The law in regard to bees is thus laid
down by a writer in the Farmers
Tribune, we know not how correctly, but
his statements seem reasonable and to be
founded on equity. A swarm of bees
leaving hive and not lost sight of may
be claimed by the owner, but he has no
right to commit damages to the property
of another to get them or to cut tree or
even branch to hive them. A swarm
of bees upon tree, or even seen flying
through the air, may be claimed by the
finder il the original owner is not known
or does not follow them up, but they
must be kept in sight by the claimant.
A swarm of bees wild in tree belongs
to the finder, if he marks his name on
the tree, or puts private mark on it,
but he must make terms with the own
ner of the tree. before it can be cut or in
any way damaged to secure the bees or
honey, yet the owner of the tree is not
supposed to own either bees or honey if
they have been previously found and
claimed by another party. Thus some
friendly agreement is best policy for
both parties, lest they get stings and the
lawyers have the honey.

sHeEp AS LAND cIsANe as.

The sheep is among the most useful
and valuable of domestic animals, being
a producer of wool used for clothing and
other purposes and of wholesome meat
But the sheep also is of large value on
the farm because of his fondness for
young sprouts and weeds.
According to an authority there are
nearly 900 varieties of known weeds, OF
which sheep will eat SIS kinds, while
horses, cattle and hogs will eat but a
few varieties. II is apparent that every
farmer could well afford to raise few
sheep if for no purpose other than the
destruction of weeds.
Weeds increase in numbers and varie-
ties as the country grows older. They
are found most abundantly in the old
countries of Europe. Their steady in
crease in this country demands that
farmers should raise sheep as among
other means looking to their extermiua-
tion.
By all means get two or three ewes
already bred, and give them the run OF
that foul pasture. Increase this flock by
breeding and purchase if advisable, until
the number is sufficient to keep down
the weeds on given area.
No farm is properly equipped without
sheep.-Exchange.

CORN CANNING SEASON.


The corn canning factories of Maine
are now right in their busiest season.
Operations were delayed more than ten
days, owing to the wet weather of early
summer, which delayed the planting OF
corn.
The planting of sweet corn in this
state has grown rapidly IN the last few
years, until now only New York and
Illinois exceed Maine in the number of
cans put up. Last year about twenty
two million cans were produced.
Though the beginning of work this year
is somewhat later than usual, indication
points to a bountiful harvest. Farmers
in most parts of the state say that the
corn crop will be large, and that the in
crease will more than offset the short
age in potatoes.
About twelve thousand acres Of sweet
corn have been planted this year, the
product of which is contracted for by
the canning factories. 1t is estimated
that the farmers will receive over $780,
900. The canning season lasts from four
to six weeks, and there are employed in
the various factories during that time
from 1900 to 5000 operatives. Two-thirds
of these are women, while large num-
Der of children are employed, and re-
ceive about cents basket for husking.
The total wages paid will reach $375, 900.
The packers pay farmers about $50
a hundred pounds for corn after it is
cut from the cob. The amount of corn
raised to the acre varies according to
soil and methods of tillage, but farmers
realize generally from $25 to $40 an
acre, although an acre of land has been
known to yield more than $50 worth of
corn.
The value of the seventy-five factories
in Maine is not less than $500, 900. Most
of the canning factories make their own
cans, and hence in each factory small
force of men is employed in this work
the year around. To make the cans for
years output of Maine canned corn
will require $4,000 boxes of tin plate,
weighing 6, 600, 900 pounds. Tin plate is
usually purchased or contracted for in
advance, and few factories have been
caught mapping this year. Yet there
have been some who have suffered by
the rise in tin plate.-Turf, Farm and
