The Agricultural Situation.

Reliable reports indicate that the
promise for the years crop at fair prices
will be realized. The years exports Of
agricultural products were more than
5000, 100000, the wheat alone exported
being worth as much as the whole crop
in 1895. Money Is comparatively plenty
among the farming classes, as is shown
by the promptness with which they are
paying their bills and in many cases
paying off mortgages. The actual gain
to farmers in farm products in 1897 over
that Of 1895 is more than $8O0,OOO,O 900.
The prospect is that the crops of 1898
in corn, hay, wheat, potatoes, tobacco,
rye, barley and some other like products
will exceed those of last year Alto
gether the close of the year will doubt
less witness an excellent state of affairs
in farm products. All indications point
to general revival of business, not on
the boom plan, but a strong, steady
growth which means prosperity to the
country. With the increased value of
farm products and the general improve
ment of the finances of the farming
classes must come the better condition
Of the country generally.

Profits In Poultry.

One trouble with the farmer who at
tempts to raise poultry for profit is that
he expects to make that profit wholly
from eggs, or wholly from the carcass,
either of which plans is not profit
able one unless carried on with large
flocks. 1t is carefully estimated that
the food for a mature hen for year
costs in the neighborhood Of SO cents,
and more IL none Of it is raised, and that
an average egg production per hen is
about ten dozens a year, bringing an av-
erage price Of Is cents per dozen, leav-
ing 81 profit or rather 81 on each hen to
represent the labor and investment in
buildings.
While some hens lay more and others
less, the average is fair one, as is also
the average price named per dozen. In
order to make hens in small numbers
pay the increase of stock whether
raised or sold, should pay for the feed,
leaving the entire proceeds from eggs
as profit, interest on investment and
payment for care This is possible If
each hen raises four chickens year to
a salable age. The poultry farm be it
large or small, run on this plan will
yield a satisfactory profit.

than at other periods. Whenever heavy
feeding is the rule and the food largely
corn and oats, fair proportion of bran
should be mixed In to keep the system
In tone and permit the continuance of
heavy feeding. Without the bran the
system would become ClOgged even II
rOughage was used in considerable guam
tity. AS rule, horse weighing from
1900 to 1900 pounds requires about six
teen pounds of grain per day, divided
into three meals. This is a good work
ing ration and should be reduced grad
ually as the hard work slackens. OF this
ration about one-fourth should be bran,
and it may be fed mixed with the oats
and corn or with either Of them, or even
alone, as preferred. The hay or roots
which are fed for variety should be
given at each meal, usually after the
grain. At night, II possible, give the
horse an hour or two in the pasture,
but do not materially reduce the grain
food in consequence.
Potatoes are an excellent food for
horses when fed in connection with
grain. Horses soon learn to like them
and will eat them greedily. When work
ing very hard they will eat more grain
and stand more hard work If given a
good ration of potatoes along with their
grain.

There is hardly a farm in eastern
Kansas where grove of sugar maple
trees could not be made to pay a hand
some profit on the investment. Many
Of these farms have timber lots covering
several acres and filed mainly with un-
derbrush and a second growth Of ma
tive trees, of very little value. 1t would
be comparatively easy to clear up this
land by cutting down all worthless trees
and brush, thinning out IL necessary,
and replanting to sugar naples. Then
there are the pastures, generally devoid
of shade Of any kind, where small
grove Of sugar maple trees would be a
source of regular and certain profit, to
say nothing of the increased comfort Of
the stock. Maple syrup sells at from
rs cents to 81 a gallon, and the sugar
at from 10 to II cents pound. A grove
of fifty trees not too much shaded will
cover, perhaps, an acre OF ground and
produce on an average a hundred
pounds Of sugar a season. When the
sirup is sold instead of making 1t into
sugar the returns will be much larger.
Sugar naples make a slow growth
when young, and that Is the reason why
they should be planted without delay.
They are very hardy tree and easy to
transplant and make permanent, dur
able and very handsome tree. The tim
ber is valuable, especially the curly and
birds eye varieties. Spring is the best
time to transplant all kinds Of trees.
The Advocate and news., 1898-08-10
Value of Manures.

