A Common Mistake.

1t is mistake to undertake to breed
too many varieties. l have made and
am making that mistake. The result is
that have been obliged to spend near
~ $4,000 for buildings and appliances
to properly house and separate so many
birds. So much capital cannot profita-
bly, be invested in breeding varieties
that may be classed as belonging strict
ly to those that appeal to the fancy
without regard to utility. If you can
afford it, keep as many varieties CT
bantams as you like, but do not ex-
pect immense profits" for they are
not to be made in that way. / speak
from experience, for while sell every
year very large number of birds at
good prices l still have to consider my
chickens as hobby, to be settled for
like other hobbies, out of the proceeds
of more serious and less attractive
business enterprises.-A. e. Blunck in

Notes ON CIenatis.

The large Powered clematises are
among the most snowy of all climbing
plants, and with their blooms several
inches across overlapping each other
on vigorous plant in June and July
the display Is source of mingled sur
prise and pleasure. These are hybrid
varieties, of which Clematis jackmani,
known by its velvety purple, large
floral leaves and central tuft of pale
green stamens, is the most popular.
In the region of New Jersey various
kinds of clematis are hardy and in ev-
cry way to be recommended. Professor
Earle states that the Jackman clematis
succeeds.in Alabama only in shaded
situations. when protected in New
Hampshire. it is fine" according to
Professor Rane, while in Colorado it is
the usual plan to lay plants down and
cover with earth or straw for winter.
In Iowa sit succeeds with winter pro-
tection," and for Missouri sit is as
hardy as Others" Clematis paniculata
is not safe in many localities.

my limited knowledge gave me a con-
ception of her methods and to improve
on them where, in my judgment, i'm
proyement was possible.
In observing wild birds 1t has seemed
to me that they hunt food about all

pictured them as often going to their
roosts at night with their hunger but
partly appeased.
Fowls will not exercise for the sake
Of exercise Given full crop and they
will doze until hunger prompts them to
move. This has been my experience
and the experience of all with whom
have conversed on the subject. Given
a mash in the morning they apparently
do not see the grain thrown in litter
for them to scratch for.
With my first lot of fowls followed
the beaten paths given in poultry lit

would clean up quickly" of mash in
the morning as instructed. "All they
would clean up quickly bothered me
a bit, for 1 found their appetites to
vary considerably, pen of II fowls
cleaning up anywhere from one to six
pounds, so that when making the mash
I was at loss to know how much
meal to use. The monday meal of
grain scattered in litter seldom interest

modic and rare. / changed the bill of
fare and fed them mash for the noon

grain in deep litter during the day imi-

about half of the quantity they clean

other portion and a third. with about
ten minutes interval between each, and
noted they ate fully one-half more in
this way. Since then have repeatedly
tried feeding them at once the full
quantity they ate the night before, but
never had them finish it. In short, by
feeding small quantities at time was
coaxing them to eat more than they
otherwise would In theory, as in fact,

an innocent looking egg and dug my

went off with a bang. and the interior
squirted out all over my new spring

ish council was elected year ago, and
there was not even dispute. This
egg had mistaken it's place and ought
never to have taken up the calling of

distance from the house, and the black

mind an unsavory odor, being brought
up in the trade, as it were, are carry

How to Hive Them With n Basket.
The Queen Trap "a Nent Affair.
If the cluster is low, it is easy to
hive swarm of bees. Slip basket
right ur under the cluster and jar the
limb. Ii the bees have clustered high
up in tree, get pole long enough to
reach them and fasten the basket to
the end of it. A common peach basket
will do very we'll When you have the
basket right up under the cluster, give
the pole sharp jerk upward, which
motion will jar the limb, and the bees
will drop into the basket. Have the
hive under the tree and dump the bees
in front of it, and they will march in
like an army. The hives should be
raised an inch or two in front to give
them air. The bees will commence to
give q contented hum, and If there are
any remaining on the tree they will
hear it and join the rest. In the even

ton where it is to remain.
Sometimes a swarm will cluster on
the trunk of n tree or wall; then it Will

them into the basket. The ringing OF

notions are of no avail. A first swarm

yet seen it to miss. provided the queen
was with them, and if the queen is not
with them they will most surely return
to their hive. Sometimes n swarm will
hang on tree all day, and then again
they may depart in little while. 1t is
better to hive them within half hour
after they have issued if possible.
Still better way is to have queen
traps on the hive to catch the queen.
With the queen traps it is a delight to
hive swarms. When the swarm issues,
the queen cages herself and cannot
leave witt. the bees. The swarm will
cluster on some tree, when the apiarist
can replace the old hive with an empty
one and place the trap with the queen
in front of the new hive on the old
stand The bees will remain from 10
to 20 minutes, when they will return
and enter the new hive. The apiarist
can then release the queen, and she
will run in with the swarm, and the
hiving is done, says +. G. Herman in

EXPERIMENTAL CROPS.

