A T FOR THE BEES.
Will See That II Is Always
Within Their Reach.

1t seems a little out of season to
talk about watering your bees, if, as
in a good many localities, they are
snugly housed in the cellar at the
present moment. However, it is well
to anticipate their wants. Indeed,
there may not be any anticipation in
the case where the bees are wintered
out of doors. Just as soon as there
comes a day warm enough for them
to fly, one of the first things they
will do is to start in search of water,
says a writer in the Bee Journal.
Bees are hard drinkers, and it is a
matter of some importance that they
have easy access to plenty of pure
water without being obliged to fly
some distance to secure it. Especial
ly is this true in teh early spring,
when cold winds and sudden changes
in temperature work such havoc with
our bees. Water they must have,
and if they do not have it supplied
near home they must seek it else
where. More bees are lost in spring
by flying some distance, becoming
chilled, and never getting back to
their hive, than some ~bee-keepers are
aware of. We don't want anything
that will induce them to take long
flights, much less anything that will
oblige them to. Bees are largely
creatures of habit, and when once
they have established a drinking
place it is not so easy to change
them from it. And one of their IA
vorite selections is the watering
tank, causing much annoyance to
stock, and to the people taking care
of u stock as well. 1t is also q
great nuisance to have them around
the well ior cistern pump. Especially
is this the case if there are small
children in the family.
All this bother may be avoided ii
we select their drinking place fol
them, and get them started in the
right place before they have learned
to GO anywhere else. This is not diff
cult to do. A large jar filled with
water, with a number of pieces of
wood put into it, for the bees to
alight upon (if they are somewhat
rotten all the better), is all that is
needed to make a good watering
place. If this jar is kept supplied
with water, after the bees once get
started there will be no more
trouble about their %bothering you
anywhere else. 1t is a good plan to
put a little salt into it once in awhile.
Then it will not be a breeding place
for mosquitoes, and the bees seem
to like it better when it is a little
salty.-Bee Journal.

AS a man grows tired of the same
food day after day, SO does a horse.
He appreciates a change of diet, and
is in every way better for having it.
When horses are on grass, their di.
gestive organs are kept in order, and
nothing beyond n feed of rats a
day is required, but in the winter,
when they are confined so large a
part of the time, they should have
warm mashes once a day, with a
quart OF so of chopped carrots
mixed therein twice a week. In Sc.
we're weather the water for all stock
should have the chill taken off it.

Be sure and give the pigs plenty
of exercise, and as soon as possible
the little pigs should be taught to
eat. By providing a little pen where
in they can get cracked corn and
sweet milk, they will soon be able
to get away with lots of feed and
will transform it into bone and flesh,
thereby decreasing the drain on the

Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents

Peruna is called a tonic. Peruna does

Notice Worth Heedinq.

DR.. Reynolds, the commissioner OF
Health for Chicago, is sending out the
following notice, which is being
posted at all stations at which milk
for Chicago Is being shipped: MILK
cans must be clean inside and out.
No matter how clean a can looks, be-
fore using it should be washed with
soap suds, rinsed with clean water
and then scalded. Milk shipped in
dirty cans is liable to confiscation."
The notice is not meant to merely
scare people into being clean. 1t has
already been backed up by acts, and
in number of cases milk arriving at
the Chicago depots has been seized
and poured into the sewers. This
should be the fate of all dirty milk.
Just as long as the consumers will
buy and use dirty milk there are men
that will make milk in an uncleanly
manner and deliver &c in dirty cans.
man that will use dirty can IN the
delivery of milk is altogether likely
to be careless in its production, while
the man that is scrupulously clean
about the delivery of milk is very
likely to be equally clean in his
methods Of production. The Chicago
officer that pours can OF dirty milk
into the gutter is doing service to
the consumer and to the clearly pro-
Queer Of milk in the country.

Kerosene on Pools.

The inhabitants of some parts of
rural New Jersey heard that the best
way to get rid of mosquitoes was to
put kerosene on all the pools and
ponds. Some of them were so jealous
in the movement that they kerosened
the ponds in the cow pastures. One
cow feeding in such a pasture died
in great agony and post-mortem ex-
animation was held over her. Her
stomach revealed the cause of her
death, which was kerosene. The farm
er examined his pasture and found
the water covered with the deadly OIL
The other cows were taken from the
pasture before they had time to drink
Of the water. This should act as a
caution to the people engaged in the
laudable work Of mosquito destruc-
ton. Water that animals are likely
to drink should never lie made the
subject of this treatment. We think
the farmers living near towns and viii
lagos will have to be more and more
on the lookout for this treatment of
their pastures, especially If the said
pastures happen to have in them
stagnant pools Of water.

RancldltY in Butter.


II butter-fat is sealed up and kept
In a cold dark place it will retain its
normal character and appearance for
many months, but If it is kept in q
warm place and exposed TO light and
air it win quickly undergo chemical
and physical changes and become
rancid. Ransidity is developed by
oxidation, by which means it loses its
customary appearance and smell.
The acidity does not greatly increase
as is shown by analysis. There is a
difference between whole butter and
pure butter fat in their becoming
rancid. The rancidity of the former
is caused largely by bacteria working
on the casein, lactose and other in.
But in the case of pure butter fat
there is no bacterial development for
the reason that this substance will
not sustain bacterial life. Two Euro
pean experimenters-Ducl and Rit-
sert-have proven that bacteria can
not thrive in medium of pure fat,
and that all changes taking place in
fats are due to oxidation. Air, light
and warmth are therefore the great
factors in producing the rancidity of
pure butter-fat. When pure butter-fat
begins 10 get rancid it begins to
change color, getting lighter. This
action begins on the surface and
spreads downward very gradually till
the whole lump is bleached. With
this change comes lardy smell and
taste. The taste at first acid becomes
burning and pungent. After several
months of such exposure the butter
fat changes into semi-solid pasty
mass

A Loss to Dairying.

We are sorry to learn that Professor
D. H. Otis of the Kansas Agricultural
College has resigned his position
there to accept a better-paying one
as manager of a ranch at Oswego,
Kansas. His salary there is to be
81, 400 per annum, with free house
rent and several other things thrown
in. A few of our colleges are paying
exceedingly low salaries and are I'M

self of value. A number of our col
leges are paying fair salaries and are
holding their expert agriculturists,
but others do not seem to realize the
value of live man like Professor
Otis. During the last two years we
have seen quite a number of men
leave their positions with colleges and
go into commercial life, because in
their former positions they could not
make living. We are not suggest
ing that high salaries be paid, but
that fair salaries be the order of the
day in our agricultural colleges and
experiment stations. We cannot af-
ford to lose men like Professor Otis.
We doubt if this gentleman is permit
ted to remain very long on the ranch.
