NOTES FOR THE AP1ARY.

The greatest hindrance to large honey
crops is letting the bees run short of
stores in spring.
When the brood-chamber becomes so
full Of bees that they are somewhat
crowded for room, additional space
should be added.
We cannot look for much surplus
honey if we allow the bees to swarm at
will, because excessive swarming will
be the rule with them.
A colony that is slow in building up
now may have a defective queen or may
usually disclose the trouble.
Cross, singing bees are usually the
result of improper handling. Rough
treatment will not succeed, but will ir
ritate the bees almost beyond redemp-
ton In handling do not kill bee if
you can possibly avoid it.
No one can get aong without 4 bee
smoker when working with bees; even
a specialist does not think of handling
bees without it. The smoker is indis-
pensable, and many fail to perform the
work necessary by being without one.
It is very erroneous idea that some
people have, that bees are always look
irg around for some one to attack and
sting. Bees as rule do not venture an
attack on anyone or anything. They
simply defend, when attacked, in a
vicious manner, and only make de-
Tense of their hives and stores.-Jour-
nal of A Agriculture.

GERMAN BEET SUGAR.
Some Authentic Figures from Which
American Farmers Can Draw
Valuable Lesson.

Some figures taken from sugar.
trade journal and republished by the
St. Louis Republic show what an as
tonishingly large quantity of sugar the
German beet farmers managed to
raise on comparatively small quanti-
ty of land during the crop year of 1897
90. In this crop year there were 1885,
256 acres devoted to the cultivation of
sugar beets. The beets worked
amounted to 13,6o7,s91 tons. In the Of
fetal table the average yield is set
down at 1922 tons per acre. Some de-
auctions are evidently made, for the
average really figures out 12.6S tons per
acre. Based on raw sugar, the sugar
production is given as 1,s44,399 tons.
This would make the yield average
3,763 pounds to the acre. These figures,
if the prevailing conditions of sugar
making in the United States could be
relied on as permanent, would hold out
promise of profit to American ag-
riculturists. According to present in
the United States pay 81 to $3.50 per
ton for sugar beets. Placing the beet
yield at 1922 tons per acre and esti
mating the prices according to the
standard quoted, between $40 and $55
would be realized for the sugar beets
produced upon an acre of land. This is
more than four times as much as the
average value per acre for wheat they
raised in 1897, when they had an I'M
usually good demand and favorable

the market for it's sale.

time to get them above ground that
decided to procure some assistance
which would not only be available for
the job in hand, but for future refer
ence. 1 concluded if I could get a crow
bar with an upturned end, which could
be hammered out to q point at the
blacksmith shop, that it would answer;
but, failing in this, took stout, sea-
soned post about four inches in diam
eter and six or seven feet long and had
it shod with heavy piece of iron with
an out-turned point. With this imple-
ment, after working them loose, it was
a very easy matter, with the use of an
other post for fulcrum, to pry out the
old posts, no matter how tenaciously
they stuck.-Guy E. Mitchell, in Farm
and Fireside.

MOTORS AND HORSES.
Why the AutO-MObile Track Will
Never Interfere with the Draft
Horse Business.

The question of whether motor
cycles are to injure our trade in heavy
horses seems to be disturbing some,
but not the men most interested. They
know that whatever effect the auto
mobile may have on the trade in light
carriage horses, the effect will be moth
ing on the work of the great draft an
imals. An automobile may do some
thing on an asphaltum pavement, but
even a badly paved road becomes to
it an element of uncertainty. 1t must
ever work on the principle of a revolv-
ing wheel rather than on the principle
of powerful lever scientifically ap-
piled. In muddy road or a, snow
bank what becomes of any vehicle that
has no purchase outside of it's smooth
wheels? The foot of the horse plunges
down into the mud and finds bottom,
and gets a purchase for pull. 1t will
be long while before we find SUBJ
stitute for this particular ability in
the horse. 1t is the thing that per-
mits the horse to draw heavy loads up
muddy hills, over stony roads, across
PlONCu HC1uSs uC uOISC kOCS NuC4 9
the motorcycle cannot follow him.
1t was because of this that the steam
plows failed to do the work that had
been planned for them. 1t was found
that the engines could not make their
way over uneven and soft ground even
when the wheels were specially con-
structed. 1t was once believed that the
steam pillow would drive out the horse,
but one would have to go a long ways
to-day to get sight of steam plow. In
some cases the steam plow carried
with it the planks that must be laid
down before it to enable it to move
at all.
The question of good roads is a
great one, but we will not see good
roads everywhere in this generation.
Much less will we see level roads, and
it will require level roads for the mo-
torcycle to do effective work in draw
ing large loads. Such roads will not in
crease proportionately with the popu-
lation, and if all such roads We're used
for motorcycles the demand for horses
would not be diminished in compari-
son with that existing at this time.
The horse will continue to retain his
supremacy over all mechanical sub
stitutes. If he be of good quality he
will bring a good price in the future as
at the present time. There is no rea-
son why the farmer should not do his
best to produce a high grade animal,
knowing that there are always buyers
ready to pay good price for him.

Indigestion Among Fowls.

Indigestion in fowls probably kills
more birds than any other trouble.
with the exception of Ice. The fowls
of the farm, having the run of the fields
and pastures, are not likely to be at
fected in this way, but the fowls that
are penned up nearly all the year round
are sure to fall victims in many cases.
The birds that have the run of the
farm obtain a greater variety of food,
and this is why they do not have indi.
gestion. They do not feed on an en-
tire grain ration. Open their crops and
they will be found to contain grass,
bugs, worms, scraps from the table and
grain. But it makes bulky mass
that can be handled by the gizzard
with little trouble. We must try to
initiate this with birds that are shut
up, and then indigestion will disap-
pear. A breakfast of chopped food
scalded will act as preventer Of indi-
gestion.-Farmers' Review.

During the slack of work have been

Machine Versus Hand Labor.

A discriminating writer persistently
says that well-equipped farmers who
have lands adapted to potato growing
will grow them by the hundred acres
and with profit, even though prices
should be low, while those who cannot
afford to own an outfit of machinery
will quit raising them for market. The
man who plants and harvests by hand
labor cannot compete in raising for the
market with the one who plants and
harvests with machines any more than
the wheat grower who sows by hand
and harvests with cradle can compete
with the grower who runs feeder and
a self-binder.

Making Sweet SOnp Grease.

In many farmhouses all the scraps of
fat, cooked and uncooked, are thrown
together in a large tub or kettle, where,
exposed to air, it quickly becomes ex-
ceedingly offensive to the senses. One
wonders how it can be that such stink
ing grease can be changed into good,
cleansing soap. But it is said the expla-
nation is that the thorough boiling
which the grease receives with the I've
destroys all the offensive germs. But it
only does this after much of the value
of the grease has been destroyed. Get
cake of potash and make strong I've
of it. Throw this over the grease and
fat, entirely covering it. The grease
will be partly turned into soap by this
and will keep sweet without any waste.
