Bee Culture.

ALTHOUGH there is no fortune to be
expected In bee culture, the business Is
one Of profit. The raising of bees is
one of the most interesting of pastimes
and also one that pays well for the in
vestment. Honey is, perhaps, the pur-
est and richest Of all sweets and should
be found on every farm. OF course.
farmers cannot be expected to main
tain large apiaries, though they should
always have few hives What is not
consumed on the farm can always be
sold.
Half dozen or so colonies of bees
In well-arranged hives Is sufficient to
begin the bee business. In fact, they
are about what the average farmer
should keep. Before embarking in the
business, however. it is advisable to
become posted as much as possible.
This can be done by studying books
and papers on bee culture and by visit.

who knows the business.

ant that the grower should select five
or ten of his very best plants and let
them go to seed. From 20 to so differ
ent types of kale plants have been
grown from one small packet OF COM
mercial seed, the majority, however,
are worthless. To get good seed the
grower must select a good parent plant;
those of good size, weighing from 4O
to so pounds each, with medium siz-
ed, smooth green leaves, the main
stem branching out close to the ground
into innumerable stems and leaves IN
all stages of growth. Only plants
which go through the severest frosts
without any injury should be selected.
These plants selected during the first
year should be transplanted early In
the spring the second year in some
fertile spot where they will not be
cross pollinated by other kale plants,
wild turnips, rape, mustard and similar
c'osely related plants. The seed will
be formed this second year and should
be harvested when the plant has dried
out and the seeds are brown and thresh-
ed out by hand over canvass. One
good plant will furnish sufficient seed
for about an acre of kale plants.
A report of your success or failure
in growing kale, with a description of
your method and conditions, would be
greatly appreciated by this station.
Kindly address such report to the De-
partment of Agronomy, Oregon Agri-
cultural college, Corvallis, Oregon.

Airing the Eggs.

Many beginners do not understand
why the eggs in the incubator should
not be turned or aired after the eigh-
teenth day. The reason is that at this
time the chicks are getting ready to
pip" the shells, and they shape them
selves around so as to pip on the up
per side of the shell first. Should the
eggs be moved when the chicks are
about to hatch the bill may be torn.
The fluid will naturally flow to the
opening and dry them there, holding
the chicks head tight 1t does not
take long to shut of life in this condi
ton.

To ensure rapid healing In the plant
after pruning 1t is necessary that all
wounds should be left smooth. II II is
necessary to use a saw in removing a
large limb the cut surface should be
left smooth asd clean. particularly
around the edges. The sharper the saw
the cleaner will the cut be and this
should In turn be made smoother by
the use OF a pruning knife or sharp

quicker and progresses more rapidly
