Bee Ranch in Heart of City.

There is a bee ranch with more
than a million bees in the heart of
one of the densest residence districts
of San Francisco. 1t is owned by
Philip Prior. principal of a public
school, and is the little backyard of
his home. For ten years he has kept
his bees there, has harvested about
third of a ton of honey each season
and has been at no expense for food
for his interesting and Industrious
pets.
Although it is distance of two and
one half miles from the Prior bee
ranch to Golden Gate Park, the Prior
bees make the trip there, collect
loads of honey and get back to the
hive in two minutes, making a bullet
like flight at the surprising rate of
$50 miles an hour.
Mr.. Prior has demonstrated this by
having an observer watching certain
bee favored places in the park, and
exactly timing the arrival there of
bees he purposely sprinkled with flour
as they issued from a hive. He has
also kept time On the absence of the
whitened bees.-From the Chicago
News.

WINTERING HOGS ON ALFALFA

doubtful, but said he would try 1t.
When next I saw him I asked him II

SUGAR FOR HORSE FEEp.

An English live stock paper says
that horse feeders in that country
have long recognized sugar as valu-
able adjunct in horse feeding, and con-
tinues: For horses, as for other ami
mails, this substance has been found
to produce very satisfactory results. A
striking illustration of this is aft l.
ed by the case reported from the Ar
gentine of some horses that, owing
to the imperfect roads and severe
transport work, became exhausted and
fell ready victims to disease. Sugar
was added to the food of these ami
mails, and the effects thereof were
quite surprising, as it is stated that
not only was fatigue overcome by the
Inclusion of small quantity of sugar
n the daily ration, but that several
animals that had become quite useless
'egained strength and capacity for the
work.

PRESERVED MEAT BY STEAM.
An Australian Method Which Is En-.
ployed on Steamships.

Keeping meats sweet and pure in
a refrigerator by means of steam
sounds bit queer, doesn't it?' l was
asked by George l.. Cameron, superin-
tendent of a meat packing establish
ment, who continued in explanation
without awaiting my answer: "Yet
that is a method now in vogue on the
big steamers which carry meats from
this country and from Australia to
Europe. Meat placed in refrigerators
where the atmosphere is kept contin.
ualIy at an average temperature Of
from SO to 40 degrees will remain
fresh, but entirely untainted, for an
indefinite period.
81 think the Australians solved the
problem first. They worried over the
matter for a long, long time, and
adopted expedient after expedient,
tried experiment after experiment, but
all without avail, until some one
thought of using steam to volatilize
the gases which caused these annoy
ing conditions and draw them off. A
steam pipe was placed in a wooden
duct at the bottom of a refrigerator
chamber stored with meat; the gases
of this kind are low lying, and the
duct led directly to the brine tanks.
This experiment occurred at Sydney,
and for eighty-nine days the refriger-
ator compartment was kept closed, at
the end of which time it was opened,
the meat drawn forth and every piece
thoroughly tested. 1t was as fresh
and pure, without the slightest sug-
gestion of bone odor or mold, as on
the day it was packed. The gases had
been volatilized by the steam, carried
off by the wooden duct and the entire
noxious condition purified by the
brine tanks. With this aid to the
refrigeration process, provided care be
taken that the temperature never falls
below freezing point, save occasional
ly, so that the meat will not become
frozen, meat may now be kept for
years, and be perfectly fresh when
taken forth for consumption. st.

PRoPAGATING ROSES.

1t is difficult for some to succeed
in propagating roses. One metnoa
which has been recomme nded is as
follows: Good cuttings of roses are
placed in bottle containing water
and the bottle is then suspended on
the sunny side of a wall and there
left, more water being supplied as
fast as that in the bottle evaporates.
The water becomes warm in the sun
shine, and in short time the cuttings
form each callous, and in less time,
and with more certainty, it is claim
ed, than in the soil. They are then
planted in pots in the ordinary way.
Some good hybrid perpetnals have
been raised on their own roots in that
manner. The experiment is easily
tried and costs little or nothing.

