EFFECTS OF FEEDING.
Instructive Results Obtained by
Poultry Experiments Conducted
by Scientific Observers.

In some experiments carried on at
one of the western stations two lots
of hens were fed differently, with the
purpose of ascertsining what the eff
feet would be on the winter produc-
tion of eggs. One lot was fed merely
wheat screenings and corn, while the
other and more favored lot had va
riety of food and meat in abundance.
The lot fed on wheat and corn alone
did not begin to lay till nearly March,
but they laid during the year an av-
erage of $50 eggs. The better-treated
lot only laid 1873 eggs each. But a
very large share Of the eggs from ME
well-fed hens came in December, Jan
uary and February, when eggs We're
high and the average price obtained
for them was IS cents per dozen. The
eggs from the hens fed on wheat and
corn brought only II cents per dozen.
Thus the eggs from the hens that
had q mixed ration brought $3.50
while the eggs from the other lot
brought $1.ss, . difference Of 65 cents
per fowl for the year. The reason is
obvious to every poultryman. The
other hens matured very slowly and
did not reach the point where laying
was necessity I'LL the time when tho
price, Of eggs fell to the lowest points-

ICE is A NECESSITY.
The Farmer who Has Once Put Up
Crop of II VIII DO So Every
Year Thereafter.

Although the storing Of ice has been
ly now, and the advice given to every
one to put up ice for next summer S
use will not be out Of place. The idea
that ice is only u luxury 10 q back
number" with those who have had ice
for several years; to them it has be-
come necessity. With its use the
butter can be kept solid, the milk kept
sweet. victuals kept palatable from one
meal to another, and the family can
enjoy ice cream without purchasing
it or without going miles perhaps to
buy "a chunk of ice. The idea of buy
ing ice as cheaply as it can be put up
is mistaken one, and the calculation
being made TO buy ice the coming sum
mer simply means that we will do with
out it.
1t is not essential to have a house
built on purpose for the storing of ice.
We once stored a block Of ice eight
feet square and about ten feet high.
and after the block was finished we
DulIV IL SduulC oi rams dIO Ouuu II, pun
ting straw in the cracks to hold the
sawdust, placed a cover of boards over
it, and the ice kept quite well
In storing ice we always cut the
blocks in size to fill the house to within
foot from the walls, and pace in the
same position as it is taken out Of the
water; this makes every layer quite
level and it is much less labor than
when we set up on edge as some recon-
mend, and it will keep fully as well.
After each layer the joints should be
filled with snow or pounded ice, or saw
dust will do about as well. lamp saw
dust as solid as possible around the
sides and over the top. Watch your
ice closely during the spring months
for this is really the most critical time; ;
If air passages are formed through the
sawdust, the ice will melt very rapidly
and by the time you wish to com
mence to use it, it may have melted
away considerably.
When using ice remove the top layer
entirely before taking off the second.
Try putting up quantity of ice this
winter and see If you wish to do with
out it again.-Jacob Dickman, in Ohio

IMPROVING THE BEES.
Reared from the Best Colonies
and with Great Care.

1t is very important that we rear
queens from our best colonies and
thus improve our stock. IL we depend
upon natural cells at swarming time
from which to rear our queens, we
should be very careful to save all the
cells from the best colonies only, and
from no others. After the first swarm
issues, there will be left in the hive,
If the colony is good one, perhaps a
dozen queen cells, and we may save
the entire lot Dy starting some nu.
cleus and giving each a cell, leaving
one cell in the hive. This will pre-
vent any more swarms from issuing
from the colony.
If we raise our queens artifcially
we can select any choice queen we see
fit, and we may draw on this choice
queen to such extent that we may
requiem our entire apiary from this
one colony. This is one advantage
We have in thus rearing queens on the
artificial plan. We can improve in
any certain line of breeding much
faster. We can at any time secure
queen cells, whether in swarming
season or out of the same, by taking
the queen from the colony. The bees
will at once begin to convert some
ordinary worker brood into queens,
and will start number of cells, which
we will treat the same as those at
swarming time and thus rear queens
from them in the same way.
Most of the queens now reared fOr
the trade arc bred on the artificial
plan. and many contend that they
are in all respects as good as those
bred naturally, and the difference is
not so great that any one buying the
same cares to ask whether or not
they are from the natural or artificial
rearing. Many OIL these queens are
bred from queens imported from Italy,
and almost every breeder who breeds
them for the trade has at least one or
two imported queens. 1t has been
said that we have improved the orig.
inal Italian bees by select breeding
in this country, and there is no doubt
Of the fact, and the demand for home.
bred stock of this kind is ahead OF
the imported.-A. II. Duff, in Farm
