HINT FOR BEEkEEPERS.
How to Secure Full Service of the
Honey Makers Without Weak
ening the Colonies.

Apiarist Edwin Bevins claims to
have discovered two ways in which
laying worker colonies can be disposed
of so as to get all the service out of
the bees that they can render and yet
Keep the numbers of the colonies up
to what it was before,
One way is to place the hive contain
ing the laying workers over a strong
colony with fertile queen, placing a
newspaper with a small hole in IL be-
tween the two hives, says the New
York Farmer. The bees will unite
peaceably, and when considerable
worker-brood appears in the upper
hive the hive can be placed on an.
other stand and the bees will rear a
queen from the brood, If the old queen
can be introduced about three days
after the removal of the hive.
The other plan involves the taking
of a couple of frames of Matching
brood from a hive and placing them
In another hive over a strong colony,
with frame having wire cloth
nailed to both sides of it between the
two hives.
Thus fertile queen and her escort
are released on two combs, and in a
few days there.will be a nucleus strong
enough to take care Of the queen This
hive is then set down by the side of
the hive holding the laying workers.
Every two or three days frame
with the bees must be transferred
from the laying worker hive To the nm
cleus. BY the time all but two of
the frames are placed in the new hive
the queen is at work there and every
thing is harmonious.
AS regards the two frames taken to
form the nucleus they can be returned
to the places from which they were
taken, or these places can be filed by
the frames remaining unused in the
laying-worker hive

THE FIRST COST OF DUCKS
some Hints Which Will Aid in the
Successful Managing Of
Duck Form

A trio of good, ordinary market stock
should be purchasable for about seven
dollars. Ducks are not like hens; they
90 not lay all the year round, but when
they start they are attentive to the busi-
ness OF egg production daily, so that a
couple OF mature Pekins will provide you
with setting in six days. AS you will
want to Keep some of the young ones for
next years stock, ask the breeder you
buy from to ship you birds two years old,
as their progeny is stronger
Pekins never want to sit, so hens must
be used for Matching until your stock is
large enough to fiji an incubator in a few
days artificial duck raising is without
doubt the best Think of one farm in
massachusetts that markets $4,000
young ducks annually, sells two tons of
feathers, and keeps 1000 breeders!
would such an immense business be DOS
sible In the old way?
Ihough Pekins don't need water to
swim In, they must have quantities to
drink, always fresh and clean, which
means that drinking pans must be re-
hiied three times day, and be so con-
structed as to enable the bird to SUBJ
merge the whole bill in the water. Why?
Because there are two small holes at the
pase OF the bill which become clogged
with feed or mud, and unless they can
rinse these out when drinking the poor
things smother.
A man who had broiler farm near
our place, three years ago, bought a hun
dred ducks eggs, hatched out fine lot
OF youngsters, and lost every one within
Two weeks through using a water foun-
tain In the brooder that was too shall
low. AS had lots of ducks at the time,
he brought some over for me to see.
There was nothing whatever the matter
with them except that their little nos
trils, were all stopped up with the soft
food. So pray remember this very i'm
portant direction when you are arrang-
ing drinking water for ducks, young or
old-they must not be able to get into
the pan with their feet or bodies, but
their entire heads must have free en-
trance.-Pearson's.

Windmills in the Vast

A novel bur practical feature of
western prairie life is the use OF an al
most innumerable number of wind
mills, not only for raising water to the
surface for use on the farm, but very
many are now being used to furnish
power for running two-horse or three
horse power dynamos to store up elec-
tricity for power, light and heat, and
in some cases for cooking purposes,
also, Small areas are being irrigated
by elevating the water by means of
wind-engines in the southwestern sec
tion of the country, where great un-
derfow of water has recently been dis
covered to exist near the surface. To
use the wind to raise water to grow
never-failing crops TO sell and liqui-
date the mortgage is a good idea.--

-I1 have called to see
/ It 1t. ! have clusters
Of mushrooms 2hs
to 3h inches across and IN inches thick,
seven to eight in cluster. They are
certainly handsome as well as tempting.
The bed was made the first week of
August and by September 10 1t showed
mushrooms and by the 22d gathered
IN quarts with prospect Of bearing till
April or May.
In preparing a mushroom bed It is
necessary to select good horse manure,
fresh and specially clean droppings II
possible, free of coarse straw, says Farm
and Home. Place the manure outdoors in
a pile, let 1t stand day, then turn over
thoroughly SO as to cause fermentation
to set in. When cooled down, renew
operation for couple of days and 1t is
ready for use. When the manure is
ready, spread about four inches deep in
the bottom of box. Pat 1t down quite
hard, then spread over u inches good
loan and pat 1t down evenly. Then add
on top six inches of your compost and
loan mixed together, and be sure to
press 1t down good, and for last lay er
about three inches of the manure.
Let bed stand for a couple of days so
that 1t will generate an even heat
through the loan. Now il is ready for
planting. Secure good English mush-
room spawn, which comes in COM
pressed bricks. Cut the spawn In two
inch squares with hatchet and be care
full to save all small particles. Make
openings in the bed about two inches
deep and insert the squares of spawn
eight inches apart. Spread on the fine
particles of spawn. Cover up carefully
and press down as before and your bed
Is ready.
The best place for a bed Is in dark,
warm cellar. Mushrooms do not want
sun or light, but must have an even
temperature of 20 to so degrees. If the
bed gets rather dry, take warm water
and soak 1t well and repeat in ten or
IL days. 1t will require five to six weeks
before one can tell about the success of
his bed. At that perioo If o X you will
notice little bits of buttons of brown
ish white color. which are your mush-
rooms. The day after they will be
large and we'll developed, when you
may pick them. Do not cut them, but
twist gently and they will drop in your
hands.

SHUT OUT FOR PENNsY.
Georgetown Defeated the Quakers by
Timely Batting.

The University of Pennsylvania base ball
team lost its last scheduled game on Frank
lin Field, Philadelphia, yesterday afternoon
Georgetown winning by the score of 2 to O.
There was little to distinguish the game
from nearly score of others that the Red
and Blue has lost this year. But, in justice
to the Quakers, it should be said that they
made one more hit and one less error than
Georgetown. Yet, with all this they could
not hit when hits were needed and this
fatal weakness cost them the game.
Georgetown's first score came in the third
inning. After McGetting had been thrown
out at first Fennell gave brennan q base on
balls. Larkin flied to Weeks and Kans sin
gled. Then Capt Morgan stepped to the
plate and banged out a double to the right
Held grand stand, on which brennan scored
The southerners scored again in the sixth.
Kane opened the inning with single and
then stole second. Morgan then hit hot
grounder to Schiller, which the latter could
not handle In time to get him at first, Kane
moving up to third on the play. Hart filed
to Cariss and MarteIl sacrificed, scoring
Kane.
Rain began to fall in the ninth inning. but
did not stop the game. Burns and Curry
led off with two singles, but the next three
men went out in order. The entire Penn
sylvania team fielded in good style but lost
because of weak hitting. Capt. Morgan of
the Georgetown team received considerable
applause from the Pennsylvania stands for
some of his sensational plays at third. The

New Yorks Hit Young Hard.

Manager Collins and his Boston team left

that Collins men are always at their best

Yesterday. however. was not the veterans
day. for he was batted freely, home run
and two three-base hits being among the

OF the way Young.s delivery was treated 1t
IS only necessary to point to the fact that
the entire i've runs scored by the New
