Some beekeepers are developing
strains of honeybees with exceptional

able TO obtain honey from second crop
red clover. which has smaller blossoms
than the first crop. When these strains
of bees become little better developed
and more widely distributed the USE

Ants, flies, butterflies and bees are

method of selecting small grain is by
means of the tanning mill. BY run
ming through three or four times as
much seed as is needed all the small
grains may be sievei out and the light
ones blown over, leaving only the heav-
lest, strongest ones for planting.
Grain that Is intended for seed should
be stored carefully in order that it may
go through the winter uninjured. The
chief enemies of stored seed are mois-
ture. insects and rats and mice. The
seed should be dry when stored and
kept where moisture cannot gain ac-
cess to it. Dry seed will stand almost
any amount Of freezing without injury
There are number of insects that
damage seed grain by burrowing into
the germ. If the seed room is tight,
they may be killed by fumigating with
carbon disulphide used at the rate of
pound to each thousand cubic feet OF
space. Place this in an open dish ON
top of the seed, close the room as
tightly as possible, and In few hours
the insects will be exterminated. Care
should be taken not to go near the
room with a light, as the gas is ex-
plosive. This same treatment is also
fatal to rats and mice, unless they
have some way Of escaping from the
room. If possible the seed room should
ic so well built that these pests can
not get into it.
The second method Of plant propa-
cation is by diyision-that is, by plant
ing parts of the plant itself. Potatoes
are propagated in this way almost en-
tirely. II small willow and poplar

they will grow into trees. Apple and
other fruit trees are propagated either
by grating or budding. Apple trees
may be raised from seed, but the
fruit Of Seeding trees is usually worth

growing another from it. 1t will, OF

Grating consists of joining pieces
Of small branches or scions Of the tree
which Is to be propagated to pieces of
roots or stocks. The roots Of yearling
seedlings are used for stocks The
scions, which should be about the size
Of lead pencil, should be cut In the
fall and packed in sand, The grating
can be done at any time during the
winter. All that Is necessary is to cut
the lower end Of the scion and the up
per end Of the stock at an angle. as
shown In Fig. 10. These are then
carefully fitted together and tied with
a little common string. The essential
point is to be sure to have the cam
blum layer OF the scion join that of
the stock. This cambium layer is the
thin, light brown portion between the
bark and the wood 1t is the point
where growth takes place.

Gordon for Governor.


With the time for election of
a Governor of the State but three
years off. it is not too early for
the Democrats to begin casting
about for a candidate to redeem
the state to Democracy. Several
prominent Democrats are being
mentioned and quietly talked a
bout as probable candidates. The
concensus of opinion seems to be
that the candidate must be young,
aggressive and one who will stand
for the rights of the people and
taxpayers of this great state. In
the opinion of many Democrats
over the state our present State
Auditor, JnO. p. Gordon, is a man
who can redeem the state to De-
mOcracy. 1t was he that made a
fight against an increase in as
Sessed valuations of farm lands
in this state, and in that fight he
won against the determination
of our present Republican Gov
ernor to raise farm lands more
than three times their present as
SeSsed value. This act alone has
prevented placing an enormous
and unjust taxation upon the ag-
ticulture sections of this state.
Nh. Gordon gave as his reason
COR his stand, that the eXpendi-
lures of the people money should
be kept at the minimum, believing
that the best government is the
one that lays the smallest trib.
ute upon its people" Since be
coming State Auditor he has dem
onstrated his ability to protec'
the revenue of the State by hi
careful scrutiny of every deman'
upon the state.
That he is a vote getter an,

success in the last campaign 70
