HOW 10 CLIP THE WINGS.

on a run, and then you may as well
give up the job, if you do not wish
to run the risk of manning her. At
another time, when she stands in the
center, several bees caressing her,
make one grasp for the wings with
the right hand, just between the alb
domen and the thoraX. Dc not be
afraid of crushing the wings; but be
careful to avoid pinching or punch
ing the queen on the comb, and espe-
cially squeezing her soft abdomen.
If you catch her right, she will be
as shown in Fig. 1. She will bend
the abdomen over, and reach with
her hind legs around behind in the
effort. just as shown, to push the fin
gers away. With the left hand,
catch hold of her between the thumb
and fore finger in such a way that
the finger will be on top and the
thumb beneath. (See Fig 81 If you
grab her by the waist you need not
be afraid of hurting her, for this pos
ton of her anatomy will stand con-
siderable pressure without injury.
With the right hand take pair of
scissors and clip one wing at about
the point shown in the illustration
Gig. 81; but do not clip both wings
as there shown. In putting the
queen back on the comb, be very
careful not to let her drop. Let her
down gently on the comb. or raise
the forefinger and let her crawl from
the thumb on to the comb
/ have seen some veterans who pre-
ferred to grab hold of the queen as
shown in Fig. g She is first picked
up as shown in I, then she is caught
by the legs as shown in 2. While a
veteran can hold a queen in this way,
the average beginner would be liable
to squeeze too hard and pull her legs
off; then if you grab one leg only,
the queen will revolve round and
round till she twists it off, and in all
probability take wing. The plan
shown in / and is the safer to en-
ploy.
There will be times when one does
not have handy a pair of scissors.
Very well; he is to pick the queen up
as shown in /; then hold her with
the left hand, as illstrated in 8.
Now with the knife in the right
hand, place one of the queens wings
on the corner of hive body or hive
cover in such a way that the knife
blade will cut through into the wood,
severing the wing. l do not know
but I would about as soon have a
common knife, if it is sharp, as scis-
sors.-Gleaning in Bee Culture.

OATS FOR CHICKENS.
One of the Most Valuable Feeds for
Farm Poultry of All Kinds,
Ages and Conditions.

I consider oats one of the best
feeds we have for poultry of all kinds
and ages. | buy oat screenings of the
oat meal mills and moisten it with
milk for my small chicks and nothing
could make them grow faster or de-
velop into better fowls. If farmers
would only try this feed in place of
the corn meal that they use they
would soon learn that it is not only
cheaper. but that it is much better
for the chicks. When they get lit
tie older I pour boiling water OF
whole oats and when cold feed this
to the chicks. l always feed oats
mixed~with corn and wheat to my
adult fowls and could not do with.
out them. For this purpose the
heavy white oats are the best. When
feeding whole oats to either fowls
or chicks one must keep plenty OF
grit before them in order to avoid
crop troubles. If farmers would ge!
away from the corr they feed their
fowls and give more Of a variety, in
Guiding oats and wheat, they would
increase their egg yiei1 and have
healthier and better chickens. Simply
because they do not raise anything
but corn is no excuse for feeding it,
they feed and invest in few bushel,
of wheat with profit to themselves

DUCKS NEED WATCHING.
Must Be Taught Early Where They
Belong or Serious Loss In
Sure to Result.

The young ducks must be trained
to know where home is by regular
feeding and looking after. The UNI
principled fowls enjoy eating corn
with your neighbours hogs. but the
neighbor does not care about feed
ing flock of growing ducks that do
not belong to him.
Besides, it is dangerous for the
ducks to be fooling around where
hogs are. An old mother hog soon
develops quite a fondness for duck
meat after once getting a taste. The
ducks are not active enough to get
away from the porkers, and they will
soon consume every duck within
reach. We have known them to run
down grown ducks.
1t is much easier to manage ducks
than chickens when rain is coming
up. The ducks may be driven and
the chicks must be coaxed. The
chicks will scatter in all directions
when one attempts to drive them.
while the ducks seem to have lead
er and the gang stays together.
1t will soon be time to begin pick
ing the old ducks if you have decided
you want feathers instead of eggs
They won't produce both. They won't
lay very many eggs anyway when
very warm weather comes, so that
likely it will pay better to save the
feathers. If one has no use for them
at home, there is always a ready sale
for them, often right in ones own
locality. There are so many people
who cling to feather beds, even if
they are out of date; and there are
many who would rather buy feathers
than to bother with flock Of ducks
or geese. The strong smell that new
feathers have will leave them if they
are thoroughly aired for few days
before using them for beds or pill
lows.-Farm Journal

POULTRY PARAGRAPHS.

Light. nutritious and easily digest
ed food is what fowls in confinement
need.
The man who is too mean to pro-
vide comfortable coop for the hen
and brood doesn't deserve success.
Feed little chicks on a clean board
which should be often cleansed and
dried in the sun or by artificial heat.
If eggs become rotten it is absolute
proof that they were fortified, that
the germ of life started and then
died.
Brooder chicks never have games
which proves that filth gathered
from the yards is the cause of ths
trouble.
The more nearly the roosting house
comes to being actually clean, the
less will be the liability to disease
among the chickens.
Geese are natural grass eaters and
will do very we'll in good pasture.

Making Use of wheat Chaf.

Wheat chaff is not only an excellent
absorbent. but it renders the floor
warm and comfortable. 1t is but a
small matter to clean off a floor that
has been covered with half an inch of
chaff, as it brings with it all the drop
pings. and leaves the floor smooth and
clean. 1t is better than dirt in one re-
spect. for it serves as kind of litter
il. which the hens will work and scratch
if a few grains are thrown over the
chaff, and this is what you should aim
for. Do not allow the drinking water
to wet the chaff, however, but keep the
material dry, and there will be less liza
bility of roup and colds.-Farm and

PIucking Ducks and Geese.

The best time to pluck ducks and
geese is when they begin to drop their
feathers. 1t is better to pluck them
than to have their feathers scattered
in every direction, but the practice of
plucking them every time the feathers
are renewed is not always economical.
1t takes vitality and varied assort-
ment of food to reproduce feathers,
and as this is drain on the system
the females will not lay. You can
not always have the feathers and
eggs. One or the other must be
acrificed.-Farm and Fireside.
