GROWTH on COLONIES
European Counties Deeply Inter-
ested in Their DEVELOPMENT.
Chies Of United states Treasury nu.
reau of Statistics Finas Great
Progress BEING Made Along
COmme rclal l.tnes.

The chief Of the treasury bureau of
statistics has just returned from a
brief visit to London. Paris, Berlin,
went for the purpose of making some
statistical studies regarding the com
merce of European countries and es-
pecially their commerce with and
their development of their colonies.
81 was greatly impressed" said Mr..
Austin, with the interest evinced in
colonial questions at all the capitals
which I visited. Each of these five
countries has its colonial department
or division, with thoroughly equipped
force largely made up of men who
have had long experience in the colo
nies of the country. In England. the
colonial office al the home government
interchanges, at intervals, its en-
ployes, as far as practicable, with the
colony, thus obtaining practical and
experienced men in the home office,
and keeping corps of men in training
in the colonies. At the Netherlands,
whose colonial work is matter of
pride on the part of every citizen of
that country, the head of the colonial
department, has had long experience
in Java, the principal Netherland col
ony, and one which has been eminent
ly successful. In France, the colonial
department is extremely active, OBJ
tanning large numbers of reports
from its colonial officers and distrib-
uting information by a specially or
ganized bureau for that purpose, and
in Germany and Belgium equal inter-
est was manifested.
Everywhere I found great public
interest in colonial matters outside
of official circles. In London, for in
stance there is a colonial institute,
composed of several hundred ex-of-
officials of the colonies and others in
terested in colonial matters. At
Paris there is colonial organization
with about 5000 members, and in
Germany, although their colonial sys-
tenn is young as compared with those
of England, Netherlands or France,
the Colonial association numbers
over 10000 members.
"In nearly all Of the countries in
question there are excellent and in
teresting colonial museums, devoted
to the exhibition OF not only the
products OF the colonies, but also the
articles required by their population.
Especial attention is given in all
cases to the ability of the colony to
meet the commercial wants of the
mother country. Countries which do
not produce within their own borders
the foodstuffs and raw materials re-
quired by their population, encourage
the production in the colonies of the
articles thus required at home, while
the countries which produce their
own foodstuffs or raw materials look
to the colonies for the tropical prod
ucts which they cannot produce at
home and encourage the production of
those articles in the colonies and
their distribution in the mother
country. The investment, of home
capital in the colonies is thus encour.

powdered sulphur that will stick to
them. Next, have a small pointed
iron rod, of which insert the pointed
end into the large end of the cob
Then you have saturated torches
ready for use. Removing all the com.
bustible matter from your poultry
house, enter with your torch, ignite
it. and go to work. permitting the
flames to enter every crack and crev.
ice all over the surface. momentarily,
and you have all the lice destroyed.
This should be done once month in
warm weather. 1t would be well and
wise to have tub and few buckets
of water handy in case your poultry
house should ignite from your torch
All poultry houses should be well

be used. because they may cause the
hens to take cold. All dips that car

poultry house is clean. as the hens
will soon become overrun again with
lice. just as soon as the lice leave
the poultry house the hens can cleal
their bodies by busting in ashes OF
dry earth. The heads and necks
should be rubbed with melted lard
once a month, to kill the large heaG

1t behooves the landowner to en-
courage the raising of live stock ON his
land; in fact, he cannot, for its sake,
grow grain crops continuously and sell
them on the land. 1t makes no differ
ence how much grain is grown on .
piece of land SO long as that grain is
fed to form animals on that land.
There can be no sppreciable loss of
soil fertility in such an instance.

TO PREVENT swAa,s,Ha
Best ana Nest Ecsnonieal TAine to
Ne n te Give the Bees Plenty
Of oesrase Room.

Strong gcolonees and plenty of storage
room is the fodndation for large crops
OF surplus honey, but the one must ac-
company the other. A strong colony
without storage capacity cannot do
anything but swarm, and IL this man
agement is followed up, swarming is
the result all through the honey sea-
son. The greatest profits are derived
from the honey stored in good ma rket-
able shape, so that the prevention of
swarms is the rule with beekeepers.
The best preventive of swarming is
plenty of storage room, so the bees
are never in want of a place to store
the nectar from flowers as they ga ather
1t. Storage room for surplus should
be added at the right time, and this is
not too early in the season, but allow
the colony to be confined to the brood
chamber untilthey become strong, and
the hive is full of bees. 1t usually is
said that surplus boxes should be put
on at the beginning of the principal
honey harvest, and as rule this is
right, but in some cases there are ex-
ceptions. If the colony is not strong,
the boxes should not be added until
they are strong enough. On the other
hand, we frequently have colonies so
strong some time before the honey
season is on that If extra room is not
added they will swarm. So that these
must have additional space just al the
time needed to keep down the swarm
ing fever.

Food Affects Egg Flavor.

The flavor of eggs is Influenced by
the food. This may be easily tested
by shutting up laying hen and giving
her garlic to eat. In few days the
eggs will indicate the flavor. Another
theory (but which is not fully con-
firmed) is that an egg laid on any
strong-smelling substance will con-
tract the odor. This is explained by
the fact that the shell when the egg
is first laid is comparatively soft and
impressionable, and becomes hard
only after contact with the atmo-
sphere. 1t is more probable, however,
that any Objectionable favor is due to
the food.-Farm and Fireside.
