The Bee Business.

There are bee keepers and bee keep
ers, bee fanciers, and bee cranks,
practical bee keepers and imitation
bee keepers. The latter class are
those who have heard of some one
making big money out of bees, or
those who have neighbor that has se-
cured a good crop of honey and sold
it at fair price, and they imagine he
is getting rich fast, SO they want some
of it, too. They1imagine that all that
is necessary is to procure a few colo
nies of bees and set them under the
shade of an old aple tree and after
that hive the swarms and take the
honey in the autumn. They think that
bees gather honey from the time the
first flowers bloom in the spring un-
til frost has killed all vegetation In
the late autumn. Should any such
bee keeper read this article l would
advise him to do one of two things,
either sell his bees to some one who
understands caring for them or else
make a thorough study Of the business
and make a practical bee keeper of
himself And l might add right here
that he must not expect to do this in
six months or even within one year

I do not think 1t would be possible
to get as good an egg yield as report
without the best Of care in feeding.
Ny poultry have been fed three times
day, just as carefully and thoroughly
as work horses or fattening stock.
Another thing which will add largely
to the profit Is to market all surplus
poultry as early as possible. A duck
ten weeks old will cost less than half
what one will four months old, and
will bring just as much money. EARLY
chicks no larger than quail will often
bring more money than those that
are kent twice as long. During nearly
the entire four months in which my
eggs were sold. as reported, the huck-
sters were paying but seven cents per
dozen in cash, and the grocers eight
cents in trade; but by contracting
my eggs to large boarding house,
warranting every egg to be fresh. and
seeing that it was 80, received al
ways two cents or more above the
market price. When no nest eggs are
left in the nests, and one person gath
ers the eggs every day, keeps them
in cool place, and markets regularly
on given day each week, 1t is per-
fectly safe to warrant the eggs, for
they can not be otherwise than per-
fectly fresh and good.-Southern

THE VALUE OF LEGUMES.
Extracting Fertilixfng Material
From the Air One of Their
Most Valuable Functions.

Natural laws of plant life are very
instructive to the tillers of the soil.
Prof. Voorhees,, who is reliable, made
very clear, in some experiments how
cow-peas take nitrogen from the at
mosphere and deposits 1t in the soil. :
He grew plants in large pots, so that
he could tell exactly what happened
to the soil. Before the cow-peas were
planted the soil was analyzed so that
the exact amount of nitrogen which
1t contained was known. The cow-peas
were grown without any fertilizer, and
and the tops were cut on close to the
soil about as one would in making hay
After this crop was taken OF the soil
was analyzed again and it contained
more nitrogen than it did before the
crop was planted. Let us think what
that means. Here was average soil
which produced fair crop of cow
peas, and still had more nitrogen left
than before! No one will believe that
the nitrogen climbed into that soil and
lay down, willing captive, Nitrogen
isn't built that way-it is constantly
trying to escape. and such experiments
prove that the cow-pea Is one OF ma
lures policemen and that he Knows
how to arrest the runaway. We IN
