THE HONEY MAKERS.

The first work young bees do is feeding
the brood.
The first swarm is always the cream Of
the colony.
After the first swarms issue cut out all
the queen cells but one.
Granulated sugar is said to be the most
healthy diet for wintering bees-much
better than any quality of honey.
Whenever bees are allowed to breed too
early in the spring without having good
supply Of pollen they soon dwindle away.
Spring dwindling is always the result
of bad wintering. 1t is mostly produced
by a continuance of a long spell of cold
weather.
70 make dividing a success, colonies
should be very strong and almost ready
to swarm Care must be taken not to
get the stock too weak.
On the approach Of warm weather feed
sirup made from a good quality of gran
ulated sugar. This will stimulate brood
rearing, and when the honey season
opens you will have large working force
of bees.
The size of the cluster in the hive de-
termines the space occupied by young
brood. The queen, no matter how prolific
layer she is. must be confined to space
occupied by the cluster Of bees.-St. Lou

COTTON SEED DISEASE.


Evil Results of 0verinduIgence In
Popular Feed.
From comparatively recent obserya-
lions it is now well demonstrated that
where cattle have been fed on an ex-
elusive diet of cotton seed for any con-
siderable length of time an acute affec-
ton of the eyes results, says DR.. A. S.
Alexander In The Breeders Gazette
This complaint has been termed scot
ton seed disease" or cotton seed blind
ness" and thus far seems to have been
practically confined to southern cattle.
Recently DR.. F. G. McCurdy of Kan
sas City, while examining a herd of
small southern cattle at the stock
yards, observed that all had sore eyes,
that many seemed partially blind and
In a few hours there was a complete
loss of sight. At first glance it was
supposed that they were suffering with
enzootic ophthalmia AS they were be-
ing driven it was noticed that they
were very nervous, weak and exhaust
ed. They moved with an uncertain.
staggering gait Respiration seemed
hurried and difficult, and there was
frequent securing from the bowels.
"On reaching the pens" says DR.. Me
Curdy, they showed a condition of
nervous depression, remaining in one
position either recumbent or standing,
with the head down, with trembling of
the limbs and without Illuminating.
The owner said that their poor condi-
ton was caused quite recently by his
mistake of feeding them too much cot
ton seed" Some of the steers in the
affected lot became paralyzed and
showed temperature of over 100 II.
The eyes had small, Opaque areas in the
corners.
These bad cases were slaughtered,
having been previously condemned
The remainder of the herd was allow
ed to rest for five days and fed on hay.
In that time they again commenced to
ruminate, and the symptoms of weak
ness and nervous excitement or de-
preston had disappeared. There re-
manned only the LESSONS of the eyes
permanent opacity of the cornea-vary-
ing from small ulcer to bullying alb
scess, discharging pus
Inquiry developed the fact that many
cattle are seen in the stockyards show
ing symptoms similar to those men
tioned-very weak and poor in condi- |
ton, showing opacity Of Nle cornea |
and often swelling of the legs. In ev-
cry case the history was the same. The
cattle while en- route or at home had |
been fed too much cotton seed meal.
While It is not the intention to de- |
tract from the value Of cotton seed as
food, DIR. McCurdy thinks, from the |
number of cattle arriving at the stock
yards weak, blind and suffering with |
acute symptoms of this eye disease, !
that many feeders are not familiar
with the deleterious results from inju- |
dicious feeding of cotton seed. Cakes
made from the pressed huiled seeds are
safe, but the bulls should never be fed /
exclusively for hay. as. it seems. they |
are sometimes fed at the south. It
should be mixed with other food and /
given in gradually increasing quaint
ties until the cattle become accustom-
ed to it,

CREAMERY PROMOTION.
How Money Is Made out of overdo--
ing a Good Thing.

ing a Good Thing.
So called .promoters" of creameries
or canning factories are reaping a rich
harvest this year. We have explained
their methods many times, says Tie
Rural New Yorker. A slick, plausible
agent comes to town and talks to bust
ness men about the great value of a
creamery or canning factory. Of
course they agree with him, for the
town is to get the factory, and they are
to put up little money for it. Then
some prominent farmer is secured.
Usually he gets bonus for his work.
He goes around among the farmers
and talks it up He is good talker,
and the result is that farmers sign an
agreement to take certain amount OF
the stock of the concern. Then
meeting is held, a committee appoint
ed and usually an agreement is made
with the agent to have him build and
stock a factory. He names his own
price, which is usually 80 per cent or
more greater than the outfit is really
worth Then the promoter goes ahead
and puts up the plant. 1t is usually.
accepted" without hesitation by the
committee, and then the promoter
starts out to collect. By means of
bluffs, wheedling, promises or threats
he collects in cash or notes a good
share of the subscriptions. He then
gets out-usually diseounting the notes
at county bank He leaves behind a
factory costing far more than 1t should
and usually altogether too big for the
local needs. The business men and
sprominent citizens" who subscribed
large sums do not, as rule, pay much
actual cash. The cost is usually paid
by the farmers who subscribed smaller
sums. If the farmers are ready to
put up more money and produce
enough to keep the factory busy, they
may in time get their money out. II
is usually hard work to do this, and in
many cases the factory stands idle aft
er one brief and disastrous season. 1t
will be asked, How is it possible to
work such a game on shrewd, level
headed farmersT That is one of the
mysteries of agriculture. 1t remains
a sad fact that, while an honest and
respected man cannot induce his neigh
bors to cooperate, an irresponsible and
strange rascal can induce them to
throw their hard earned dollars into
his hat Who is the wise man that will
explain this thing?
