what a Creamery win Do.

The operation of a.well patronized
and well conducted creamery in a com
munity where it was before unknown
works revolution in all directions on
the farm. 1t Iightens the labors Of the
wife and mother; it secures a monthly
certain cash income; It restores impoy-
erished acres; 1t means more and bet
ter pigs, more and better calves. a
more even distribution of farm work
all the year 1t will do more for q
community than new railroad and
will without fail lift chattel mort
gagged and down at the heels grain
raiser on to plane of independence
and comfort. while it and what nat
urany grows out of such a system of
agriculture will vitalize his depleted
soil and in few years double its
productive capacity. This is neither
theorizing nor fanciful speculation, but
a plain statement Of cause and effect.
1t has been done and is being done all
over the west.

ABOUT BEES.



r1ans and Farmers.
If the hives are located where they
get the direct rays of the sun during
the middle of the day in the months Of
June, July and August, it will add to
the comfort of the bees if some kind Of
artificial shade is provided. This can
easily be made by using boards fastened
extend over the front of the hives, and
1T should be held in place by stones,
bricks or some other weights. All hives
should be painted white or some light
color, as dark colors absorb heat. There
is danger of the combs melting down
in dark colored hives exposed to the di-
rect rays of the sun. Whatever form of
shade is provided it should be SO ar.
ranged as to admit of free circulation
of air all about the hives.
A swarm of bees in May
Is worth load of hay.
A swarm of bees in June
Is worth silver spoon.
of bees In July
Is not worth fly.
Thus runs the old adage, and with
the old box hive method of bee keeping
a swarm in July was of but little
value. But with the use of movable
frame hives. foundation and other mod
ern improvements "a swarm in July"
can easily be built up into strong
colony before winter sets in.
No intelligent beekeeper will deny
that bees will at times during hot,
dry spell. when no honey is to be had
in the fields, turn their attention to
overripe or unsound grapes, peaches,
etc. But they are seldom if ever the ag-
gressors or the first to begin the attack.
ssBut, says some one, 81 have seen
bees feeding upon grapes F." Very true,
but if you saw lot Of dogs feeding
upon the carcass of a dead horse would
you come to the conclusion that they
had killed the horse? After the skin Of
a grape has been punctured by bird
or wasp, SO that the bees can get their
tongues in the opening, they soon clean
it out. A careful investigation will
prove that bees do not destroy sound
fruit They simply gather up what
would otherwise be lost.
Does spraying fruit trees injure the
bees2 / believe it is generally conceded
by both beekeepers and horticulturists
that if fruit trees are sprayed at the
proper time, either before or after they
are in bloom, it cannot possibly injure
the bees, says writer whose hints, as
given above, occur in American Gar
dening.

Essentials In Dairying.

We are frequently asked what are the
more important points in dairying.
While there are too many to be emu
merated here, there are three things of
which want to speak briefly which are
to me of great Importance and on which
our success as dairymen largely depend.
These are breeding, feeding and care of
the dairy stock. Upon breeding depends
altogether the quality of milk COW
will give, for be it remembered COW
has born in her the power to give rich
or poor milk, and, if poor, nothing that
man can do will improve her in that
line. But the quantity of milk COW
will give'is determined by the one who
has the care of her from the time she is
born until she comes into dairy work,
and depends almost exclusively on the
feed and care given her. This word
''care" means a great deal in the edu-
cation Of dairy COW. 1t does not mean
food and shelter alone. 1t means educa.
ton; that we develop in the COW love
for us, or, as it is usually expressed, af-
lection. The more affectionate the COW
the more valuable she is in the dairy
In our work we must remember that
we have to do with the great law of
maternity which induces a COW to give
milk for her offspring. She gives it in
part, because of the affection che as a
mother has for her young. The more of
this mother love we have in the COW the
better, but to develop and draw out this
love she must have kind treatment from
her owner from the time she is born un-
til she goes out of the dairy. She must
have a mothers treatment and moth
er's care.-M. E. King in Coleman's
Rural World.
