A WORD ABOUT QUEENS.
n New One Before the Prin-
cipal Flow begins.

The bright apiarist requeens colonies
of bees almost every year. While queens
may live three or four years, and in
some case even five years. Vet they out
live their usefulness and are not near so
prolific the second year ms they are the
first and seldom prove profitable the
third year of their lives. II is true
there are some exceptions, but the above
is the general rule. old queens usually
quit laying eggs entirely at the close Of
the honey season during the fore part of
the summer, and even If the honey flow
continues we'll on in summer they will
check up on egg production. While good
young queens lay more eggs during the
honey season than old ones. they con-
tinde to lay eggs all summer O some en-
tent and in autumn months brood will
he found in their combs. hence such
colonies are 10 the best condition to sue
cessfully 90 through the winter. and al
ways come out stronger IN the spring.
Old queens are more inclined to swarm.
and will deposit eggs in the queen cell
cups even when the colony is 10y no
means strong enough. The result is
that the colony will cast small swarms
If allowed to swarm at all, and if pre-
vented by the usual method of removing
the queen cells the old queen seems to
pout about IL and persists in starting
more queen cells and also seems tc
make speciality of the queen cell bust
ness, neglects laying generally, and the
result is a colony that will store but lit
tie If any surplus honey. Much larger
crops would be the result if each col
ony of bees were TO receive newly
Matched and fertile queen in the early
spring and before the principal flow be-
gan. This method of management
would in great measure prevent swarm
ing and also add to the number of bees
in the hive, which is the two prime
requisites in the production of large
honey crops. No queen over two years
old should be retained in a hive and 1t
will be better still to requiem every
year, even If the queens have to be pur-
chased at one dollar each, which is the
usual price of them, but il is much
cheaper for everyone who keeps bees
to rear their own queens, which may
readily be done even with a few hives of
bees. Some queens are fa' superior to
others and nj the same time may be of
the same race or variety.-A. II. Duff, in
Prairie Farmer.

New Corn Mn.es Cholera.

The fact that new corn and hog chol-
era get ripe about the same time every
year leads many pretty good hogmen to
believe that feeding new corn, or rath-
er green corn, makes what hog chol-
era we have. While we no doubt would
have plenty of cholera If none of the
corn was fed until thoroughly ripe, there
is little doubt that the careless feeding
of green corn has sent many porker
to an untimely end. A great many
farmers allow their hogs to go through
the summer with no feed and then when
new corn comes there is AT once an
anxious effort manifest to make up for
lost time ana to get the hogs ready for
market in the shortest possible time,
which is by no means always the best
for the hogs or the owner.-L. .. Way

THE WEIGHT OF HOGS.
Packers Now Prefer the I5U-PouBd
Animal to the Heavy PorIsers
of Other Nears.

We are told and impressed by the
authorities in the provision trade that
there is no possible chance that heavy
hogs will be in favor for considerable
time, If ever again, says Texas Stock
journal. This view we are informed
is based upon the requirements of con-
sumers and the retail and export trade.
Formerly a packing hog was heavy at
$50 to $50 pounds; now packing hogs
are considered heavy at $50 pounds.
Packers get all the lard they can pos
sibly handle without buying n single
lard hog. The best marketable weight
now is about 100 pounds, and the best
all-around porker does not exceed 225
pounds, although that weight is too
heavy to-day to sell well. Farmers who
make their hogs too heavy to suit the
buyers must expect to get low prices,
as the light weights bring the most
money. The sides are manipulated into
breakfast bacon, canvased and sold
for eight TO ten cents per pound, shout
ders converted into california hams"
and retailed for ten cents per pound;
the hams are small and sell readily for
1914 cents, and some with an extra fin
ishing touch retail for as much as Is
cents per pound. Then, isn't it strange,
taking into consideration the above
facts, that our farmers and feeders will
continue to feed after their pigs are
thoroughly ripe for market, while with
every breath the packer is saying to
them: IF you feed another feed, I'll
dock you" What is to their interest,
the same is TO our interest. Then it
behooves us to reach out for quick,
growthy, fatten-at-any-age pigs, and six
months after the pig is farrowed turn
him over to the packers, who in return
will pay you more than if you had fed
il seven months, so far as profit is con-

to accommodate a hot-bed sash, and
would need three of them. The parti-
tons should divide the house into four
equal parts, scratching pen and a
roosting and nest room on each side.
Place the water, ground bone and
grit'in the roosting or nest room and
do all of the feeding in the scratching
room, and also keep the dust bath in
this room right under the glass so that
the sun will shine in II and keep 1t dry

bility l would cover the roof with Ne

of the Rocks, but they mature earlier,
commence TO lay earlier and lay more

Changing quarters during the laying
season will check production.
There is nothing gained by it if the
fowls are always accommodated with
clean quarters.
Give your fowls lime, Bury few

where the hens frequent. Allow the
lime to project little above the surface
to attract them. Lime in the shape of
old plaster is also excellent.
Do not forget that the Ratchet is the

ITALIANIZING BEES.
Fall Il the Rest season for This Work
as Queens Can Then lie
Had Cheaply.

Autumn is the best time to Italianize
bees. Queens can be secured at half
price during the fall months, and by
thus changing queens we have the adj
vantage of the Italian stock the follow
ing spring. We can successfully intro
duce queens during the fall months as
long as the weather is warm enough to
handle bees. At the price queens can be
bought for now it almost pays to re-
queen every colony that has queens
over one year old, with young queens
of the present seasons raising.
Young queens introduced now will
produce good supply of late bees that
will Withstand the winter and, as a
result, will come out strong in the
spring. Young queens will, as a rule,
lay a good supply of eggs during the
fall months, when old queens will cease
laying entirely in midsummer unless
there is an unusual flow of honey late
in the season or they are supplied with
feed.
The usual course pursued in chang
ing queens, or introducing the same is.
first remove the old queen; and it is
preferable to place her in a cage and
preserve her until the new queen is
safely introduced and 4aying. If any
mishap occurs to the new queen the
old one can he returned. In frame
hives 1t is an easy matter to find the
queen by simply lifting out the frames
and carefully looking them over; the
queen being much larger than the
worker bees, is readily detected. In
other hives that are not movable frame,
or in common box hives. it is not i'm.
possible. but they may be Italianized
also.-National Rural.

Care of Young Chicks.

Never keep any more feed before
young chicks than they will eat up
clean, when confined in brooder, but
after you let them outside the brooder
always keep dry grain food in The
hrooder, in a little trough, so as to en-
tice them to return to the brooder, their
only home. See that their feed trough
IN brooder is full before shutdown.
Chicks must not be overfed, especial
ly when young. Chicks must be
kept warm, Chicks must be taught
correct habits in the first days
of their youth. Chicks must have
more attention than wheat or corn.
These rules apply to chicks, ducks and
turkeys .-Agricultural Epitomist.
