A WORD ABOUT QUEENS.
Every Colony of Bees Should Receive
New One Before the Prin-
cipal Flow Begins.

The bright apiarist requeens colonies
of bees almost every year. While queens
may live three or four years, and In
some case even five years, yet they out
live their usefulness and are not near so
prolific the second year as they are the
first and seldom prove profitable the
third year of their lives. 1t is true
there ne:some exceptions, but the above
is the general rule. Old queens usually
quit laying eggs entirely at the close of
the honey season during the fore part of
the summer and even if the honey flow
continues well on in summer they will
check up on egg production. While good
young queens lay more eggs during the
honey season than old ones, they con-
tinue to lay eggsall summer to some eX-
tent and in autumn months brood will
he found in their combs, hence such
colonies are in the best condition to sue
cessfully go through the winter, and al
ways come out stronger in the spring.
Old queens are more inclined to swarm,
and will deposit eggs in the queen cell
cups even when the colony is by no
means strong enough. The result is
that the colony will cast small swarms
# allowed to swarm at all, and if pre-
vented by the usual method of removing
the queen cells the old queen seems to
pout about it and persists in starting
more queen cells and also seems to
make speciality of the queen cell bust
ness, neglects laying generally, and the
result is a colony that will store but lit
tie if any surplus honey. Much larger
crops would be the result if each col
ony Of bees were to receive a newly
Matched and fertile queen in the early
spring and before the principal flow be-
gan. This method of management
would in great measure prevent swarm
ing and also add to the number of bees
in the hive, which is the two prime
requisites in the production of large
honey crops. No queen over two years
old should be retained in hive and it
will be better still to requiem every
year, even if the queens have to be pur-
chased at one dollar each, which is the
usual price of them, but it is much
cheaper for everyone who keeps bees
to rear their own queens, which may
readily be done even with few hives of
bees. Some queens are far superior to
others and at the same time may be of
the same race or variety.-A. FL. Duff. in
Prairie Farmer.

to accommodate a hot!bed sash, and
would need three of them. The parti-
tions should divide the house into four
equal parts, a scratching pen and
roosting and nest room ON each side.
Place the water, ground bone and
grit,in the roosting or nest room and
do all of the feeding in the scratching
room, and also keep the dust bath in
this room right under the glass so that
the sun will shine in it and keep il dry
and warm. For cheapness and dura-
bility 1 would cover the roof with Ne
ponset roofing and paint it well; board
up the sides and ends and batten the
cracks.
This style of a house is the most
roomy and convenient of any 1 know
of, and almost any farmer can build
one. To start one, draw your plans,
first, to a scale and see how your lum-
Der will cut to advantage. Hang cab
bage or other vegetables in the roost
room so that the fowls can pick it from
the roost board and the floor, and fall
off once in awhile for exercise. The
rplans are plain and self-explanatory.-

THE DIFFERENT BREEDS.
Purpoxc for Which a Fowl Is Wanted
Should Always he Considered
by Poultry Raisers.

There is a large number of breeds
and many of them possess the same
characteristics. Generally breed that
excels in one particular will fall short
in another, so that in determining
which breed to select the purpose for
which the fowl is wanted should always
be considered.
The Langshan chickens lay best in
the winter. They lay good number
of eggs, are of good size, mature early
and are an excellent table fowl.
The Brahmas come next to these, the
light colored variety being considered
superior to the dark.
Of the four varieties of Cochins, the
partridge is considered the best for
layers, the bluffs the best for table
fowls, the whites and blacks following
next. One advantage with both the
Cochins and Brahmas is that they are
easily confined.
The Plymouth Rocks are good layers,
good table fowls, good foragers, and,
like the Wyandottes, are good general
purpose fowls, eXcelling in no one par
ticular, but hard to beat on the farm.
Leghorns, Minorcas, Spanish, Anda-
lusians and Hamburgs are the best lay
ers, are not settlers, but are very poor
table fowls.
The Houdans, and, in fact, the whole
French class, are fair layers and ex-
.cellent table fowls.
The games are considered as among
the best, if not the best, as table
fowls, and are fair layers.
The Polish and Hamburgs are per-
sistent layers. but are very poor table
fowls.
The Leghorns cannot be exee1led for
laying, but they are small and not good
table fowls. The brown Leghorns lay
the most eggs, the white Leghorns,
Minoreas, Spanish and Houdans lay
the largest eggs.
The Javas are an excellent table fowl
and fatten very readily. When bred
for an especial purpose and not car
ried any further than the first cross,
cross breeding may be made profitable
But if carried farther, using a cross
bred is breeding back, and it is largely
on this account that cross-breeding is
Objectionable.
To produce fine table fowl, cross a
strong, fu1l-breasted pit game cock
with Dorking hens; this produces a
table fowl almost equal to turkey.
A good cross to produce good layers
of medium size is that of the brown
Leghorn cocks with Partridge Cochin
hens, or white Leghorn cock with a
light Brahma hen.
One of the best crosses for market
chickens is Plymouth Rock cock with
Brahma or Cochin hens.
To secure good table fowls, and also
combine good laying qualities, cross a
Houdan cock with Langshan hens. One
result of this cross will be dark legs,
but the flesh will be white.
To produce brood of good layers, the
eggs being of extra large size, cross
black Spanish cocks with Langshan
hens
To produce good market fowl, one
that fattens readily, and is easily con-
fined, cross a Brahma cock with par
fridge Cochin hens.
To produce the best setting hen, one
that will remain in the nest, hatch we'll
and prove a good mother, caring we'll
for her chickens. cross pit game cock
with partridge Cochin hens. This cross
will also produce good table fowls. In
all breeding, care in selecting the best
is important if the best results are
wanted.-St. Louis Republic.
