CARE OF EXTRACTED HONEY

The invention of the movable frame
and OF the honey-extractor, has af-
forded beekeepers the means OF taking
with money, and OF returning them to
the bees when empty without damag-
ing them or injuring a single bee.
Extracted honey comes nearer be-
ing a staple article than does comb.
and 1 believe If we exert ourselves more
in the INTRODUCTION Of extracted honey
the future will see the greater por-
ton of our honey sold in the liquid
form.
1t costs SO mucn less to produce it
and prepare 1t for maket and we can
produce so much more per colony that
we can sell it for about half what We
get for the comb honey and give us
the same profit
It is estimated that it takes about
Is pounds of honey to make one
pound of comb.
II honey is extracted from the
combs without mutiladng them ana
the combs replaced in the hives. one
can obtain nearly twice as much
honey.
Extract each variety of honey by
Itself, if possible, but it is not always
possible, for the bees viii persist in
working on sumac when we would
like clover honey.
1 prefer to do the extracting in its
season as soon as it is tit One must
be guided by the thickness of the
honey-it should be left with the bees
until ripe enough to keep.
/ believe all beekeepers should be
very particular about this in order to
be able to have reliable article.
If honey is extracted while raw or
very thin. it will soon take rank.
strong taste and really is not worth
nalf the price.
My honey is all left on the hives
BY this time the bees have thoroughly
ripened it and it has become so rich
and thick that it takes a good rignt
arm to swing ii out of the combs.
Win the combs are taken from
the bees they are carried to the honey
house and left there until evening.
Before beginning to extract. take
the uncapping knife and hone 1t on
an oilstone until the edges are good
and keen.
This will prevent tearing the combs
to a great extent when shaving the
cappings of, The knife is occasion
ally dipped in a pail OF not water
which greatly expedites the work also.
Two frames Of nearly equal weight
are selected each time so as to balance
nicely in the extractor. The crank Is
turned rapidly for a minute or so ana
the honey is whipped OF the

dition in the fall.
Instead OF selling the best mothers
we should devote attention to condition
ing them for the mating season. Some
make the mistake of feeding the ewes
"a highly concentrated ration OF fat-pro-
dueing feeds to bring them to good
flesh-producing too rapidly. but this
often proves detrimental to their breed
ing qualities. - 49, Sc +,
The best ration for this purpose rs
one made up largely, OF pasture, and
forage crops and the grain produced on
the farm. Many breeders feed some or
the very highly concentrated byproducts
feeds but my experience has been that
oats, barley. wheat and a very little
corn is better for the ewes at this time.
If given plenty Of pasture and forage
the ewes can be kept in a flesh gaining
condition with very little additional
grain feed; but If the season is exceed
ingiy dry it win pay to supply supple
mental feeds at once.
A little dry roughage is eaten with
great relish and many sheep owners
feed a dry ration once a day, thus GET
ting the ewes gradually accustomed 10
the dry ration before they are placed IN
winter quarters. This provides against
deranging the ewes digestive organs
and modifies the influence OF the sud-
den change in feed.
Many successful men find that their
ewes take on better flesh and hold their
condition during the mating period much
better than when they must depend en-
tirely upon green and succulent feeds.
While good pasture and forage crops
will cause ewes to take on flesh rapr1-
ly, they are not sufficient for ewes that
are run down in flesh and vitality.

GROWING SUNFLOWERS

Sunflower seed is used mainly for
birds and poultry as feed. It is a
native of Kansas and the far western
country.
Sunflowers can be grown in any good
corn land. bat it takes the nitrogen out
of the soil In great quantities and there
fore the crop should not be repeated on
the same soil.
Plant with drill or corn planter as
you would corn In rows about 1-2 feet
apart The seeds should be three or
four inches apart in drills and thinned
later on to about Is inches
It requires from s to II pounds of seed
per acre and 1t should be planted little
shallower than corn. The cultivation
must be cry shallow so as not TO dis
turb the roots. After the plants are in
bloom pinch of all but three or four
heads. Harvest before the seeds are fully
ripe as they begin to shatter early and
it Is also difficult to protect them from
the birds which fall upon them in great
flOclxs.

cappings which frequently get into the
extractor.
The honey is then poured into i've
gallon tin cans. for the wholesals

tumblers for retailing.
Before extracting is. begun. the
combs are held up to the light and
graded. The white honey is selected
and extracted first, next the amber and
then the dark
/ The uncapping can is in two parts; the
top section telescopes into the bottom
section. The top section has a sieve
bottom which catches the cappings as
they fall into the can.
The honey drains from them into the
lower section. and nothing is lost or
wasted. The cappings, after draining for
a few days, are rendered into the most
beautiful light-yellow wax.
The empty combs are set into the home
apiary and cleaned UP by the bees and
stored away until next spring. when
they are hauled to the outyards and
used there.

tracing combs and unfinished sections

cleaned if they are to be used again next
year.
1 do not know of any way they can be
cleaned thoroughly except by the bees.
II there is no honey in the fields at the
time of extracting, we wait until evening
to return the extracting supers, so that
the bees may not be melted to rob.
About sunset is a good time, and il
any excitement prevails 1t dies out be-
fore any damage is done. The next
morning all is quiet.
We have tried keeping the combs over
from one year to another without giving
them back to be cleansed. and we do not
like it. They are sticky and leak more or
less: they attract the mice and robber
bees, and the liquid honey that sticks to
them is likely to be sour.
Then, when spring comes, II we hap
pen to put them on the hive during the
day of a short crop, we have some risks
again from the excitement caused, ana
some danger OF robbing.

while some farmers construct a wooden
wheel hanging on supports like grind

are driven quite thickly and as the wheel
turns round the heads of the sunflow-

WORD OF ADVICE TO YOUNG

A WORD OF ADVICE TO YOUNG
HOUSEKEEPERS.
II you own your home and expect to
live there and feel settled, and have the
money to spare, I would advise that you
furnish It with furniture suitable to your
means and your general station in life.
If you are fond of adornments, crafty
your taste that way.
But / discover that large majority
rent their homes and change residences
quite often, and stin they fill up with
furniture adornments, bric-a-brac and
what nots.
With many years of experience'to judge
by and with very limited number ahead
to realize in my life, would say to
young housekeepers or moderate means.
buy no more moyables than you need to
be comfortable, and do not forget that
two removes are said to be as destructive
as fire, because the stuff is so mucn
damaged by rough handing.
Your bedding should be excellent, be-
cause sorry mattresses, ETC.. soon show
their quality, and your table fixtures
should be of good quality, because II
means so much to you and those who
visit you, but it will save you lot or
vexation and loss to buy but little heavy
furniture or decorations which will soon
show dust and need constant care. And
IL the housekeeper has little children
there will be very little time to devote to
fligree and tinseled ornaments
So many young people are anxious TO
fix up like their neighbors have done that
they burden their strength, their happi-
ness and their means by useless and IN
necessary expenditures

NEW GUINEA in BALLOON.

The interior of New Guinea, an is
land lying just north of Australia,
inhabited by one of the most savage
tribes of the islands grouped under
the title of "Oceania," is to a great
extent unknown. Exploration by a
small party on foot would be difficult.
Therefore, DR.. Wegener, director of
the German Meteorological Observa-
tory at Samoa, proposes that a COM
plete survey be made by means of
balloon,
The winds are regular. The plan is
to start the balloon from one side to
the other side, where a ship would
pick up the party and take the bal
boon back to some other convenient
point for another ascent.
