covered with strong wire, clamped
above and below between inch boards;
the inner clamp boards project an
inch beyond the outer Ones, thus
breaking the joints and preventing
any draugbt when the openings are
closed. The two ridge boards are also
hinged so that they a be opened
during the hot weather. These open
lngs permit q free circulation of air
which not only lowers the tempera'
ture, but greatly relieves the oppres
sion Of the pigs in seeking shelter.
The hinged roof boards close down
tightly, giving warm quarters N the
cold weather. The cots proper are
supported on skids. on which they arc
not attached. being held in place By
the blocking of the ties across boil,

INTRODUCE WITH LITTLE FUSS
younu Queen ushcred in and laying
/. Within Short Space OF One
Hour without Failure.

I have sighed for some quick method
" Introducing queens, and success has
now rewarded me. and submit what
J [ believe will become the most popu-
| lar method of queen introduction--vfzs
Gray's -four method, says Joseph Gray,
] an English expert apiculturist, IN
Gleanings of Bee Culture, | san take
q queen from a nucleus, remove the
old queen, and have the young queen
| all right and laying within the hour.
To follow this plan of Introducing
I open the hive. find the comb with
the queen on. and remove her. then
lay the comb fiat so that both hands
are free, dust the bees on the upper
side OF the comb with -four from o
Hour-sifter, open the large door of the
cage, shake out the queen on to the
comb and dust her with -four. If a
Eighty queen, ! take the precautfon
to lust her with flour before open
the cage.
If the queen has been removed the
day previous, there is no need Of re-
moving a frame. ] take of the cover,
lay the cage on the frames, door up
ward, and Don q crowd of bees col
1ects around the cage. ! dust the
whole with four. swing open the door,
wher-out steps her majesty and at.
tendants, every one of which will be
accepted sure proof OF the reliabili'
ty OF the method, for with ordinary
plans all attendants r usually de-
stroyed.
! use Potts queen cages, which can
also be used as cell protectors or nur
( series. The differences between these
and the regular Benton cages are:
1. The candy hole is made from the
end, using only a halfinch bit.
2. A half-inch hole is made through
the side into the center compartment
3. The top and side covers are Of
perforated metal, and cut SO that they
do not catch the clothing.
4. These covers are put on with q
screw, which r as a hinge, and
can be frightened with one turn of the
screwdriver, SO that the imprisoned
bees can not force open the door and
escape, which ! have seen them de
when laid down temporarily.
The convenience and advantage Of
these cages win be readily seen in the
following operations:
Go to your nucleus colony and picl
up the comb with queen; grasp 1t with
the left hand. also hold your queer
cage with the same hand. your thumb
over the opened side door. Now witt
the right hand pick off your queer
and she will easily pass through thu
half.inch door. A three.eighths o
quarter inch is not nearly SO conveu
lent, You can cage as many bees a
you wish, with seldom a sting, TIL,
covers are so cut that they viii no
catch the clothing and pull open o.
the way to the ~out-apiary.

HINTS FOR LIVESTOCK RAISING.

When one has young pigs and breed
ing stock to care for he must think
further than merely what food will
fatten most.
Feeding without care is useless.
Give the COW sunlight; 1t has its place
in the economic production of milk
just as well as good food.
A successful dairyman feeds his
COWS this excellent balanced ration:
Glover hay and corn fodder. all the
cows will eat up clean, for r%oughage;
for grains, peas and oats. ground fine.
and bran In equal parts by weight,
and feed one pound of grain to three
or -four pounds of milk, with 16 pounds
of sugar beets a day.
For generations English farmers
have made extensive use OF dwarf, Els
sex rape as a stock food. This plant
may be described as a rutabaga run
to head. The seed is sowD like ruta'
baga turnlps and cultivated without
thinning. Sow two or three pounds
in drills, or four or Ave broadcast,
and plant in early spring. The seed ID
not expensive and the crop is easy to
raise.
Experiments prove that a heller is
easier to fatten than a steer.

BANK DIVIDENDS
Those Declared This Week are
Greater Than Last Year

The Banks of STAUNTON all de-
clared semi-annuai dividends this
week. At the Augusta National bank
a dividend was declared last Tuesday
at the regular meeting of 3 1-2 per
cent or at the rate of per cent per
annum. The National Valley uirec-
torate held it's meeting on Wednesday
declaring per cent seinianIiual
dividend, the rate being on the bas sis
of per cent per an1um. At the
Farmers and Merchants bank disi-
dend Of per cent for the half yea,
was declared, Oh ten per cent. per
annum basis. The meeting was held
yesterday as was that of the STAUN-
TON National bank where a 8 per
cent semi annual dividend wss declar-
ed, with one per cent extra dividend
added.
The above denotes healthy coDdi-
tion and was gratifying to the public
generally as we'll as the directors. De.
posits at three of the banks are about
the same as last year, several OF them
being slightly ahead, but on the whole
it Is estimated that there is a shortage
of over a $1OO, 600 for the same time
last year.

Gov. Mann's Choice

Richmond, Va, June S0.-Claude
A. Swanson, former governor OF Vir-
ginia will lie Governor Mann's choice
as successor to the late United States
Senator John w. Daniel.
This, while not official, comes from
one in close touch with State politics.
The governor will probably appoint
him shortly, although there is no es-
pecial hurry, congress being adjourn
ed.
The unexpired term will Last until
thirty days after the convening of the
next general assembly. Then the new
senator will be elected.
It is also understood that Swanson
will be in the race for. sthis Office.
Whether he will have opposition i
doubtful. There is some speculation
which, of course, mentions ex-Govern
or Montague and Congressman H. D.
Flood. Mr.. Flood is not expected t.
run, whether Mr.. Montague will conn
out remains to be seen.
