Teaching Calves to Lead.

+! 1t is often a great inconvenience
when it is found that grown COW
cannot be led, but must be driven.
The accomplishment is one that
should always be acquired in calfhood
and once learned it will never be for
gotten. If there is any pulling back
while the calf is being taught its first
lesson, some one behind to urge it
forward will be needed, and may be
turnfof the rope around the; animals $
nose, so as to make halter of it, will
be advisable to prevent the calf break
ing away from the leader. "A hole
bored through the nose and a ring in
serted will make the teaching of the
calf to be led still easier The ring in
the nose is often great convenience
as the. animal grows older. .''ts

Well Bred.Ree

- The apiarist is usually very care
ful breeder of bees He rears queens
only from choice stocks, those that
have the qualities he wishes to more
fully develop, and thus produces a
strain of bees much ahead of the or
dinary. All breeding in this line
centres in the queen. If a colony of
bees do not come up to standard re-
quirements the queen suffers the pen
atty, and when she us dispatched an
entire; change Of stock takes place,
providing new queen is introduced
in her place. Great is the difference
in colonies of bees OF bees produced
by different queens. This is true not
only of different races of bees, but
colonies of the same race on variety.
Since the intrciluctionsof the italian
bees into this country, color has be-
come an important factor in breeding,
as by color only can we designate the
italian bee from any other at first
sight. Color of itself is not the only
difference, however, for the character
sisticsiof the italian bees, are quite diff
ferent from the netive bees. 1t is
generally conceded that the italian
! bees have more desirable qualities
than any other race, and the expert
breeder adopts this race as a founda-
tion to breed upon and thus improves
on the line of certain qualities he
wishes to attain: -
Maay5good points maybe obtained
to considerable degree in careful
breeding, namely, energy, prolific
ness, gentleness, non-swarming, en-
durance, color, etc. Some colonies of
bees are more energetic than others,
and theTesult; is they store larger
surplus of honey than others when
the conditions are the same. Some
queens and strains of queens are more
prolific than others, aud fill their
hives with brood and bees rapidly and
early, and are in the field with more
laborers when the honey season opens
and naturally store more honey. The
gentle bees allow themselves to be
handled and manipulated in the hive
without resistance, and much better
Job OF work can be done with them.
The non-swarmers continue to store
honey as long as they have place to
store it, and do not lose any time
