Give the bees plenty Of water. They
need a great deal and will fly long
distance TO get It.
II there Is no running stream or
lake of pure water near 1t is well to
place a 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 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 a few miles out In the country,
last year sold s225 worth OF honey to
three big hotels. He says he did not
spend more than an hour a week look.

Value of a Small stream.

An interesting example of the value
OF small stream for light and power
purposes may be found near Sacra.
mento. Cal. A trout stream has been
damned up and the power in the form
OF electricity has been used for doing
such light work as washing and iron.
ing, also for cooking and lighting In
the home of the owner AS the stream
is very small during the dry months,
an old miners ditch has been damned
TO form reservoir Of 100000 cubic
feet capacity. The plant cost sl,5OO
and in a single year has done $500
worth of work.

Alfalfa Planting.

II 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 we'll
broken and kept clean of weeds and
grass by surface cultivation until It
Is seeded In alfalfa the following fall.
Peanuts may be grown instead OF COW
peas. IL 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
in the crop.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Methods of increasing Crop Outpu.
viii Be Discussed.
The Dry Farming congress is now
organized. with some persistency anc
determination to be heard from in the
matter of urging its claims upon the
attention Of the public. The faith tha,
the promoters and operators of this
association have in their claims of dr.,
farming methods, we'll carried out
cannot be questioned, says the editol
Of the Twentieth Century Farmer. Tn,
experiences and results of careful an,
persistent work in crop growing efforts
are the evidence that is offered in tes
timony Of the feasibility of dry farm
ing methods and dry farming as an in
dustry.
1t is not surprising that there ar,
the doubtful, the skeptical, the unbe
lever In converting the dry land of tn,
arid West to agricultural purposes, the
growing of crops. the cultivation O.
orchards and forests, the establishing
of homes and the building up of com.
mercial interests and industries OF
these lands; we say that it is not sur.
prising that some hesitate, that they
doubt the availability of sufficient
moisture to grow crops; that they fcre.
cast seasons Of drouth. etc. All these
things had their period and have exert.
ed their influence to discourage anc
prejudice the mind of the public as the
settlement of the country has pro-
gressed westward for the last fifty
years, and yet cultivation has been the
civilizing influence that has conquered
drouth, hot winds and the barrenness
Of the plains and prairie countries that
are now the dependence in production.
The Fourth Dry Farming congress
will hold its meeting at Billings. Mon
tana, October 26, q and 2s, 1909.
This will not only be an institute foi
dry farming farmers and dry farming
instructors and teachers, but it will be
an exposition of dry farming products
such as this or no other country has
ever witnessed. There are pledged al.
ready exhibits from thirteen Western
states that are engaged in dry farming
work. The organization by states, to
show what each is doing and capable
Of doing in the raising of grain and
vegetable crops, without irrigation, is
a feature never before undertaken in
this district and promises some great
surprises for visitors.
The area of tillable lands in the
United States not yet turned to culti-
vatioa is comparatively small, snd un-
der present conditions of demand by
the homesteader will last but few
more years at most. 1t is only the part
Of good business judgment that the
dry farming districts be investigated
by those who contemplate getting
home under the free homestead law.
Good lands and the best locations will
be the first taken. Each year will re-
duce the quality Of lands to be disposed
Of as government homesteads.
The Dry Farming congress will be
q good place to visit next October, in
view of getting dry farming informa-
tion and dry farms on which to put it

gress announces that there are 200,-

Raising Pigs.

The cheapest way to put gains on
young pigs is through the SOW. She
has a strong digestion and can turn
coarse grains and pasture into easily
digested milk. Careful experiments
show that a 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 a full feed OF grain and pas
ture.

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 a stiff dough. Cover
the vessel and let 1t cook. Feed the