The value of farm manures depends
very largely on the food the animal eats
as to its richness. AS is generally
known, hen manure is the strongest,
then sheep, pigs, horses and cows in the
order named. Hen manure is rich in
both potash and nitrogen and to prevent
the escape of the latter element it
should be mixed with soil as soon after
being gathered as possible. Sheep pro-
duce from the same quantity of dry
food much larger amount of manure
than hogs, and not being moist to any
considerable degree it Is very rich, but
must be we'll cared for to prevent the
escape of the ammonia in it. Hog ma
nure being moist and not inclined to
heat mixes well with horse manure,
but its richness is not indicated by its
odOr, depending rather on the richness
of the food given the animal. Horse
manure requires careful management to
prevent its heating, but when well han
died is valuable, the liquid portion from
granted horses being especially so.
Cow manure, although rated as the least
valuable of itself, increases in value by
being mixed with horse manure, and
the quantity makes up in some degree
what it may lack in richness.

Bee Notes.

The space inside the hive should be
In proportion to the size Of the colony.
II the colony Is weak the space should
be contracted and due care taken to see
that a queen is always with the colony.
When the drones are driven from the
hive by the working bees 1t Is a pretty
good evidence that food Is scarce. IL
this occurs in the summer you are either
robbing the bees of the supply stored
by the bees for their own use or else
the food supply from the blossoms Is
short. When the drones are driven out
In the fall supply Of sirup or sugar
and water should be supplied as extra
food.
II 1t is necessary for any reason to
move the hives the work should be done
after dark and never during the day
when the bees are away They often fly
great distances from their hives, but
are not quick to identify them IL moved
only twenty or thirty feet from their
old location. When moving is contem-
plated have glass Of sweetened water
near the hive for n day or two before
moving so tn at the bees will notice IL,
and allow 1t TO remain after the hive Is
moved until the bees become accustomed
to the new location
In warm weather shade is quite nee
essary for bees. II the hives are in a
sunny location, as they usually are,
shade may be easily provided by plac-
ing a board two feet wide on top OF the
hive with cleat between the board and
the lid for air space. If 1t is not desired
that the bees swarm, plenty of hive room
should be provided and II swarms are
desired without the trouble OF dividing,
a little CrOwding will usually start the
new colony OF course, honey storing is
abandoned during the swarming period,
and care should be taken to furnish ev-
cry facility for hiving swarms as quickly
as possible so that they will return to
business. Hives set near q few dwarf
pear trees are well located for nine
times out Of ten the swarm will alight on
the pear trees, where they are easily
handled without the use Of ladders. Wa
ter is necessary for bees, In warm wealth
er especially, and they have particular
fOndness for water that Is little salty.
Keep shallow vessels near the hives
filled with salt water in which is placed
q few chips of wood on which the bees
may rest while drinking.

Influence of Light.

Scientific men generally accept the
theory that light is the vibration or un-
dulatory motion produced by lumin-
GUS body in the ether which exists ev-
erywhere and is an elastic medium with
out weight and not noticeable to human
senses. The waves so produced travel
10000 miles a second and vary in size
according to their color, those produc-
ing blue and violet having 10000 to the
inch and those producing yellow and
red 100000 to the inch. 1t takes eight and
One-half minutes for these waves of
light to travel from the sun to the
earth and three years for the light from
the nearest fixed star to reach the earth,
and some stars are so far away that
it is impossible to determine the time
it would require for light to travel from
them to the earth. Plants cannot grow
without light and they always instinc-
lively turn towards 1t. Planted seeds
grow upward to the light and will ex-
ert wonderful power to reach it. Eyes
would be useless without light and fishes
in the dark waters of the Mammoth cave
have no eyes. Light is more essential
for human beings than for plants and
animals and dwellings and school
houses should be well supplied with
light,

Keeping One Breed.

The poultryman who makes a success
is usually the one who chooses a breed
seemingly best suited to his needs and
sticks to it, not changing until thor
oughly convinced after thorough trial
through several seasons, good and bad,
that he made a mistake. 1t is not al
ways an easy matter to make the best
choice at first and great care should be
exercised in this respect. So far as the
choice of breeds is concerned the opin-
ion among poultrymen Of experience
seems to be in favor of the Leghorns
for eggs and the Barred Plymouth Rock
when a combination Of eggs, brOilers
and roasters is wanted. Then the Wy
andottes, Langshans and Minorcas have
many good points and strong adherents,
If after carefully selecting the breed
best suited to your ideas you give the
flock the care and treatment experience
will teach you it requires, it will not be
long before you will probably consider
it "the best breed in the world" If,
however, it seems best to change, re-
member that all you have learned about
the first breed may have to be unlearned
before you can successfully handle the
other. This is the more reason why
you should consider long and carefully
before making a change.
