Bees on the Farm.
Editors Progressive Farmer: {:

Last year I received stacks of letters from
farmers in different portions of the State in re-
gard to the improved methods of keeping bees.
Now, wonder of these farmers still keeping
their bees in the "old way"-in box hives and hol-
low logs, cracker boxes and nail kegs? Bees can
be made to pay handsomely if cared for in the
right way, and are not worth keeping unless given
proper attention. With little money invested
in improved hives and modern fixtures, big crop
of honey may be obtained from few hives with
a reasonable amount of attention.
take one of the improved hives and produce
more honey will venture to say, than the aver
age farmer can with dozen more box-hives-
and get it out, too in shape that will command
a fancy prize. l produced on one box last year
(spring COUNT over two hundred pounds of fine
section honey. This was done, too in town. Ii
I can do this in town, with comparatively poor
field, what can the average farmer do with his
clover fields and unlimited range? What [ want
to emphasize is that bees can be made to pay,
and pay WE'LL on the farm, but the farmer will have
to get rid of his old box-hives to do it. He will
have to use improved box of some kind. Some
are better than Others of course, but the poorest
patent is better than the box-hive have been
corresponding with bee-keeper in Florida, re-

knapsake pump. In other words, the remedy is
to use lye soap at the rate of one and onehaf
pounds to four gallons of water, and applied as
a spray.
Owing to the fact that the lice are covered with
fine grayish powder, they have strong tendency
to shed water and there must be enough pressure
the pump to throw the spray with considerable
force so that the lice shall be completely wet with
the application.
The curled leaves offers another difficulty, for
they prevent the ready entrance of the spray We
found it perfectly practicable (and best) to have
a boy barefoot and with sleeves rolled up, to
protect clothing, to go along and nimbly turn the
leaves to and fro with the hands as they were be-
ing sprayed so that the treatment should reach
them more thoroughly.
We made tests of other strengths of the soap
and of kerosene emulsion all of which we're eff
fectve, but we decided upon this as being the most
desirable from it's simplicity and results We
made the first tests personally on the premises of
Mrs III. M. Sasser, near Raleigh, and later gave
full directions for similar treatment of the field
of Mr.. VIM. B. Jones, near Raleigh In each
case the treatment was fatal to all the lice that
were hit by the spray. but as stated before, care
must be taken to make the applications thorough
and two or three applications at intervals of
five days, or a week, may be necessary to secure
best results.
Of course you must have pump to do this
work. If fruit-growers and market gardeners
are not willing to provide themselves with good
efficient spraying apparatus, they must expect
to lose great deal from the attacks of insects.

and sixteen colonies of bees, twenty and one-haf
tons of honey. Of course we people up here can
not, and do not expect, to do such wonderful
things with bees, but we do better than we are
dong. With an improved box, and reasonable
and intelligent attention, average any
where from forty to sixty pounds per box. I have
some boxes ON my yard that will give me, in
about ten days, from sixty-four to eighty pounds
per box. The honey is now stored in the section
boxes, and the bees are Gaping it rapidly
possibly. With the improved box, you can take
your honey off continuously from May until FROST
The boxes that have sixty-four and eighty
pounds in them will double that quantity before
the spring and early summer flow is over, and
with good fall, another crop can be made.
I would like to say to the farmer, keep bees
but keep them in the right way; and if you won't
keep them in the right way, then don't keep them
at all.
Next week will give you some points in regard
to the management of bees, SO that big crop of
honey may be obtained

The Shiftless Farmer-Do you Know Him
ditors Progressive Farmer:


Blake johnson says he knows farmers who go
to town six days in the week and leave little boys
at home to do the work Unfortunately their
name is legion They IL almost every heigh-
borhood. Their places look like widows houses
and their wives have to pick up wood along
branches and CLEAN the fence to get fire wood to
cook their meals of Western pork and such vegeta-
bles they raise themselves. They have no
houses for the fowls which sleep in trees and
under the leaky shelter on his wagons and buggies
The wife had some chickens she had raised, but
the gate was all to pieces and the SOW got in and
ate them up. The fruit trees are never trimmed;
they have away to wood till they bring
fruit but knotty, wormy things unfit to eat
These men have time to do anything at home;
their interest seems to be centered in town. They
deeply interested in the in the Far East,
and will go to the postofce and wait for hours to
get the news, and if perchance they happen to
stay at home day, they will stop at the end
Of the row, and talk politics with whoever may
chance to along, till the signal for dinner
is given and then wait for their little boys,
even girls to come and take their horses the lot
and feed them the best thev may. The stable is
miserable pen, unfit for any animal to stay In,
and is only cleaned when manure is obliged to be
had.
Tell these men of the duties they owe to their
families and it is to them a fable. Tell them
of the great possibilities that lay before the and
it is an irridescent dream; is it any wonder that
hard times present with such? Would it
not be in any business followed the way9 Is
it any wonder that the occupation under such
management has fallen into bad repute?
Now, I don't know Blake Johnson, but he seems
to be man that has the courage of his convic-
tions l think he is right. In the interest of
humanity, such he speaks of should be
sentenced to the roads some other penal servi-
tude that they may have opportunity to reflect
their ways and think of the good women thev are
numbering. Perhaps some brother may get mad
at this, but have heard that as long get
mad at being told of their faults there is chance
for reformation. They tell us this is free coun-
try, and they have the right to do they please,
but freedom does not mean license to do wrong;
and this conduct is objectionable.

REMEDIES.

After the heads have been taken out of the cab
bages, the remnants should be destroyed so that
the lice cannot continue to live and multiply up
on them. Vast numbers of the lice are thus pro-
duced after the crop for the year has been made,
and they make provision for large crop OF lice
for the next spring. 1t is of great Importance,
then, for the cabbage grower to clean up the rem
nants as soon as the crop is gathered.
The direct remedy to be applied when the louse
is present and destructive is SIMPLE though it IS
very difficult to make the application sufficiently
thorough so as to reach them all, and two or even
three applications may be necessary at intervals
of five days or a week in order to check them eff

TALKS ON INSECT PESTS.
VH.-The Cabbage Louise.
Editors Progressive Farmer

We have previously discussed the Harlequin
cabbage bug, ard Circular No. s, of this Office
(Which can be had on application, deals with it
in detail. We will now consider the cabbage
louse cabbage aphis, which also frequently does
severe damage to cabbage, collards and related
crops.
Within the last few weeks we have had several
complaints of this cabbage louise, two of which
complaints were from Raleigh so that we
thus given opportunity to make expert
ments and observations.
The lice appear on the plants soon after they
are set out in the spring and gain nourishment
by sucking the juices from the plant through their
of the plant. The fact that they thus suck the
sap instead of eating the leaves is important, for
it at once precudes the use of poison like paris
green for the reason that it would only remain on
the surface of the leaves while the louise would
continue to suck the sap from within The lice
multiply very rapidly by giving birth to living
young (instead of laying eggs as is the case with
most insects), and soon, a result of their
attacks, the leaves begin to curl in such manner
that the lice are hidden, even though abundant.
Later the leaves wilt and the plant dies.
Nearly all of the plant-lice more apt to
be destructive during cool, damp seasons, and
the abundance of this pest this spring is doubt
due to the prolonged cool weather. When it
gets dry and hot, they apt to disappear. This
same statement holds true with regard to the cot
toulouse also
