FOR BACK TAXES.
Kentucky Authorities Levy on n
Block Owned by a MiIIiOnaire's Heir.

LEXINGTON. Ky, Jan. l. = Back Tax
Collector f. T. Gross late yesterday after
noon levied on the Wilgus block, one of the
prominent business blocks of the city, be-
longing to the estate of Miss Clara Bell, the
sixteen year-old daughter and sole heir of
Millionaire d. d. Bell, who died several
years ago. Levy was made on account Of
back taxes alleged to be due the city from
over 100000 worth Of personality, which, it
is claimed, the Security Trust and Safe
Vault Company, as Miss Bells guardian,
concealed and has not given in for taxation
during the last four years. The total amount
of Miss Bells personally, the city claims,
is over 100000 while only about 100000 has
been given for assessment. The trust COM
pany will fight the citys action.

Feeding of Bees.

In order to secure the best posi-
BILE results with bees, it is nearly al
ways best to feed them both in the
Spring and Fall. Feeding in the
Spring is done for two purposes.
One is to keep them alive until
flowers bloom, in case they run out
of stores, and the other is to stimu-
late brood rearing.
Feeding in the Fall is done in
part to stimulate brood rearing, bat
more especially to supply them with
stores for Winter. This feeding
should he done in good season in
the Fall so as to give the bees plenty
of time to seal over their stores be-
fore cold weather sets in. Food
given to them in the Fall should be
of good quality, good graduated
sugar being about the only proper
food to confine bees on in Winter.
The best manner of preparing the
sugar is to make it into "a thick
sirup by adding water enough to
dissolve it thoroughly and then
bring to a boil. When given as an
aid to brood rearing gill day
will be enough; but in feeding for
Winter stores much larger guam
tity may he given. A very good
plan is to feed once day, giving
from pint to a quart a day, &C
cording to the size of the hive. The
best plan is to feed late in the even
ing, otherwise there is a consider
able risk of robbing, and the bees
will perform the work of storing
away in the night as readily as in
the daytime.
Bees should have about thirty
pounds of food on an average to a
hive on which to Winter, and upon
this basis should be determined the
amount of food it will be best to
supply. 1t is far better to supply
plenty of food now and allow them
to store away and seal it over rather
than be obliged to feed during the
Winter.

The hens that have been laying
and setting during the Summer will
now begin to moult, putting off their
old coat of feathers for new one,
and during this time they will not
produce very many eggs, but do not
neglect them on that account. The
drain on their system in the pro-
duction of a new suit of feathers is
the most trying one they are called
upon to endure and unless they are
fed well during this time they will
90 into the Winter in poor condi-
ton, and will not produce eggs in
any large amount during the cold
months.
What the hens need now is nitro
genous feeds mostly. Give them
corn once a day and for the remain
der of their rations feed a mixture
of wheat and oats with buck wheat
and sunflower seeds if they can be
got. Give them plenty of milk, sweet
or sour. to drink if you have it, and
keep a supply of pure water where
they can get at it at any time.

FOR THE FARMER,
Growing Wheat on Dry Land.

In the first place, to be successful
in wheat growing we must prepare
the land that it may be in suita BILE
state to receive the seed My policy
has been to pillow my land early in
the Spring or as soon as [ have
sown my Spring crops, and while
the land is damp and before the
weeds get up any size. prefer to
have the weeds out of the ground
no matter how small, and before
they take any nourishment out of
the ground commence to Summer
fallow. | pillow it 4 inches the first
time, and when the weeds begin to
come up again pillow it the second
time 6 inches, and then see that
nothing grows on the land. Along
in the latter part of July it is pos
sible the weeds will begin to start
again before it is time to SOW grain.
Then | harrow the land, but pre-
fer not to have a harrow put on
after the first and second blowing
at all. The hot sun and air act as
good fertilizer to land if turned
over with the pillow, equal to frost in
Winter. | find that | get from seven
to ten bushels more an acre by
leaving it without narrowing Then
| have plowed it twice and wild
oats, cookie and foul weeds have no
chance to make appearance. AS a
rule about the middle or the last of
July tumbling weeds will grow in
most settlements; in two or three
weeks, if neglected, they will prob
ably be as large as a bushel basket.
But before they start l put the har-
row on and cut them. My land is
very dry and l do not expect to get
any benefit from sub irrigation or
anything but water which may fall
from the heavens. If the land is
very dry prefer having it sowed
about the Goth of August. The seed
is drilled in at the rate of about 80
pounds to the acre.
By sowing early on the high, dry
land the seed gets a good start, will
