PROFIT FROM TWO swARMs
Make $21 Worth Of Honey Besides
Furnishing Food for Family Of
Four for Six Months.

From an investment OF $16.55. two
swarms of bees made $21 worth OF
honey. Besides. they furnished honey
for family OF four from the middle
of June until Christmas, and gave a
new swarm Of bees worth IS last year.
From one hive. 100 pounds Of honey
were taken. At Is cents a pound. the
average selling price Of the honey. 1t
brought $l6.35. The two swarms Of
bees were worth $40. and the hives.
including one for the new swarm. at
$1.85 each, were worth $5.55, making
the invoice 1855. AS one swarm
made $16.35 worth Of honey. It made 80
cents more than enough to pay for the
total expenditure. What the other
swarm made was clear profit.
These bees belong to Custodian
Lewis OF the Kansas State Ag1icultur-
al college. He says that every farmer
who lives where alfalfa grows ought
to keep few bees. They do not re-
.quire much work and they give good
results for the investment. They
should be watched closely. but little
work at the proper time is all that 10
necessary. Honey io better than strip
or molasses.
Mr.. Lewis keeps his bees In quiet

day. He says II the bees are given

drawing the line only at anything
which will bring two hives to stand
side by side. There is no need that
they should. That the bees will, in
swarming, be very apt to mix is sufil-
c1ent reason that they should not. The
mixing will. of course, be when the
queen is clipped and the bees come
back for her after they have gone
away, when being loaded down with
honey the neighbor bees will let them
in.
The following is good stand: Cut
two boards with one end each slant

make box with these the top Of

bottom of your hive bottom-board. This
gives a slope up which the overladen
worker bees can crawl into ~the hive,
which will save time, and, If properly
made, there Is no place for the queen
to hide under the hive when. failing
to get away with the swarm, she be-
gins to look for place to stay.

Thus we see few of the very many
drawbacks that are directly and in
directly due to bad roads, and we may
add to the list, as stated by the de-
partment of agriculture, that the cost
of moving farm products to the market
and getting supplies back to the farm
over bad highways causes an extra
expense Of at least $3.50 per person
per year over and above what 1t
would cost to perform the same service
over roads that are uniformly good.
One Of the great world questions is
that Of good roads, and the sooner the
people wake up to the fact the faster
and surer will our progress be toward
higher and better things.
There is widespread clamor for a
parcel post and strong influences are
at work to get the federal government
committed to it. The indications are
that it will be tried out on a moderate
scale. Whether the parcel post will
prove a blessing or otherwise Is an
open question, and one We will not at
this time discuss. We may say, how
ever, that any attempt at the parcel
post that contemplates extending the
service to the rural mail routes will
prove a disappointment. The condi-
lions of the public roads are such that
for weeks at time it would be physi-
cally impossible to make delivery. The
carriers are taxed now to the limit

.PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed
an inaamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have stitch Of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced 1t chronic eczema. He Is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
Not until I commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came oil, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cutfcura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after We began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. l don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies We could hardly look at him, he
was such pitiiul sight. He would
fuss until I would treat him, they
semed TO relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
