AN ENDLESS WARFARE
The Farmers Struggle Against Poul-
try Pests and Injurious Germs
Knows No End.

In all lines of live stock husbandry
cleanliness is the one great demand.
The war against dirt and hence against
bacteria and vermin is a war that will
know no end. Let no man suppose
that he can cleanse his house and pens
and trust them to keep clean. The bat
tie must be fought over and over again
and the successful poultryman is the
determined fighter. The first campaign
must be made, against lice and mites.
Whitewashing the pens is supposed to
be great remedy, and without doubt
it is asgood one, but it is possible for
the pens to be kept clear of lice with
out the use of lime. We realize the
fact that embarrassing has its disad-
vantages. Not only does the pen soon
get to looking very dirty inside, on ac-
count Of all dirt showing on the white
background, but very often. the pens
become nuisance in that one cannot
step inside them without having the
marks remain on his clothes. There
are washes that may be used and be
quite effective as lime. The man that
has sprayer can use it easily in his.
chicken house and thoroughly wet all
exposed surfaces All cracks should be
obliterated, and this is not hard thing
to do if the poultry raiser has a prop
erly built house. But whether lime or
something else be used the work must
be carefully followed up. It is even
best to repeat the labor frequently,
even if there. be no signs of the little
monsters. Their very minuteness is a
tremendous advantage given them BY
nature, and an advantage that lays
upon us the necessity of eternal war
fare.-Farmers' Review.

IMPROVING THE BEES.
II Can he Done systematically Where
only the Right Kind of Queens
II Raised. ~ 49,

One would naturally suppose that
there is, but little if any difference in
bees, and that one hive Of bees was just
as good as another. More particularly
would this supposition exist when the
bees are Of the same variety or race.
While it is true that certain races Of
bees, as whole, are much superior
to other races, yet it is also a
fact that some colonies of any race are
far superior to other colonies. AS it
is. now conceded that the Italian bees
are superior to- all other races. as "a
whole, it is also a fact that we not only
find some colonies Of this variety in any
apiary, but we can find whole apiaries
consid erably in advance Of others In
usefulness. The expert apiarist under
stands this fully, and knows As
brought about by careful breeding.
The breeder of fine stock of any kind
selects his best specimens to breed
from, and therefore improves his herd.
Now the apiarist is not behind in the
sleastin this respect, but selects his best
stock in breeding and makes as rapid
strides in this direction as anybody
The principal point in breeding bees
icenters upon the. queen. The apiarist
has under his control the breeding Of
queens and can rear them from any
other queen he has in his apiary, but
he cannot control her matings with the
male bee, as this is beyond his reason.
As it is well known that the queen is
the only female bee in the hive, and
lays all the eggs that produce each and
every bee therein, hence, to change the
entire stock of the hive it is only nee.
essary to introduce new queen to the
colony. Two colonies of bees having
the same traits of character, markings,
ETC., cannot be found, but when all are
Matched from eggs of the same queen
they will have peculiarities of their
own, as colony, not found in another.
For example, some colonies are more
industrious and will store more honey
than others, even with less number
OF bees. Some are cross, and some gen
tie. Some are robbers and some are
good citizens. Some incline to swarm.
others do not under the same condi-
tons Some breed more rapidly and be-
come very strong in numbers, while
others do not attain great strength.
Some are good comb honey producers,
while others are better at filling the
extractor. These are but few of the
numerous different characteristics
found in bees, hence the breeds may
rapidly develop and attain to a marked
degree, in short time, too, any of these
points sought fora. H. Duff, in
Journal of Agriculture.

me Iyportance of variety.

@ When the flock has received no grain
but corn the hens soon begin to refuse
it. This may be particularly noticed if
a small quantity OF oats or wheat be
thrown before them. They will at once
eagerly seize the grains of oats and
wheat, leaving the corn untouched.
This indicates that:ethe hens require
something else than that which they
derive from the corn, such as the phos-
pilates or nitrogen. After feeding oats
or wheat awhile the hens will leave
those grains and eat largely of corn.
The proper method, then, is to keep a
variety, using corn as a portion of the
ration in winter, but emitting it in
the summer. Among the grains we
may mention wheat, corn, oats, barley
and buckwheat, the best results being
obtained when they are changed from
one to the other occasionally Farm
