l have before me an excellent let
ter from a Louisiana bee keeper who
does not want his name or address
given. After expressing interest in
The Progressive Farmer and Gazette
articles, he says There is no good
reason why every farmer should not
keep a few bees with pleasure and
profit; and while. of course, they re-
quire constant attention, they really
take very little time from other work
since they may be attended to at
odd times. They are much less
trouble and much more profitable
than chickens. A man can take
twenty colonies of bees and add
500 to his income each year if he
will manage them properly, without
losing any time from his regular
work. He can get q dollar an hour
for each hour he spends with them.
Besides, the honey he sells at time
when ready money is needed on the
farm
when I say that a man can take
twenty hives and make 800, don't
think that a man can take hundred
or more hives and average SIS apiece
profit. Some men could, but the
average farmer could not, for bee
keeping is something like chicken
raising. A few chickens are very
profitable, but there are not many
men that can make a large flock
Of chickens pay.
Last season." he says, I'VE bought
eight colonies of bees and increased
them to thirty-one colonies. We sold
enough honey to pay for all hives,
bees, and fixtures, besides having all
the honey we could eat all winter.
And, as we had to send away for
the bees, with express very high, 1t
made them cost us about SO to the
colony, the empty hives, with super,
coming at about 50 in knock down
or fiat condition. Now can you tell
me of anything else, except a hen,
that will feed itself and pay for itself
in one season."
He thinks modern hives are neces-
sary to success. and one must have
a good textbook, or learn from an
experienced bee keeper. Bee keep
ing is not work for him. No matter
how tired he is. when a swarm comes
out the feeling is all gone. One
who keeps bees in boxes and barrels
and knows nothing Of their habits
loses most of the profits and all the
pleasure of the business. People
call our correspondent bee CRANK
because of his enthusiasm. He
thinks the best book for the business
is Roots "a. B, G, of Bee Culture"
1t is so arranged that you can find
whatever you want in it without any
trouble. +. G. KARNS.

method produces satisfactory results;
hence, our insufficient meat supply.
In winter the question of housing
is an important problem in cold eli
mates, but with us house that will
give sufficient protection from the
weather can be cheaply constructed
without excluding the light or OBJ
structing ventilation. We need, how
ever, dry, clean quarters for the hogs
In winter and shade for them in
summer. These must be provided
without dust or filth, which favor
the development OF disease, but we

the results or profits will largely de-
pend on the quality as we'll as the
cost OF the pigs at weaving time.
The cost OF the feed and care OF
the breeding stock Is an important
matter to the pork producer, but 1t
does not follow that the pig which
has cost the least when weaned Is
the most profitable one for pork
making.
The brood SOW should probably
produce two litters year, as the ex-
pense OF feeding year is too great
for one litter. The litters should
probably come in March and Sep
tember In order TO avoid the bad
weather OF winter and the extremely
hot weather of summer. We believe
that each brood SOW should have a
separate lot and shelter, where she
and her litter may be fed separately.
This lot should be large enough and
provision made to furnish grazing
during the time the SOW Is sucking
the litter. Even after the pigs are

Editorial Answer: We know of
no way of preventing the SOLDERING
caused by the clovers. In fact, no
one has ever found the exact agent
in or on the clover which causes this
trouble. Its effect may be reduced
by mixing some grass hay or corn
stover with the clover, say half
clover and half some other sort of
hay.
If the clover hay is of otherwise
good quality, the cow can probably
be induced to eat it by little coax
ing or by Withholding other hay for

There has been much discussion

some of the best engineers and de-

free in their praise of it, claiming
that the co-efficient of friction be-

much better than between rubber
and any other surface. 1t Is also
claimed that there will be much
less heating of tires, and what heat
is generated will be more quickly
dissipated than with any other me-

,HeNEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Honorable
Jim Jeffries is peeved-that is, he
was peeved at last accounts. AS
he "cools out very slowly, being
something like an Indian in that re-
spect, the chances are that he is
still smouldering in the basement
Some rash young critic hurled him
self into type with statement that
the big fight was fixed" That was
what started the Alfalfa Baron
First, he said that he would search
out the calumniator and bite him on
the left ear; later, he argued his
own case and wound up with some
fine seven-dollar-a-word profanity.
The trouble has been that jeff
and Johnson did not proceed tC
business in the good old way. They
sat down to arrange this fight as a
business proposition, and because
Jeff did not slug Jack on sight and
threaten to kill him when he got
him into the ring, we were all a
trifle disappointed.

met F'itz in a barroom, members OF
the press being present, and Gen
tleman Jim tore into Fitz like a
wolf and used poor old Bobs left
eye for a cuspidor. That was only
the beginning of friendly negotia
lions between the two. Later, wher
they We're training at Carson City

HAL CHASE AND
WAGNER HEROES

Hal Chase and Hans Wagner are
going to be heroized by Christy
Mathewson in the first of "The
Matty Books" The Giants prize
finger said yesterday that he con-
sidered these two men the greatest
in their positions that ever held up
an infield.
T've called my. first baseman in
the story Hal Chase" said the
Old King, land guess that ought
to be clear enough to indicate the
fellow we mean. He starts in as a
pitcher, and has a fair amount of
luck as a southpaw specialist, but
it is when accident sends him to the
first sack that he begins to show up
with the big league stuff. Instead
of calling the Lowell shortstop
Wagner, we've named him Hagner,
and l hope this will be satisfactory
to Hans and his followers"
Matty has not yet announced the
entire makeup of the two teams
which contest in the book for the
championship, but Chase and Wag-
ner are all signed up for covers.
Matty would like to hear from the
fans as to their individual prefer
ences in the matter Of the lineup of
the two teams, the championship
Lowell team, and the team repre-
senting the west. The book, which
is being edited by w. w. Aulick,
will be ready for the fans in Feb
ruary.
