PROFIT in BEES
ON The farm

To get the very best results from
bee keeping one should provide liber-
ally for the bees; that Is, the bees
should have plenty of room when
needed, and have plenty of stores to
feed upon, II not provided with stores
to be fed, because no colony Of bees
will breed up rapidly and have plenty
Of bees when the honey season opens
unless they have plenty Of stores to
raise young bees upon. If they have
to wait until they can gather new
honey before breeding up to have
large numbers Of bees, the first honey
season is half or more gone before the
bees are ready TO do much.
The eight-frame hive may be large
enough for the bees to commence al
the beginning Of the season, but just
as soon as they get well to work, they
should be supplied with another super
so as to make plenty Of room. This
would be what is called full two
story hive; the supers are only hall
bodies, that is just one-half as deeI
as is the regular brood chamber.
Honey should be well ripened befor'
taking It of. Honey when first gath
cred is thin and watery, but if left il
the hive until the bees evapOrate tn
honey down until it Is thick, it is thel
well ripened and as good as it vii
ever be.
Bees should never be placed in Al
empty hive, but If one does not hav

course could be followed by other
school boards with profit.
At a meeting of the school board
held yesterday afternoon to let the
contracts for the furniture for the
new high school annex an important
subject was introduced at the close of
the business meeting the financial
strain which the present modern
graduation exercises now entail on
the parents of the graduates and
under graduates, it being estimated
that the cost of graduation this year
would amount to more than $50 for
each girl.
1t was brought out that few lead
ers of the class each. year, who may
be financially able, set standard of
entertaining, dressing and gift giving
so elaborate that the average parent
cannot afford it, yet pride in their
children and the just desire to have
them appear equal to others on this
most important occasion, of their
school days, causes them to submit to
the expense.
1t was the sentiment of the entire
board that stringent rules chould be
made to govern this feature of the
school life and the subject was taken
under consideration to be reported
upon in detail at the next meeting,
when Superintendent Meek will be
given specific instructions for future
graduations.
In this connection a representative
from the Statesman interviewed sew
eral Of the graduates this year and
the most conservative estimate WOULD
place the cost at more than $50. Each
graduate has to have a graduating

Dry Farming Congress.

The fourth Dry Farming Congress
will meet at Billings, Mont, October
rs, q and %, 1909.
The International Exposition of Dry
Farm Products will be held during
Congress week at Billings. Thirteen
western states and territories. two
Canadian provinces, Mexico and Rus
STA will send exhibits.
Seventeen states and ten foreign
countries will have delegates at this
Congress-.
In the west 100000, 900 acres of ar
able land waits development by Dry
Farming methods. Texas has $4,000
900; Montana, Colorado and Wyoming
100000; New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Utah, idaho and Arizona, over 6O,OOO,-
| 900.
Experts estimate that In ten years
every drop of water available for ir-
rigation will be utilized. For every
| acre irrigated there will be so acres
of dry farm land when irrigation pos
sibilities are exhausted. Experience
shows that non-irrigable land yields
crops averaging so per cent the Quanti-
| ty reaped under irrigation. To this land

In 1900 dry farm land in the west
averaged fifty cents to $50 an acre.
Increased valuation where dry farm
ing has been demonstrated shows that
within ten years this 20O,000,O 900 acres
will be held at $40 to $50 an acre. Dry
farming means an increase in western
land values, at a conservative esti-
mate, of approximately five billion dol
lars.
The Dry Farming congress teaches
farmers how to conserve moisture by
intelligent cultivation, educates them
in soil culture and seed selection and
guides inexperienced settlers In meth
DDS that bring them their share OF the
harvest profit. 1t extends the limit Of
producing area to the limit Of acreage
in arid and semi-arid regions and
therefore, lis the keystone upon which
the future prosperity OF the great wes'

very light wowrk at first and do not
keep her in the harness more than an
hour or two at time for the first few
days. By no means work her so hard
that she becomes overheated, for ex-
cessive heating of the blood will not
only injure the mare, but will be very
liable to derange the digestion of her
colt.
The good mother mare will be very
solicitous about the welfare of her
little baby colt, and will manifest
many signs of anxiety and nervous
ness. Treat her gently when she
shows these signs, and do not aggra-
vate the nervousness. If the colt is
! not with her at the watering trough,
see to it that she drinks all she needs.
Often she will take sip of water and
indicate a desire to return to the
stable. Keep her to the trough till
you are positively satisfied that she
has drunk enough. Make her feel in
every way that you can that her
baby is safe under your treatment,
and that it will always be awaiting
her when she returns to the stable.
If, on leaving the stable, she appears
very nervous about the colt, take her
back to the stable door or window
and allow her to see it and smell of it
once again, to tell it goodbye, SO to
speak. This is small matter, but it
will help to satisfy her far better than
scolding or whipping.
Do not forget that the mare with a
colt at her side has double demand
for feed, and that much of the feed
must go to make milk for the colt
This means that her feed shall be
richer in protein than that of the or.
binary work horse. Timothy hay and
corn are good feeds for furnishing

