SPRING WORK AMONG THE BEES

The long winters sleep is over
and the bee is herself again. Those
colonies wintered on summer stands
should now be cautiously examined.
1t may be that a little feed, given
inside of the hive, will save a col
ony from starvation and death.
When feeding for stimulating brood
rearing, feed from 4 to 8 ounces
per day, according to the strength
of the colony; and give this just at
dusk-good honey diluted with an
equal amount Of water or syrup
made Of granulated sugar no to -
lbs. Of sugar to a gallon Of water
and three pints of honey to this
amount as a favor to induce the
bees to take it more readily. + pre-
fer to feed right over the cluster

two-story hives, place the set Of

nest at the top, until you are ready
for the harvest, then put the sur
plus arrangement above. Combs
below the brood.nest are protected
from the moths fully as well, if not
better, than those above.
It frequently happens that the
dead bees become moulded together
in large Jumps, and it is well to re-
move these putrid masses as early
as it may safely be done. Many Of
the dead bees may be removed thru
the entrance by the use of crooked
wire or stick. The same advice
holds true with the bee in the Gel
lar, though it is well to use the ut.

Of experience along this line I al. am

Sailing BUTTER

A subscriber from King county

salt to use in sailing butter. and
how much per pound?"
Our correspondent should bear in
mind that it is important not ia
oversalt butter. Fine salt should be
used. II not fine enough, sift the
salt. Stir the salt lightly and even.

the rate Of one-half ounce or three.
fourths and sometimes even an
ounce to the pound according to the
taste. Too much salt will injure
the delicate flavor Of butter. A good
rule to follow and one that we have
used in making butter is one ounce
per pound for packed butter and
one-half ounce for fresh or print
butter that is to be marketed at once.

|o.-W. R. & n HAS

Handy Flyers Demonstrate Usefulness
in Handling Passenger Traffic and
Prove Extremely Popular

So successful have the gasoline
coaches proven in their interurban
service on the O.-W. R. & n. Co.. s
line that two more have been ordered
from McKeen Motor Car Co., and
are now building at their plant in
Omaha, according to statement by
Assistant General Passenger Agent
John NJ. Scott of Portland.
One of them will be delivered
within a month, and the other soon
after. With four of the gasoline
motor cars the local division of the
Hartman line will be able to give
the people of Kennewick almost
hourly service to the towns in the
local valley.
The cars have proven immensely
POPULAR" said Mr.. Scott. THE
novelty of the cars and their trim,
business-like appearance probably
have something to do with the way
the people have patronized them.
The McKeen company is swamped
with orders, or we would have had
the new cars before this, but it is
turning them out as fast as it can. :"
NEW TRAIN LATER.
It was decided that traffic is not
yet heavy enough to warrant putting
on a through train from North Yaki-
ma to Portland. Several conferences
on the subject were held by MIR.

ger Agent Robert L. Burns of Walla
Walla Superintendent A. G. Kamm
of North Yakima.
1t is, however, only a question
of time," declared MI Scott. The
passenger traffic has been very
gratifying from the first, and as
soon as it becomes heavy enough to
justify a direct North Yakima
Portland train it will be put on"

I COFFIN II BIROTHfRs
FINISH BIG CLIP
Three Hundred Thousand Pounds Held
for Shipment by Company at
kennewick

Stanley Coffin of the firm of Cof1i n
Brothers of Yakima is in the lowe
valley looking after the winding up
of the shearing of 80, 900 head of the
company's sheep near town. The
work is expected to be finished about
Tuesday.
Arthur Coffin of the same firm
says that the present season for wool
has been a good one both in regard
to quantity and quality of the staple.
the clip averaging about 10 pounds
to the head. There has been a good
growth and the wool is all fairly
clean. The price, however, at the
present timei not quite satisfactory,
and the company's shearings, which
are piled on the bank of the Column
bia river, will be held for time to
await the action of the market.
Mr.. Coffin says the supply all over
the country is short and it is ex-
pected that there will be a rise. It
has not yet been decided whether
the shipment of about 3OO,O
pounds, if it goes east, will be trans
ported by rail or down the Columbia
and across the isthmus, as it is
possible the railroads will meet the
rate of the all-water" route, and if
this proves true the shorter ship
ment will be given the preference.
OF other prominent wool-growers
in the valley, it is said that Dan
Goodman is holding about 10000
pounds at Kiona; the Wright broth
ers, about 81 600 pounds at Proeser,
and MCGEE & Myers. about 81 600
pounds at Mabton. George Prior
has already disposed OF his shearings.
Probably 100000 pounds remain
unsold in the warehouses in North

