Bees Spanning.

A beginner in beekeeping asked these
questions in The American Bee journal:
1. Can a person tell within day or
two at most when a swarm will issue?
Some tell me they will issue, leaving
only capped queen cells; others say the
young queen is always Matched first.
2. After swarm issues should all
the queen cells but one be cut out i'm
mediately or in day or two?
8. Do second swarms ever come off
accompanied by more than one queen?
Following are the replies:
/. No; You can't tell for sure within
a day or two. During the swarming
season, when you find colony that has
a good laying queen with number of
sealed queen cells. you may feel pretty
sure it will swarm within a week-in
fact, generally within a day-but you
can't always be sure, for sometimes
they seem to change their minds and
give up swarming As rule the col
ony swarms with the old queen as soon
as the first queen cell is sealed. 1t
would be very unusual thing to wait
till the young queen was Matched.
2. Very few beekeepers practice cut
ting out queen cells after swarm is
sues.
8. Sometimes quite a number of
young queens will come off with the
last after swarm. / hardly know what
there is to explain about it. The bees
seem to have given up the idea of keep
ing the young queens confined in their
cells, all are allowed to emerge, and,
being free, they are more likely to go
with the crowd than to stay in the hive.

SCOTCH STRATEGY.

the farmer approached.

BEAN CULTURE.
Methods Practiced by New York Farmers
on Long Island.

Methods Practiced by New York Farmers
on Long Island.
String beans can be grown either as
4 first, second or intermediate crop.
The Long Island farmers plant from the
first week III May until the last week in
July. The first is an early, the last is
late crop, much of which is used for
picking, and the intermediate plant
ings as chance crops are put in where
there is vacant space. The early crop
comes in about the middle of June.
The crop can be followed by sweet
corn. squashes, cabbage or kale. The
second crop can follow early peas, and
then be taken off in time for winter
spinach or, under favorable circum-
stances. white turnips, and the last
planting can follow early potatoes.
The best soil for beans is IA light, fria-
BILE loan, but whatever the soil it
should be made fairly rich with we'll
rotted stable manure and light coat
ing of nitrate of soda, say 200 pounds
per acre. No more manure is required
for crop of beans than for crop of
corn. The manure should be spread
broadcast and not worked in deeper
than four inches. The best method is to
SOW in drills three feet apart and the
seed dropped six inches apart in the
drill.
Where squashes are to be the second
crop, omit every fourth row and plant
for winter squashes the first or second
week in June. After the beans are fair
ly up the cultivator should be used fire.
quently, but never work the soil deep
if more than an inch it will be an in
jury rather than benefit to the plants.
Tomatoes planted i'll every third row
succeed admirably. Sow the seed the
first week in June, drop the seed two or
three in a hill four feet apart and thin
out to single plant. These will come
into bearing after the early crop begins
to fall off, and the fruit will be in per-
lection about the middle of September
in the latitude of New York city. This
will often prove the most profitable crop
of the season.
For shell beans different methods
must be observed, as the crop requires
much longer time to mature. At the
same time, some of the sorts can be
grown with profit. This is particularly
true with the Dwarf Horticultural,
known as the speckled cranberry, and
in some localities as the Quail Head.
AS a market variety it is usually bet
ter paying crop than the limas, because
of its productiveness.
The dwarf lima beans caanot be used
for a second crop, as they require the
whole season to perfect their growth.
These require a richer sod and more
room than the bush snap beans, and
they should not be planted as early.
The 25th of May is sufficiently early to
plant in the latitude of New York. The
rows should be three feet apart, and the
plants foot apart in the rows. If these
sorts do not have plenty of room, they
will mildew. The success attending the
growing of the dwarf varieties has given
them the preference over the pole vari-
eties AS for the beans, there is no diff
ference between them. Each Of the lead
ing pole varieties is represented in the
bush limas. The foregoing is CLEANED
from an exhaustive article published in
The New England Homestead.

PEACOCK FARMING.

