A Useful Appliance for the Bee Yard

But we have used the cage to very
good advantage in catching swarms
just coming out. One or two of them
are kept handy in the yard and if a
swarm is seen coming out, one of
these cages is clapped Immediately
over the hive from which it is coming.
Even If some of the bees have gone
out they will soon come back and
cluster around outside while the rest
of their companions are clustered in.
side
In the drawing here shown 1t will be
observed that the swarm is clustered
on top of the cage. AS soon as they
are all out, the cage and all is picked
up at the intersection of the cross
pieces at the top, set over the hive
ready to receive them, when the cage
is given jounce on the ground. A
little later on it is given another bump
until the bees have entered their new
home.
OF course, this method of catching
a swarm just as it is coming out is
not new; but sometimes old things
need to be resurrected until prospec-
tive users begin to see their value.
This cage is one of the new old devices
that should be made up for next sea.

Corn charred in the oven is both good

Farmer.
Hens that have become 100 fat will
get reduced to the laying point quicker
on a diet of oats and lean meat than
on any other diet.
In seasoning mashes a teaspoonful
of salt to quart of mash is about the
right proportion. On very cold days
little pepper acts as a tonic, but II
should not be given every day.
Good ensilage is good feed for
chickens. Only the amount the hens
eat up clean should be given each
day. Tankage is not to be depended

uNDERFEEDlNe CHICKENS.
Such Mistake is as Bad II Not
Worse Than Overlooking.

Underfeeding chickens is as bad as
overfeeding. 1t is impossible for
chickens to lay we'll without the corn
crib cross" There are years when
barns and granaries are full to over
flowing and the chickens become too
fat for profit; there are poor years
when every ear of corn almost is
counted, every ounce of grain care
fully measured, 1t seems, when there
is very slim picking for the farm
chickens on range. The only way to
find out whether the chickens are get
ting enough feed at night is to either
offer them more or to feel their crops
on the roost. All through the day the
hen should scratch for her living, but
at night she should go to bed with
full crop. In cold weather there is no
better night feed than corn. Coarsely
cracked and thrown into litter about
three o'clock in the afternoon the
hens have healthy exercise in getting
their supper, and will not be injured
by having a good big one. The morn
ing feed, says Wallace's Farmer,
should vary, ringing the changes on
wheat, oats. barley and any other
grains procurable. If practicable to
give a noon meal let it be of green
food, cabbage, turnips, mangels, any
good green food, or lacking roots keep
poultry netting bag or pocket of
clover or alfalfa hay before them.
The amount of hay chickens will eat
is surprising. Beef scrap, fresh cut
bone, milk, cottage cheese or animal
food of some kind is essential for the
health of the hens and good egg
yield. No poultry breeder would think
of emitting good sharp grit and most
successful poultry breeders have come
to recognize the Importance of char
coal as we'll
We rob ourselves when we overfeed
our chickens; We rob the chickens as
we'll as ourselves when we underfeed.
Let us give them enough to live on
comfortably, whether We provide
enough to lay eggs ON or not.

MAKE ONE FOR YOURSELF.
The Value OF swarm-c Catching Cage
In a Honey-Yard.

AS 1t is getting toward the season of
the year when bee-keepers will seek to
make certain appliances for next sea-
sons use, take pleasure in showing a
useful device which almost any one
can make, says Il. r. Root, in Bee Cul-
ture. 1t is neither more nor less than
a wire-cloth cage of sufficient size to
slip over the largest hive in the yard.
Wire cloth or mosquito netting is
nailed onto q light framework of the
construction shown.
1t sometimes happens that a colony
is suddenly attacked by robbers. A
cage like this can be set down over
the hive trap all the robbers, and pre-
vent any more from getting in at the
entrance. The inmates of the hive
will, If outside, cluster around the out
side of the cage. 1t may be left over
the colony until night, when the rob-
bers may be destroyed or taken to
an outyard; for to let these bees loose
back into the same yard will only in
vite trouble for the next day.

RAISING DUCKS.
Case in Point Where They Did Better
Without Water.

We confess that after raising ducks
in small way for three years we can
not satisfactorily say whether it is
profitable to raise ducks without CIV
ing them access to water. This year
We raised them without letting them
have access 20 water excepting for
drinking purposes. During the sum-
mers of 1906 and 1907 we raised 200
Mammoth Pekins and the youngsters
took to the water within 1S hours
after being taken from the incubator
or within "a hours after the old hen
came off the nest with them.
The water, small stream, was
within 800 yards of the Matching
place and every duck, with one ac-
cord, took bee line for 1t, says a
writer in Farm and Home. We had
good luck with them. This year we
kept watch of the youngsters for sew
eral weeks, keeping them away from
the water. In a few weeks they
would range around the feed within
20 PAGES of the brook but have never
taken a swim. We have the Pekin
and the Indian Runner breeds, and for
the past 60 days or more they have
grazed in the pasture, often going al
most to the edge of the brook.
They seem to be perfectly healthy
and content, and we have not lost a
duck by disease, nor had any sick or
ailing. After eating, they go through
all the motions of a swim, dipping
themselves, and going through the mo-
tions as if they were in the water.
We like ducks because they are so
healthy and so easily controlled. We
aim to market the Pekins at ten
weeks old, and expect such ducks to
average fully five pounds or over. To
reach these figures they must not have
too much range or too much exercise.
1t seems to me that the breeding
ducks should have free access to wa
ter. l believe the eggs will be more
fertile, and the ducks healthier and
stronger.

Pure Breeds for the Farm,

The farmer who buys a trio of birds
pays more than their value for them
when he is particular about points"
1t is true that the points are necessary.
as they preserve the breeds, and no
farmer should purchase a Plymouth
Rock possessing feathered legs or a
rose comb, for such birds would not be
pure; but he should not pay five dol
lars for bird because its comb had
five points instead of six, provided the
bird was true to its breed. What the
farmer should do is to insii on having
a strong and vigorous bird when he
buys one, giving full attention TO all
the points that insure purity, and over
look any trivial defects that may an.
pear important in the show room, but
which may not injure the bird for
breeding purposes. Further, the far
mer should not write the breeder to
send him bird that is wanted for
breeding, receiving it at low cost,
and then condemn the breeder because
the bird is not one that will win in a
SHOW room.

Her Loqic.

Anna Margaret had a great many

ought to give some Of them away be-
fore Christmas to less fortunate chill
dren. Anna Margaret was willing to
part with the broken trunk and the
cracked set Of dishes and the one
legged Teddy bear, and few other
toys that were in the same dilapidated
condition. But when it came to her
pet baby doll, the one that went to
sleep with her every night, she re-
belled. Mother assured her that Santa
Claus would undoubtedly bring her an
other doll, even better; but she re-
fused to be comforted.

Aunt Jessie another baby, would she
give Baby Jean away?" She kept her
doll.-Harper's Bazaar.
