FREE DISTRIBUTION OF IMPROVED
VARIETIES OF SORGHU1.

The United States Department of
Agriculture has, for number of years,
been conducting experiments in the
improvement of varieties of sorghum.
The result of this work is a consider
able increase in the sucrOse content of
several varieties, which the Depart
ment is offering for free distribution to
the farmers of the country through the
medium of the State Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Stations. The Ohio Station,
at Wooster, will receive a consignment
of this seed, which will be distributed
free to farmers within the state who
wish to improve the quality of their
sorghum cane.
Since the quantity of seed is limited
and since the object of distribution is
to furnish the farmers with start OF
better varieties of sorghum, the seed
will only be sent out in quantities suff-
cient to plant one acre or less.
Farmers in Ohio who wish to secure
some of this seed should apply at once
to Agricultural Experiment Station
Wooster, Ohio.

FOOD FOR HENS.

Every farmer knows that when a
mild spell of weather occurs in the
winter the hens begin to lay, and then
cease when the temperature is low.
This fact demonstrates that warmth
has much influence on laying, and that
warm quarters are essential to egg pro-
duction. When the hens can4go on the
fields in the spring and forage they Sc
cure a large amount of insect food.
During the winter a substitute for such
foods may be allowed in the form OF
cut bone, ground meat, fresh meat and
change of grains. Corn and wheat
make excellent foods during cold wealth
er, but variety of foods must be given
in order to have the hens produce eggs.

WHEAT IN SPRING.

If the wheat does not look well after
spring opens apply 100 pounds of nj
trate of soda per acre, and the effect
will be noticed Immediately. Nitrate
of soda always gives good results on
wheat if applied in the spring, and
many crops have been saved by it's use.
The cost of the nitrate should not ex-
ceed 81. 30 per acre, and the increase OF
straw and grain will not only pay for
its use, but leave profit as we'll
Should the frost throw some of the
wheat plants up use the roller as soor
as it can be done.-St. Louis Globe.

NOTES FOR THE APIARY.

No beehive of ordinary make is in
tended to winter bees in alone. If a Gel
lar is not used for wintering, the ordi-
nary hive should be placed in a chaff
hive for winter.
The Importance of spacing frames of
comb in hive should not be overlook
ed. If too much space is given the bees
will build the combs so thick that it
will be necessary to shave them down
to proper thickness with sharp knife.
The surroundings of the hive should
always be kept clean and no weeds or
filth of any nature allowed to accumu-
late. A clean open place should be Sc
lected for the bees in the first place
where it can conveniently be kept in
order.
There is no feed better or cheaper for
bees than granulated sugar. 1t should
be thoroughly melted by adding little
water and heated to the boiling point.
To feed for winter stores place an up
per story on the hive and feed in feed
ers closely confined in this, so that no
bees can get in from the outside. The
best time of day to feed is late in the
evening, as near dark as possible.
Bees do good service with all those
who do good service for them, and it is
only silly to say that some people only
have 'good luck'' with them. 1t de-
pends entirely upon your management
and dealings with them. If you are ac-
qainted with their nature and habits
and work with them accordingly, you
will get the returns in a satisfactory
manner. All those who are timid and
| afraid of being stung with bees should
provide themselves with good bee
smoker and they would surprise them
selves at the results.
Wax is not gathered from flowers or
from any other source by bees, but is a
natural secretion of their own, and is
only produced by them during heavy
honey flows, or in other words from
heavy feeding, they seem to produce il
like beast does fat or tallOw. 1t is
readily discovered at such times by
close examination in the rings on the
under side of their body resembling fish
scales. They have thus under their
body six wax pockets and the little
scales may be seen protruding from the
same. On the bottom boards of hives
during such times may be found large
numbers of those scales.

Quite gallantly the Ohio congress

AGRICULTURAL.
WHEN TO SPREAD MANURE.

All the manure that is being leached
every time it rains or the snow melts is
greatly deteriorating, until by spring,
when it is to be hauled out and spread,
it will have about half or two-thirds it's
proper value as a fertilizer. The most
valuable constituent of it, the nitrogen,
is the part which is being most largely
wasted. Authorities all agree that
manure is best conserved and most
profitable to the land when hauled out
immediately.-Farm Journal.
