HOW TO TREAT SOREHEAD.

Messrs. Editors: Sorehead is not
necessarily fatal disease, but it is
one that needs attention, or the
chicken affected by it will likely die
of starvation. 1t is a disease that
one might call "fall dwindling," for
it causes the birds that take it to
become thin and scrawny and to
waste away; and it usually comes in
the fall Of the year,-about the time
when mosquitoes are the worst.
Sorehead is first made manifest by
little red Jumps about the comb, gills
and eyes. These bumps, or pimples
enlarge and others appear, and they
fill with fetid matter, until, unless
the disease is checked, the head be-
comes a mass of putrid sores,-the
eyes closing in many instances from
the scabs about them. This is sore
head in its worst form.
Now, there is cure, and the treat
ment is simple, if taken in time The
best remedy | know of is a mixture
Of lard and coal oil, in the proper
ton of two parts of lard to one of
oil, and few drops of carbolic acid
additional. 1t should all be very
thoroughly mixed until it fully emul-
SITES and becomes white and soap
like. Then, at the first appearance
OF the malady, rub the head in gen.
eral with the mixture, applying it
with a soft rag. Do this two or
three times a week. When this is
done the red bumps turn black, dry
up and fall off and the surface heals
over nicely. H. B. GREER.

BEE KEEPING FOR FARMERS.
XXu.-Late SWarming.

Indeed, this has been a remark
able bee year in more ways than one
Our little workers not only had a
poor chance to make honey, but also
little opportunity to swarm and make
increase during the spring season
when this work naturally comes. And
now here at the last of the summer
unnatural swarms are coming out
On August 25 my helper found a
swarm on a little apple tree near the
bee yard 1t was very small, and
though ! could not hope for much
from it. we decided TO put 1t in a
new home all right. So good
moveable-frame hive, with plenty OF
old comb. was brought out and the
little people were set up to house
keeping in almost no time.
This happened about o'clock in
the morning, and | suspect the little
swarm had been hanging out there
all night. However, we moved 1t to
its new place in the bee yard and |
intend to put an Alexander feeder
under the rear of the new home at
nightfall and give the new occu-
pants a good supper OF melted sugar.
But judge Of my surprise along In
the afternoon when my assistant
came in and said that the little
swarm had come out again and was
hanging on another apple tree.
Again we went and gently placed
them in the new home. This was
very easily done. for in each case
they clustered very near the ground
The last time I didn't put on either
veil or gloves.
When these bees came out the
third time, i gave up hopes of doing
anything with them, and in a day or
two they had disappeared. Whether
they had a crazy queen or what was
the matter. / can not certainly tell.
