stimulative Bee Feeding.

The main spring of profitable bee
keeping in the way of money crops is
strong colonies This is the principal
object the apiarist keeps in view from
the time he begins work in the early
spring until the honey harvest opens.
With strong colonies he is sure of
good returns if the honey season is
good one, and it must be of very short
duration if he does not get fair re-
turns. Colonies of bees that are thus
brought up to high state of perfec-
ton will, in two weeks time during
which there is good honey flow, store
quite large amount OF honey.
Stimulative feeling is the means by
which colonies are made excessively
strong, and almost every colony that
is in fair condition and healthy in
early spring can readily and rapidly be
brought up by thus feeding. In the
first place colonies must have good
reserve store of honey in the hives,
and at no time should they run short
They should be fed regularly. and
must be to get the best results. Feed
ing should begin as soon as warm
weather begins, and every day each
colony Is fed a small amount OF syrup
made from the best quality of sugar,
the amount depending upon what they
consume and convert in brood. If fed
too heavily the combs viii be filled up,
and thus shut out the queens egg

bers of those not fed When feeding
is thus begun it must be kept up OF
the colony is in danger of starving il
feeding is stopped, from the fact that
the large amount of bees and brood
already in the combs will soon con-
sume all the reserve stores in the hive,
and starvation must follow. Frequent
ly in spring time bees are able to
gather some honey from blossoms
sometime before the principal honey
flow begins, so that feeding may not
be kept up during any time they can
gather honey from flowers, but as soon
as the natural flow ceases the feeding
must commence, and thus continued
mp to the honey harvest. In using
the common frame hives, it is neces.
sary to use two stories with two full

SUNNI er Butter Making.

Making butter in summer without
ice, and good butter at that, is by no
means an impossibility, as some writer's
claim, but it has its penalties. 70
make good article the milk and cream
must not be allowed to get old, very
sour or musty. Whea the milk is set
shallow in the old fashion. delay is
necessary to allow the cream to rise.
This delay is dangerous, especially if
protracted until the milk turns to
solid clabber, because the cream has
then become too ripe to be held longer
for churning Ii the skimming is
done just at the time the milk has be-
gun to clabber at the bottom, the cream
can be held for day or two if kept
cold enough and no harm will he done
and with slight loss of butter fat.
Any further delay is sure to result
in greater loss. Just why this loss
occurs do not know, but it seems
to come from want of churnability in
the cream. The loss of butter fat by
the average farmer when setting the
milk shallow is fay more serious than
he is aware, and amounts to many
dollars in the course of the year, and
is caused more from lack of skill in
handling the milk than to any fault of
the system. By using a separator this
loss of butter fat is almost entirely
.voided, and as the experiment stations
have proved that in comparison with

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
The Weight of Hay.

About month ago hay barn was
destroyed by fire, together with con-
tents. There seems difference of
opinion between underwriters and sur
veyors as to number of cubic feet in a
ton of baled and we'll pressed hay.
Can you enlighten me on this point?
G. R. G.. New York. "a prominent
dealer in Albany informs us that hay
in loft loose is figured at 500 cubic
feet to the ton. Sometimes grain is
placed on hay which weights it down
and 4S0 cubic feet to the ton is then
allowed. 1t is impossible to tell
accurately the number of cubic feet in
ton OF baled hay. 1t all depends on
the kind of bales, and how hard they
are pressed. Sometimes 8 tons of
light pressed can be placed in car,
while other times 13 tons of hard
pressed can be put in the same space.
If hay in question was pressed, the
best way to figure is to get the num-
ber of bales and the average weights
when put in the barn. You may then
figure it out approximately Country

