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 a dozen or so colonies Of bees
in wellarranged 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
ing some apiary conducted by a man
who knows the business.

greatly to be preferred to poor butter.
The only "kick" coming here from the
consumer is when oleomargarine, be it
ever so good, masquerades under the
guise of butter and is sold at the same
price. In Illinois most drastic laws
have recently been passed relating to
the sanitary condition of butterine and
ice cream factories.
The Worcester (Mass.) Board of
Trade goes still further in its crusade
for sanitary surroundings for the man
ulacture of ice cream, when 1t says:
"All establishments in which ice cream
Is manufactured shall be equipped with
facilities for the proper cleansing Of
the hands Of the operatives, and all
persons Immediately before engaging in
the mixing Of the ingredients entering
into the composition of Ice cream or
It's subsequent freezing and handling
shall thoroughly wash his or her hands
and keep them cleanly during such man
ufacture and handling. All such per-
sors shall be dressed in clean outer
garments while engaged in such manu-
f.c1ure and handling" Here Is surely
a move in the right direction which
ever! woman will indorse.

ant that the grower should select five
or ten of his very best plants and lei
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 40
to 30 pounds each, with a 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 a 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 description of
your method and conditions, would be
greatly appreciated by this station.
Kindly address such report to the De-
oartment of Agronomy, Oregon Agri-
cultural college, Corvallis, Oregon.

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

nurver from Whey

At Rodman Village, Jefferson Coun-

Products Company has erected plant
for the manufacture Of butter from
whey, and about twenty-five factories
are supplying 1t with separator cream
taken from whey. The butter made Is
said to be equal to best creamery but

making has long troubled factorymen,
1t being found impossible to incorporate
all the fat in the cheese. The new sys-

2Ac additional per 100 pounds from
this source. The whey is said to be
worth as much for feeding as before.

The HENS Health.

DR.. Salmon of the Bureau Of Am
NAL Industry lays down this rule for
telling the health Of the bird by its
droppings: The condition Of the drop.
pings furnishes good indication OF
the hens health. They should be OF
sufficient consistency to hold their
shape, but should not be too solid. In
color they should be dark, tapering
Off into graylsh white. If the drop
pings are soft or pasty, and of yel-
lowish or brownish color, it indicates
too much carbohydrates or a lack OF
meat. IT,, on the other hand, the drop
pings are watery and dark, with red
splashes of mucus in them it indi-
Gates too much meat. A greenish,
watery diarrh9a usually indicates un-
conditions either in the sur
roundings, the feed or the water.

Pruning Large Limbs.


To ensure rapid healing in the plant
after pruning 1t Is necessary that all
wounds should be left smooth. If 1t Is
necessary to use a saw in removing a
large limb the cut surface should be
left smooth aad 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 a sharp
chisel, as the healing process starts
quicker and progresses more rapidly
when this precaution Is observed. 1t
frequently happens that in order to OBJ
tain the best results In removing large
branches, two cuts should be made. The
limb may be sawed off 1S inches or 2
feet above the point of its origin In
order to prevent splitting down and
tearing Off a considerable part of the
bark. After the weight Of the limb
has been lessened by cutting away the

Query. Why cannot black powder b.
substituted for dynamite in blasting
workl
Answer. Black powder may be and
frequently is uesG for blasting pur.
ever, lies in the fact that it is not
nearly as strong as the higher explosives
and consequently more of it must be
used to do the same amount of work
which necessitates the drilling of a
larger hole. In some cases a small hole
is put down, the bottom Of which is en-
larged by exploding small charge of
dynamite and the cavity so made loaded
with black powder.-F. S. Thomson

me what course to pursue to protect my

A. From the description you give me
! do not think that the cow has tuber-
culosis. ! am rather inclined to think
it is a case of local inflammation. 1t
is likely that the cow will be all right
as soon as the abscess heals.-Wash
ington State College, Pullman.
Q. Are there any high explosives
which do not need thawing before being
usedf
A. Yes; but so far their use has not
been general, due to Che common belief
that such powders are unreliable and
that "missed holes' are likely to re-
suit from their use. If you will write
me privately 1 will give you the names
of some of these-F. S. Thomson, Wash
