THE CAPSULE TREATMENT.

A horticultural teacher in Mont
gomery county, wrote to State Zoolo-
gist Surface, at Harrisburg, Pa, ask
ing If he had any faith in the treat
ment for San Jose scale by the ap-
plication of certain chemicals under
the bark of the tree; and asked par
ticularly concerning the effects of ap-
plying a capsule containing cyanide
of potassium, prepared by a firm in
Allentown, Pa.
The reply of Professor Surface is
complete, and may be useful to 9TH

nation.
In considering the reformation of
prisoners, the advanced thinker
takes little heed of the criminal
himself. His sufferings are nothing
as compared with the rights of So
ciety. But the protection of the
community can be better secured by
the regeneration of the lawbreaker
than by his perpetual degradation.
1t is one of those happy instances
where what is best for the individu-
al is best for the collective whole.

and frequently found when .ur-
looked for. In the early days of

Therefore. this method - very much

pertinent with manure. It was found
that manure when spread on the field
as fast as made suffered little loss OF
it's fertilizing constituents though less
than two-f1fths OF the dry matter of
the feed and bedding was recovered
in the manure.
Manure that was thrown out and
kept in covered shed lost one-third
OF its nitrogen, one-fifth Of its potash
and e-seventh OF Its phosphoric
acid.
Only one-third Of the dry matter
of food and litter was recovered In
the manure. The potash and phos-
phoric acid probably escaped by seep-
age Of the liquid manure into the clay
bottom.
The nitrogen was volatilized and
escaped into the air in the form OF
carbonate Of ammonia.
The money value Of the fertilizing
constituents lost in the covered shed
as compared with manure left to be
tra,nped down was equivalent to $50
for each steer fed for six months \

HOW The SOIL IS FORMED
A COMMONPLACE SUBJECT, BUT ONE EXTREMELY
FULL OF INTEREST IF IT is STUDIED


one could scarcely imagine q more
untnterestins subject for discussion,
nor think Of anything less likely to
prove Of Importance to the careless
observer than that OF the soil.
We arc accustomed to think OF the
soil as merely dirt, thing to be
summed as far aS possible, and kept
hidden from sight
Perhaps you will not think the soil
worthy Of interest and study, but did
YOU ever stop to think that without
tho soil We could not be living in this
world today7
The food which you eat could not
have been produced II there We're no
soil, for. tho plants which make the
food for animals. In their turn derive
all their nourishment from the soil.
So, you sec the soil Is. after ALL very
important to mankind.
We arc 80 familiar with the soil as
It now exists that most Of us do not
stop to think that It was ever any
thing different but 1t has really
taken a long time Tor nature to form
what we call tho soil, and In doing 30
she has employed the most wonderful
agencies. s$ r

tended,
When the bees arc about to swarm
and are inclined to come outside the
hive, the bag Is fastened onto the
front Of the hive and the other end
fastened to stake. When the queen
enters the bag she bounds TO the
upper end and Is quickly surrounded
by her followers and tho swarm Il
then captured with ease.
Beginners arc very often impatient
for increase. II you increase your
bees too rapidly you Will got less

much smaller quantity OF black ma
terial which is called organic matter
or sometimes humus. A little closer
examination will sho-7 that the or
ganic matter is simply che remains OF
plants which have formerly grown
upon the land. and which have par
TALLY decayed or rotted in the soil.
| Take small quantity Of a black
soil. heat it in the lid OF a baking
powder can. and see II the odor that
comes Off Is not very much like that
you notice on heating bits OF leaves in
the same way.
| We find then that the soil Is COM
posed Of small particles Of rock mixed
with the remains OF former plants,
and that by far the larger part con-
ststs Of these rock particles.
This suggests tho thought that the
soil has been formed from the solid
rock such as are found beneath it.
and this, indeed. Is what the men who
have studied tho subject have found
to be true.
Geology teaches us that at one time
all tho surface Of the earth was solid
rock. At that time there was nothing
like what We now know as the soil.
These rocks contained all the con-
stituents necessary to make soil and
all the substances which the plants
use as food with the exception OF the
element nitrogen.
Ih1s plant food. however, was not
IN forms In which the plants could
use 1t. Suppose you had a sack Of
wheat
You know that there is plenty OF
1000 there to nourish you for some
time' but 1t - not in very good form
20 eat so long as It is In the whole
wheat kernel.
One Of tho first things you would
do would be to grind it to a -four.
And that is one Of the first things that
nature does in preparing tho food
for plants: she grinds tho rocks to
-four.
In other words the first process IN
tho formation Of a soil is the pulver.
ization Of the rocks.
Nature uses several methods To
bring about the grinding or pulveriza-
ton OF the rocks. The first of these
Is change Of temperature, or heat and
cold.
II you examine piece Of sranite
you will ind that instead Of being
q simple rock 1t Is composed Of Diff
ferent minerals cemented together.
Now these minerals are differently.
affected by heat and cold. You know
that most substances expand when
heated. The amount Of expansion
varies for the different minerals IN
the granite and az result the effect
Of change In temperature is to sepa-
rate the minerals, thus breaking tho
rock into smaller pieces.

FOR BEGINNERS IN BEE CULTURE
BY Mrs. A. Joseph. California.

out, but when the queen comes out
with q swarm she Is trapped because
she cannot 90 through the same slot
the workers 60 through S
While the swarm 10 In the air the
trap containing the queen Is taken or
the old hive Is removed and a new
one containing frames or combs put
in its place. The trap Is then placed
in front Of the new hive, now on the
old stand and in 20 minutes or one
half hour the swarm In the air will
return and go into the new hive. The
queen Is then released from the trap
when she will go into the swarm
The bees will then start house
keeping anew.
In this way you avoid climbing
trees. or cutting their limbs OF or
ma king that horrid noise OF pounding
the pans.
In this manner the attention the
bees require could be given by the
farmers wife or the son or daughter
and If he will let them have the
money made from the bees. they will
get so interested in them that they
will learn to handle q large number
of bees in a short time and will be
able to lay aside little ready money.
OF course there Is an occasional
season when bees will hardly make
their own living. Then they should
be fed to keep them from starving.
but there may be only one poor sea-
son in four or FIVE. In the good sea-
sons they will more than pay for their
keep.
A good. but simple hive may be
constructed easily. There should be
two rows Of holes. one SIX inches
above the other, so that when shelter
is not provided. and Il SHOWS. the
lower holes are usually covered with
snow or ice, tho upper ones remain
ing open to admit fresh air. which
is very important. Then after q long
Journey, bees alighting at the upper
holes have shorter distance to travel
to reach their store Of sweets.
The hive Al 12x12x15 inches inside
measurement and when filled with
honey will hold sufficient to keep a
large colony Of bees during any sea-
son not fruitful Of flowers.
