Cost of Fatteninx Cattle.

A fat steer of 1000 pounds weight is
said to have in it 500 pounds of water,
about rs pounds of nitrogen, IS pounds
OF Phosphoric acid and two pounds of
potash. To buy this nitrogen to return
to the sol. it would cost about s.. so, and
the phosphoric acid would cost about
81. In selling such an animal raised on
the farm and farm products about $3.50
worth of fertilizing material is taken.
If bran, linseed meal or other grain is
bought to feed it, more than this would
probably be added to the farm, and it
would be growing richer, while if the
hay and grain it consumed had been
sold off the farm, it would have been
robbed of much more.-American Gull

Weak Swarms of Bees

When swarm of bees is found at the
close of the season light in weight it is
generally better policy to destroy it
than to try to keep it through the win
ter. The weak swarm is probably al
ready infested with bee worms, and
the sooner the propagation of these is
arrested the better, as their increase
makes greater danger for all the
swarms next year. If the weak swarm
is destitute of queen it's bees may be
transferred to a larger and stronger
swarm with advantage to both, though
In some cases more food must be pro-
vided for the strong swarm after this
addition, to enable it to winter without
loss.

PARASITES IN HIVES
How to Exterminate Insects Which
Prey Upon the Honey Accumu-
latiOnS Of Bees.

The presence of ants, cockroaches
ard other insects of this nature about
bee hives and in supers is largely the
fault of the hive used. Such hives
usually have corners and unoccupied
places in them wherein such insects
harbor. If you have supers that the
bees do not occupy on the hives re-
move them, or learn why the bees do
not go to work in them. Such supers
have open places to admit of these in
sects. Ants, cockroaches and such are
not considered damaging to bees to the
extent of bothering with them, except
in cases where the colony is weak and
cannot occupy all the combs or the
hives and supers. In this case the best
remedy is to build the colony up strong,
by feeding or giving it brood from other
colonies, and also removing for the
time being all surplus supers or combs,
ard excluding these pests by shutting
them out of such places. The latest
up-to-date hives and supers do not adj
nit Of insects, and the different parts
of the hive are not added until the
bees are ready to occupy them.
Ants get in their work of destruc-
ton most by getting on combs of
honey unoccuped by the bees. They
will soon destroy the appearance of
sealed comb honey by cutting the cap
pings full of holes. They will thus
congregate on combs of honey if the
receptacles containing the same will
admit of them. They may be entire
~ cut off from such by using a table
with the legs set in pals of water or
kerosene. Ants are very peculiar.
They have their roadways from one
hiding place to another, and frequent
ly travel long distances, and they seem
t. act as though they had the right
of way of these thoroughfares of theirs,
and do not even turn about from a
hive OF bees, but travel directly over
the bottom board of the hive. Bees
cannot do much with them, but let
them take their way to some extent.
Powdered borax is frequently used
for driving ants from the hives. by
sprinkling it about their haunts; but
the best way to get rid of them is to
locate their nests, which may easily be
done by following their trail, and pour
bi-sul phide of carbon into the nest.

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Bees can endure dry cold, but not
dampness.
When honey is overheated it's color
is injured.
Spring is usually the best time to in
vest in bees
Lack of ventilation is a cause of
dampness IN many hives.
More bees are lost by wintering than
by disease o. any other cause.
Bees Matched in the fall will live
through the winter until spring.
Extracted honey is much easier kept
than comb honey, as the latter is liza
bic to get soiled.
No drones are reared in a colony un-
til the colony becomes strong with
plenty of worker brood.
Combine beekeeping with fruit
growing and you can more easily pro-
cure two crops from the same land.
Honey that remains in the comb for
some time after being stored is al
ways the best article when extracted
In very cold weather bees often die,
and, falling, will clog the entrance.
They must be removed or the bees will
smother.
During the winter care must be
taken in removing dead bees, so as not
TO disturb the hive and arouse them
into activity.
Stirring honey unnecessarily causes
it to candy sooner than it otherwise
would. Usually there is no reason for
disturbing it.
All work that is to be done with
bees in winter time must be done on
warm days while the bees are flying,
and at no other time.
If there is too much drone comb in
the hive remove it and replace it with
worker comb. In this way the supply
of drones is easily regulated.
It is not so much in understanding
the theory of beekeeping that brings
success as in the capacity for looking
after the details.-St. Louis Republic.

How to Locate Henhouses.

Poultry houses should not be located
on the north side of clump of ever
green trees or to the north of build
ings that will shut off the supply of
sunshine in the winter time. Sun
shine should be present at all times
of the day; it's salutary effect will be
remarkable. In the summer time the
fowls naturally get all the sunshine
they want without our help, but at
this time of year we must give them
our help. Sunshine will keep the air
dry and will to some extent neutralize
the moisture constantly being thrown
off from the lungs of the fowls. A few
good-sized windows on the south side
will prove of immense value.-Farm-
