Water for the Bees.


Give the bees plenty of water. They
need a great deal and will fly long
distance to get 1t.
II there is no running stream or
lake Of pure water near it is well to
place pail Of fresh water near the
apairy every day.
Bees use water to dilute the heavy,
thick honey left over from winter to
make 1t suitable for the young larvae
and also to make the cell wax pilable.
Bees should be protected from the
wind on the north and west by close
set hedge or high fence.
All the weeds should be kept down
In front Of the hives. Now plot 6
feet wide and then cut the weeds and
grass close to the ground with a hoe.
An hour once a week spent on the
care of the bees will bring larger re-
turns for the effort than any other
labor on the farm.
A newspaper man in Chicago, who
lives few miles out Ia the country,
last year sold 1925 worth of honey to
three big hotels. He says he did not
spend more than an hour a week look
Ing after his bees during the season.

Raising Pigs.

The cheapest way to put gains on
young pigs is through the SOW. She
has strong digestion and can turn
coarse grains and pasture into easily
digested milk. Careful experiments
show that pound Of weight taken
from the SOW will make more than /
pound Of gain on the pigs, the flesh
Of the young animals containing more
water. The SOW should be fed to pro-
duce a high milk yield, and the pigs
should be kept with her until they get
to eating full feed Of grain and pas
ture,

Alfalfa Planting.

1t should not be forgotten that the
spring is the proper time to prepare
the alfalfa crop that is to be planted
next fall. The ground which is ex.
pected to be used for this crop should
not be planted to small grain; neither
should corn precede alfalfa, because
the ground will not be kept free OF
weeds and grass. The best prepara-
tory crop for alfalfa is COW peas; then
after the vines are removed or plowed
under the ground should be well
broken and kept clean of weeds and
grass by surface cultivation until 1t
is seeded in alfalfa the following fall
Peanuts may be grown instead of COW
peas, II the crop is considered more
desirable, as 1t is perhaps, but they
must be kept well cultivated and es-
pecially allow no earth grass to grow

CLIMATE MADE IN FRANCE.
Means of Providing Paris Vegetables
Weeks Ahead of Season.

Means of Providing Paris Vegetables
Weeks Ahead of Season.
The gardeners of Paris get their
products on the market weeks before
the regular season for them. This
forcing of nature is described by Ern-
est Poole in Success Magazine.
The secret is simply this: The
French maraichers have manufactured
climate to suit them. AS one OBJ
serves has said, 'They have moved
the climate of Monte Carlo up to the
suburbs of Paris"
Some new prodigy of modern sci
ence, this? Not at all. Only enor-
nous expense in money and in time.
The gardens, whenever possible, are
placed on land with slope to the
south, and are well protected by the
walls on the north and east-walls
built to reflect light as we'll as to give
protection from the northeast winds.
The ground is practically covered
with glass, not as in a greenhouse but
by glass frames in the open, three
light" frames of uniform size, IL by
Az feet and also by glass bells.
These, too, are of a uniform size,
about the shape of chapel bell, a lit
tie less than IL inches In diameter and
from Ia to Is inches high. The French
call them cloches. You may often see
over thousand frames and over ten
thousand glass bells in one two-acre
plot in the suburbs Of Paris.
A more recent innovation is the en-
ployment of hot-water pipes run un-
der the soil, making of the earth a
veritable steam-heated hotel, with, this
essential difference, that the hotel
keeper here is desperately eager, not
to keep his guests, but to persuade
them to leave on the earliest possible
day.

little beef scraps to the food. In the
course Of two weeks whole wheat can
be given. This is the dry method Of
feeding, which is coming into vogue
quite extensively. Here is another
method of feeding: Mix dry two parts
of corn meal, one part Of finely ground
wheat bran and one part of beef
scraps. After they are thoroughly
mixed add boiling water in sufficient
quantity to make stiff dough. Cover
the vessel and let 1t cook. Feed the
dough warm or cold, but never hot

for several seasons the land washes
but little and the vines grow better
and bear betterd. The cow peas make
sufficient cover, so one does not get
into the mud when pruning in wet
weather in late winter or early spring.
Whether grown in the orchard or vine
yard the peas should usually be plow-
ed under the following spring. In this
way they protect the soil without los.

ing value.

BIG GAME PRESERVE.
Sanctuary for Mountain Goat and
Grizzly in British Columbia.