INSTRUCTIVE BOOK
BY DOCTOR lOWTHER
Horticulture Is the Subject That Will
Prove Interesting Here
and Abroad

There has been organized under
the laws of the state of Washington
the Encyclopedia of Horticulture
corporation, which has for its oh.
jects the compiling and publishing
of a complete and comprehensive
work of reference on horticulture,
which will contain the best methods
known to scientific and practical
men engaged in the work, many Of
whom have been engaged az con-
tributing editors. w. NJ. Fleming
is president of the organization. The
work will be compiled in the COM
pany's office in the Miller building,
North Yakima, with DR.. Granville
Lowther as editor-in-chief.
For several years DR.. Lowther
has been contemplating the pre-
paration of book of horticulture,
and with that in view has been
gathering material and occasionally
writing an article. He had not,
however planned so large a work as
Mr.. Fleming has launched, and at
first did not think it wise. But
when he saw how it could be financed
and sold he adopted Mr.. Fleming's
larger view. He now thinks it cal,
be made the best and most practical
work ever published, and will turn
his materials in that direction, be-
side preparing and collecting others.
He feels that it is fitting that the
west, which produces the best fruits
sold in any market. and is teaching
the world new methods Of horticul-
ture which are ACKNOWLEDGED to be
the only methods by which the
other sections can succeed, should
send out q literature that should be
both interesting and Instructive. he
feels also that it will be desirable
and creditable to have such a work
produced in the state Of Washing.
ton, and in North Yakima. No
pains will be spared to make thie
the most practical and helpful horti.
cultural work ever published.
Chas H., Collins of this place and
Manager Sly of the Produce COM
pany have been asked to contribute
articles to this book, the former or

DUCK RAISING IS 4 NEG
LEcTEO INDUSTRY

Considering the amount OF profit
that is to be derived, it is strange
that more people do not engage in
duck raising. The facilities of al
most any farm are such that ducks
can be easily raised. Contrary to
the usual supposition, a pond or
stream of water is not necessary,
for about the only difference be-
tween ducks that have free access to
q pond and those reared where
there is no water for bathing, is
that the former have whittier and
cleaner feathers.
Ducks quickly arrive at maturity,
are good layers and MONSTERS.
They are easily reared and seem to
thrive best on outdoor life. The
feathers protect them from cold, ex-
cept their feet, 80 their house should
be we'll drained and have plenty of
hay or straw for them to nestle in.
When a duck is properly fed it's
flesh is free from any grossness and
is fine for table use. Ducks are
ready sellers and, considering the
small cost Of bringing them TO- a
marketable size, yields greater per
cent of profit than do chichens.
A duckling grows nearly twice as
rapidly as a chicken and should be
fed accordingly. It is desirable to
obtain as rapid a growth as can
possibly be had, and that is best
accomplished by feeding well bal
anced ration of food in soft mushy
state. In a wild state ducks OBJ
tanned their food from swamps and
marshes. They ate grass, water in
sects, fish and other things that
impaired an unsavory taste to the
flesh. This diet must, in a way,
be initiated to secure the best re-
suits, but care must be used in feed
ing so that the flesh will not b
given q bad flavor. = :
For the benefit Of those who have
had no experience, few pointers
upon proper rations and care will
not be amiss. During the first
week of the duckling's life ration
composed of equal parts corn meal
and wheat bran, mixed together
while dry and then moistened suf.
fciently to make stiff mush, is
the best diet. 1t is also very good
plan to add a small amount of sand
t. each mess of feed. At the be.
ginning of the second week COM
