KEEPING BEES.
Every Farm Should Have at Least a
Few Hives.

1t is safe to say that every farm
would support at least few hives of
bees. Nearly all parts of our country
produce honey in quantities sufficient
to pay for the gathering The amount
of honey that goes to waste every
year for want of bees to gather 1t is
very large. in fact, too large to esti-
mate. Every farm has on it fruit
trees. berry patches, clover. or buck
wheat fields. the nectar from all of
which, in the absense of bees, is eyap-
GRATED ~ the sun and practically
wasted. writes F. G. Herman in Mich
igan Farmer. The forests also con.

which are good honey yielders. Then
there are the autumn wild flowers.
such as boneset. goldenrod. heartsease
and wild asters. which bloom for q
succession of two months, from which
the bees may store a quantity of sur
plus honey. In my locality beekeep-
ers get the most and finest honey from
autumn wild flowers which grow at
random everywhere
Everyone growing fruit or any
plant that is intended to yield seed
should be interested in beekeeping
and either try to induce some person
to keep bees near him or keep b few
colonies himself. There is a nursery
man and berry grower who has a
farm about two and one-half miles
from my home apiary. just little too
far for the bees to visit, so by mu.
tual agreement l keep about 80 col.
onies on his farm and run them for
extracted honey. and we both are ben.
Gifted by the arrangement. Some peo-
pie are perfectly willing to have bees
on the farm and derive all the Incl
dental benefit from them. If only some
one else will handle them for their
honey.
Now it is quite safe to say that

goodly portion of patience and cour.

TEN GOOD REASONS.
Read Them and Patronize the Mer-
chants of This Town.

Here are ten good reasons for trad
ing with your home business people,
as given by an exchange.
Because: You examine your pur-
chase and are assured of satisfaction
before investing your money.
Because: Your home merchant is
always ready and willing to make
right any error or any defective arti-
Gle purchased of him.
Because: When you are sick or for
any reason it is necessary for you to
ask for credit, you can go to the local
merchant. Could you ask it of mail
order house?
Because: If a merchant is willing
to extend you credit you should give
him the benefit of your cash trade.
Because: Your home merchant pays
local taxes and eXerts every effort to
build and better your market, thus in
creasing both the value of city and
country property.

THE DUST MULCH.
It Prevents Evaporation of Moisture
and Causes Roots to Strike Deeper.

A Matter of much importance. both
as regards saving moisture and pre-
venting root injuries. is the depth of
surface tillage. Too shallow cultiva-
ton will not be effective in checking
evaporation. still one must know that
the soil should not be stirred so deep
that the top roots are cut. II this is
done the growth is at once checked,
and the roots are forced lower in
seGrch of supplies. From two to three
inches have been found the best depth
for fiat cultivation, where the ground
has been thoroughly prepared. When
a seed bed has been thoroughly fined,
proper handling will bring the corn
crop along. with the minimum amount
of rainfall. The problem. says In
diana Farmer. is to maintain good
capillary action between the lower
water systems and the soil where the
roots are growing. When the water
moves upwards and strikes the dust
blanket 1t is checked. and it must pass
out through the plant. rather than by
evaporation. 1t is pretty nice prob
lem, but the aim should be to make
all water and fertilizing material pass
through the roots of the growing
plants, work for the dust mulch;
don't dig down to the wet soil. so
that with every cultivation you ex-
pose more soif to the sun.