making q grand total of 3,771, ,562

quarter of time, the shedding of pa.
triotic blood and the expenditure OF
much treasure have been necessary for
this acquisition. But from the begin.
ming of the first struggle<to the ratifi.
cation of the last treaty the building OF
our stable national territorial pyramid
has steadily continued.
First came the foundation stone in
the cession by Great Britain, under the
treaty of 1888, at the close of the Revo.
luton, when we acquired 827,844
square miles of territory, being all we
own east of the Mississippi River and
north of the then Spanish Florida pos
sessions.
After twenty years-in 1S03-we
more than doubled our broad acres by
the Louisiana purchase from France,
adding LII, ,931 square miles to our
territory at cost of $4,000, 900. and
acquiring some of the richest land on
the Continent, embracing the expanse
between the Mississippi River and the
Pacific Ocean, and between the EOS
sessions of Great Britain on the north
and those of the then Mexico on the
south. The second layer was added
to our territorial pyramid.
Sixteen more years passed, and in
1919, at a cost of Sc, 800, 900, we pur.
chased the Spanish Florida posses
sions, and added the third section OF
59,26S square miles to our growing
pyramid.
Then came a rest for twenty six
years, during which time the older
territory was being rapidly settled,
when another section of 376, 1873
square miles was acquired, at cost
of 100000, by the annexation OF
the independent State of Texas, in.
Guiding the State now known by that
name, together with portions of Kan.
sas, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoms
and Indian Territory.
This last acquisition soon led to
trouble with Mexico, which brought
on war, ending in peace under the
treaty of 1S4S, by which we gained
545, 1888 square miles of territory, EN-,
braced in California, Nevada and Utah,
with parts of Wyoming, Colorado,

Coal Ashes as Absorbents.

Coal ashes have in themselves very
little manurial value. This does not,
however. deny the many and true re-
ports of extraordinary growth OBJ
tanned from seeds that have been ac-
cidentally or Intentionally planted in
coal ash heaps. 1t will always be
found on Investigation that such heaps
received various kinds of slops from
the house thai contained fertiliZing
material or were found by the cats or
dogs around the place the most con-
venient means of disposing of their
excrement. Coal ashes are one of the
best of absorbents. A surface cover
ing of manure heaps with them will
prevent loss of ammonia, which will
be retained in the ashes. Not more
than needed for this purpose should
be used, and it is better to use Ger
man potash salts, which effect the
same purpose, and have fertilizing
properties besides. Still an old coal
ash heap is worth saving. 1t makes
an excellent mulch under trees, espe-
cially if it is desired to kill the grass
under and around them. Covering
the entire surface under plum trees
with coal ashes has sometimes been
known to stop the curculio, probably
when the little Turk could find plenty
of other plum trees near by not thus
protected.

Preparing the Soil for the Garden.

Soil that will produce good crop
of corn will make good garden spot
if properly fertilized and thoroughly
cultivated. If the ground was heavily
manured last fall and plowed it will be
ready for planting this spring as soon
as it can be plowed. 1t may be plowed
at one time and that portion that is
not used for early crops may be gone
over with the harrow often enough till
needed for later crops to keep weeds
down and have the soil in good tilth
when needed. If the garden was not
plowed last fall plow as early as posi-
BILE, then cover heavily with we'll rotted
manure and harrow well. The better
the plowing is done and the more
thorough the narrowing the less work
will be needed with the hand rake to
get the soil in proper condition to re-
ceive the small seeds. A little care
taken in the blowing will tell nightly
in the saving of future work to pro.
duce tho same seed bed. No ''cut and
cover" blowing should be allowed on
the farm much less on the garden plat.
Do your best, most careful work in
preparing the soil for garden seeds.
The after work will be much less and
the future crop much more if the soil
is in the right shape for the seed when
planted. This is true in all farm crops.
1t does not pay to slight the prepara-
ton of corn land for the sake of gaining
day or two in the planting time.
Better by far get five OF ten acres
ready Mt time and plant, then get
another piece ready and so on till all
is done, than to get all half ready and
rush in all the seed. This is digres-
sion from the subject under considera.
tion but thorough preparation of the
soil before planting pays in all crops
garden vegetables and fruit plants in
cluded. Make up your mind that you
will have garden when spring opens,
select your seed now and prepare the
soil thoroughly as early as you can
and plant the seeds carefully in long
rows of easy cultivation with the horse
and you will thank US for calling your
attention to this too long and too
much neglected work of farm home
making. Farm, Field and Fireside.
