next, or wet up
when fed. If soaked from one feed to
another, care must be taken not to let
it ferment or sour. This kind of feed
may be fed until the new crop of corn
is ready. Care must be taken to make
gradual change. Hogs at no time
should be permitted to depend upon a

Good Way to House Hogs.

A cheap and healthful way to house
sows and pigs is to make floorless
houses, six by six or six by eight, set
over a bottom composed of an inch or
two Of coal cinders with five or six
inches of broken corn cobs On top. This
makes good bed, and it is claimed that
hogs do not root into it. Each spring
and fall tip the house over and roll it
out of the way, saturate the cobs with
coal oil and burn them up. This makes
clean, dry place for a new bed, and
destroys all filth and disease germs
The cobs can usually be obtained free
Of charge wherever a power shelter il
