DIFFERENCE IN BEES.
Figures Demonstrate That Some of
the Busy Insects Are Not rs
Busy as Others.

The thought is familiar to farmers
that it takes about the same to keep
a poor COW as good one, the chief
profit in herd of mixers sometimes
depending largely on few extra good
ones, but the thought may not be so
familiar that the same thing obtains
with bees. 1t is none the less true.
1t sometimes happens in poor sea-
son that one colony stores quite bit
of surplus for it's owner, while anoth-
er colony sitting right beside it not
only gives no surplus but does not
gather enough for its own support,
but has to be fed for winter. 1t
should be remembered that the great
ter part of what the bees gather
from the flowers does not find its way
into the surplus boxes, but into the
brood chamber to be eaten by the
bees themselves. A writer in Clean
ings puts the matter in this fashion,:
The flowers within range of my
home yard give on an average yearly,
say, 10000 pounds of honey. Now, il
l keep the average run of bees it will
take about 100 colonies to gather it.,
or 100 pounds of honey for each COL
ony. OF this it will take about 70
pounds to keep each colony n year,
leaving me only 80 pounds surplus to
the colony, or 5000 pounds from the
whole yard. But If l keep stronger
and more Industrious bees, so that
each colony would gather 14O
pounds, it would require but II col
onies to gather the whole 10000
pounds; and as it would not require
any more to keep each colony than it
does the poorer stock, l should get
5000 pounds of surplus instead OF
1900 pounds when l had to keep 100
colonies, to say nothing of the smaller
number of colonies to care for, or
hives to keep in repair. And what is
true Of my home yard is true to a
greater or less extent of any other
| wards.

answered by darky, who was frightened

A Problem That Puzzles Many.

Which is most profitable, to go into
poultry raising for the sale of flesh
and eggs to consumers, or to go into
the raising of breeders to sell to other
people? Well, that depends on a good
many things. The man with no cap
ital is not likely to make much trying
to raise fancy poultry, unless he is
more than ordinarily fortunate in Sc
curing customers for his breeding
birds and eggs. 1t takes money to
find customers after the eggs and
breeding birds are produced. But II
man has the money he can find the
customers. The finding of market
for fresh eggs is not difficult, and
poultry meat can always be sold at
market prices.-Farmcrs' Review.
