MARKETING THEi~EGCS.
They Should. Be Gathered Often and
Packed with the Small
End Down.

Eggs should be gathered every day in
summer and oftener in winter, unless the
hen house is warm enough so that the
eggs will not freeze and burst the shell.
Put the eggs into basket with the
small end down until ready to pack in
boxes for shipping and keep in cool
room. Then pack in the box with the
cardboard separators, with the small
end down. They will keep fresh longer
if packed in this way than If put into
the boxes in a haphazard manner. The
reason for this is found in the fact that
the yolk cannot settle to the shell when
the small end is put down and the air
cannot strike the yolk as long as it does
not touch the shell. When eggs bring a
good price it is better to sell the eggs
than to raise chickens to sell, for the
profit is good and there is not SO great
an outlay. BY all means raise chickens
when eggs do not bring a very good
price. Among the most prolific layers
will be found the Black Spanish, the
Black, White and Brown Leghorns,
Poland, Hamburg, Creve Occur and La
Fleche, which. are larger than Black
Spanish, but somewhat similar to them.

=ENoNoMY OF THE BEE.
A Little Story Of How the Queen and
Drones Came to Be Feature
Of Every Colony,


. At one time the bees were male and
female in equal numbers. The ire
sponsible male buzzed about simply
getting his own living, marrying and
dying. The responsible female not only
got~her own living, but that of her
children.
Somehow, by and by, they came to
see the advantage of communal effort,
and, just as women say to one another
now, IF you'll wash the dishes, I'll
wipe 'em," one feminine bee said to
the other, "I'll be mother If you'll get
the living" 1t was bargain and the
accommodating females took drones in
to board.
The queen of beehive does not
rule; she lays eggs. She does not mind
the bGbies. She does not even do her
own digesting, let alone getting the
food. The attendants that surround
her feed. her with bee milk, secreted
by glands in their heads. She had to
be fed continually, for at certain peri
DDS she has the power of producing
from 1000 to 5000 eggs day, twice
her own weight, four times, indeed, for
more than half her weight is eggs. In
her lifetime prolific queen will lay
100000 eggs. sss.. .,,,.e,s, .s,...s., ,,s

AMERICA AS A GREAT FARM
The United States as It Would BE
# Parceled Out According to
= Respective Products.

The area Of the United States, ex.
elusive. of Alaska and our insular pos
sessions, is approximately 100000
square miles. Census returns give about
CSC, 900 square miles of this as improved
farm" land. An interesting illustration
says the New York Sun, lies in assuming
a segregation of our principal farm prod
ucts within specified areas of familiar
boundary, for the purpose of seeing our
national farm under such conditions. In
the following arrangement, the areas, il
not absolutely accurate in all cases., are
sufficiently close to give very good idea
Of what our farm would look like If it
were parceled out in such manner.
Thus planted, Maine and New Hamp-
shire would be our oat field. Rhode
Island, with about 300 square miles from
eastern Connecticut, would be our to-
bacco plantation. The rest of Connect
cut, with Long Island, would be the po-
tato patch, Vermont, Massachusetts,,
New York, New Jersey and Delaware
would form a vast wheat field. Pennsyl-
vania would be our cotton field. Virginia
and West Virginia would be a hay field.
Maryland would be planted in rye,
barley and buckwheat. North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia would be
covered with corn. We might then take
our choice between Texas or combina-
ton Of Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, In
diana, Illinois and Wisconsin as the
pasture and grazing land and for the
cultivation of minor crops and garden
truck. H.
With this vast area thus occupied, we
should still be left with nearly three
quarters of our national domain in the
form of unimproved land and forest.
We run the biggest farm in the world,
and We still have an empire left for set
tlement and cultivation.

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

Apiarist Edwin BeYins 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. "., . II
One way is to place the hive contain
ing the laying workers over a strong
colony with fertile queen, placing q
newspaper with small hole In 1t be
tween the two. hives, says the New
York Farmer. The bees will unite
peaceably, and 4 when, Il considerable
motherhood appears in the upper
hive the hive can be placed on AN.
other stand and the bees will rear q
queen from the brood, il the, old queen
can be introduced about three days
after the removal of the hive. ~, :
The other plan. involves the taking
of couple of frames Of Matching
brood from hive and placing them
in another hive over q strong colony,
with a frame having a wire cloth
nailed to both sides Of it between the
two hives. ~. ,..~ e.
Thus a fertile queen and her escort
are released on two combs, and in q
few days there will be 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 a frame
with the bees must be transferred
from the laying worker hive to the nu-
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. 20.
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. s. rs,1.u....., ,....

doubt the best. Think of one farm In
Massachusetts, that markets $4,000

Would such an immense business be pos
sible in the old way?
Though 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-
filled three times a day, and be so con-
structed as to enable the bird to sub
merge the whole bill IN the water. Why
Because there are two small holes at the
base of the bill which become clogged
with feed or mud, and unless they can
