NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

tends to induce robbing.
Colonies having defective queens are
always the foundation of trouble.
The strength of the colony deter.
mines the amount of brood therein.
board covering should never be
placed over and directly on the frames
The ground in front of eacn hive
should be banked up level with the en-.

The first thing after hiving a swarm
of bees in a frame hive is to adjust the
frames.
The best material in the smoker is
dry, rotten wood that has become light
and spongy.
When robbing once gets started in
the apiary it is very troublesome and
hard 10 check.
A gargle made of sage tea and sweet
ened with honey is one of the best RENE
dies for colds or hoarsness.
When the queen goes up into the sur

POULTRY DOES PAY.
One of the Most Profitable, III Not the
Most Profitable, Branches
of Farming.

Those who say poultry does not pay
do so because in the first place they dc
not expend the proportionate time and
brain in caring for their fowls that they
do with their other stock, says the
Western Rural. In the second place
they do not keep an account, hence the
many little sums are overlooked when
compared with those derived from the
cows, for instance, where mary times
the capital is invested. Take care OF
your hens for one season, credit them
with all the eggs and chickens used al
home as well as those sold, of course
charging the feed and time to them, and
zee if they do not yield greater profit
proportionately than the average prod
ucts at your disposal. Those who have
thoroughly tried it, either as business
in itself or as a side issue, are almost
unanimous in declaring that it is one
OF the most profitable, if not he mos
profitable, branches of farming. One
must not expect to do well at it unless
he is willing to devote time and talents
to it, and even then there are few who.
despite their best efforts, will fail; the
same is true in every business and pro.
fession. To such would say, try some
would recommend keeping few fowls
If situated so that it is at all practicable

COTTON SEED MEALS.
Practical Feeders Differ Greatly n
the Estimate of Their Value
as a stock Food.

Much has been said and written rela-
cattle food. Nearly all investigators
agree in giving it high value and urge
dairymen to use this material not only
because it is cheap source of protein
but because it also has high manurial
value. Practical farmers differ greatly
in their estimates of cotton seed meal.
Some seem to use it very satisfact torily
for awhile and later conclude that tho
feed is not well adapted for their pur-
poses. Occasionally feeder observes
that the health of the animals is af-
fected by the feeding of cotton seed too
freely, and it sometimes happens that
even after animals have been fed for
months with apparent success that they
are injured by its continued use. It
has also happened that cows fed upon
cotton seed meal do well for time and
that later the milk flow is diminished
without apparent cause. There are at
present no other concentrated feeding
stuffs which vary so much in compost
ton as cotton seed meals from different
sources and different mills. Within
three weeks the station has examined
samples varying from % per cent. to
over 53 per cent. of protein.
This greater variation in different
lots of cotton seed meal may explain
the different estimates of different
practical feeders and of the same feed
ers at different times If a cow is fed
cotton seed meal containing 26 per
cent. protein and is then fed an equal
weight of meal containing SO per cent
1t is evident that the amount of pro-
tein which she receives will have been
doubled by the change If she has been
fed up to her full capacity in the first
instance such an increase must result
disastrously. On the ther hand, chang
ing from cotton seed of high protein
content would diminish the milk fow
unless the amount of meal feed is cor
respondingly increased.-Bulletin Of
the Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Feeding Salt with Fodder.

1t is difficult to feed cut cornfodder
so as to have it all eaten, and the diff
Guilty is increased if there are nubbns
of corn in the cut fodder to scatter
grains through it. Cattle and horses
will nose this over to get the grains
of corn, and when the fodder has been
thus nosed over only the small, fine
pieces will be eaten. The better way
is to grind the nubbins, corn and cob
together, and apply this to the fodder
after it has been moistened by steam.
In this way most of the cut fodder will
be eaten, and what is left can be made
more palatable by sprinkling more meal
on it and adding some salt. By feed
ing salt with unpalatable fodder great
deal of nutrition may be secured from
what would otherwise be wasted.-

Sun Baths for FuwIs

1t is not alone the cold weather in
winter, but even more the lack of sun
light luring the short days, that re-
stricts egg production at this season.
Plenty of sunlight is as essential as
warmth to make the hens lively and
healthtul. But the single glass narrow
windows, often only single pane. and
that covered with dust and cobwebs at
sll seasons, and with ice in winter do
little good. What are needed in all
henhouses are large windows with an
extra frame and glass with space of
inclosed air large enough to fill most
of the south side of the building. Keep
the place where the sunlight falls tree
from manure and fill this with sand or
coal ashes. Fowls will dust themse yes
here, and hasking in the sunlight they
will soon begin TO lay.

The Hens Egg and Sex.

Periodically and frequently goes
around the report that eggs wrinkled
at the narrow ends produce cockerels,
says the Country World. To the stu
dent Of embryology this fallacy is at
once apparent. For the first few days
the chicken is sexual, and then to bout
the seventh day it is distinctly hernia
phrodite and contains within itself the
element of both sexes After this stage
it verges in one direction, one set Of
organs developing and the other dimin-
ishing, according as to whether the
germ is going to produce a male or
female. So that if the germ had a liv-
ing conscience, it would not know at
the sixth day which sex it would ulti-
mately be.

Fast-WaIkinE Farm Horses,

There is large difference in the
amount of work done in year by a
fast wa, king horse and one that is slow.
If a team travels 20 miles day and an
other team goes 25 miles in the same
time, IT makes difference of 500 mile.
for 300 working days in a year. When
plowing or cultivating a large field a
team will travel from IS to 20 miles a
day. and the difference of mile or two
is an important item during the busy
season. There is room for faSt-walk-
Ing breed of horses.