Nv proclamation of the Lieutenant
Governor and Executive Council of
British Columbia. dated November l.,
1908, there was created a grand sane
tuary for the mountain goat. mountain
sheep, elk, mule deer and other impor-
tant wild animals of the East Kootenay
district of that province. The initial
act, as published officially in 1.-The Brit
ish Columbia Gazette" takes the form
of an order proclaiming an absolute
closed season for ten years from NO
vember Il, 1908, throughout an area the
boundaries of which are specially de-
fined. It's southern line is siNty-three
miles north Of the international boun-
diary, and it's eastward boundary, Elk
Iliver, is fifteen miles from the western
boundary Of Alberta, on the summit of
the continental divide.
The total area of the region which
thus becomes an absolute game pre-
serve is about $50 square miles. Rough
~ speaking, it is shaped like two
squares that overlap each other at the
southwestern corner of one and the
northwestern corner of the other. They
include about three-fourths of the ter
ritory between the Elk and Bull rlv-
ers, already known to the public as the
proposed Goat Mountain park TO
which an extensive tract of elk ami
deer breeding grounds has been added
on the northwest, on the head waters
of White River and its tributary
creeks.
1t is reasonably certain that in the
whole of the grand mountain regions
of Southern British Columbia there
cannot be found an equal area which
is at once SO finely equipped with pic
turcsque mountain and valley scenery
and so richly stocked with grand game.
1t is undoubtedly the centre of herd
concentration of the white mountain
goat, the number of which is estimated
by competent sportsmen and guides, at
about one thousand head. OF mountain
sheep there is also an abundant stock.
conservative estimate placing the
| total at not less than two hundred
head. Grizzly bears are abundant in
| the higher ranges, and it is safe to es-
| innate the total number at from forty
| to fifty individuals. Elk are yet scarce
| and so are mule deer, both of these
| species having been shot almost to the
point of determination before the eX-
| listing elk protection law was enacted.
1t now seems certain that from this
time henceforth all the large game
species of the protected area will stead
lily and rapidly increase. Besides pro-
viding for the perpetual preservation Of
the picturesque goat and the lordly
sheep-both of them species that would
be easily exterminated unless protected

new reserve will perpetually stock the

ARCTIC TEMPLE OF ICE.

Amid the bleak, icy deserts of Green

Tennessee is in for statewide prohi-
bition. In spite of the governors veto,
the legislature has passed the new law
over the veto and another state is
added to the frightening dry column.
Under the earlier system of county
option most of Tennessee has been
dry for several years, but in the large
cities the liquor business was still IL
censed, particularly in Nashville, Chat
tanooga and Memphis. Now prohibit
ton applies to these cities as well as
to all other parts of the State. AL
though the murder of Carmack did not
grow out of the liquor fight, still there
is no doubt that his tragic death was
a leading factor in bringing about the
triumph of the statewide policy. He
was strong advocate of total prohibit
ton and his murder raised up null
titude of new friends for the cause he
advocated.

Hittites were on an equal footing with
Babylon and Egypt as the three great
Powers of the world, and held In their
hands the balance Of peace or war.
The Biblical reference to the Hittltes
pointed to their being confederacy
OF kingdoms, and agreed with the Egg
ptan evidence in the suggestion that
as early, at least, as the days of the
patriarchs the Hittites were mix
ing and mingling with the ma
tive population of Syria as far
south as Hebron and on the
frontiers OF Egypt. In the course
of the 1907 tour important sculptures
and other monuments were discovered
in Boghaz Keui and added to the grow
ing mass of evidence of the high state
or artistic culture reached by the Hit
tiles in their prime.
This had been still more strikingly
demonstrated in the work at SakJl-
Geuzi last autumn, for on excavatinS
one OF the many mounds there the ex-
plorers discovered temple In excel
lent preservation and series of scui-
ptures. AS these had not been ex-
posed to the weather. the inscriptions
and carvings were much clearer and
more distinct than any such monu-
ments of Hitties art previously dis
covered Although found in what was
in Hltties times only provincial city,
the sculptures compared favorably
with even the best Egyptian reliefsN
Special attention was paid to the de-
sirability of securing a clear strait

proof was afforded by the sectional ex-
amples of pottery that art culture was
DEVELOPED in the locality through many
centuries from primitive neoltnc
times right to the end of the Hlttlte
day of power. Excavation was almost
confined to the smallest series OF
mounds, but soundings were made In
other mounds with view to ascertain
ing whether they would repay excava-
ton. They proved to be all artificial
and full of objects of historical and
archaeological interest. He. therefcSe,
looked forward to 10 or Is years sea-
sonal work, calculated to throw much
light on the great Hittite problem.
He cherished the hope that some of
tie inscriptions would be bi-llngual,
and would thus open the door to an
understanding of the Hittite charac-
tiers, thereby providing students with

ture
In the course of the discussion DR..
T. Pinches said that there was reason
to believe that the discoveries already
made, and those which might be ex-
pected at the hands of Professor Car

show how important part the Hit
tiles played in the history of the
world in their day.
