Give the bees plenty Of water. They
need great deal and will fly a long
distance to get 1t.
If there is no running stream or
lake of pure water near it is well to
place pail of fresh water near the

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.

wind on the north and west by close

Alfalfa Planting.

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 prepare
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, if the crop is considered more
desirable, as 1t Is perhaps, but they
must be kept we'll cultivated and es-
pecially allow no earth grass to grow

Cow Peas for Vineyards.


Cow peas are good crop for vine
yards. The grapes are given thorough
cultivation until late June, when the
cow peas are sown. Before this prac-
tice was begun, says the Farmers and
Drovers' Journal, 1t was a problem to
hold the soil about the roots of the
vines. After cropping with COW peas
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,

Why then do you not realize what a

should THEIR valuab e property

would be sacrificed to pay debt
YOU are your family's most valuable

of course YOU don't expect to die
for a long, long time. Most healthy

Still, you can never tell If, and
