LOSS IN CROSS BREEDING.
Poultrymen Who Want to Mako
Money Should Stick to the
Standard Varieties,

By cross breeding We mean the mat
ing Of two distinct breeds with the OBJ
ject of producing something better
than the breeder can find in the es-
tablished breeds. We will at the out
set say that we do not advise any
farmer to do this if he is looking for
profit from the results. If man
wishes to play with nature to see
what the result will be, there can be
no objection to his cross breeding.
The man that cross breeds with the
idea of establishing a new and popu-
lar breed is almost certain to be dis
appointed. It is altogether unlikely
that he will be able to produce any,
thing superior to the breeds now ex-
listing. If he did it would be about i'm
possible to make anyone else think so
and it would cost good deal of money
to advertise the new breed. Then the
sale of few birds would virtually
throw the breeding open to the world
with little hope of financial profit to
the originator of the breed. 1t takes
at least ten years to produce a new
breed by crossing This was the case
with the Orpingtons. Cross after cross
had to be made to get shape and color,
and then several more years had to be
spent in fixing the qualities, so that
the offspring would be fairly true to
type. The man that tries to make
fortune out of the creation of a new
breed is in the same category as the
farmer who tries to produce a race
horse that will become worth a for
tune. In either case the prizes are
so few as to be not worth considering.
For practical purposes it is far better
to stick to the established breeds and
improve them than to attempt to
create new breeds by crossing.-Farm-
ers' Review.

SOME TIMELY BEE NOTES.
Moving Colonies in Spring and Sum-
mer Requires Careful and
Thoughtful Preparation.

While bees can be moved almost any
time, there are certain seasons much
more favorable to safe moving than
others. The cool days of early spring,
after the bees have had their first
flights and before they have begun to
build up, I consider the best time,
while the most unfavorable time would
be in hot weather, when the colonies
are pogulous and the hives full OF
fresh and newly built comb.
I have sent colonies hundreds of
miles by express during the hottest
part of July and that without any loss,
but the colonies were carefully pre-
pared. They were not full colonies,
strictly speaking, though containing
the full number of frames. In making
these light colonies ready I shook out
part of the bees, leaving the hive
roomy.
honey were removed and replaced by
others containing a small amount of
sealed honey and some open cells. If
I could not find combs that suited me,
I would put the heavy ones in the ex-
tractor and remove as much of the
honey as l. thought best. Then
always took one comb that contained
no honey and proceeded to fill it with
water and hang it in near one side of
the brood chamber.
Then a further requirement Is to
have the frames fastened so that there
will he no rafting Some hives have
self-spacing frames and need no fas-
tening. The ordinary hanging frame
should be fastened by driving a small
nail or brad through the ends of the
top bars into the hive body. Then the
whole part of the top should be COW
cred with a screen of wire cloth with
space of two inches or more over
the frames for clustering room.-Har-
ry Iathrop, in Orange Judd Farmer.

BEANS AND BEAN REFUSE.
They Can Be Disposed OF to Most
Profitable Advantage in the
Poultry Yard.

The canniest hen woman I know has
fed beans to her flock all winter. She
claims an increased egg yield from
their use. Taking into account the
fact that the hens were not particular
ly we'll housed, and that their other
rations consisted of corn, oats and
buckwheat, l am inclined to join her
in this opinion. Beans are rich in
proteids and carbohydrates. In this
instance they helped to furnish the
constituents for eggs, for when every
body's hens were loafing this flock
were attending strictly to their du-
ties l may say that the biddies took
up the bean habit" themselves. In
the fall the beans were cooked twice a
week for the pigs. The hens would
crowd about the receptacle in which
the beans were placed and eat to re-
pletion when they could get an album
dance of other food BY the time they
went into winter quarters they were
laying well, and they continued to do
so all winter. A percentage of the
bean crop is unmarketable from being

A Nest for LAYING Hens.

A great deal has been said about nests.
Experience teaches me that the best
nest is made by taking an egg case or
box about that size, open on the front
side. Nail four-inch strip on the low
er part of the open side to keep the nest
ing material from falling out, putting
a little earth in the corners to shape the
nest. Use excelsior for nesting mate
rial. l have found it better than straw,
because if the straw happens to get wet
it colors the shells of the eggs. Use a
liberal quantity of some good insect
powder in the nest to keep down the
vermin. have tried several kinds of
nests. but like the above best-Commer-
cial Poultry.

Hints About Poultry Rations.

a pennsylvania poultryman uses
equal parts ground corn, oats and bar
ley for fattening mash, and mixes with
milk. The pudding must have some
grease in it for digester. He uses one
tenth coarse beef-scrap which although
largely protein has enough fat left. The
West Virginia station found that when
the ration consisted Of wheat, oats and
white corn, the yolks of eggs were no
ticeably light colored. From white corn
alone, yolks we're very light, while the
feeding of yellow corn Impaired the de-
sirable rich, yellow color.-Midland

Sugar Beets in Michigan.

The Sugar Beet some time ago
printed figures showing the returns to
beet growers on the land around Sagi-
nav. 1t said that one man near Sagi-
nav realized $113.01 per acre, another
$113.94, another $101.66. Some living
near these men realized but $50 or $50
per acre. These are the amounts re-
allied by sale to the factories and from
them must be deducted the cost of
raising the crop, which averages from
$32 to $40 per acre. Some German
farmers raised beets that run from 20
to % per cent. sugar. They had sent
samples of their soil to friends in Ger
many, who procured for them seed
from beets grown in similar soil.
These were carefully cultivated and
the results were surprising.
