PRODUCING American quail into that
country. The birds were sent from
Kansas via San Francisco, and after
a long and tempestuous voyage, which
proved fatal to a large number, 430
of the first consignment reached their
destination. but the death rate then
proved to be very high. Subsequent
shipments were more successful. and
lots of from twenty to 200 have been
distributed at q dozen different points.
In its fifteenth annual report the Wei
lington Acclimatization Society notes
that the quail r doing well in their
new home. One serious drawback to
the enterprise is found in the poison
ing operations which are carried on
extensively for the suppression Of the
rabbit pest. Large numbers Of the
birds are known to have persisted
from this cause.-Forest and Stream.

Hints For the Apiarist.

DO not use sulphur for quieting beef
for it will not work. One Ohio farmer
tried it and was stung to death.
Italian bee, show a preference for
working n clover, while black bees
take more kindly to buckwheat and
Eastwood.
See hat the bees have a watering
place. If there is no convenient place
handy, furnish one for them. Bees
must have water every day.
Avoid disturbing the bees early and
late or on rainy days. but select a nice
lay when many Of the bees are In the
field gathering honey and pollen.
In moving bees from one location &c
another better not attach the horses
to the wagon until the load is on. I'm
hitch before unloading, for If a bee
should escape 1t would invariably
sting the horses.
In painting hives, light colors should
be selected. Dark shades attract the
heat much more than light. When
the hives are standing in the rays Of
the sun there is considerable differ
enc in the temperature of light and
dark Lives.
Arranging an apiary where only a
few bees are kept Is simple. Set the
Yhiyes On q low stand. Where the
I hives have run up in the dozens or

Growing Pumpkins.

For many years we We're accus.
toned . grow pnIapkins among the
corn, as was almost the universal GUS
tom when we were a boy. We never
quite decided whether the pumpkins
injured the corn crop in any way
or 0 Probably they did not so long
as we followed the old custom of
manuring the corn in the hill, and
perhaps they do not when the field
is well MANFRED, and a little extra
fertilizer is put in the hill. We have
had pumpkin seed dropped when the
corn was put in. but we preferred
to go into the neld after the corn was
up, and with the finger push plump
seed down by the side Of every other
hill in every other row. thus having
the seed pointed downward, instead
of lying fiat. This gave Us single
vines about seyen feet apart each way,
and the vines would not have run
much until the corn had been given
it's last cultivation. But II we lest
some corn by growing the pumpkins
among it, which we were by no means
sure of, we know that we had lots
of good feed for mich cows and for
those cattle that we were intending
to turn off for beef. Often a yoke of
old ken and one or two cows, or per-
haps a young bull. got their first start
in the fall on the pumpkins we cut
up for them. and the immature ears
of cor we found when husking. They
seemed to, and probably did. grow
faster than after we changed them,
and so did the hens, and we never
worried about the seeds doing any
damage to either so long as the flesh
of the pumpkin was eaten with the
seed. They are also good for sheep.
We think. although we eve fed many
to sheep. The pumpkin is to some
extent regaining its old-time popular
ity for pie purposes, as many claim
to prefer it to the squash.-American
