because they Ire better housekeep-
ers; because they are quieter and
easier to handle; and because they
can reach nectar in flowers which
the black bees cannot. The easiest
way to secure the Italian is to send
TO some breeder. The queen will ar
rive in a wire cage. Go through
your hive, catch your black queen,
and kill her. Lay the queen, cage
and all, on top of the frames and If
the bees do not cut her out in twenty-
four hours you can remove the wax
stopper and turn her loose.
When a queen is killed in a hive
there is a great connection. The
bees know that they have suffered a
loss that will lead to the destruction
Of the hive unless they can replace
her. They at once commence build
ing queen cells to grow a new queen
from fresh eggs, but if by what must
seem to them a miracle a new queen
is found Gagged on top of the hive,
they at once begin to feed her and
try to release her. When this queen
has fairly begun to lay fresh eggs,
say in a week after she is admitted,
by making a small hive with many
partitions and cutting a frame with
fresh eggs in it and putting a few
bees in each part, you can raise all
the queens you want. If you will
then by the use of a drone trap kill
off the drones in all the other hives
except the n that has the queen in,
these will notmate with drones from
the first laying of the italian queen.
This is a little trouble, but it is the
kind of trouble that pays.
We might fill up this page of the
paper with bee talk, but it is enough
at one lesson to show those of our
readers who may not know much
about bees the Importance of, first,
having movable frame hives, and
second, italian bees.

beef by all means breed a beef type

tolerate a cheap, mixed or cross-bred

less than a dollar, and tons of butter

do not use a thermometer in churn-

the writer that he firmly believed
that the average price of all the but

be increased at least two cents per
pound in two years if the thermome-
ter were used at every churning, and

A writer in the Germantown Tele-
graph tells how he hives his bees
when they have swarmed. The
method is new to us and we give it
in his own language:
81 have used a device like this {:
Take a piece of board, say 10 or II
inches square 4; bore nine or 10 inch
holes in it, and in each of these holes
stick q corncob. Get a light stick IA
to Is feet long, insert one end in this
board, and when your bees swarm,
elevate these cobs, and carry it
around among the bees where they
seem to be thickest, and they are
quite sure to settle on them. Then
you have only to empty them down
before the already prepared hive.
You see, this saves climbing into
trees cutting off limbs and lowering
them down, which needs a careful
hand, and even then, for one cause
or another, they are Jared off and
the work has to done over. This
scheme simpliies matters, is very
practical, is easily done, and there is
no patent on it,"

THOROUGH AND SUCCESSFUL DA1RY1Na

Correspondence OF The Progressive Farmer.
The intensive method of dairying
is very simple to explain, but it is
not so easy to practice. It begins
with good COWS, or at least the foun-
dation for a good herd in the shape
of a good bull. Let good blood be
introduced somewhere, and then
proceed deliberately and carefully to
grade up the animals, limiting the
number until the very best is OBJ
tanned. IF the farm is a small one
it is better to have only a few cows,
just enough to find support on the
farms products. When you come
to buying hay and grain for the
dairy herd you invariably contract
debts that can never be paid. Yet
the animals must be fed literally and
steadily winter and summer. They
cannot be neglected in this way. It
is only by a good system of raising a
rotation of food crops, of soiling, and
of laying aside plenty of ensilage and
winter hay that we can hope to feed
the lows properly and at not too
great an expense. Those who think
that dairying consists solely in feed
ing and milking the COW have not
learned the rudimentary principles
of the work. Dairying presupposes
a good knowledge of general farm
ing, especially of that branch which
concerns itself with grass, hay and
corn crops. If one does not under

HOGS AND CLOVER sPECIALTIEs.


Correspondence OF The Progressive Farmer.
The man who has little capital ex-
cept land can build up with the
chances of making money better
with hogs and clover than any other
farm crops, but to do this he must
make a speciality of the business.
There is no better mortgage litter
than hogs, but not every farmer
knows how to raise hogs to the best
advantage. AS a matter of expert
ence 1 consider that we nave yet a
good deal to learn about hog raising,
although some of us have approached
pretty close to the ideal method. 1
suppose I have lost as many hogs
through cholera as many breeders,
and I am sure I have failed to fatten
others as fast as they we're intended
by nature simply because I was igno-
rant of the right way. But a man
learns a lot through experience and
hard work, and 1 have not been the
last to take advantage of my own
failures and successes as well as of
those of my friends and neighbors.
I think now that I can raise hogs
with as little tendency to cholera as
most farmers, and I believe that the
whole secret is simply in starting
them right, feeding them properly
and keeping their sanitary surround
ings as they ought to be. We have
all reached the conclusion that clover
is essential to successful hog raising,
and that a too heavy diet of corn is
bad for them. I go further and say
that if you go to the opposite extreme
and feed too much clover you are not
going to fatten the hogs as proftabJy
as they should be, and you will lose
nearly as much as if a few were lost
each year with the cholera. Glover
is an excellent summer food for the
hogs, and l turn mine in the field to
feed on it, but at the same time l
give them feed all through the sum-
mer. I feed them daily in summer
with shorts and corn, and this helps
to fatten them. An exclusive diet
of corn makes them thin and lean.
and as some say makes them ready
to lay on fat when winter-fed on
corn. But it is much better to let
them lay on a little of the fat in sum-
mer while they are growing, and not
leave it all for winter. When winter
comes 1 do not turn them suddenly
on d corn diet, which is apt to make
them stuffy and heavy even in cold
water. On the contrary, / continue
their mixed diet of clover hay and
grass, oats, bran, shorts and roots.
I add more of the grain diet in cold
weather because they require more
for heating purposes, and besides it
is the season for fattening. But I
never give them an exclusive corn
or grain diet winter or summer any
more than l give them a clover diet
without the corn. The combination
of the two, I believe, always pro-
duces the best results.

Don't water and feed when hot

Did it ever strike the average
that a decrease in the number of
birds in a given locality has always
been followed by a great increase in
the number of insects destructive to
vegetation? asks Farmers Exchange.
To stop the destruction of birds,
stop the hunters or, if they must
shoot something, insist on their
shooting that nasty little English
sparrow.

STABLE

Give your stable a thorough clean
ing occasionally. 1t will more than
repay you in the way of appearance,
and be beneficial in a sanitary way.
Always water your horse before
feeding. You can teach him todrink
then by not offering water after
feeding, thereby avoiding possible
cohc.

CEDAR TEA AS A LICE KILLER.

If one has cedar trees on his prem
ises he is in possession of a very
cheap and effective lice killer. The
Gedars will probably be the better
for some trimming, and the branches
thus removed should be bruised with
a hammer and then cut into short
lengths according to the size of the
vessels in which they are to be stepped.
Pour sufficient boiling water over
the cedar twigs to make a strong de-
coction and sprinkle this on the
walls, in the nesting boxes and over
the perches. The tea will be greatly
strengthened if the vessel is placed
over the fire and the water which
has been poured over the cedar
boiled for a couple of hours. The
scent of the cedar is very offensive
to lice, and such a preparation as we
have described will completely rid
the poultry house of the pests. 1t
will also exterminate the bedbug
pest, which is often quite as much
Of a nuisance as the chicken lice.
And the myriads of feas which
sometimes c~ongregate on the floor
Of poultry house, which stands in
neighborly proximity to the pig pen,
viii cease their jumping Immediately
after taking their first sip Of the
cedar tea.-Wallace's Farmer.
