LATEST THING IN BEES.
Beekeepers Are After the Red Glover
Honey-The Long ToaGued Bee.


Honey-The Long Tongued Bee.
The latest fad in bees Is strain with
long tongues that can extract the nee
tar from the deep tubes of the red c!o-
yer blossoms. Beekeepers have for
long time coveted the honey in the red
clover blossoms, and the italian bees
when introduced into this country were
supposed to be able to reach it, and the
lob was placed in their hands. But
after a lapse of time it was discovered
that but a small per cent Of them did
any work on red clover blossoms.
or late the fact has been developed
that some bees have longer tongues
than others. Various ingenious contriy-
ances have been made to get the ex-
act measurements of the bees tongues,
and it has been found that they vary in
length all the way from fifteen one
hundredths to twenty-three one-hun-
dredths of an inch, the last named be-
ing very rare. If am not mistaken,
few perhaps have exceeded this. 1t
seems that the required length Is about
twenty-five one-hundredths.
Every beekeeper of note is now busy
improving his stock along this line, and
If you were to pick up bee journal of
the present you would find in most Of
the advertisements Of queen breeders
the announcement of the tongue length
of his breeding stock. Everybody Is
confident that 1t will require but lit
tie time and patience to add length
to the tongues of all bees, for there has
been so much attained In breeding bees
In other ways that this does not seem
impossible. 1t is well known that the
common red clover is perhaps the
heaviest nectar producing plant known,
and honey from 1t is of, fine quality.
The value will not altogether lie in the
honey crop, but the complete fertiliza-
ton Of the bloom will add greatly to
the seed crop, thus benefiting the farm

SCRATCHING FOR AND FEEDING CHICKS.
brood than a hen. They are especially
valuable for taking care Of chickens
Matched by artificial means. The great
trouble connected with artificial incu-
baton has been in raising the chickens
after they are hatched. 1t is not only
a great deal less trouble to have ca
pons carry the chick, but n much larger
per cent can be raised.
We avoid the crowding that we have
in brooders, and the heat, being natural,
is Of course just what we need. II you
do not use an incubator they are very
serviceable in taking the first chicks
Matched in the spring. You can give
the chicks to a capon and either reset
the hen or put her to laying again.
When meat alone Is desired, the large
breeds, as Bfahma, Cochin, Langshan,
etc, are best, but for carrying chicks
we would advise the use Of the smaller
and more industrious breeds, as Leg
horn, Game, etc. The Plymouth Rock.

council devoted nearly all day to the
consideration of the appropriation bill
and passed it this afternoon with few
minor notifications. Only Burns,
Fielder and Easley voted against it.
Every item was considered carefully
and it is claimed that the territory is
saved 100000 by the bill as it passed
the council. There was but slight op-
position to any of the appropriations
and the amendments covered mostly
typographical and clerical errors
Hughes explained the increased appro-
priation for the University of New
Mexico at Albuquerque. Fielder moved
that the secretary and treasurer of the
New Mexico College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts be excepted from the
provisions of the bill that the secretar-
les and treasurers of such institutions
serve gratis, This motion was defeated
as was also the motion by Easley to re-
duce the appropriation for each judge
of the supreme court from 81 500 to
$1,000: and motion by Fielder to re-
duce the appropriation for the contin-
gency expenses of the government from
$4,000 to 81 900. In passing the appro-
priation for $4,000 for the bureau of
immigration. an amendment was adop-

be distributed at the Pan-American and
st. Louis expeditions. A motion to re-
duce the appropriation allowed for the
salary of the secretary of the bureau of
immigration from $1,000 to 5000 was
defeated. The same fate was melted
out to a motion by Hughes to increase
the appropriation for the salary of the
clerk of the supreme court from 5000 to
$1,000. The printed bill provided for
an appropriation of 81 900 for the sal
airy of the superintendent of public in
struction. This was amended so as to
make the salary as heretofore. 50. 500.
The appropriation of 81 900 for printing
the superintendent report was how
ever reduced to $500. In section of
the printed bill. the following items
were inserted: To DR.. j. II. Sloan for
medical attendance at the deaf and

superintendent of public instruction for
