Law Suit.
COLUMBIA, July 1.-THE brief of the
United States against the state has been
received by Attorney General Bellinger.
When the suit was first announced the
state officials did not exactly understand
what it was all about, but the brief ex-
plains it.
It seems that in 1850 the state issued
bonds for the completion Of the state
house and by some means 100000 Of
them came into the possession of the
federal government, and suit is now
made demanding the full face value Of
the bonds with interest since 1850. The
total amount sued for will be about

est powers in the world shut up in

America absolutely unable to extend

Cooking Coarse Fodder.

In feeding cornstalks the dairy cows
show that they relish them much bet.
ter than whom fed dry and hard
There is improvement in the actual
nourishing qualities of the stalks by
| cooking them, for the process does
not add anything to them, but the
fact that the fodder is made more pal.
atable to the animals is sufficient ex.
cuse for ono adopting this course.
Dry, hard cornstalks are not really
pleasant food to cows, and many will
eat them only when forced to it from
hunger. But if the stalks are taken
and cut up into small lengths, aud
then cooked or steamed and fed TO the
animals warm, they have an odor that
is refreshing. Cows will eat the mush
thus made greedily. If one has steam
on the farm the fodder stalks can be
cooked with the steam much quicker
than by any other method. If we add
little grain to this cooked mush the
cows will eat far more than when fed
any other way. Iu feeding the stalks
IN this way the grain food should not
be cut down, as some are inclined TO
do, for as said before, nothing is adj
ded to the stalks by cooking them.
[ believe that all good dairy COWS
respond quickly to good feeding and
little improvements in the method of
preparing their food. In cold weather
they show the effect of warm feeding
Immediately. 1t stands to reason
that they feel better when they have
warm food to take into their stomach,
just as much as man. BY tempting
them in this way we undoubtedly in
crease the flow of milk. Anything
that freshens the appetite and makes
the food more palatable is very apt to
affect the milk flow favorably. The
work of steaming or cooking the fod-
der adds quite materially to the dairy
mans labors, but if it can be done
once or twice week it will help to
improve the milk supply. Poultry
raisers see to it that their birds have
warm food once day through the
winter, and it may be that dairymen
can find in it lesson for them. They
all agree that warm food agrees with
the hens laying eggs and greatly helps
in increasing the supply of this prod

Entrance to Hives.

Entrances to hives in winter have
been subject of much discussion.
My experience is that the entrance to
hives should all be contracted in win
ter. [ do not think that strong col
onies require largo entrances in win.
ter, and L should have all entrances
contracted up to but small opening.
[ think it better if it can conveniently
be done, to close all entrances up en-
tirely during very cold weather. The
greatest objection to this is that we
are liable to forget to open them ON
warm days when the bees should be
out flying.
While | am a firm believer in small
entrances in winter, [ am as firmly in
favor of Il very large one in summer.
Hence [ do not believe we can have n
summer entrance that will an swer for
winter. To winter we'll and keep in
the best condition, bees should have
frequent flights. If left'in the sum
mer hives without the protection of
chaH hives they require more frequent
flights than il protected in chaff hives
They remain much longer in chat
hives where the temperature is more
even without becoming in any way in
need of flight, as they feed more
lightly on the honey and will bear
confinement longer.
Bees consume more honey in thin
hives to keep up their natural heat
and the effects of heavy feeding thus
necessitates more frequent flights.
When bees are carefully examined
and placed in good shape just at the
beginning of winter, it is scarcely
necessary to again examine them
much before the month of February.
and not latter than the first of March.
the time being governed by the
weather. March is the time that
many become short of stores and the
hives need cleaning. Much dirt and
filth accumulates in the hives, and it
is only the strongest colonies that can
thoroughly remove it, and we should
not depend upon them to accomplish
this, but clean them all out during
iine days when the bees are out on
the wing. A. II. Duff, in Farm.
