aood Way OF Seeing ~ fhe Little
Hnay nee wnrl<sss
Everybody In curious to sep bees ac-
tually at work. Take a rectangular
glass aquarium and place 1t on a win
dow sill, elevated slightly at the side
neataet the window 50 ths when the
latter liz raised an Inch IL. bees may
pass In and ont. Ift desir tho bees
may be kept for some timl connne-
ment by raising the aquarium au inch
ON blocks and using q strip Of wire
screen cloth to prevent the bees from
escaping.
When confined the bees shoild he fed
o slrup Of equal parts OF sugar and
water. A frame or two Of bees may
be purchased for a trifing sum.
Put within this glass aquarium some
rustic supports to represent projecting,
undecayed portions OF the inside Of the
hollow trunk. Keep all covered by an
opaque cloth when not observing what
Is going OF within this glass bee home.
Then the bees will be free to work
and to adapt themselves to the envi-
ronment. They a suit their own
fancy about attaching combs to the
sticks; they may build d~iagonally or In
uny other form that they may prefer,
and they may attach the comb to sides
or ends just when and where they
think 1t Is necessary.
In the artificial hives the combs are
attached only at the edges, but In nat.
ural conditions within the bee tree or
In Its counterpart, as represented by
the old fashioned box hive with opaque
sides and In our transparent inverted
aquarium, the bees can build combs
and attach them In any way that they
see fit.
One Of h most interesting objects
for study is TO note when the bees
think 1t necessary to put out a side
support from a long comb. They seem
to believe that they are really within
a hollow tree and that 1t is likely to be
swayed by the gales. or course when
30 Bwayed long combs laden with
honey or with young bees would be
too much for the unyieldlng rIgldity Of
the upper part Of the combs. These, IL
they have no side stays, would bend,
crack and BIO crashed against each
other.
The bees have learned this and give
the combs a fine support whenever it
is necessary. They do this, 1t Is true to
a certain extent, In the regular eight
or ten frame hive, but not with the
naturalness with which they do,it In q
large, unobstructed space.
Not long ago a veteran beekeeper
took q colony OF bees from an attic,
where they had been for many years.
"Well," said he, "you should have
seen the funny forms Of those combs
most interesting thing l ever saw.
There was IL pillar almost round-a
solid center right and several feet long
and these combs around that; the
most fantastic shape you ever saw

lima and Enrich Farmers,

We have published frequently the
formula for the Williamson plan" or
the way devised by Mr.. q. Mower
Williamson, of Darlington, to make
five ears Of corn grow whore but one
grew before. The formula az given
heretofore has been q little long. Tho
following has been prepared for the
Columbia State by Mr.. James Henry
Rice, Jr., as the most concise form in
which 10 can be given:
Break land In winter o%ne.fourth
deeper than common; lay of in six.
foot rows, leaving five inch balk.
When time to plant break out balk
with scooter, following in same fur
row on this ridge. Ridge them with
aame plow, going deeper; run corn
planter With Di8ls pillow, with wing
taken tf. Plant as early as possible.
usually about the middle Of March.
Drop corn grains every ak inches.
Use no fertilizer, Give first working
with harrow or any pillow that will not
cover plant. Second working with 10
or 12.inoh sweep on both sides of
plant. Thin after this working.
Corn should not DO worked again
until sufficiently Btunted, 30 that 1t
will never grow large. Whom it Ia
about 10 to IL inches high put on fer.
tilizer. Mix 200 pounds cotton seed
meal, 200 pounds acid phosphate, 400
pounds kainit. Put half In old sweep
furrow, on both sides of every other
middle. Cover by breaking out mid.
die with turn pillow. Ole week later
treat the other middle In the same
way, fertilizer and all. In q few DAYS
side corn in first middle with 10. inch
sweep. Put al your nitrate of soda
In this furrow, II less than 100 pounds
Is used; If more. put half. OoVor with
one furrow OK turn plow, then COW
peas In middle broadcast, at rate Of a
bushel to the acre, and finish break.
Ing out. Lay by carly. More cocn ia
ruined by late blowing than by lack
of blowing. No hoeing Ia necessary
and middle may be kept clean until
time to break out by narrowing.
For 80 bushels to the acre leave
stalks 16 inches apart; for rs bushels,
IL inches; for 100 bushels, 8 inches
apart.
Do not pull fodder; do not out tops
let peas and pea vines die ON land.
Value In fertilizer to land ia worth
moro than forage.
Every farmer In this county should
give the plan q trial.

