says to-day: s'The aggressive and proc

the po&ers to blockade the Gulf Of Ath-
ems. Greece, by keeping Colonel vassos

the disadvantages OF q blockade there.

she prevents the powerl from learning

Breeding for Results.

If dozen hens were selected from the
best of the flock every year and used as
breeders, 4 great improvement would be
the result. The temptation to use eggs
for Matching purposes from hens not
so selected should be resisted, and the
entire lot of chicks should be produced
from your select breeding pen. The
selection If the male, he being one-half
the pen, is of considerable Importance.
He should in all cases be sturdy,
strong, vigorous thoroughbred, not
over two years of age. Practical points
should always be given the preference
over the fancy, aud yet it pays to keep
as well within the bounds of .'fancy"
as may be possible. BY following such
a system you will be constantly i'm
proving your flock, and a family of
hardy, active layers may thus in short
time be produced.

Grain for Spring Feeding.

At present low prices for grain it is
cheaper, so far as nutritive value is
concerned, than any other kind of for
age. Part of this cheapness consists in
the greater ease with which grain, if
fed in moderation, can be digested.
This is especially true of spring feeding.
AS the time approaches for turning
stock out to grass they should have
some kind Of succulent food given with
the grain ration. After winters freez-
ing and thawing, dry feed, whether hay
or cornstalks. becomes dry and woody
instead Of having some of the juices it
had when put up the previous fall.

WHY HOraea Like Data.

1t is not accidental that oats, the grain
which, next to whole wheat, is best for
furnishing growth to the muscles
should have always been the favorite
food for horses. They are better than
wheat for all animals except man, and
as good also for man, if properly pre-
pared. 1t is the large proportion of
hull which makes oats superior for
horse feed, as the hull distends the nu-
triment and prevents it from compact
ing and heating in the stomach. Dat
grain not only contains large amount
Of heterogeneous nutriment, but it has be-
sides certain stimulative substance,
which is peculiar to the oat.-Rural

How to Unite -swarm..

DR.. C. C.. Miller in Gleanings in Bee
Culture says what is to be done to unite
swarms is to hive a swarm in a hive
in which another swarm has been hived.
If you have any choice as to queens, kill
the poorer, but if you have nc choice
the bees will settle the matter to their
own satisfaction. II the swarms are
small there will be 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.

Clean EGGS for Market

Care in putting up eggs for market
will. just as in all other lines of bust
ness, pay we'll. If all the dirty eggs
are washed with cloth dampened in
warm water, their appearance will be
greatly improved, and they will COM
mand from two to four cents more a
dozen than though sent away in a
soiled condition. It is this care in put
ting up their eggs for sale that forms
one of the principal sources of profit
to the men who are in the business
for all that is in it. Where large num-
bers of eggs are handled it will pay to
sort them. both as to size as well as
color. But, above all things. have
them clean. Western Plowman.

FARM AND GARDEN.
BALLlNo OF QUEENS.

How to Release the Captive Insects
= without Injurine Them.
When queen is balled you'll find a
bunch of bees as big as a hickory nut
or larger that seem to cling together in
q very solid manner. You can't pull
the bees apart, and you may roll the
ball over and over, says Texas Farm
and Ranch. T.
If strange queen is thrown into q
hive she is usually balled, and, as near
~ 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 strange worker is thrown into the
hive she isn't treated the, same as a
queen, and nothing but 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 will ball
their own queen, usually for the sake
of protecting her. In the middle of a
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 queen, 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
hold 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 a strong stream of cool smoke
the bees will soon conclude they want
to find some place with a purer at
nlosphere.
