CLEVER LADS EXPERIENCE.

Meat for the Laying Hens.

Meat is expensive when eggs are low,
but nevertheless gives profit, though
small. In winter, however, it is cheap
feeding, considering its value as an egg
producer. We can point to a breeder
who states that during one winter
when eggs were scarce and sold for so
cents a dozen, he bought meat at 20
cents a pound, fed an ounce daily to
each hen and it paid him well, as b.
secured plenty of eggs, while his neigh
bors were not getting any.-Commer-

When the Bees Are Moved.

We have had satisfactory results in
moving bees about a quarter OF mile.
The hive was closed with wire cloth,
before sunrise, at the same time giving
smoke and good shaking; then moved
to new quarters, on the way striking
tho hive occasionally with stick SO as
to friehten them thoroughly and cause
them to fill themselves with honey and
finally bumped, them down on new
sta md. Very few bees returned to the
old stand. This idea was taken from
an old number of the Australian Bee
Bulletin.