day respited him until February %,
at the request of the board Of pardons,
In order that late petitions Ia his IA
vor, which are now In the hands OF
the court officers, may be examined
by tho board.
The Columbia Record says Messrs.
Gfubsr and Flshburne, the Walter.
boro attorneys who have attracted
state Wide attention by their hard
light for Adams life, are confident
that when the members Of tho pardon

lion to tho petitions recently seoursd
In Adams county they will recon.
mend at least q Communication to life
mpriaonment-possib q full pardon.
The respite given their client We'd.
nesday. is due solely to their own liz.
nozance Of tho pfo0sdnre OF tho exc
cuttve offices whom the petitions are
filed.
The papeIs are frat sent to the
Judge and tho solicitor, that they may
indorse upon the records their recon.
mendations as to the disposition of
tho petition for pordon or commuts-
tion. Then the papers are filed in the
executive offices until the board OF
pardonS meets.
The board has uniformly declined
to consider petitions Without expres.
sions from the trial judge and the 30
lioltor who prosecuted the case, and
tho governor has just az consistently
refused to take action upon such petit.
tions until they shall have passed
through the hands of the board. The
petitions and other papers In tho
Adams case did not reach the executiy We
officers until Sunday.
Following the usual custom, Cover
nor Hey ward immediately forwarded
them to the solicitor. The latter be.
Ing out OF tho state, 10 was impossible
that he should examine the pape,
decide upon his recommendation ant
return them In time for tho board O,
pardons to take action In the csse al
the meeting which convened Wednes
day. The papers are still In the solioi
tors HANDS.
In view Of these facts, and being
disposed to givs the condemned mar
every chance, the board Of pardons
unanimously passed q resolution re.
quostipg Governor Hey ward TO order
Adams respited until February %.
Between that time and now 1t is hop.

Former State Senator Peurifoy was
there Wednesday to appear before the
board In opposition TO the petitions,
should these come up. When inform.

he would not object to q respite until
the papers could be had. In this case
the action of Governor Hayward was
similar to that In the Henderson
case, which is fresh In the public

FATTENING CHICKENS.

The fattening of chickens can be
fastened in many ways, but the part
grain diet is the safest method. II
only a small number of fowls are to
be 'fattened, quick results can often
be obtained by feeding them on baked
johnny cake or corn meal, with an
occasional scrap. of beef containing
fat, or pork cracklings. It would be
too much trouble to feed large mum.
bersof chickens on such diet. Heavy
mash feeding exclusively should not
be tried by novices, as the fowls are
often not in condition to stand it.
Tt doesn't pay, as a general rule, to
try to fatten old hens. When they
have completed their service for you.
it is better to dispose of them at once.
If it is desired to fatten old hens, how,
ever. they should be confined closely
and fed a ration similar to that they
received when laying. If more corn
and meat foods are added, be careful
not to give them too much, as old hens
cannot stand as much heating food as
young chicks, says Journal OF Agrt
culture.

IE SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
RJJH DING.
SOME

Prof. w. R. Graham, of the Ontario
Agricultural College, who has been at
the head Of the poultry experiments
for number of years, lays down some
very pertinent points in building poul-
try houses and in the inside arrange
ment 1t is his opinion that every
hen should have at least six square
feet of floor space and that each blrd
of the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte and
such breeds, require about nine inches
Of perch room; Leghorns, etc., about
eight inches; Brahmas, ten inches
Roosts should be made low and near
the ground. The reasons are tnat
heavier breeds cannot fly up on n1gn
roosts and lighter breeds frequently
iniure the soles of their feet in jump
ing from high perches. When drop
ping boards are used they should be
moderately low down to admit OF
cleaning. They should be made OF
matched lumber and should be twenty
inches wide for one roost and three
feet for two perches, the first being
placed eight or ten inches from the
wall. Most poultrymen like perches
two inches square with the corners
slightly rounded.
Nests are usually made from ten
to twelve inches square. Ground floors
are more in favor than board noofs
and cost less Houses with straw
loft are cool in summer and dry in
winter