TRAP NETS

Unquestionably blood meal is one of
the best preventives of scours in
calves, and as it is also a food it can
be fed to advantage, as suggested in
this department some time back 1t
should, however, be fed carefully in
order to obtain the best results, and
from several years of experience
with it we think the following plan
about right. Take the calf when ten
days old and add some skim milk to
that which the calf gets from the COW
and about one-quarter of teaspoonful
of blood meal to each feed mixed in
the milk. When the calf is a month
old it should have skim milk entirely,
from two and one-haif to three quarts
at a feed with one-half teaspoonful of
blood meal in each feed.
This quantity can be gradually in
creased until the calf is having two
heaping teaspoonfuls of blood meal di-
vidsd into two meals per day, using al
ways in the skim milk. Blood meal is
one of the things that should be care
fully fed and after all the best way
way to feed it is to do so in accord
ance with the needs of the individual
salves and in accordance with the eff
feet on each. taking the quantities
aamed above as a guide. 1t must be

POULTRY NOTES.

fOULIh1 NOIES.
Clean out the nests and whitewash
thoroughly.
1t is better to darken the place Sc
lected for the nests.
AS a rule hens learn to eat eggs
by having them broken in tie nest.
Stale bread soaked in milk makes
good feed for newly Matched chickens.
Fowls will eat large amount of
clover, whether fed green or dried as
hay
Fowls that fatten easily should have
plenty of exercise, unless being fed
for market.
Once chickens are stunted they new
er regain their vigor, even with the
most careful feeding.
A mixture of two parts lard and one
part kerosene oil will remove the scab
by formation on the legs.
Charred corn on cobs is a good way
to feed charcoal to fowls, and moth
ing is better for bowel troubles.
Make the hens scratch for living
but put grain where scratching will
get it, or the hens will not thrive.
On farm good facilities good man.
agement and good markets are more
valuable than the breed of fowls.
When confined give the hens leaves,
cut straw or dry dirt and scatter grain
in it. so as to compel them to work.
If the most prolific hens are retain.
ed and the worthless ones marketed a
great improvement would soon result.
The profit in raising turkeys comes
from their ability to pick up living
for themselves good part of the time.
Unslaked lime, coal ashes or dry
dirt are good materials to scatter over
the floor and under the roosts after a
good cleaning up.
Boiled potatoes mixed with wheat
bran make an excellent mash for
fowls. Season with salt and pepper
1t is especially good when fattening.
The first attribute to success in egg
production is healthy stock. No
amount of food will give continued
supply of eggs if the hens are not
healthy.
Whole wheat is an excellent food for
hens, but if kept constantly before
them to eat all they will it will make
them too fat TO lay we'll But if fed in
connection with other grains it will
aid materially in egg production.
Among thoroughbred poultry there
is little difference so far as their eco
nomical points are concerned, but on
the farm solid, strong and coarse
breed is best; one that is self-reliant
and able where given free range to
take care of itself largely and pick
up good share of it's living, that will
lay well and produce marketable flesh
when dressed or alive.
Turkeys intended to be marketed
early should be fed regularly now in
order to secure the best weight and
condition when sold. A good feed OF
corn at night and of oats, wheat or
sorghum seed early in the morning
before they start out to the fields will
aid materially in fastening this

Conditions at Port Arthur.

Chez Foo, June IA Chinese
formerly employed in the machine
shops at Port Arthur, who arrived here
today, says that only five OF the nine
largest Russian ships at Port Arthur
are capable of going to sea, and that
steam is kept up on but three Of tue
sound vessels. All the guns from the
damaged ships have been removed to the
forts and the sailors from these ships
have gore to the front with the troops.
The Russian warships, which were
formerly painted black, are now painted
gray, as ara the vessles of the japanese
fleet. Russian torpedo boats leave the
harbor occasionally for half an hour,
but the larger warships cannot get
through the entrance.
The Russians are refusing permission
to skilled workmeu to leave Port Arthur
but many are escaping, Little WORK is
being done in the machine shops because
OF the confusion among the workmen
each time firing is heard. One shell
recently wrecked a machine shop
building, but did no damage to the
machinery, Another shell wrecked the
offices in the dock yards.
Three hundred ann fifty mines have
been laid in the roadstead and many
others have been laid around the shops
in the naval basin. Some of the latter
we're exploded last week by lightning,
but no damage was done.
The Chinese who have come out of
Port Arthur complain of the treatment
accorded them by the Russian soldiers,
saying they were maltreated il they did
not supply the soldiers with money and
liquor. Villagers in the vicinity of
Port Arthur are compelled to supply the
soldiers with rice and Russian horses
