would say, "for l don't have to bother
with iddling little camePs hair
brushes" Yet for fear they would
not pet enough pollen for their bee
bread, I put out pea -four for their
use; and it always managed to dis
appear!
In the "burnt woods" round our
Oregon ranch We used to hear of the
bee-trees. If we had come
from the South of France, we should,
I suppose, have done as they do there
make use of hollow trees as e.
tions for bee hives, rooted with
shingles; but as it was, an English
man came to live with us who had
a regular bee mania. He was I'M
fortunately too scientific to be prac-
tical; and queens from Palestine,
Cyprus and Italy ate UP the profits
that we ought to have made! The
bee experiences that he poured into
my delighted ears were most enter
tanning as well as startling.
I studied my "Root" and took the
greatest interest in the wonderful
little sprites. One can always get
pleasure out of bees, realizing what
others have witnessed, viz, the order
of the little community; the regulat-
ed activities. even to the ~watchmen
and the hot weather farmers; the
indefatigable nurses; the makers of
the secret "royal jelly" for the en-
bryo queens; the carrying off the
dead bodies, too, without the camp"
and many other wonders.
And yet the bees are said to work
only four hours a day, and live only
six working weeks. Clever as they
are, a good bee-keeper knows how
to circumvent them when necessary,
keeping them under his scientific con
troll.
In proportion to the time wisely
spent on them, more financial profit

knowledge and facility in handling
them is needed: the locality being
adapted to their supplies and the
climate to their constitutions. With
us they work first in the spring on
the vine maple, then on orchard and
wild bloom. Later on, the much
abused fox-glove takes their fancy
and white clover first and last and
all the time.
Until he becomes "immune," the
bee-keeper must have ammonia handy

Manteo, n. O..

A field for cooperation is in the
milk delivery business. Many large
towns and cities are over-run with
delivery wagons, following each 9th
er over similar routes. It would
be money and time for dairvmen to
unite, establish a central milk ware
house, which could collect the milk
at the barns in milk drays and then
retail it from milk wagons. If this
we're done in many cities, fully one
half the delivery wagons, their horses
and drivers, could be dispensed with.

Radish Gorw!ng for Shipping.

I find The Progressive Farmer n
of the best agriculture papers I have

I am doing some truck farming

industry of this section in a few
years.. I also try to make some hog
and hominy to eat while the truck is
growing. I will thank you for some
information on radish for shipping.

fed if the most economical ration
is to be used.
There is one other point which
must not be overlooked in feeding
cottonseed or cottonseed meal to
dairy cows. If more than four
pounds of cottonseed meal, or the
equivalent of cottonseed be fed, it
will injuriously affect the quality of
the butter. Moreover, owing to the
unbalanced" composition of these
feeds, or as it is generally stated,
their richness" not more than four
pounds of meal nor five pounds of
seed should ever be used as a con-
slant ration because of their tend
ency to derange digestion when fed
In larger quantities. Of course, un-
der favorable conditions, and when
the feeding is not to be continued for
more than sixty or ninety days, very
much larger quantities of meal may
sometimes be fed profitably; but as a
general rule, the practice is undesir-
able.
In short, at present prices your
correspondent may proftably feed
five pounds of seed Ter day to each
cow, but the balance of the ration
should be composed of such other
feeds as will give it proper 'bal-
ance" and variety. If he is selling
milk, and is not making butter. he
may pro6tably feed at least two
pounds per day in addition to the
five of seed, and, therefore, if his
supply of seed be larger than will
be consumed by feeding five pounds
per day, he should exchange part Of
them for meal on the best terms
possible.
There is just one other point re-
garding the feeding of cottonseed,
instead of selling them, that / can
not refrain from mentioning. Whom
a ton of cottonseed brings only $40 |
Us cents per bushelD it may be fed

equal to 1920 pounds of corn for

as we can buy with what the ton of
seed will bring on the market, it
certainly will not pay to sell seed and
buy commercial fertilizers.
