Strong Colonies.

Strong colonies is the key to large
honey crops, and at no time are weak
colonies desirable. A rapid increase
of strength preceding the honey flow
is necessary to obtain the best results
in honey, and at this time we can not
swell their numbers too rapidly. Ii
the bees are allowed to swarm at will
but little surplus honey will be the
result. Colonies may be kept reason
ably strong, and fair crop of honey
obtained, by allowing them to cast one
swarm each, but no mora. Natural
swarming in this respect is better than
dividing. It should not be overlooked
that bees must have plenty OF storage
room if we expect the honey stored.
Two thousand cubic inches of storage
room is little enough at all times for
strong colonies, and in many cases
this can be doubled, and, besides, the
honey should be removed as fast as
completed.

Training the Calf.

The young calves should not be
turned out before the middle of June.
When ready to turn them out, have a
strong head halter for each one, and
lead them out to and from the pasture.
They will soon learn to follow and be-
come very docile with such training.
In selling Jerseys, we always say that
the COW can be led, and it adds several
dollars to her value. Near the city
where family cows are in demand, at
good prices, COW that can be led out
and tethered on the lawn is worth a
great deal more than one that cannot
be thus managed. With bulls, especial
" Jersey bulls, put ring into his
nose, when four months old, and lead
him with stout hickory staff. The
bull can be early taught to lead, and
he should be gradually made to cut
the feed and pump the water for the
stock. A bull SO managed Is safer
and makes a better breed.-The

will get over the work so rapidly, that
it takes little more time than it would

be of such character that the bottom

Controlling the Army Worm.

This pest has already appeared in a
few localities and may become numer-
ous this year. The worms occur al
most every season in grass lands, but
unless present in large numbers the
damage is not noticeable. Where
they have taken possession of field,
very little can be done. If the sur
face be smooth and hard enough, the
drawing of heavy roller over the
field will crush many, but this pro-
cess is not SO successful aS it might
seem.
About the only way to prevent in
jury is to keep them from entering
new fields. In some cases, especially
with corn, an advance army may be
stopped even in the middle of the
field and the crop thus saved. The
surest method is to dig a smooth
walled ditch, or plow several deep
furrows in front of the worms. They
will not be able to scale the perpen-
dicular wall but will drop back into
the burrows and crawl along in the
bottom, where they can be trapped in
holes. For this purpose, ditch
properly prepared with holes makes
an almost impossible barrier.
A strip of coal tar has effectually
stopped worms, but unless renewed
very frequently it will become 80
hardened as to be of little value.
Some farmers report that strip OF
salt has been tried successfully. When
the worms can be confined to small
area by ditch prepared as above, it
may be practicable to spray the vege-
tation within this confined space with
paris green. Sometimes drenching
the plants just ahead of the army will
kill great numbers. A bran mash to
which enough paris green has been
added to give it distinct greenish
color, scattered about where the
worms are at work, will poison many
of them.
In fighting army worms, it is neces-
sary to act quickly Mark V. Singer
land, bulletin 1873, Cornell experiment
station, for days delay often means
the destruction of an acre or more of
promising rye, corn, oats or hay.
Stop The onward progress OF the
worms or confine them within a lin
tied area. Army worms are preyed
upon by large number of insects and
for this reason are prevented from de-
veloping rapidly in most seasons.
They are also attacked by sort OF
insect cholera which is very fatal.
Birds, including chickens and turkeys,
do much toward lessening the num-
bers of the worms. If large focks of
fowls can be turned in where they are
at work, many worms will be de-
stroyed.-American Agriculturist.
