Using Pure Bred Bears.

Many make the mistake of think
ing only farmers who make busi-
ness of selling breeding stock need
to use pure bred boars. There Is,
on the other hand no very good rea-
son why any breeder or farmer
should use grade sires.
Good pure-bred sires can be Sc
cured at reasonable rates, and far
greater dependence can be placed
upon a good animal of pedigreed
stock than can be upon good grade.
OF course we do not make this con-
tention for the pure-bred scrub, for
pedigree alone does not make an
animal by any means.
If an animal is properly built, is
healthy, and in addition has pure
blood running through his system,
the chances are that he will sire bet
ter pigs than grade would whose
characteristics are not as firmly
fixed. The choice of sires is an i'm
portant matter, and only good stock
should be used.

Care With Combs.

All the precautions necessary to
keep my large stock Of extracting
combs are to space them one less to
the hive than they are used In the
summer, and then leave them where
they will freeze during the winter,
writes an apiarist. The moths pass
the winter usually in the egg stage,
and good, solid freezing will kill
them, so in the spring there are no
worms to seat the comb. There are
usually two broods during the sea-
son, one in the spring, the other
during the fall. 1t takes about three
weeks for the larvae to mature. An
other point in the safe keeping of
combs is the presence of pollen or
dead brood. The larvae of the moth
cannot live on wax alone; they must
have some other food, Combs used
for extracting seldom have any pol
len or other nitrogenous food for the
worm in them. The combs which are
in the hive where the bees have died
are the most liable to their attacks.

A Swedish farmer had sold some

The value of the pure sweet skim
milk fed to pigs fresh from the
cream separator, was found by the
well-known dairyman, Mr.. G. P.
Goodrich, to be much greater than
usually estimated. He found that
100 pounds of gain in pigs weigh
ing 125 pounds when fed alone, and
one bushel of corn fed alone made q
gain of ten pounds. This puts
high value on sweet skim milk.
When he Joined skim milk and corn
in due proportion the feed value OF
both were increased 20 per cent,
showing that both made fine bal
anced ration. He fed 100 pounds
of sweet skim milk with one bushel
of corn, and that gave IS pounds
of gain to the shoats. Hoard's
Dairyman says:
I'm our own experience we have
made skim milk worth SO cents per
100 when fed to grade Guernsey
calves sold at months of age at
$25 each.
1T is we'll enough to say that a
large part of the feeding value of
separator skim milk may be wasted
by improper methods of feeding; al
SO it's best value Is always found In
feeding 1t to young pigs and shoats." "

Wee Girl a BeekeeRer,

Beekeeping is one of the last
things in the world in which one
would expect little girl to excel,
yet Ethel Grace Leadon of Surrey
IS among the most expert beekeepers
In England. She is as skillful In
driving swarm of bees from one
hive to to another as is the most ex-
perienced veteran of the craft, and
In taking combs from hives she is
twice as successful as the average
girl of two or three times her age.
Little Miss Leadon is an active men,
ber Of the Surrey Beekeepers' Asso-
citation, having a vote in all its af-
fairs. In the exercise Of her fran
chise, however, she is guided by her
papa, from whom she learned all
she knows about caring for the hon.
ey-makers.

"He said he resembled a man who

bet was accepted, the man stripped

the hotel to watch his progress from

reach the buoy in due course, draw
himself up out of the water, and sit

Separators do much of the most
valuable work of modern farming.
There is the gin for separating the
seed from cotton: the threshing ma
chine for separating wheat and oats
from the straw; bean. pea and clover
hullers for separating the seed OF
those plants; the tanning mill for
separating dirt, chaff and foreign
seeds from the pure seed and finally
the last and one of the most i'm
portant separators, the cream separa-
tor. This wonderful invention en-
ables the farmer to separate the
cream from the milk as soon as 1t is
drawn and have the fresh warm
skim milk to feed to the calves or
pigs. The butter fat brings a good
price and by feeding something to
take it's place with the skim milk
almost as good a calf can be raised
as with the whole milk. The churn
will yield more than in the old days
of hand skimming, nor will the calf
as in those days be knocked in the
head with the dash. If the butter fat
is sold to the creamery, the use OF
the separator makes fewer trips nee
essary with a much lighter load to
carry. A one-horse buggy will haul
the cream from two horse load Of
whole milk. Then the skim milk
often comes back unfit for the calves.

Cleanliness of Honcy-Mak!nG,

Science has recently demonstrated
many things of which the beekeeper
might we'll take note and use to ad-
vantage in popularizing honey. Sci
entific Investigations and close OBJ
servation have determined that the
bee, with its strong instinct for
cleanliness, puts the cleanliest house
keeper to shame in the thorough
ness with which 1t polishes and dis
infects the comb cells. the recep-
tacles for storing honey. 1t gathers
the aroma-laden nectar distilled by
the blossoms and, in all its purity,
places it in the honey sack. After
reaching the hive, it is placed in the
comb cell, where the bees blow a
current of air warmed by the inmates
of the hive continuously over the
open cells, evaporating it to the con-
sistency Of ripe honey and in it's
marvellous process making the vari-
Gus methods invented by syrup and
sugar manufacturers appear crude
and unclean.

Roughage For Sheep.

Timothy hay is comparatively
poor roughage for sheep. Glover,
pea vine hay or any other kind of
hay made from legumes is good. II
one grows peas or beans for their
seeds, the straw makes good sheep
feed. OF course, some concentrated
food must be fed, too. Some here
feed the pea straw unthrashed, but
many a pea is lost then. AS peas are
rich in nitrogen, this means quite a
little. They are, however, good
feed for sheep when ground.

Portable Hog House.
One of the Best, Cheapest and Hand
TEST Ever Contrived.

Mr.. Olin A. Dobbins, of Ohio,
sends to the National Stockman"
the following description of his port
able hog house.
I'VE send herewith a sketch of
what we think the best, handiest
and cheapest hog house we have
ever used. Two doors in front make
1t convenient for ventilating, as we
have them face south in the Winter
time. II there Is a cold wind from
the southwest the west doors are
closed and the east ones opened.
Should the wind be in the east or
southeast they are reversed. The
house is divided inside by portable
partition which should be nearly
four feet high and made Of good
oak boards with very narrow cracks
between them, especially near the
bottom. With this partition in
place 1t makes good roomy beds 5xY
feet each for the sows, and when
through with IT for sows the parti-
tion is removed and placed by the
back wall and held there by q large
wooden button turning over the top
board. In this shape we use 1t for
twenty to twenty-five pigs and ind

different patterns that we have used
and are using, as 1t affords better
ventilation and Is easier to clean as
there is plenty of room.

SERVICES result IN Great COmmerclal
Benefit to Owners.
From recent reports received at
the Department Of Commerce and
Labor 1t appears that the honey int
erests of England have found 1t
worth while to employ experts to
supervise that industry. Cornwall,
the best honey producing county in
that country, was the first to engage
the service of an expert in beekeep-
ing, with vast commercial benefit.
When, three years ago, foul brood"
an infectious disease among bees,
attacked the apiaros at Cornwall, and
worked great destruction, the sup
ervisors determined that it would be
necessary to destroy hundreds Of
hives where the disease was preVa-
lent. This forcible extinction of the
hives saved the industry In the coun-
ty. There now remain but a few
traces of the disease.
In order that attention may be
drawn to the success that may at
tend beekseping the authorities have
Instructed their expert inspector to
visit all beekeepers in the county,
examine the hives kept by them, and
give advice "a to their condition and
management. 1t is also the duty of
the inspector to work up markets.
