New Phone Line i'm Columbia.

Another new telephone line was add
ed to the United Company system on
Saturday afternoon. The neg line
makes a circuit through the country
from Shickshinny, and connects with
the United system at the Benton ex-

of Cambria, New Columbus, Town
Hill, Cherry Hill, Huntington Mills,
Watertown and Harveyville, and has
about $50 subscribers.
As the first of April approaches the
strike clouds gather and the industrial
sky looks threatening. 1t is to be hop
ed the wiser counsels will prevail in
both the mine workers and operators
meetings and that serious trouble will
be averted. But if it must conceive

A BEE TALK.
Some Important Things for Apiarist
to Remember at This Time
of the Year.

Nearly all the winter losses can be
traced to starvation See that each
colony has an abundance of well-sealed
stores.
If the beehives are in an exposed
place, try edging-up some boards at
their backs; or get up a few bundles
of fodder before winter rightly sets in.
Lots of things are not attended to at
all, simply because they cannot be
done in shipshape manner.
Do not try to winter your bees too
warm. They need access of air from
the bottom.
Liquid honey or strip should not be
given to bees in winter for food. At this
time they are not able to evaporate the
excessive water from it. They should
have been supplied with food in the au-
tumn. But, as a last resort, take cup
full of liquid honey and work into it all
the powdered sugar it will readily alb
serb; make the dough into the form Of
a pancake, and lay it on the brood
frames directly over the cluster of bees:
cover up warm and leave until spring.
Then feed, for stimulative brood-rear-
ing, liquid honey or sugar syrup.
Bees will winter better in double
walled hive. north of latitude 40. A sin
gle-walled hive will do very well, pro-
vided hood, say six to eight inches
deep, is used instead of a fiat cover
Deep hives are very much better for
the hives to winter in than are shallow
ones; but if the hives are made too deep,
very little surplus honey will be secured,
including myself, now use two bodies at
certain times of the season, removing
one just at the beginning of the main
honey flow, and putting on the section
boxes The idea is to keep the whole
working force of the colony together,
and crowd them into section boxes.
Many of us remember the old method
of keeping bees in box hives for breed
ers, allowing them to swarm, then put
ting the swarms into other hives and
depending on them for our surplus
honey. In the fall of the year the
swarms were brimstoned and the hives
robbed OF their honey; after which they
were stored away to be used again the
next year.
L began my beekeeping career with
box hives, but soon discarded them for
the movable frame hive. Those who
wish to try the box-hive plan will do
well to begin on small scale. If large
returns from them are assured it will be
an easy matter to develop the plan.

FORESIGHT IN FARM WORK.
The Best Success Is Dependent on
Planning the Work Far
Ahead.

The farmer that can properly plan
in his farm work has the best chance
of success. He can then husband not
only the time of his men, but his ma
terials. Lack of foresight is RESPONSE
BILE for very considerable waste of
time on farms. The winter time is
a good season in which to carefully
go over the work of the coming sea-
sons, says the Farmers Review. Why
not? In every other business much
thinking and planning before hand has
to be done. The men that carry COM
mercial enterprises to successful ter
limitations have always spent weary
days and weeks in doing nothing but
planning = building thought upon
thought. Such plans do not often
come as inspirations; they come as
the results of hard work of the brain.
The farmer must succeed along the
same road as do other men, The learn
ing to plan is one of the best things
that our young men get at the agricul-
tural colleges. They are given hard
problems to solve and have to sit down
and think about them; sometimes shey
have to think hard for days before ar
irving at a solution. This gives them
the initial ability to plan, and planning
is foresight.

coming from the habit thew have
when placed on their backs. of sud-
denly swapping themselves in such a.
manner as to throw their bodies into
the air (when they in most cases can
fall on their feet).
There are many kinds of snapping-
beetles in the United States, and a cor
responding number of kinds of wire
worms, their young. A few live under
the bark of trees or in decaying wood:
most, however, live in the ground and
feed upon seeds and the roots of yar;
Gus plants, often causing much loss.
The eggs of these insects appear to
be laid in the spring, usually. and
from them the little wireworms soon
hatch and begin to feed. 1t generally
takes several years before the worms
have fed enough to become fuILgrown.
but when this condition has been
reached, each forms a little cell in the
ground during the latter part of the
summer, and in this cell changes TO
an adult swapping beetle, which re-
mains in the cell till the following
spring.
treatment OF this pest is not usu-
ally possible by means of poisons
though in some cases their numbers
might be reduced by such methods
Probably the best way in which to
control wireworms is by late or early
winter blowing, repeated for two OF
three years. This destroys the wire
worms by bringing them up to the
surface of the ground, where, exposed
to the freezing and thawing of the
winter, many will perish or be de-
voured. Breaking the cells above de-
scribed appears to cause the death of
the insects which occupy them. ana
thus fall blowing is useful for the de-
struction of this stage as well. Rota-
ton of crops is unfavorable to the in
crease of wireworms, and should be
practiced for this reason if for no
other.

Kansas experiment station, where an
effort has been made TO trace the depth
ef roots. Here are at least three plants
out of some six or seven studied
where the root has penetrated to a
depth greater than six feet
1t is a general opinion among those
who have studied the subject that the
deep growing root has a great deal to
do with the capacity of alfalfa to re-
sist drought on account of the dis
lance that alfalfa roots are enabled
to penetrate into the ground. This
characteristic of the alfalfa plant is
one reason, doubtless, why it is advis-
able if not necessary for the soil to
have considerable depth and not have
a hard pan a short distnce below the
surface.
In addition to the depth to which al.
falfa roots may enter the SOIL, the il
lustration is interesting for the fact
that it shows the growth of fibrous
roots at the surface. While these are
less than what one naturally expects
with clover, they are characteristic
with alfalfa.
