HORNLESS HEREFORDS.
New Breed Of Cattle Produced by q
Kansas StOcknau.

Kansas Stocknlan.
Gen. W. w. Guthrie, of Atchison, Kan.
owner of a large ranch in Chase. county
and a stock farm in Atchison county,
has just made public the result of an ex-
pertinent in stock breeding, covering a
period of eight years. He claims to have
developed an entirely new breed of cat
tie, which has been the dream of stock
raisers for years, and which for the
present he has named Herefords. He
has succeeded in developing an animal
with all the main markings of Here
ford, but which is without horns. He
began his experiments in the belief that
strain of cattle could be developed
from the Hereford that would meet
more satisfactorily the requirements
for beef and milk, and he is confident
that his experiments have been success
full.
He has never abandoned the idea
that horns could be bred out of the
Hereford strain, and now, after years of
experimenting, BE has a herd of 81
heifers and two bulls that are polled
Herefords. The new breed is somewhat
larger than the Hereford and with
sparer hips, but retain the natural
markings. Gen. Guthrie believes that
the new breed is superior to the Here
ford as beef quality, and is convinced
that they will meet his expectations as
to milking qualities.

HINTS FOR. BEGINNERS.

How One Can Make a Sensible Start
.. with Bees.
The first step is to get good text
book on bee-keeping and study it
thoroughly. Then get another one and
study that. Perhaps third could be-
protitably added to the list. If bee:
keepers convention should be held near
by, attend that; if not, visit neighbor-
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
special business, much time may he
saved by spending at least one season
with some professional apiarist. If 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 likely to make
some mistakes, and it is better to make
them with small number of colonies.
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 set a novice.
In Italianizing there is also risk of
losing queens. particularly if the work
isdone by an inexperienced person. Still,
if one has plenty of determination and
little money this course may be advis-
able. 1t is much more pleasant, how
ever, for the beginner to begin with
Italians 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 injure the colonies. would
advise even a beginner to buy black
bees in box hives near home and then
transfer and Italianize, rather than have
bees shipped many hundreds of miles.
The cost of beginning in Bookkeeping
might be estimated something as fol-
lows:
Bee literature. ......................$5 90
Bee-smoker and veil. 50
Ten colonies Of bees at IS. ...............5 50 90
New hives for sWarms. ...............,.1 10 %
Sections and comb foundations. ....... 10 90
It might be we'll for the beginner to
produce extracted honey at first, in
which case an extractor would be
needed. This costs about ten dollars,
but, no sections would be needed, nor
SO much foundation, though there
would be 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
closely, 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 a safe plan for the begin
ller to follow.-Colman's Rural World.