Tho Birds Require Careful Feeding,
But Very Little Management.
Raising peacocks and pheasants is
new business in this country. To sup
ply their wants number of million
aires are importing eggs and birds from
England.
George Vanderbilt is among the num-
Der. He has already lot of peacocks
of the breed curiously called "Ja-
PANIED because their feath-
ers have a metallic, lacquer-like glitter
ing. They are often spoken of as the
Japanese or japan peacock. Theodore
Havemeyer has recently imported lot
Of pheasant eggs of the choicest breed.
He sent them to his model farm, Nah
way, N. j., and then invited company
of bantam hens to hatch out the young
birds.
Peacocks, although not a common
sight in this country, are occasionally
seen; pheasants are even more rare
but, as already said, a demand has arisen
for them, and lucrative business
should be carried on in dealing with
both eggs and the birds.
In Suffolk, England, there is a pleas
ant NEW upon one estate where more
than 100000 eggs are sold annually, says
the Boston Globe. To visit Warwick
castle is to see peacocks in all their
glory, indeed the place is famous for
these birds, of which the handsomest
are white.
Having become possessed of a pair of
peafowls, they require very little man
agement, but must be carefully fed. If
kept in confinement they keep up a pref
ty substantial living themselves; it
must be seen to that they have plenty
of water and grain and occasionally
fresh vegetables. In winter they must
have sheltered home. In summer
they avail themselves of the sheltered
trees and in some secluded nook the
nest is made. The hen should be left
to her own meditations and not inter
fered with while she is on the nest
Matching eggs.
A peafowl allowed to make her own
nest in a hedge always brings out
stronger and better brood than one that
has nest in house. When Matched
the young brood should not be removed
until the next day, feeding not being re-
quired. The first food should be egg
and milk, equal parts beaten together
and heated until it gets into a soft
mass. This is given with little millet
or wheat. When one adds sufficiently
TO ones stock to sell eggs as well as
birds, ones bank account should as
sumo healthy proportions.
Bringing up pheasants by hand is an
extensive industry in England, and
there is no reason why it should not
thrive here. The eggs are collected
from birds kept in new and are placed
under domestic hens. Care on the part
of the keeper must be exercised after
the brood is old enough to wander
about, lest, falling victims to heredity,
they wander off and take to wild life.
Indeed, they can only be kept from
wandering in every direction by being
plentifully supplied with food, which
must be scattered in the places where it
is desired they should stay.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Lice cannot live where carbolic acid
Is used.
Clean dust is an excellent purifier and
disinfectant.
1t is good plan to mix up all soft
feed with milk.
While unlimited range is beneficial,
it is not necessary.
Never feed sulphur to poultry when
the weather is damp.
The laying hens should have their
nests somewhat hidden from view.
Too much grease on chickens will
be fatal to them, as well as TO the lice.
The most persistent sitters are
cochins, brahmas, Wyandottes and
dominiques.
Onions, cabbage and celery chopped
fine with piece of meat make good
poultry ration.
While fowls drink more water In sum-

How to Avoid Biliouaness.

Some people go SO far as to believe
that the absence from our menus of
plenty Of green vegetables and salads
accounts for the biliousness of the
American people, The best known Of
such plants are lettuce, beet tops, dan
delion, kale and spinach, but there are
many other palatable and healthful
plants that, though rarely used, might
add a pleasant variety to our list Of
available vegetables. One of these,
winter cress, +" or BaTbarea prpcox,
which is sold in large quantities in the
Washington markets, is planted in late
summer or early fall and needs very lit
tie cultivation. Another plant that be-
longs to the spinach and beet family,
though it is a common weed in fields
and gardens in nearly every part of the
United States, is lambs quarters, y or
Chenopodium album. 1t is in many
places commonly known either as pig
weed or goosefoot, but it is not the true
pigweed The plant has pale blush
green color, and if used when six or
eight inches high is tender, juicy and
pleasant to the taste. The teasing weed,
the common garden "pusley,' or "pur-
slane, when boiled is also recommend
ed as most palatable green vegetable
and can easily be had. In India, where
it originated, the plant has been used
for hundreds of years. In Europe it is
used both as pot herb and for salads.