Two Forage Plants That Arc Now
Coming to the Front.
Two crops that have lately assumed
prominence in this country are Canada
field peas and rape. In recent Michi-
gan test the Improved Prussian Blue
and the Black Marrowfat varieties of
peas were used. The Improved Prus-
sian Blue variety was sown on May II
and harvested on Sept. 5. The vines
were then 10 feet long, and the yield
was ~ bushels per acre.
The Black Marrowfat was sown on
May IL and harvested Sept. 5. The
vines were then 10 feet long, and the
yield was "a bushels per acre. Wet
weather caused both varieties to BIOS
som until harvest time. Both are rec
commended as very strong growers, and

About DahIias.


Many cultivators are much worried
that their dahlias are not planted.
Others are turning away, thinking that
it is too late for this season. AS far
as my experience goes this is all folly.
There have been more dahlias wasted
in recent years by early planting than
from any other cause. Last season my
best results were from tubers which
were practically dormant and planted
at intervals from June II to July 4.
The very best results of all came from
paintings made on June 81. After max
ing careful investigation along these
lines and asking for results from sue
cessful growers within radius of 400
miles of New York city find that the
majority have not planted earlier than
June Is to get their exhibition blooms.
Their results are beyond question.
The advantages of late planting are
logical. 1t is the experience of every
one and more especially of those who
are complaining Of lack Of success in
Towering that Il remarkable growth
takes place i'll May and early June,
when the tubers a.e FIRST It out; that
the plants grow and flourish fer awhile
and then stop, and the foliage grows
smaller instead Of lii;s,:ser and dries up,
and whatever flower buds may be
formed so practically the same way.
The plants never revive until fall and
in many instances not even then.
Late planting prevents all this. mas
much as the first severe hot spell or
drought is passed before the plants at
tain any size. In fact. they never stop
growing. Another great advantage is
that treated in this way no stakes are
required. Roots can be planted close
together in the row, and they Will re-
sist wind and any ordinary gale with
out the assistance of stake. They
begin blooming in August and are prac-
tically never out of bloom until frost
cuts them down.
1t is my confident belief that if the
practice Of late and deep planting were
generally adopted there would be less

not flower" So writes ]. W. Withers

IMPROVED PRUSSIAN BLUE FIELD PEAS.
both were entirely free from insects.
The fact that the Black Marrowfat
was sown on much lower ground may
account for the difference in yield.
AS the question of cheap pork pro-
duction assumes greater proportions,
forage peculiarly suited for pigs must
certainly come to the front. 1t is well
known that the pig thriveS on grass
or green feed alone, but the Importance
and necessity of feeding him on such
are very often overlooked. The condi-
tons governing feeding operations,
however, enter into this matter. and fire.
quently such crops as can be most con-
veniently produced or utilized must
take precedence over others better
adapted to the end in view.
OF the various crops more or less eX-
tensiyely cultivated for pig feed during
the past few years one which has given
extremely satisfactory results is rape.
The variety best suited for forage is
Dwarf Essex.
AS an element in the production of
their famous bacon Canadians are Civ
ing it considerable attention. In GER
tain districts it is now largely used as
a forage crop for sheep. swine and
steers, and undoubtedly still larger
areas in the future will be sown for
this purpose. One of these farmers
says:
"From a study of the habits of the
pigs pasturing on rape | should say
that the best results would be secured
by sowing the rape in rows "a to 30
inches apart at the rate of about three
pounds of seed Dwarf Essex to the
acre. When thus sown, this can be
cultivated by horsepower when young
and has tendency to branch out and
develop a large leaf crop.
at is most interesting to watch the
niceness of discrimination exercised by
your practiced rape eating pig as he
strolls leisurely down the row and Sc
Iects the juicy leaves that best please
his fancy. | have observed. too. that
your trained pig is equal to the best OF
chemists in picking out those parts OF
the plant most valuable for food. He
soon learns to shun the large or ole
leaves and feasts upon the young, the
tender, the juicy"
The cost of growing an acre of rape
including rent of land. has been est
mated at $14.17.
The cut shows plot of Dwarf ESSEX
rape at the upper Michigan station

from slight damage to leaves by cab
bage worms, the plants grew to per

The greatest portion of the plot was
cut with a moving machine at various
times between Sept. % and Nov. 5. Tx

will produce only $50 worth of butter
while one that will produce S,00C

latter will net the owner 500, if we
count the first cows calf at $40 and
