POINTERS FOR BEEMEN.
Some Suggestions Which Will Prove
to Be Of Value During the
Springtime.

The necessity OF water to the honey
bees is to dissolve honey which some
times becomes candied in the cell. In
brood rearing, they can make but little
progress without an abundant supply.
In early spring, when compel led to go
a long distance to secure water from
brooks or drains, the losses will be be-
yond comprehension. The careful apia-
rist is fully aware of the value of these
little water gatherers at this season of
the year. He could we'll afford to lose
four times their number a month or
two later. 1t is apparent that many
cases of so-called spring dwindling is
traceable to the want OF water at the
proper temperature, supplied at conven-
lent places in the apiary.
Many of us have taken great pains in
locating our colonies perhaps wintered
fairly we'll, but without giving the mat
ter thought. Water had the most to
do with our difficulties There is prob.
ably no better way to keep the combs
not in use than under colony. If for
any reason you do not want to keep them
there, little fear need be felt that any
harm will come to them from worms
from this time till late next spring. when
they can again be given to the bees. It
is generally admitted that more extract
ed honey can be produced than comb
honey. Just how much more, no one
seems to know definitely. Some say
twice as much, some say half more.
The explanation is easy. In running
for extracted honey, extracting combs
are given. These the bees store with
their first honey and keep on storing un-
til full. They do not even have to stop
to draw out foundation, much less to
loaf around before attempting to draw
it out. In the case of comb honey. 4
super containing sections filled with
sheets OF foundation is given. But be-
fore the bees enter that super, they will
crowd every available cell in the brood
nest. In the meantime the loailng habit
is started, and swarming is likely to
follow, says the Orange Judd Farmer.
The fact of the matter is, the bees seem
much to prefer to store the nectar in
cells already drawn out; and it takes
pressure, great deal of it, to force them
into the supers. When they once COM
mehce drawing out the foundation, then
the storing and the work on the other
sections begin.
Some farmers prefer to pour the feed
right on the bees. If the feed is of the
right consistency, 1t never Injuries them
at all. 1t takes but little feed to stimu-
late to start breeding, provided abund-
ance of honey is in the hive. 1t would be
poor policy to stimulate to rear a lot
of bees and then allow them to starve.
In feeding in the spring, feed only
enough to fill the combs with the feed in
stead of the brood, for brood not stores
is what is desired at this time of year.

SOME FACTS ABOUT BEES.
Things Which Every Keeper Of Bees
a. Should Keep in Mind II He
Would Succeed.

Blame yourself if you are not making
q success with bees.
The orchard is the best place for the
apiary.
It is estimated that 1t costs the bees
ten pounds of honey for every pound of
comb.
From the time it is Matched, until it
becomes matured, the bee is II days old.
We doubt If there is better honey
plant than Alsike clover.
Even at the tender age Of three days,
bees help to perform the labors neces-
sary in the hive, like building the comb
and feeding the larvae.
The drone is an ideal loafer. He does
nothing but eat. ltreQuires several days
more to hatch a drone than q queen or
worker, showing they are even too tired
to come into this world.

ANOTHER RECORD IN
LAND-hUNTINC.
This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever.

It was thought in 1903, when over
forty-five thousand people went from
the United States to Canada, that the
limit Of the yearly emigration to the
wheat zone of the Continent had been
reached. But when in 1904 about as
large number of American citizens
signified their intention of becoming
settlers on Canadian lands, the gen.
eral public were prepared for the an
nouncement OF large numbers in 1905.
No surprise therefore will be caused
when it Is made known that the pre-
dictions Of fully fifty thousand more in
1905 are warranted in the fact that
the Spring movement Canadaward Is
greater than 1t has ever been. The
special trains from Omaha. Chicago,
st. Paul, Detroit, and other gateways.
have been crowded. Many have gone
to Join friends and relatives who have
prepared homes for them, and others
have gone relying upon their own re-
sources, satisfied that what others
have done can also be done by them.
This year much new territory has
been opened up by the railroads, which
are extending their main lines and
throwing out branches in their march
across the best grain and grazing
lands on the Continent. This new
territory has attractions for those de-
string to homestead on the one hun
dred and sixty acres granted each set
tier by the Canadian Government.
Many also take advantage Of the OPP
portunity to purchase lands at the low
figures at which they are now being
offered.
1t does not require much thought
to convince one that II Iowa. Illinois,
Minnesota and other lands, with q
value Of from fifty to one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre will give good
living by producing ten to thirteen
bushels of wheat to the acre and
thirty to fifty bushels Of corn to the
acre, the lands Of Western Canada at
seven to ten dollars an acre, produc-
ing from twenty to thirty bushels OF
q superior wheat to the acre, should
produce a competence 10 the ordinary
farmer in a very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There arc millions Of acres of
such land in Western Canada in addt-
ton to the other millions that are con-
sidered to be portion Of the biggest
and best ranges that ever invited the
cattle and horse producer Of the North
American continent. What Is particu-
larly evident IN Western Canada Ia
the fact that the wheat lands, adjoin-
ing the grazing lands, make farming
particularly agreeable and profitable
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment, who are always willing to give
Information ana advice to intending
settlers, say that the acreage put un'

cess of last season.

FREIGHT RATE BILL SIGNED.

On Saturday Governor Folk signed
the Speer-D Dickinson maxlum freight
rate bill. Though greatly injured by
two amendments this bill, even in
the form in which it went to the
governor, was undoubtedly the most
important measure considered by the
legislature at its last session. Some
apprehension as to the fate of the bill
had been entertained because Of the
governors delay in signing 1t, and
because it was evident that great
pressure was being brought to bear
upon him to induce him to veto it.
Governor Folk expressed himself as
not without apprehensions as to the
stock schedule of the bill, which had
been changed by amendment from
the rates prescribed in the original
draft, but he declared himself in
favor of revision and left to the
courts the correction of any injustice
that may be found in the stock
schedule.
The people of Lexington are par
tlcularly interested In this measure
since it had its origin here; though
without the coal schedule Lexington
will be less a beneficiary than most
towns Of the same size. The striking
out Of coal was a grievous blunder, If
not a criminal one, since many Of the
railroads are in the coal business.
