BEES USEFUL TO FARMERS
Their Distribution of Pollen Makes
of Them Important Aids
in Agriculture.

In proportion to the population,
the number of persons who keep
bees is very small, yet there is no
branch of farming for it should
be connected with farming) more
profitable at certain seasons than
the keeping of bees. \ good,
strong colony in the midst of the
busy season, says the Rochester
Herald, will collect and store four
or five pounds or more of honey
daily, the amount of work done by
the bees depending upon the for
age and the strength of the colony.
As soon as colony becomes weak
and incapable of defense ii will be
attacked by the stronger ones and
robbed. Hence, in order to keep
each hive up to its fullest capacity
the beekeeper must provide plenty
of comb foundation, in order to
lessen the work 10 be performed,
and SOW such crops as will afford
honey later in the season, when
the flowers have finished blossom
ing.
The. swarming process is moth
ing more than the departure of the
old queen and her working bees
in order to abandon the hive to
the younger queen and bees. By
being on the alert, and living the
swarms as they alight, the mum
Der of colonies may be largely in,
creased, but the weak colonies sci,
dom swarm. Moths usually at
tack the weak colonies, and only
the stronger colonies are able to
pass safely through the winter.
The common bees may be gradual
dy replaced with the Italian or
Cyprian varieties by removing the
old queen and substituting a new
fortified queen of either Kind pre-
ferred. If she is carefully guarded
in small cage for a few days the
bees soon recognize her, and in the
course of a few months the OLD
bees will all be dead, and the new
ones will be of the desired kind.
The queen is compelled to lay
numbers of eggs daily in order to
supply the great loss constantly
occurring by the destruction from
birds, storms and other Difficult
ties. They should be left plenty of
honey for winter supply, and the
hives should be well protected
from storms. What the beekeeper
should aim to do is to SOW such
crops as will enable the bees to lay
in a large supply of honey, and he
can we'll afford to do so if he has
number Of hives. At this season
the bees find plenty TO do in work
ing on the flowers, but later the
crop of bucbwheat affords ample
forage while 1t is IN blossom. En-
terprising beekeepers combine
beekeeping and poultry raising,
finding thata small piece of ground
may in that manner return large
profits. How to manage bees we'll
cannot be explained in a single
article. All who are interested
should first make themselves ia
miliar with the details before be
ginning by consulting authorities
on the subject. That beekeepine
is a profitable occupation, how
ever, has been demonstrated salts
factorily to all engaged.

CONDITIONS IN OKLAHOMA
Some Things Seen and Heard by Rev
J. 1. Martin on the Plains
of Oklahoma.
Written For The Journal.


| boarded the train at Chuckaho
November Goth, and a run of
twenty miles brought me to Cush-
ing, in Payne county, north of
Chuckaho. Though it is a new
road it is in good condition. We
ran through some good country
mostly branch bottoms and prairie
There are two new towns on this
run, Kindrick and Avery. They
are growing fast.
Crops, as | could see from the
car window, are good. There is
lots of prairie hay raised here. |
saw good deal in ricks; some bale
their hay. / also saw good many
cattle and they looked well.
Around Gushing is a wheat
country, to a large extent. | saw
many fields of it, but heard some
complaint of a fly injuring it, and
some cotton was cut short by the
boil weeyiI, but cotton is fine
where they did not strike it. They
are now paying from IS cents to
81 per hundred for cotton pick
ing.
There is but little fall blowing
done only for wheat. Gushing is
a nice town and growing rapidly.
They have two railroads and two
separate depots.
The business portion of the town
Is divided into two parts, known
as the old and the new con-
sequently there is some rivalry,
which binders its growth. 1t
stands out on the prairie and can
be seen for miles. \ large per
cent of the business houses are
built Of stone. They have two
banks, and Il good business is done
here. | consider it an inviting
field.
A drive of five miles brought
me to Frank Hartman but sorry
he was not at home. He is one of
the best farmers, and has a nice
family, After supper his son
caught bis team and ne and his
sister drove me 10 Mrs. q. y.
Harman's, Mrs. Martins sister.
Her husband died last May. 1t
was getting late in the night and
my coming was a perfect surprise.
She has three children with her,
two sons and daughter. Next
day, November q, we visited her
son, William. He is running a
nursery and is doing a big bust
ness. This is delivery time and
they were very busy. l was glad
to find them doing so we'll.
The Seneron river, which flows
nearby, is a peculiar stream. 1t
is salt water and contains quick
sand. 1t is broad and shallow,
with very low banks, and changes
its course often. This makes it
scary.
November the 22d, | visited an
other one Of her children, Mrs.
Emma Morgan, whose husband is
a good farmer and doing well. lie
has recently bought a coed farm
which cost him 900. They have
three children. After a most
pleasant visit, other engagements
called me away, 50 bid them
goodbye November 23d.
Will say more about Oklahoma
in my next. J. |. MARTIN.

Perfect Autumn Condition.

Every veteran fruit grower knows
that to have tree in perfect condi-
tion-say, for instance, an apple or a
pear or even peach tree-it should
discontinue its growth at, say, along in
September, but after that. if it ripens
up it's wood and holds its foliage until
the frost takes it off it is a sure sign
that the tree is fully developed and all
its requirements fulfilled. IT it sheds
its leaf early in August or September.
there is some weakness or a fungus is
attacking the leaf. Charles Black.

MELON TROUBLES.
Controlling Lice and BIight-Fumi-
CATION and Spraying.

