Shall diploma or academic degree
be given for proficiency in the science
and art Of agriculture? This question
is being considered in all seriousness
by the ancient English University OF
Cambridge. AS farmers cannot be
made by the use Of Libraries and labor
atories alone, it is understood that a
degree would be conditioned on Ger
tain term Of residence and actual prac-
tice on farm. In America agricultur-
al colleges with model farms have
long been in operation. and although
still under challenge in some educa-
tional circles, they are doubtless con-
tributing to raise the standard and dig
nifty Of the farmers life, and to put
the most important Of all branches OF
productive industry on basis Of intel
ligence and self-respect, with a reason
able promise of increasing profits
through improving processes.

member Of society whose possibilities

REMOVING HONEY.
Recent Invention Has Made the Once
Dreaded Operation Compare
lively Pleasant.

Among the recent inventions in bee
keeping there is nothing Of more i'm
portance than the little bee escape. 1t
is a very simple arrangement, easily
operated and does not cost much. 1t
oyercOmes to great extent the Ia
borious work of brushing bees from
sections or frames in removing either
comb or extracted honey from the
hive.
The escape consists of a small tin
box with two small springs which
nearly come together at the point,
N-shape. The bees pass out between
the springs at the point and cannot
get back. TO operate the escape, get
a half-inch board the size of the top
of the hive; cut mortise in the cen
ter little longer than the escape and
place the escape in the mortise. The
koard should have a small strip about
one-fourth of an inch thick nailed
around both sides to form bee space
between the surplus case and also the
brood chamber.
In using the escape I always lift the
surplus-case and put an empty case in
its place, then put the escape board
between the two cases, putting the
case of honey and bees on top of the
empty case, and also the escape board.
II the escape is put on the hive in the
evening the bees will be nearly all
down in the empty case by morning,
l propose to put the escape on in the
evening, so the bees will be ready to
go to work in the morning. if honey
is coming in in sufficient quantities the
empty case should be filled with sec.
tons, so that the bees will lose no
time; remove the case of honey in the
morning, or as soon as the bees are
nearly all out. If the season is over
and the bees are not very active they
will be slower in going out of the case.
l like to get the honey off as soon as
possible, so there will be no danger of
robbing should there happen to be
any way for bees to get in. 1t is
great satisfaction to be able to re-
move sections from the case without
being bothered with a great lot OF bees
to brush otf.-E. S. Mead, in Ohio

SEN SIBLE PERCHES.
when Once Tried Hanging ROOsts
VIII Take the Place of the Ola
Kind Everywhere.

1t is a continual source of surprise
that the poultry fraternity so slowly
adopts the method Of hanging perches,
shown in accompanying drawing. The
old style of fastening perches to wall
floor or dropping platform is a stand
usually occupy the perches entirely
too much, at best. Perches, walls,
platform, floor, all are accessible to
lice when perches are directly at
tached or supported on trestles or
timbers of any kind. Basing my asser-
tion on actual experience, l assert that
1t requires several times as much eff,
