\ Every day or two the mails bring me a number
of letters from persons, not only in this State, but
all adjoining ones, asking the question: "When
is the best time to transfer bees from box hives to
modern or patent boxes?" AS the bulk of these
inquiries come from Progressive Farmer readers,
I take this means of answering them one and all
instead of by private letters Individually. 1 will
say by way of an apology to those who have been
awaiting an answer for some time, that my time
is very limited at this season of the year, as the
management of my bees and the manufacture OF
boxes leave me but little leisure for writing.
Bees may be successfully transferred any time
from the middle of May to the end of July, but
experience has taught me that from about the
middle of June to the middle of July is the best
season. The sooner you do it after the spring
honey flow the better. Therefore, I would advise
you to transfer your bees right now, or as soon as
YOU possibly can. For by so doing you put them in
shape to store you a crop of honey this fall. Ii
you put it off until late in the fall, your bees may

The emulsion is not a poison and does not kill

The emulsion is not a poison and does not kill
the insects by being eaten, like Paris green. 1t
is only fatal to those insects that are wetted by
the application, so that great thoroughness is
needed in making the application, so that every
Individual will be touched. On the other hand,
only enough must be applied to thoroughly wet
the insects, and the emulsion must not run down
the plant and in at the roots. That is why a
regular spray pump is so necessary, in order to
make the application so thoroughly as to reach
all the insects without an excess, which would
hurt the plants.
Some of the more common troublesome insects
for which the kerosene emulsion may be used are:
Cottonlouse.-Spray with Is per cent emulsion
as soon as they appear and before they get scat
tered throughout the field.
Rose-louse.-Spray with Is per cent emulsion
when they appear. ,
Cabbage-louse.-Same, before leaves get curled.
Green Apple-louse.-Same as cabbage-louse.
Woolly Aphis of Apple-Use Is per cent, or
IS per cent in winter.
Black Aphis of Peach and P~lum.-Spray with
Is per cent before leaves get curled.
Pea-louse, or Aphis.-Use emulsion at 10 or Is
per cent, or tobacco dust. We have not yet fully
settled this question.
San Jose ~Scale.-Spray with Is per cent emul-
sion if treatment is to be given while trees are
in leaf. But do not treat when in bloom, or until
after the fruit is well set after blooming. The
best remedy for this pest is to use lime-sulphur-
salt wash in winter.
Oyster-shell ~Scale.-Spray with 90 per cent
emulsion when the young begin to crawl (about
May /, in most years..
Scurfy Scale.-Same as oyster-shell scale.
Any person desiring further information re-
garding the preparation and use of this wash
should write to the author for chronological Cir

Kerosene Emulsion" which will be sent free upon
application.

Live Stock Association Issues It's Seventh
Annual Report.

The seventh annual report of the National Live
Stock Association has been received, and it is ali
extremely interesting volume.
Through this great organization the live stock
industry is able to have it's various interests care
fully looked after, and that the officers are vigilant
and alert is evidenced by the report of the years
work. Every interest affecting the industry
sanitary matters, forest reserves, public grazing
lands, irrigation, the packing house combine, rail
road freight rates, anti-shoddy legislation, federal
census of live stock, interstate commerce. matters,
ets,-have been given attention, many evils that
threatened the business have been corrected and
other matters are in a fair way of being adj
justed.
The full report of the proceedings of the Sew
enth Annual Convention held at Portland, Ore,
January II to Is, last, shows that gathering to
have been an extremely interesting one, and much
more largely attended than had been expected,
considering the distance many of the delegates
were compelled to travel. Many notable speakers
were in attendance, as, for instances: Hon. +. IL.
Newell and Hon. Clifford Pinchot, of Washington,
d. c., representing President Roosevelt; Chan
cellor Andrews, of the University of Nebraska;
Hon. B. B. Brooks, of Wyoming; Hon. Heber M.
Wells, Governor of Utah; Hon. j. R. Anderson,
deputy minister of agriculture for British Column
bia; Eben P. Low, of Hawaii; Charles Wright,
I'd, of New Hampshire; DIR. J. E. Stubs, of the
University of Nevada; John W.. Fulton, of Mon
tana; Hon. W.. W.. Cotton and Hon. B. I. Cohen,
of Oregon. The subjects were varied and the dis
cussions extensive, showing the stockmen of this
country to be debaters of no mean order and
fully versed on their needs, local and national.
The National Live Stock Association is making
history, and these annual volumes are a valuable
addition to the library of any student of American
institutions, but especially to that of the stock
men.
The report is distributed free to the members
of the Association, and a limited number can be
obtained by others interested, by renting Is
cents to G. F.. Martin, Secretary, Denver Colo.

What has been called the "ginseng craze" has
been so prevalent among farmers in many dis
tricts of the United States that the Department
Of Agriculture has considered it expedient to
sound a note of warning. Previous to 1902 China
;mnorted from this country only one hundred and
seventy-two thousand pounds of ginseng in four
vearsAa quantity which could be raised on a
single farm of seventy-fve acres. "Let ginseng
alone. Tt is a delusion and a snare" is Secretary

To The Public!

On account of climatic conditions, our Mr..
A. S. Mccoy is advised by his physicians that it
is imperative for him to remain in the arid re-
gions where he now is for at least two years.
Under these conditions he will not be in position
to give his business personal supervision and
deemed it advisable to sell his entire stock OF
merchandise at the place of business run tor
years under the firm name of Mccoy Bros, Our
most sincere thanks is due our friends and the
public generally for their more than liberal pat
ronage which has made our business such de-
cided success and second to none,
We've just sold the business and good will
to Charles E.. Schupbach, the we'll known and
successful groceryman, fact which gives the
public assurance that the same broad principles,
liberal treatment and strict business integrity
will be continued in the future as in the past.
Again thanking you as unit for the many
favOrs shown us, we remain,
Sincerely yours,
Mccoy BROS.
