Bad Bee Management.

In this State we have an ideal eli
mate for bee keeping, yet even here
bees will not be profitable unless
some care is taken toIook after them.
Farm and Ranch. says:
A large part of Farm and Ranch
readers keep bees and a large part of
it's readers have let the bees take
care Of themselves. The latter class
should get out of the old boz gums,
get the movable frame hives, trans
fer their bees andimprove their stock
and begin to derive some revenue
from them. Some time ago I was on.
the market square here in Waco SELL
ing honey, and a certain farmer was
there every morning with his fruit
and melons, and seeing the writer
there every morning with honey,
came up and said: -Ph1llips, 1 want
to know how you always have honey
to sell, and I, with forty gums of
bees can't get enough honey for my
family to eat2' I said: What kind
of hives have you?" He said: "Just
a square gum. I said: "Well do
you pay any attention to them?" and
he answered: mo; / hive them and
let them co. Then / said: well,
suppose you would do your melons
and orchards that way, how many
peaches or melons would you bring
to market?" None" Just so with
bees. 2 = A% FsE&S #5 AA5& .
The above illustrates the way that
many farmers keep bees, and Farm
and Ranch reaches a very large class
of these. The farmers wife could
take charge OF the bees and devote {
little study to them and have a few
bees and get practical knowledge
and would soon find that her bee
would bring her more money thai
her chickens, with less labor and
great deal more pleasure. Of eours
you must understand how to manag
them and study your honey plants t
know just when trey will come int
bloom, so as to have the bees bull
up to strong colonies and keep theI
from swarming. The writer had on

Great pleasure may be had from a
garden planted in ANIMALS, though of
course the pleasure of the garden viii
be transitory.9 For a flower garden
of delight abiding, we should have
towering trees, towering shrubs, pc
rennials, numerous bulbs, both hardy
and tender, and a generous sprink-
ling of ANNALS. II
The balsam is n of the old-time
fayoriteS which has been improved
immensely by cultivation. It may
now be had in many colors, and its
flowers are of beautiful form 1t re-
quires a light, rich soil and SUM-. The
verbena is one of the loveliest flow
ers we have either annual or peren-
NAL, and should be largely grown; it,
too, requires a light, rich soil and
sun. Nearly every color, with the ex-
ceptien of yellow OF orange; has been
this multi-colored flower is difficult
to surpass. The China aster is quite
popular; it requires a light, rich soil,
plenty of sun, and attains a height of
two feet, continuing in bloom a cou-
pie of weeks. For a succession, SOW
at intervals of twenty to thirty days.
Scarlet sage ~(salvia splendens) is
one of the most gorgeous plants for
the garden; you can scarcely have too
many. Being of such a brilliant hue,
be sure to have sufficient background
of some good green in order that it
may show up at it's best, and do not
place it neal pink flowers; each will
lose thereby. It requires good soil
and will thrive either in the sur or
in partial shade. The dear little
pansy is beloved by all of US, and
though best results are obtained by
sowing in August or September, yet
the seed sown in the spring in a hot
bed or in the window box in the
house will give good results, continu-
ing in bloom throughout the summer
months. 1t requires a rich, light soil
with partial shade. The dwarf mas
turtium is excellent for bedding, both
leaf and flower are lovely; it requires
a light soil, well drained. If the soil
be too rich the plant will produce
fine foliage but few flowers. e
A capital plan for beds in which to
plant these ANIMALS is to lay on a
strip from three to six feet wide to
run the entire length of your front
walk on either side; then if more
flowers are desired, lay of a similar
or wider strip before the front piazza
on either side of the steps, out of the
way of the drippings from the piazza
roof if there be not guttering. Study
the color of the flowers and plant
them so that there will be no init
mate intermingling of clashing col
ors. Study a color scheme for the
beds just as you would a color scheme
for your hat, and you'll delight in
this glorious mass of color, the result
of your own hand and brain, every
summers day.-Mrs. Walter Grimes,
in Progressive Farmer.

CdmpRor Farms.

Our people will have to look out
and bestir themselves or some one
! else will gather the cream of the cam
phor business. There is 40 question
about its being a profitable enter
prise, and those who start first will
get the largest share of the profits.
z e From an item in the Farm Stock
Journal it seems that Texans have al
ready embarked in the business. We
hope that Florida will not be far be-
hind. '
Camphor raising promises to be-
come an important and profitable in
dustry on the farms of Southwest
Texas. DR.. w. j. Watkins, of the bu-
reau of plant industry, Washington,
says there is already one camphor
farm fourishing at Wharton, Texas.
and that another is to be established
at once at F1oresville, Wilson County,
Texas. h--a
DIR. Watkins is firmly of the opin-
ion that camphor,- which is getting
rare, and which commands a very
fancy price, can be raised success
fully in Texas, and eventually be-
come one of the States richest crops,
DR.. Watkins says: 'The camphor
plant is planted from seed, the same
as wheat and oats, and requires no
more cultivation, except that it is
planted in drills SO that it can be the
more easily cultivated. When a
plant is matured sufficiently a mower
is run through the crop and the plant
cut about a foot above the ground.
The severed portion of the plant is
made into camphor through aldistill.
ing process, while from the stalks
left in the ground the next years
crop grows. Only n planting is
necessary. as the roots produce from
year to year. The crop is a very
profitable one, yielding. as high as
$3.50 a year from each acre, with less
cultivation by far than the ordinary
crops raised on Texas faFms."-Fler-

Corn and Cottonseed Meaf..

The average of large numbers of
feeding tests or trials shows that one
pound of cottonseed meal is equal In
feeding value to one and three-fourths
pounds of corn This is not an esti-
mate or guess, nor is it based on
chemical analysis, but it is the aver
age Of hundreds of, tests where ami
mails and feeds were both accurately
weighed. lone ton of cottonseed
meal is therefore equal in feeding
value to $500 pounds Of corn. and if
we take q fair average, $2T.50 per
ton for eottonseed meal, and sixty
two, and one-half cents per bushel for
corn, the cost is as follows: o,;5fg-
1000 pounds cottonseed meal at $2750

meal is substituted for $500 pounds
of corn at $11.56 in5favor7 of the cot

difference of opinion as to the prices
which should be fixed for these feeds,
but it is probably fair to place the
price of cottonseed meal at from $25

As will be seen, there is a constal

AS will be seen, there is a constant
tendency to increase In the cost Of
maintenance, but this increase is, in
part, accounted for by the construc-
ton of fcotpaths and the placing of
granite sets to protect the roads
from injury by trolley lines. . f
The Colorado statistician estimates
that the expenditures of the entire
State for road maintenance were
about $4,000 I'm 1905; and it will
be seen that this was actually less
than the single county of Yorkshire
expended in maintaining it's highways
in the same year 5r#-zsarz --aET
Moreover, the average cost of labor
in Colorado is probably twice or
thrice its cost in Yorkshire, so the
cost OF maintaining a mile Of the
Yorkshire road in Colorado would be
twice or thrice as great. It would
be interesting, IF traffic statistics
were available. to show the contrast
between the TYPICAL road in the two
localities in this respect. 1t may be
safely assumed. however, that while
the average labor expended per mile
on the Yorkshire road is probably at
least fifty. times that on a typical
Colorado road the traffic is very
likely hundred times as much En-,
