FEEDING BEES IN THE SPRING
Greatest Secret of Successful Bee
keeping Is to Keep the Colo
MES Strong.

The greatest secret about beekeep-
ing is to keep your colonies strong.
Watch them in the spring, and do not
let them die for want OF little at
tention. Sometimes you can help a
dwindling colony by taking them in
time and giving them a little assist
ance from other colonies. If some OF
the colonies are light in bees they
may be strengthened by occasionally
giving a frame Matching brood from
some strong colony which Will suf-
fer no injury from the loss of 1t. But
this, even, must be done cautiously
and no old bees carried from one hive
TO another, as that Is one of the
easiest ways to start robbing.
To get all colonies in this prime
condition, the bee-keeper most years
will be forced to resort to feeding. II
pays at any time to feed bees to keep
them from starving and It pays bet
ter to keep them in good condition
The colony that goes through the sea
son in poor condition will more than
likely prove failure. SO far as gath
ering honey is concerned.
All colonies should be fed separate
ly by the use of feeders or some
method suitable for feeding within
the hive.

A Warning to Boys

The following news item from the
Henderson Ky.) Cleaner is a timely
warning TO boys:
A Cleaner want adj placed young
man in line for position at M. M.
Levy's drug store, but the coveted
plum was snatched away from him
when almost within his grasp because
of rolling a cigarette while awaiting a
consultation with Mr.. Levy. The boy
was one of dozen who answered the
adj, and as he was a well dressed and
manly looking fellow, Mr.. Levy was
very much impressed with his appear
ance. The proprietor was busy just
then, and excused himsels, asking the
boy to wait a few minutes until he
could talk with him. In the meantime
the boy dragged from his pocket pack
age of tobacco and papers and rolled a
cigarette. On coming up to him Mr..
Levy said, "Young man, you will
never do. That thing in your hand
referring to the cigarette) has cost you
your job With down cast look the
boy left the store.
The day is fast coming when young
man must leave cigarettes alone if he
expects TO secure position which will
pay him profitable remuneration as his
wages.

How They Do 1t in Battle Creek.

Battle Creek has had many surprises
since local option was put to a vote,
carried, and put into effect, but the
climax was reached Thursday, when
Municipal Judge Fl. IL. Baldorh' sent
four men, arrested for drunkenness, to
Jail, Baldorfi explained that he would
fine no men arrested for drunkenness
in this 'sdry land, but will hand out
Jail sentences instead.
One OF the four men sentenced Thurs
day, Howard Cole, Of Brooklyn, y. y,
had pocket full of bills, but they
were ignored, despite Coles plea that
he was passenger on a train passing
through Battle Creek and got off by
ccident, being too drunk TO know that
he was in 'the desert.

NEW WAY TO PLANT TREES.
Proper Manner in Which TO Plant
Trees to Induce Fresh Root
Formation.

II is an article of faith among fruit
growers that fruit tree must be
planted in properly prepared soil. a
large, wide shallow hole, the roots
carefully spread out in all directions
and arranged near the surface with a
slight upward bearing at the end.
Small quantities of the finer soil
are first worked in among the roots,
hollow places caused by archings in
the stouter roots are filled up, the re-
mainder of the soil is put in, trodden
carefully down and the whole left to
the compacting influence of the rain.
The tree is supported by stakes until
it is firmly established.
Spencer u. Pickering. with his re-
cent researches, declares that proper
tree planting means a small hole,
roots doubled up anyhow, the trees
stuck in, the soil thrown in and
rammed down as for gate post. With
extensive experiments SO per cent.
show in favor of the new simple meth
cd, q show no difference and IA per
cent. show against the new way BY
whatever criterion the trees are
gagged the new method is said to give
better results than the orthodox. AL
though an antagonistic cry has been
raised against the revolution theory
no practical man has been able to
give any reason for the old faith that
is In him beyond the fact that II is
sanctioned by established custom.
Examination proves that ramming
has led to copious development of
fibrous roots. In planting the impor-
tant thing is to induce fresh root for
nation and ramming does this more
rapidly than the old way

were employed to make very thor

be capable Of producing better

time no development work could be
undertaken by reason of the lack OF
transportation facilities, but with the
building of the Chesapeake & ohios
