be recommended from the fact that it
occupies no floor room and being up
from the floor the fowls cannot get in
it with their feet, thus soiling and
wasting the food. A trough five inches
deep and five feet long will accommo-
date 15 fowls. For large flock several
small troughs are better than one large
one. Put in the soft food and spread
it from one end to the other. AS soon
as the fowls are through eating the
trough should be swept out. Once a
week it should be washed with hot
water Many bowel diseases may be
traced to the filth eaten in the soft food.

5ALLINe OF QUEENS.
How TO Release the Captive Insects
Without EniurlnE Them.

without In1Uring Them.
When a queen is balled you'll find q
bunch of bees as big as a hickory nut
or larger that seem to cling together in
a very solid manner. You can't pull
the bees apart, and you may roll the
ball over and over, says Texas Farm
and Ranch.
If strange queen is thrown into a
hive she is usually balled, and, as near
ly as we can make out, the process Is
something like this: The bees seize
the queen at various points till she is
entirely surrounded; then other bees
seize the ones that have hold of the
queen, and in this position they remain
fixed for hours, until the queen is dead.
If a strange worker is thrown into the
hive she isn't treated the same as
queen, and nothing but a queen is ever
balled. The worker may be bitten or
Stung, but never balled.
The balling bees generally make a
Kissing sound, unlike the noise they
make at any other time. Whether that
proceeds from anger, or what, we do
not know. Sometimes bees win ball
their own queen, usually for the sake
of protecting her. In the middle of u
ball Of her own bees it certainly seems
she ought to be safe from foes. You
cannot pull the bees apart so as TO free
the queen, and if you should succeed
in getting some of the bees away or
should manage to get the queen loose
the bees will Immediately seize her
again. Perhaps the quickest way to
get the queen free is to throw the ball
into cold water. The little miscreants
will scramble to get out of the water
as lively as they can, and at once seem
to forget all about the queens leaving
her to her own fate. Water is not al
ways at hand, and you can blow smoke
upon the ball. If you blow hot smoke
upon them, as usually you will if you
bold the nozzle close enough, you will |
at once seal the queens doom, for the
bees will promptly sting her; but if
you hold the smoke at a distance and
keep up q strong stream Of cool smoke

How to Unite swarma,

DIR. c. C. Miller in Gleanings in Bee
Culture says what is to be done to unite
swarms is to hive swarm in hive
Tin which another swarm has been hived.
III you have any choice as to queens, kill
the poorer, but if you have no choice
the bees will settle the matter to their
own satisfaction. If the swarms are
small there will be a decided gain in
uniting; but if the swarms are large it
is not so advisable to unite. Unite two
large swarms and by the next spring
you will have no more bees in the hive
than each would have had If you had
hived them separately.

(which case an extractor would be
needed. This costs about ten dollars,
tbut no sections would be needed, nor
ESQ much foundation, though there
would fhe needed some vessels in which
TO store the honey. The one thing that
{ the beginner needs to avoid in produc-
ing extracted honey is extracting too
eclOsely, taking away too much honey
and leaving the bees short of stores.
No honey should be taken from the
brood nest. A rock upon which the be-
ginner is likely to split is dividing col
onies too early, too frequently or too
late. To allow each colony to swarm
once, if it will, and prevent after-swarm-
ing, would be safe plan for the begin

Provide Food for Reen.

flying, and to prevent them from flying

one is unoccupied. The fear of danger
will prompt fowls to seek the highest
roosting place. II the roosts are level,
no injury from getting on and off will
occur and the fowls will not crowd one
another.
The following Arrangement Is o con-
venient one; Make a tight platform a
foot and half from the floor, to catch
the droppings. Around the edge nail
a strip one by three to keep the drop
pings from scattering and which will
give step for the fowls in going on
and off. A platform arranged in this
way is conducive to cleanliness, as the
fowls will not step in the manure and
track it over the floor. Place the roosts

