STRAINS DUE TO JERKS.
Sudden Stresses on Hosting Ropes
Cause Rapid Deterioration.

Experiments made by placing a dy-
pamometer between the rope and the
cage in hosting plant showed con-
clusively the bad effects of starting the
load with jerk due to a slack rope.
When there was two and half inches
of slack the stress on the rope was 80
per cent greater than if the load was
lifted slowly and gently. With three
inches of slack the stress was Go per
cent greater than if lifted slowly and
gently. With slack of six inches the
stress was 122 per cent. or more than
double. and with twelve inches slack
the stress on the rope was three times
rs great as when starting slowly with
| a taut rope.
Such sudden stresses on hoistina
ropes necessarily cause deterioration
in the strands. which eventually result
in breakage. The jerk can be greatly re-
duced by care on the part of the hoist
ing engineer and the insertion of G
good spring connection between the
cage and the rope.-Mines and Min
erals.

followed the plants wilted and died.
The crop was failure except por.
ton of the lower corner, which was
on a poor clay knob, and there a few
good heads matured.
Due consideration was given to the
fact of poor drainage and also to ex-
cessive amounts of water about the
roots. to which might be attributed
much of the failure. Still it seemed
plausible conjecture that there might
be extraordinary amounts of soluble
salts in the soil and that they would

HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERs.

If you expect to get crop of
honey take good care of your
bees.
Don't imagine that you know
it all and cannot learn anything
by reading a bee journal.
In the production of extracted
honey give seven frames in the
eight frame super and nine
frames in the ten frame.
Don't put on your supers be-
fore the bees are ready for them,
as you gain nothing by doing so,
but only render it harder for the
bees to keep up the necessary
heat.
The necessity of having neat
and attractive label with the
name and address of the pro-
ducer on every package of honey
put upon the market is well un-
derstood by the enterprising bee
keeper.
The long top bar is better for
use in old homemade hives, as
the staple spaced frames require
accurate inside dimensions.
Fruit culture cannot be carried
on successfully without bees to
effect fertilization through carry
ing pollen from one blossom to
another.
The disposition of an unprofit-
able colony to store honey may
be materially increased by giving
them several combs of Matching
brood from an industrious hive.