car, the horse holds his own, and is in
greater demand than ever. The di-
versified farm is not complete without
colts and other young live stock con-
tinually coming on.
The little colt is some trouble, but
it pays. One gains general experience
in handling the mare and foal. Let
the mare have complete rest for a
week or ten days after the arrival of
the foal. When the weather is fine
turn them in a lot or pasture by them
selves for summing and exercise.
There is nothing like direct sunshine
for young colts. They will lie down
in a sunny place in the meadow and
sleep and grow. They, too, need exer-
else as much as they need feed. The
colt is to develope into horse for do
ing muscular work, and every means
should be taken to secure full devel-
opment of it's young muscles. Regu-
ular daily exercise is what counts in
physical training, either with beasts
or man.
When the mare is put to work,
some will find it best to allow the
colt to follow the mare, and some to
keep the colt shut up. In most cases
we think it best not to allow the colt
to follow the mare, as it is bother
in working, and the colt is often com.
PEELED to exercise more than is gooC
for it. The colt viii soon be satisfied
to stay at home, and in doing so il
will not tramp down crops and delay
work, but will have plenty of time tt
rest and sleep, as every young col
needs.
When the mare is put to work afte,
the colt is born, remember that she 1

not only gives the bees a good start,
but gets all the combs straight and
also keeps the bees from building
drone combs. If many drones are in a
hive, one need not expect much, II any,
honey from that hive, as the drones
will eat It up. We know that few will
buy foundation, thinking that the bees
can provide for themselves, but these
parties do not seem to know that il
would be the very best thing for them
to have provided for the bees, and sc

juniors are to give the seniors next

gestion may be made that it is no

line at the next meeting.

CONDITIONS
On MARS

With plannet so old as Mars and
so far along in the process Of life ex-
tinction the conditions of life would be
severe, and only a highly intellectual
and scientifically developed race could
endure and master them. The engi-
neering skill and constructive capa-
city to control the annual floods from
the poles, store the waters and build
the thousands of miles of huge canals
would require scientific knowledge be-
yond that possessed by us at the pres
ent time and financial resources in ex-
cess of those we have yet accumulat-
| ed. The nation that finds the digging
of ditch at Panama so great task
task would be helpless in the face of
such problem as these thousands of
niles of Marian canals, if, indeed, ca
nails they be. Yet in view of the
greater life age of Mars, such higher
intelligence would be natural in the
regular process of development, as
Stunning that it has ever been the abode
of intellectual life.
Scientists are in the main in a re-
ceptive state on this subject. They
are not ready to admit that the exist
ence of life on that planet has been
proved. They do not deny it, but call
for greater proof than plausible the
DRY. Among others than scientists
there is in the main disposition not
to accept the Marian human life
theory or the theory of life on any of
the thousands of spheres that wheel
and glisten in illimitable space. They
seem to think that such theory con-
flicts with religion and dwarfs man
and his Importance in the scheme of
creation.
This seems to be a very narrow
view to take, since it appears to set
bounds upon the intimate power and
creative desires of the Almighty,
whose great scheme of mortal and inn
mortal life is not necessarily confined
to single planet or the few billions
of human beings who are born and
die upon it. AS to dwarfing the i'm
portance of man, few billions more
added to the billions on earth would
make little difference. Man is at best
a small and insignificant creature, but
if all embracing wisdom, power and
love takes solicitous note of him il
would be limiting those infinite quail
tiles to say that one plannet must b.
his abiding place. Therefore tn,
question of human intelligence Of
Mars or any other planet of the sofa
system or the other great systems il
remote space should be purely ant
simply a scientific one, to be accepte'
as true only when proved, but not t.
be rejected through sentiment or TO
any other reason whatever, excep
lack of proof-St. Louis Star.

energy for doing work, but they are
too highly carbonaceous for milk pro-
duction. Feed the mother mare some
clover hay, oats, shorts, wheat bran'
linseed meal or cotton seed meal, to-
gether with corn. Allow her green
gress frequently for variety, and to
keep her boyels loose, for the condl-
ton of the mare will nearly always
react upon the condition of the colt.
Keep the mare in good flesh, free
from fever by free action of the bow
els. and the colt will be likely to re
main in good health and grow.
Just as soon as the colt shows signs
of being able to eat and to nibole at
all kinds of feeds, encourage it to eat
and provide it with suitable feed
Give it only very small amounts al
first, preferably green grass, and pro-
vide a separate feed box for 1T IN the
stable. A very small amount Of feed
will not only help it, but will help to
relieve the burden of nourishment
from the mare. If she is not fur
nished enough milk for the full needs
of the colt the extra feed will help II
to grow and not become stunted.
Give the young colt a good start
and keep it growing and it will de
velop into splendid animal. Their
is as much in the feed and care a
there is in the breed.-Journal o

have known of some that have neg
lected to procure needed supplies until
they needed them badly, and not being
able to get them as soon as needed
suffered quite loss in honey on that
account.
We doubt if there is anything one
has on farm that will pay as well
for the investment as do bees, as they
are not only needed to well fertilize
fruit bloom but pay immensely in hon
ey also; it may be from 200 to 500 per
cent on the investment and then have
all the first investment one started
with and increase obtained besides.
We know that on account of the very
high price of lumber supplies are
higher in price than they used to be,
but for this very reason one keeping
bees should have the best results from
keeping bees, and so make out of it a
good return for any investment one
may have in keeping them. We have
hives we have had over twenty years.

take care of the fixtures after the
