LOCATION FOR BEES.
An Orchard with LOw-SpreadinS
Trees Is Claimed to Be the Ideal
Place for an Apiary.

I have decided that the ideal place
for an apiary is in an orchard, where
there are low-spreading trees. If the
queens wings are clipped, there will
be comparatively little climbing after
swarms- Some prefer shade-boards;
but after having tried both, for the
comfort of the apiarist and that of
the bees, decidedly prefer the shade
of low-spreading trees. Grapevines
do tolerably well, but they do not pro-
tect the apiarist; and at the time of
the year when the shade is most need
ed, they are sending out shoots and
branches that interfere with the hand
ling OF the hive; and grapevines do
require an excessive amount of trim
ming just at the time bees need the
most attention. The colonies at our
out-yard are placed in groups of three
on the north side of the low-spreading
bass woods It is a great comfort as
we'll as a pleasure to work among
these bees compared with what it is
in the home yard of the grapevines.
Vernon Burt has his apiary in an apple
orchard, and the grass is neatly kept
down by sheep that are allowed to
run among the hives at will. The
lawn-mower does not begin to COM
pare with them - Co1man's Rural

HEAD LICE ON CHICKS
They Get Along the Arteries in thu
Throat and In the End Kill
the Little Fowls.

Very often the pou1try-keeper is GER
tain there are no lice on his fowls be-
cause he cannot find any about the
perches. The little insects, red in color.
that are found about the perches and in
cracks about the poultry house are not
true lice. They are mites more like a
little spider, but the true poultry louise
is another sort of an insect altogether,
The gray T yellow poultry louise il
many times larger than the red mite
and has different habits. The mite
leaves the fowl it has been preying on as
soon as daylight comes, while the big
louise takes up his home among the
feathers and stays there day and night.
The mite deposits it's eggs in cracks and
crevices while the louise attaches its
eggs 10 the plumage of the fowls, usual
~ under the wing, about the head and
between the legs.
These lice may be plentiful before
their presence is discovered. They are
oftenest found doing damage to young
chicks and turkeys. If chick or poult
begins to droop it is a pretty good sign
that the big lice have got on it and are
sucking its ife-blood away pretty rap
idly. They get on the head and along
the arteries in the throat and increase
in numbers until they kill the little fowl
in the end. They deprive the bird of
blood and this weakens its vitality IN
til digestive troubles begin and finally
1t dies. its death being very often at
tributed to ''cholera" or some unknown
disease, while lice were the destroyers.
Grease Of any kind is sure death to
these lice, the least particle of it kill
ing them on contact. Greasing chick
ems makes them look bad and often
where it is overdone leads to p1astering
the down to the body in such a manner
that 1t does not protect them from the
cold and they die. Persian insect pow
der IS sure death to the lice. It is chea D
and easily applied with the ordinary
powder gun that can be bought at drug
stores for 25 cents. It does not hurt
the young fowls at all, and where they
are running with hen it may be APP
piled by thoroughly busting her feath-
ers with the insect powder after she
has settled for the night. From her
the powder gets on the chicks and
the lice are killed. The powder should
be applied repeatedly at intervals of
four or five days in order to kill the lice
that hatch from the eggs deposited be-
fore the first treatment is given. The
powder soon loses its effect when ex-
posed to the open air, and care should
be taken to get it fresh when buying
and keep it in some tight vessel until
used. 4 baking powder can or wide
nouthed bottle makes a good recep-
tacle for it.-Farmers' Voice.

A TRAVELLERS TESTIMONY.

Every traveller knows that continuous
lourneying on the railroad is very apt to
derange the system in some way In spite
of springs and soft seats there is coutin-
uous jar and vibration. which acts upon
the nervous system. and produces results
varying somewhat. according to the
strength Of the traveller or his p1edisposi-
ton to some specific ailmeo, The most
common consequence of continuous car
riding IS constipation. And this condition
invariably produces headache. and tends
to blliousness- J. J. Converse. St. Louis.

OF constipation, to which he was subject

and has sufficient windows already, cut
a large, square opening in the south side
of the house and use the pisce of wall

SOFT POULTRY FOOD.
A Simple Device Which Keeps 1t
Clean No Matter How Greedy
the Chicks May Be.

When soft poultry food is thrown
ON the ground or even on board, it
is quickly trampled and befouled SO
that it is unfit to eat. Especially is
this true in a wet, muddy time. To be
sure, it may be placed in a shallow pan
or trough, but even this does not help
the matter any. What is wanted,
rather, is covered pan or trough so
constructed that it will permit the
poultry to obtain the food and at the
same time keep them out of it with
their feet.
For small chicks make q double
trough of tin, such as is shown In Fig.

it on securely, no serious difficulties
will be experienced. Have this part
hinged and fastened with hook, as is
shown.
Each side should be open and fitted
with wire bars placed two inches
apart, each end of these wires being
bent at right angles, driven through
the strips of wood and clinched. To
insert the food, simply raise the up
per portion OF roof part, the semi-ro-
tundity of which prevents the fowls
from roosting on it. Thus the poultry
cannot get at the food with their feet
to pollute it, and, at the same time, it
is safe from any stray animals that
may come along, such as cats and
dogs, for which it is not intended
