BEGINNERS IN BEEKEEPING.
Many Make Mistake of Putting Sur
plus Receptacles on the Hive
Before They Are Needed.

The beginner with bees is apt to
make the mistake of putting surplus
honey receptacles on the hive before
they are needed. All the heat is need
ed in the brood department early in
the season, and the bees will not work
in supers until the harvest opens and
they are cramped for room.
Bees are peculiar In some respects;
they will not go to work readily in the
supers if they are given too much
empty space to begin with. Better put
only one super on each hive to start
with. The sections should be fur
nished with starters. To induce the
bees to go right to work, put in at
least one partly-dlled section in each
super from some other colony already
at work, or from store held over from
last season. The comb alone is all
right for this purpose, but if it is full
of honey it is so much the better.
Broad comb may be cut up and fitted in
sections as bait comb, If there are no
partly finished sections on hand. A
few of such sections should always be
saved over, and taken care OF. They
are valuable at this season.
If the bees still refuse to work In
the supers, there may be little honey in
the fields, or the flowers from which
a yield is expected may not secrete
honey. Bad weather often prevents
the bees from working. They will do
little good gathering honey unless
there is large force of bees at the
right age for business when the har-
vest opens. A strong colony may al
ways be depended upon to fill the sec
tions even in poor season.-Fannie M.
Wood. In Ohio Farmer.

Return to the Old Ways.

tended to conserve and increase the hui.

was paid to preventing the exhaustion Ut

ed in the decrease of the average yie;d
of the grain and oil-seed crops. Now,
after so years of an exhaustive SYSTEM
of stimulated culture, there has com =
an urgent appeal from scientific source'
for farmers to use every possible meana
to increase humus in the soil by grow

IT PAYS TO KEEP BOOKS.
Advantages Of Definite Records In
Poultry Keeping Are Numerous
and Helpful.

Poultry keepers who for the first time
begin keeping an account with their
fOwls-a careful record of the outgo and
income-are apt to be somewhat sur
prised at the end of the year. With
some the surprise may be very agree
able, while with others it may be the op-
posite. At any rate, it is apt to re-
suit in some changes for the better. If
the balance is on the right side and
the owner is we'll satisfied, it is like
ly to encourage him to do little bet
ter the next year. If the books foot up
against him, he will probably make an
effort to improve matters, either by
giving more attention to the hens, or
by going out Of the business entirely
The latter, no doubt. would be the most
sensible for some. will tell Of farm
er's wife who decided that It would
be better to know exactly what the
hens were bringing in; so three years
ago she procured a poultry and egg
record book for the purpose, and she
has learned by this bookkeeping that
her Leghorns lay about 12O eggs per
year, the weight of the eggs being more
than four times the hens own weight,
which is about three and one-quarter
pounds. She has learned the value of
the feed given the hens, and says that
the cost of eggs produced in her yards
is three and one-half cents in the sum-
mer and five cents per dozen in the
winter. These fowls are given better
care than the average farm flock gets
yet no special pains has been taken with
them, only good all-round care. The
point to impress upon those who keep
poultry is this; if this person had not
Kept an account with her fowls she
would not have known what they were
turning In, and it would be difficult
to make others around her believe that
her hens were doing so we'll except for
those figures in "black and white
Even in poor market this woman
would clear more than dollar per head
on her hens. But there are a great
many people who are keeping poultry
who are not doing this; no, they arr
not even making both ends meet" bu
they don't know it. Then there ar,
others who say that the hens don't pa,
for their keep, and are nuisance, wher
If they really knew what they wer,
talking about, they would find the hen,
the most profitable stock on the place
But these are matters that cannot b,
definitely determined without keepin:
a book account with the fowls. Man,
people dislike to be bothered settin,
anything down; they prefer to let thing
go on, and guess at the profit or loss
The ones that make the most money, n,
matter what they are doing, are thos,
who have system for carrying on thei
business. They have things in tn
proper place, and when eggs are gath
cred it takes less than a minute to Sc
down the number brought in. Whel
the eggs or poultry are sold it is no
much trouble to put down the amour

A Composition on Ducks.

A schoolboy in Jewell City, Mo-, was
assigned to prepare an essay on the
subject of Ducks" and this is what
he wrote: 1.-THE duck is low, heavy
set bird, composed mostly of meat and
feathers. He is a mighty poor singer,
having a hoarse voice caused by get
ting so many frogs in his neck. He
likes the water and carries toy balloon
in his stomach to keep him from sink
ing. The duck has only two legs and
they are set so far back on his running
gear by nature that she came purity
near missing his body. Some ducks
when they get big have curls on their
tails and are called brakes. brakes
don't have to set or hatch, but just loaf,
20 swimming and eat. If was to be
duck I'd rather be q drake every
time."-N. Y. Tribune.

fill the keg the tube is corked, then
the cork is taken out of the top.
When it Is filled make the top bung
tight and open the tube below. The
water will not run out of the cup if
the tube be an inch or more below the
top. One cup will water good-sized
flock. Two or more cups may be
used if necessary. The fountain should
be set on a box about eight inches
high, just so the hens can reach it
and not throw dirt into the cup by
scratching. With this arrangement
they have plenty Of clean water and
require our attention but once day.
