worth while TO try any other In

in bee keeping make as much as
$4,000 a year, but do not now adj

their special journals and extensive

plan the same as he does poultry.
few bees need not take much
time from your other work. Except
In the swarming season, the work
may be done in the morning and
evening or at noon and other odd
times. The mother or some grown
up daughter or son may assist, or
even take charge OF the entire bust
ness as in the case of farm poultry.
or late, bee keeping has become quite
popular with ladies who desire to
adopt an easy. paying business OF
their own. and get the benefit of
open air exercise. Besides. tho work
is very interesting and It's study of a
most intellectual. scientific. and de-
lightful character.

We can speak also from our own
experience as to the success OF mod
ern bee keeping. From few hives
we have delicious honey on our table
the year through and we sell the
overplus at prices above mentioned
The chunk honey readily brings is
cents pound and section frames 20
cents. The latter have sometimes
sold In the city market as high as 25
cents a pound. The demand last
year was nothing like supplied. even
among farmers around us.
But real success comes only with
the practice of modern methods in
modern hives and with modern ap-
pliances which We shall describe I'm
a future letter. Farmers around ua
who work In the old way do little
or nothing and in most cases, as al
ready stated. their bees die out In a
few years.

NM bee keeping in the Southern
States. A few of our general
farmers have always kept bees, but
rarely with any knowledge of scien-
the theory or practice. The bees died
or were generally not profitable.
In recent years some exceptional
cases have been observed. In these
The old box hive has been replaced
by the modern hive with movable
frames and a close study of recent
methods has been followed. One
farmer in Polk County, Tenn. has
been making $500 a year from bees
as side line. One of our neighbors
started out last year and made S240
with few stands in the first season.
In our little village he found ready
sale for his honey at Is to 20 cents
pound and the leading hotel and
grocery store at Knoxville, only eight
miles away, took all he would bring

N7N THE PRESENT egg season,
NH we see great possibilities in
@9 the way of improvement in
the poultry on the farm; and it
seems to us that every one who is at
all interested In poultry should take
advantage of this very opportune
season.
We assume that there are a great
many flocks of poultry on the farms
where this good publication circu-
lates. that have been bred in and in
for great many years, without the
addition OF nay new blood to speak
OF: and with no introduction of high
class. pure bred stock at all. The
poultry on the place is just chick
ens"-good, bad and Indifferent,
with no particular classification, or
special points Of merit This condi-
ton has caused the flock to run down
. good deal as individuals, and to
make . low average of eggs per hen
during the year.
Now this Is a condition that should
not be, for it is both improbable.
ana unbecoming some of the other
up-to-date features of the live stock.
and improvements on the place, per-
haps. The hens are certainly worthy
OF some consideration, and right now
Is the time for us to take the neces-
sary action in the way of improve
ment With this worthy purpose at
heart. our plan would be to make
nrst move by buying sitting of eggs
OF some breed of our choice, from a
reliable breeder. Or what would be
better. two or three sittings. Then
placing them under good reliable sit
tiers. we would start in this way to
hatch at home the young chicks that
should later on add much to the bet
terment Of our home flock. We
would be quite sure to raise several
fowls Of each sex from the eggs thus
utilized. and from among them we
would pick out a mating of. pure
bred fowls for the second season.

This would enable us to raise ex.

year, thus doing away with the COM
mon stock entirely.
Or, If we should prefer, it would
be possible for us. in addition to the
pure bred mating, as suggested, to
dispense with all our common roost-