with Bees.
The first step is to get q good text
book on bee-keeping and study il
thoroughly. Then get another one. and
study that. Perhaps third could be
proftably added to the list. II a. bee
keepers convention should be heldnear
by, attend that; if not, visit neighboT-
ing bee-keepers and talk bees" with
them--perhaps this would be better
than the ordinary bee conventions,
though both are good. After this, If
it is the intention to make Bookkeeping
a special business, much time may be
saved by spending at least one season
with some professional apiarlst. II this
cannot be done, the best way will be to
begin at home with a few colonies, and
:allow the bees and the knowledge to
keep pace one with the other.
The beginner is quite likelylto make
some mistakes, and it is better'to make
them with small number oficolonies.
Perhaps ten colonies would be sufficient
to begin with. Many recommend buy
ing cheap colonies of blacks in box
hives, transferring them to movable
frames and Italianizing them; but
transferring as usually done is very
disagreeable job, requiring some nerve,
! patience and skill, and seems scarcely
, the proper work at which to seta novice.
In Italianizing there is also a risk of
losing queens, particularly il the work
isdone by am inexperienced person. Still,
iif one has plenty of determination and
little money this course may be adVis-
wEhle. 1t is much more pleasant, how
ever, for the beginner to begin with
Italiams in movable comb hives.
Spring is the best time to buy bees,
and it is better to get them as near
home as possible, as express charges
are very heavy and long journeys are
likely to iniuTe the colonies. / would
advise even q beginner to buy black
bees in box hives near home and them
transfer and Italianize, rather than have
bees shipped many hundreds OF miles.
The cost of beginning in Bookkeeping

THAT EDENBORNE ROAD.

see Just how this Edenborne or
Valley Railroad is to help Shreve-
port, as whole. 1t does not like
to be contrary, nor appear as a
disenter, when an enterprise
worthy of general acception pre-
sents its application for admission
into our city. 1t would also like
to assist the several wholesale
dealers and cotton men who will
be largely aided by this Eden
borne railroad project, and would
be strongly tempted to do SO if it
alone was to be the the sufferer.
But when it is contemplated that 90
per cent, and perhaps more, of the
taxpayers of Shreveport will be
subject to this cost without re-
ceiving a farthing in return, the
question confronts us, will it be
right to advocate it?
What is the duty of newspa-
per? To help the few at the ex-
pense of the many? or to the con-
trary, the many at the expense of
the few? If the first query be an
swered in the affirmative, then
THE PROGRESS should advocate
the voting of the tax. But if the
second be correct, then it should
not. And yet to advocate the vot-
ing of the tax in aid Of this Eden
borne road means simply an d
plainly, to urge that it is the plain
duty Of 90 or 90 per cent of the
tay payers of Shreveport, to tax
themselves for the sole benefit of
10 or per cent of our business
men and Mr.. Edenborne.
THE PROGRESS would be glad to
have our wholesale grocers=eet all
the trade between Shreveport and
Coushatta and more. 1t would
like for our cotton men to handle
every bale of cotton in the same
territory. 1t would be perfectly
willing for the plantation owners
down Bossier side of the river to
be able to convince Mr.. Eden
borne or any other man that it is
his duty to build a railroad there
SO as to protect their property by
levees ETC.; but when it comes to
our urging our citizens to pay
S7O,O for that purpose, we would
consider ourselves as being un-
true to the public veal, as false
to those who trust us and look to
us in measure-to work out and
tell what is beneficial and what
is not, should we do so?
THE PROGRESS has no quarrel
with those who can see the pub
lie benefit to accue, for advocat-
the voting of the tax: if we could
see it in the same light, we should

TAKEN OFF THE STREET.
A Woman Musician and Her Two
Little Children.

A woman was about the streets yes
terday begging aims with two little
children, one a girl of or 9 years, and
the other a boy of about years The
girl played tambourine, while the
mother pulled some airs from a
wheezy ACCORDION. The little boy
slept in a small wagon.
Special Officer Healy of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren told the woman she must take
the children off the street, as it was
against the law to use little ones here
in that way. The woman said her
home was in Reno, New, and that she
had a family of five children, whom
she supported by playing on the streets.
If allowed to remain a few hours long
er she would have money enough to
leave the city.
Healy informed her that it could not
be done If she did not have money
enough to go to lodging house he
would pay for a room, but that per-
sons were not allowed to keep little
children on the streets in that way. He
finally took the mother and her chill
dren to Mrs. Clayton's, and paid for
their nights lodging.
Both mother and children were well
dressed, the officer says, and did not
appear to be in the slightest distress.
