CELLAR BLIND-AIR WITHOUT LIGHT.

CELLAR BLIND-AlR WITHOUT LIGHT,
pains to mark each hives stand To do
this without trouble, we leave the cap
or cover with the roof over it in the ex-
act spot occupied by the hive and re-
move only the brood chamber to the
cellar In this manner the hives occupy
a much smaller space, and it is easier to
give them good ventilation, which is
absolutely necessary to keep the combs
from molding, if the cellar is at all
damp
We pile the hives in the cellar, two
or three or even four tiers high, usually
putting the lower tier on timbers
raised foot OF so from the ground. We
have always noticed that the colonies
nearest the ground were the ones that
suffered, if any did.
After the hives are in, darkness, quiet
ness, a proper temperature and suf-
fcient amount of ventilation are all
that are necessary. For these hives, as
well as for those that are out in cold
days, it is a great point to have every
thing perfectly quiet The man who
will disturb his bees every other day,
just to see whether they are still alive,
will be unsuccessful, if the circum-
stances are at all unfavorable for it is
very easy to kill the bees with too much
kindness of this sort.
To give air without light to our bee
cellar we have devised sort of blind,
a picture of which is here shown, taken
from 'tLangstroth Revised.
The time of removal of the bees in
the spring is of utmost Importance to
consider. If they are taken out too
early, they may not have occasion to
fly much, and their power of endurance
during late cold seems to have been
taken away from them by their pro-
longed stay in the cellar. They are very
much like horse that is kept in
warm barn. He is more apt to be fret
full of the cold and to suffer than one
that stays all winter in a cold stable.
Yet our sympathies are all in the direc-
ton of the softer treatment With the
bees there was on our part, as in the
fall, a tendency to be too much afraid
of long confinement. I believe it was
DR. Miller who said the best time to re-
move the bees from the cellar was in
March or April, at the opening of the
first buds of soft maple bloom. This is
a very good criterion.
But, above all things warm day
must be selected to remove the bees
from their confinement. If you take
them out on cold day, their anxious
desire to take flight will induce them
to venture when the temperature is too
low for their safety, and many of them
will perish. If the day is warm and

ries far less plant food than the average
soils, yet without any commercial fer
tilizers or barn manures crops have
been grown which are far above the
average of the state, The secret of the
uniformly good results, if there is any
secret, seems to lie in tillage The soil
which is gravelly, is most thoroughly
prepared before the potatoes are plant
ed The seed is deeply covered, and
then intensive culture is practiced
Bordeaux mixture and paris green are
freely used and the foliage is preserved
from attacks of the beetles and blight
The most important lesson which has
been derived from the experiments so
far is that complete and thorough prep
aration of the soil before planting the
crop is of the utmost Importance. No
after tillage or spraying can make
amends for lack of proper preparation
The figure from the paper mentioned,
shows how healthy potato plant
should grow and how the tubers form in
the soil when it is perfectly fitted
Wide, deep burrows were made and the
seed pieces were dropped in by hand.

A German experimenter is said to
have demonstrated that about 80 per
cent of mari added to a manure heap
reduced the loss of nitrogen so per cent.
G. W. Martfeldt says in the st. Louis
Republic that sugar beets, like the
Chinese or African sugar cane, cannot
be grown for sugar on lands recently
fertilized, either by farm or commercial
fertilizers. Of course the fertilizers
will ordinarily produce large beets, but
these will have only low percentage
of sugar.

FORCING ASPARAGUS.
Simple and Profitable Ways of Doing
1t In the Field.

1t In the Field.
Asparagus is commonly forced by
transplanting mature roots to some
warm place, as in hotbeds or under
greenhouse benches. Strong plants A or
years old are removed from the field
late in the fall with as little damage to
them as possible and stored in cold
place until wanted for forcing, when
they are set close together in the beds
prepared for them and covered with
several inches of soil In about two
weeks cuttings can be made, and the
plants will continue to yield for about
six weeks. Since forced plants do not
grow by becoming rooted in the soil,
but are produced from material stored
up in the roots the previous summer,
when this reserve material is exhausted
the roots must be thrown away and re-
placed by others. Commenting upon
this method as rather wasteful and
expensive one of forcing asparagus, a
recent bulletin Of the department of
agriculture enumerates various means
which have been devised to force as
paragus in the field, where it is so well
established that it continues growth in
the summer as though it had not been
forced the previous winter.
A simple and rather common method
of accomplishing this is to place barrels
or half barrels over clumps of asparagus
very early in the spring and pile fer
menting manure about them, the
warmth from the manure forcing the
shoots into rapid growth. When the
forcing season is over and danger from
frosts is past, the barrels are removed
and the plants continue growth in the
open air.
Sometimes asparagus is forced by
placing frames covered with sash over
the plants in the field, the rows of as
paragus being set rather close together.
This is considered Il very profitable
method by many market gardeners.
Another method of forcing asparagus
in the field is to dig bitches between the
rows and fill them with fermenting
manure. The surface of the bed may
also be mulched with manure Some
times brick tunnels are laid between
the rows and hot water pipes placed in
side them to furnish the heat.

regard to the care of bees for wintering,
the following is selected:
A number Of apiarists say that they
pay no attention to the spot occupied by
the bees when removed, and that when
they take them out in the spring it does
not matter much where they are placed,
whether on the exact spot they occupied
before winter or in the place of one an
other. Once or twice we had consider
able trouble from changing the location
of hives, and have positively ascertain
ed that many of the bees remember
their former location, after three months
