Onnortunltles for Farmers.

The war with Spain has already
caused an increase in the price of food
products, and these prices are likely to
prevail for some time, even though the
war should be brought to speedy close.
Once more opportunities are offered to
the farmer Of which he should not be
slow to avail himself Beans are used
in large quantities by the army, and
as they also enter largely into the diet
of people of moderate means, especially
in the North, it is fair to assume that
coming crops will bring good prices.
Potatoes, both Irish and sweet, winter
squashes, peas, chickens, eggs and but
ter are all articles that may be raised
on the farm proftably the coming year.
The Kansas farmers in particular will
have an opportunity for money making
If they will raise some Of the crops
referred to, and it is not yet too late
to put in the vegetables named. Pump
kins, squashes, potatoes and other crops
may be safely planted, and they will
assuredly bring good prices Calves born
on the farm should be we'll fed through
the summer and may be sold in the fall
at prices that will pay handsomely for
the little trouble they have caused.
Grow corn and wheat, of course, but de-
vote some space to one or more Of the
other crops mentioned and have some
extra money from very small outlay.

Hogs for Profit.

A full bred hog is the best foundation
for success. Whatever the breed is,
whether POland-China, Chester-White
or any other of the first class breeds,
both male and female should have good
records for several generations back.
The female must not only have a good
record as mother, but be a good mixer
and capable Of having large litters, and
she should always be bred to a male
that comes from q mother having the
same record. Breed the SOW so that her
first litter will come when she is a year
old, or trlfe more, and confine her to
one litter a year. Other sows that are
to be sold may be bred for two litters
year, but the sow and progeny des-
tined to keep up the standard OF the
herd should have but one litter yearly.
Breed so that the pigs will come in the
spring or early summer, which will give
both the mother and the young the ben
eft Of pasture. Wean at six to eight
weeks old and feed on cooked middlings,
a little oil meal and some milk. Keep
the pigs growing, give them plenty of
exercise and the breeding and care will
count when they are put on the market,
for such hogs always bring the highest
price.

Spring Care of Bees.

Bees need some attention in the
spring, and the following excellent sug-
gestiOns are by A. Fl. Duff, Of Larned,
Kas., in the Field, Farm and Fireside.
Many colonies will be reduced down
very weak from coming through the
winter. It Is very desirable to save every
colony that is in healthy condition
and that have good queens We can
very materially help out such colonies
by giving them some attention at the
right time and in the right manner.
A weak colony will always do better in
a small space, and this can be arranged
by fitting a board down in the hive,
one on each side Of just the number Of
combs the bees can occupy, thus con-
tracing the space, with these division
boards.
Weak colonies may thus be tucked up
in small quarters, and surrounded thor
oughly with warm protection so as to
confine as much heat as possible, and in
this shape, with good food at their dis
posal, it Is surprising to see how rap
idly they will build up and need more
territory to accommodate their increase
of business
Strong colonies may be drawn upon
to strengthen weak ones, and this is
very frequently done at almost all sea-
sons of the year. It is done by taking
a frame Of brood Of bees, or brood with
out the bees, from a strong colony and
giving it to a weak one. 1t has been
found, however, that to do this in early
spring proves more of q detriment gen.
orally than to allow the strong ones to
keep what they have In building up in
spring a strong colony will rear more
brood alone than both colonies If the
brood is divided, the one being weak
colony.

Destroying Cut Worms.

The cut worm is the worst enemy OF
newly-set plants, and growers have had
trouble with the insect for years. Va
riOus poisons have been used, but none
has been found so effectual as the fol-
lowing: Take fifty pounds Of wheat
bran and mix with 1t one pound OF
Paris green; dilute two quarts OF cheap
molasses with a gallon Of warm water
and mix the compound Of wheat bran
and Paris green in the diluted mOlasses,
stirring until about the consistency Of
thin dough. Drop tablespoonful OF
the poisoned mixture near where the
young plant is to be, placing 1t in posi-
tion a few days before the young plants
are set. The cut worms will be at
tracted 10 the mixture and eat It. 1t
is sure death to the worms, inexpensive
to make and can be quickly applied.
Care should be taken to keep fowls
away from it as they might be poisoned
by eating the Paris green.
The Advocate and news., 1898-06-15
Killing Weeds.

In the field, constant cultivation and
the destruction Of weeds before the sea-
son Of going to seed will do more than
anything else in clearing the land Of
them. Weeds are frequently very trou-
blesOme in walks and drives where they
cannot be dug or pulled without in
Jury to the gravel walk or roadbed.
In such cases coarse salt applied lib
orally will generally keep them in sub
lection. The following simple remedy
is more efPectual than salt and nearly as
cheap: Dissolve two pounds Of sulphate
Of copper or blue vitriOl in six gallons
of hot water and apply with an ordinary
garden sprinkling pot. Care should be
taken in the use of this remedy, as we'll
as salt, to cOnflne the application to the
walk or drive and not use 1t close to the
edge of the sod, which 1t will destroy
or injure wherever 1t strikes the grass.