Controlling Lice and BIight-Fumi-
CATION and Spraying.
We have been successful in fuInigat-
ing the melon louise with carbon bisul-
phide. This is tedious and expensive.
but entirely practical if done in time.
The most serious problem just at pres
ent with us, or rather the newest and
that of the various forms of fungi at
lacking the majority of our leading
crops. In this line come the melon,
potato and tomato blight and hosts Of
others.
The tomato is successfully controlled
ing with bordeaux mixture. In the
melon the disease is also susceptible to
bordeaux. But the mechanical ques-
ton of application is the one present
ing the greatest difficulties. The GU
curbita. growing all over the ground
and covering them as they do, make it
almost impossible to apply the mix
ture. Only one way presents itself
That is to follow the example of the
Long Island pickle men and sacrifice a
row every twenty five or thirty feet for
a roadway and then spray from both
sides Following this up during the
season, believe the blight on our can
taloupes can be checked and that they
will once again fill their former place
among our more important crops.
We begin to pick cantaloupes about
the middle of August, and for two or
three years we have always got good
money out of them. Last year we did
not. The crop was little late and we
did not get anything. 1t is practical
early in the season to kill lice on canta-
loupes, If you see a hill with lice on it
simply take an old metal pan, roll your
vine up a little if it is necessary, put
the pan over it and put the proper
amount of carbon sulphide under it.
To hold the fumes down you will find
it better to throw little hay on top
of the pan. enough to stop them from
burning, and you had better not do it
around noon, but do it in the morning
or after the sun has gone down. Where
you find one hill affected look for an
other hill or two in the vicinity and
check the lice If these are not quick
ly cured in two or three days you find
the lice so widely spread it is impossi-
bic to do anything. ]. Barton, New
Jersey.

The United States department of ag-
riculture in a recent circular on the
cure of milk fever gives a complete de-
scription of the remarkable results OBJ
lined in the treatment of this hereto
fore extremely fatal malady by the in
lection of filtered air into the udder,
says American Cultivator.
Milk fever affects well nourished,
heavy milking cows in all the large
dairy districts of this country and is
characterized by the complete paralysis
Of the animal shortly after caIying. AS
1t attacks the best milking cows in the
herd, and at a time when the milk
flow is heaviest, the disease is one
which has caused very severe losses
in our dairy industry. 1t is therefore
Of the greatest Importance that every
milk producer acQuaint himself with
the present extremely successful treat
ment and provide him # with a
suitable apparatus for injecting ster-
lie air through each teat until the
udder is well distended This air
treatment is by far the most simple
and practicable as well as the most
efficacious and harmless one ever used
and has reduced the mortality from
the disease to almost nothing. 1t is
easy of manipulation, requires but lit
tie time and is readily accomplished
by means Of the apparatus suggested
by the department.
Up to within recent times most
stringent measures were resorted to
by every careful dairyman to prevent
the disease in his herd. However.
since the air treatment has so greatly
reduced and even in some cases OBJ
liberated the mortality, prevention is
no longer such an important problem,
and therefore preventive measures,
such as starvation, bloodletting, etc,
which have severe and lasting effect
upon the animals, should be abandon
ed.

EXERCISES FOR HEALTH.
A Little shaIir Up Before Break
fast Is a Good Thing.


For almost every person under fifty,
and for great many people over fifty,
exercise is the nearest approach to
panacea for bodily ills that has yet
been devised Causing the body to
move and stretch and push and pull
makes the blood circulate, the liver do
its work and the nerves pick up their
dropped stitches. An excellent time to
exercise is before breakfast. Neither
man nor beast, as a rule. goes to sleep
hungry. During sleep there is little
waste of energy. On waking there is
no immediate demand for replenish-
ment of lost tissues Furthermore the
long sleep has left the nerves and the
digestive apparatus dull and leadened.
To sit down to heavy breakfast with
in fifteen or twenty minutes after get
ting out Of bed means that the stomach
receives food which it does not need
and will not readily digest.
A little shaking up before breakfast
arouses the vitality and consequently
makes the appetite and digestion better.
That means better work done during
the day. If man can get away from
work in time to take additional exer-
else during the afternoon he will have
a better appetite for the evening meal
and more power to digest it. That will
mean better sleep at night Many
man has succeeded in the world with
out paying any attention to his body
Joseph Chamberlain. for instance But
such men would probably have sue
ceeded more easily and certainly with
more pleasure to themselves if they
had taken care of their bodies. A
strong mind is certainly stronger and
more enduring in a healthy body than
in sickly one. TIE best way to keep
the body healthy is to use it.-Chicago

Temper.

A great source of cruelty is temper.
When it is considered what vast sum
Of misery temper causes in the world,
how many homes are darkened and
how many hearts are saddened by it;
when we remember that its persecu-
lions have not even the purifying con-
sequences of most other calamities, in
asmuch as its effects upon its innocent
victims are rather cankerous than me-
dicinal; when we call to mind that a
bright face and a bright disposition
gloomy, lowering countenance as de-
pressing as an Arctic night we must
acknowledge that temper itself is only
another form of cruelty, and very bad
form too

Treat the Cow Gently.

"Not giving down" milk is the result
of lack of nervous tone in the glands
brought about by excitement The
udder is not container in which milk
is stored up at milking time, but an
organ in which the greater part of the
milk is elaborated while milking or
sucking is in progress by virtue Of
the agitation it produces. Unless the
COW is in perfect repose this secretion
will not take place normally. The les
son to be derived from this point is
that the COW should be treated with
the greatest gentleness and be other
wise free from excitement, especially
during milking or sucking time

with his friend, George Yenowine,
when the latter halted in front of a
bookshop and said: "Gene, the pro-
prietor of this place is the most serious

joke in his life. Wouldn't it be a good
chance to try again for that expurgated

entered, asked for the proprietor, and
then made the usual request. That is
a rather scarce book" came the reply.
Are you prepared to pay fair price
for it?' For just a second Field was
taken aback Then he said, Certainly,