Old Hens.

Old hens may be good scratchers, but
they are not profitable as layers. The
first year Of hens life is her best year
for the production Of eggs The sec
ond year she makes good mother and
should be allowed to raise brood OF
chickens. She will then be past two
years old and that fall she should be
fattened and sent to market. II allowed
to pass over another winter she will not
amount to much as layer and will be
too old and tough to sell to any advan-
tage in the market. There may be ex-
ceptiOns to this rule where three-year-
old hens are yet good layers, but as q
general rule the most profitable way
to handle fowls is to dispose Of the
hens before they pass their third winter.
The Advocate and news., 1898-06-15
Money In Mules.

Although but little has been said upon
the subject, it is well known among
breeders that good mules have brought
high prices during the past five or six
years, when the prices Of about every
other farm commodity have been going
down steadily. The United States gov
ernment has purchased most of the
available mules In the market for the
Cuban campaign, and it is safe to say
that few of them will be of much value
at the close Of the war. Mules may be
prOfitably bred and reared in all sections
Of the country, but especially in the
West and Southwest, where they may
have the benefit Of extensive ranges.
To breed mules proftably every effort
should be made to obtain large animals.
BronChos and burros are of little value
In the market, useful as they may be
In some sections as playthings for tour
lists and children. The famous Ken

as soon as 1t reaches the first stage OF
acidity. The less buttermlk left in the
butter the better. The preserving pro-
cess comes in packing the butter so as
to exclude all the air before 1t is put
in cold storage. TO accomplish this the
package must be soaked in brine, then
wrapped in parchment paper and the
butter packed in sOlidly with parchment
paper on the top and dry salt over this.
These are the main points, and the
dairyman must decide for himself
whether his market will warrant the ex-
pense and trouble necessary to keep
summer-made butter until winter.

Oat Hav for Stock.

Oats as a green food are relished by
all stock and particularly by sheep,
lambs and calves. II the crop is cut be-
fore the grain hardens, and is properly
cured, oats are a desirable substitute
for clover or timothy fed dry during
fall and winter. One Of the best dry fOd-
ders for both horses and cows is q
mixture of clover, timothy and oat hay,
the latter cut and cured as hay. II de-
sired, these may be fed separately to
give variety to the ration, the oats being
fed in the fall and near spring. It Is
not advisable to cut oats for sOlllng
when crimson clover can be had, but
when the clover crop is poor oats make
good substitute. There is certainly
no reason why only the grain should be
fed and the hay or straw used for bed

wheels, and should be of light half
inch stuff. The wheels may be made
from boards or the wheels from un-
used baby carriages are excellent for the
purpose, and the curved handles of such
a vehicle are just the thing. The box
may be made square or slanting, as
desired, and it is a good plan to make
it to hold standard quantity, say
bushel If the wheels are light, or two
bushels If the wheels are heavy. In
the berry field or among tomatoes such
a cart will be found particularly useful,
and boys will be willing to handle it

It 10 only by good management that
we can get good colonies built up strong
by the time the honey season is on, for
il they are not strong at this time 1t
will be at the expense OF the honey crop
that they will reach their fullest ca
pacity.
A good, fertile queen is capable of pro-
ducing enough bees In very short pc
riod to make an immense colony Of bees,
but she is altogether governed in this
respect by the number Of bees in the
hive, and she lays only the number OF
eggs that the bees are capable Of taking
care of. She occupies just the amount
of brood combs that the bees cover we'll,
and in this she does not venture too
close to the outside line, and as the
number Of bees increase and more space
on the combs is occupied, she extends
her territory in laying eggs.
A queen bee is capable of laying 5000
eggs in single day under the most IA
vorable circumstances, so that il $4,000
bees are a good colony, she could pro-
duce it in twelve or fifteen days, If it
were not the case that she is governed
by being thus limited.

Preserving Butter for Winter.

The high price that butter brings dur
ing the winter months often tempts
the dairyman to experiment with meth
ods for keeping summer-made butter
over to the season of high prices. Pre-
servatives without number are recon-
mended, but 1t Is extremely difficult to
carry the summer product over until
winter and have 1t retain It's flavor.
Cold storage, when the temperature can
be kept at about $50, Is the only relia-
bic method by which butter may be
kept and even this method, to be sue
cessful requires peculiar care in the
manufacture of the butter. 1t must be
made Of young cream and be churned
