BEE CULTURE NOT DIFFICULT
No More Skill and intelligence Re-
qulred Than to Keep Poultry
Do Not lnIure Fruit.

It requires no more intelligence and
skill to raise bees than to keep poul-
try. It requires a certain amount OF
work and at the right time, yet this
in no sense equals the attention given
poultry. But for some reason few
farmers have bees. II 1t is lack of
knowledge that keeps them from II,
then the excuse Is easily overcome.
for there are many bee journals and
books that would give the desired in
formation. II 1t be fear of bee stings,
these may be prevented by certain APP
~pliances. Surely no one should be kept
from the enjoyment Of honey because
of cost The bees and the necessary
equipment need not cost much. Per
haps some have been led TO believe
through foolish newspaper reports
that bees are injurious to fruit. This
is not SO. Bees cannot break the skin
of any fruit. Because they are seen
sucking the juice of punctured grapes
they have been falsely accused of do
ing the ~puncturing.

GOOD FERTILIZER FOR CORN
II Gives the Plant Uniform Vigorous
Growth Which Continues
Through the Season.

The value Of a good corn fertilizer
consists in giving the corn a uniform
vigorous early growth. The stalks are
stout, roots many and spreading,
foliage dark green and healthy. This
strong, vigorous growth continues
throughout the growing period. The
crop natures early, the grain and fod-
der ripening fully 10 to 16 days earlier
than corn planted the same day on
the same quality Of land and given
exactly the same careful cultivation.
To obtain a profitable yield select
sound grain taken from the middle OF
the ear; plant when soil is warm and
mellow. Corn, like wheat and rye,
must have a fertilizer having a full
supply Of phosphoric acid. The stalk,
leaves and grain require considerable
potash. For these reasons an animal
bone phosphate containing eight per
cent. Of available phosphoric acid, two
per cent. Of nitrogen and three per
cent. of actual potash should be
bought. A fertilizer of this quality ap-
piled at the rate of 300 pounds to the
acre in the corr hills, the ground being
rolled sod, will under careful culture
give a profitable yield Of grain. On
the other hand, when a cheap acid
phosphate is used the strength of the
fertilizer IL used up in stalk and
leaves, and. unless there is sufficient
plant food in the sod to make the
grain, the yield of corn is small. When
raw or long yard manure Is spread
broadcast aud plowed under, or a
heavy sod plowed down in the spring,
IL is most profitable to put the corn
In with $50 to 800 pounds of some
good standard bone phosphate to the
acre, as the manure and soS will not
be available as plant food until rotted,
which will not be until midsummer,
and not then II the fore part of sum
msr should be hot and dry.

MAKING PROFIT IN TOMATOES
dance Of Fine Red Fruit 10 to Cut
Away eieeders.

Not all who raise tomato vines IN
abundance pick abundance OF toma-
toes. Last year there were many who
had prolific vines who picked no to
matoes. The cause was simple, writes
Frank E. Ward Of Lawrence, Kan, In
the Kansas City Star. In the wet,
cool spring the vines grew to an un-
natural size. Then there was not root
enough to make fruit In the hot
weather.
We and rich soil causes bleeders to
sprout from the crotch between the
leaf and the main stalk Or trunk. II
those are allowed to grow they be-
come many feet long and there will be
but little fruit. II they are pinched of
as soon as they appear, say once a
week. the excess growth will be forced
into the fruit and It will be ready to
ripen as soon as the sun is hot.
Should the bleeders grow unnoticed
until three or four leaves are develop
ed 1t Is better to pinch of the small
points and Illus STOP their growth,
than to cut away the whole bleeder.
When a cluster of buds form on a
branch which is not near the main
trunk the small end of the branch
should be pinched off to prevent the
leaves robbing the fruit. IN hat way
the vines are kept within bounds. You
will see by this that the fruit lateral is
not to be mistaken easily for a
bleeder.
The above sytem Of pruning Is not
original with me. 1t is used by many
with favorable results. In my gar

but little time and no expense and 1t
plant seed and go to all the expense
necessary to accomplish that work,
without first knowing what kind of
seed he Is planting.
After the seed corn has been Sc
lected and has passed all of the in
spections which show that 1t is per-
feet to the eye, a further inspection is
necessary for terminating quality.
This can be done only by using a
seed tester. Such an implement can
be readily made by anyone on the
farm.
An ordinary cigar box, with two
inches of sand in it will make an ex
cellent seed tester. When ready for
testing, the sand in the box should
be thoroughly wetted, enough water
being used to cover the sand. Hold
It in this position four or five minutes,
then wet a muslin cloth and we are
ready to set in place the kernels to
be tested. After the ears have all
been numbered, we may begin with
ear No. l. and remove one kernel
about two inches from the tip, and
another kernel about two inches from
the butt; then by sticking them in
pairs into the sand, we will have
this ear ready for testing. Follow
the same method with the second ear,
and so on, until the kernels from ten
ears are placed in the first row BY
counting down the rows, and noting
the kernels that have failed to ger
inmate, we will have no difficulty in
locating the bad ears.
After the seed tester has received
all of the kernels that can be planted
conveniently, place over the kernels
the wetted muslin rag. This seed
tester should then be placed in the
kitchen or any other warm situation.
It should be examined every day to see

Parents and Children's Faults.

Parents ought to c~ollaborate with
teachers in helping to develop the
best in their children, and conse-
quently to eliminate the worst. In
stead Of this view of the matter we

ents taking a stand against the
teacher who tries to talk of the faults
OF their children and discuss a rem-
edy, and all the work which the teach
er has hoped to do in character build

lifted hammer of the unwise and
belligerent parent, who insists that
my child" must be without faults,
and that the teacher who see faults
Is an enemy, not a friend. 1t is sell

occupying the position of a teacher is
prejudiced or has personal or selfish
motives for criticising a child.

CARE OF HOUSE PLANT
PROPER WATERING THE MOST
IMPORTANT DUTY.
Water Should Be Of Same Tempera-
ture as Room and Not Adminls-
tered Haphazard-How to
Spray the Foliage.

Watering is by far the most I'M
door garden. Sickly plants, in SIX
cases out OF ten, are the result OF be-
ing watered just whenever the owner
happens to think of il. A good per
centpge of the remainder are caused
by hn eXces OF water. Toe much Is
as bad as too little. When oyer-wa-
tered the roots are unable to absorb
all the moisture. This causes the soil
TO become soaked, thus excluding the
air. Then the earth becomes sour, the
roots decay, and the leaves or the
plant turn yellow and fall off. When
under-watered, the roots dry UP with
similar results.
All potted plants should be watch
ed. Rub a pinch of the soil between
the fingers. If It crumbles up with
out caking, then you know 1t is time
to administer water: if it cakes, then
there is still enough moisture unab-
sorbed. The water should be of the
same temperature as the room in
which the plants are kept and should
be clear.
People who pour the hot water left
the bottom of the tea kettle on their
flowers must not be surprised II the
root are scalded 10 death. The plant
should be allowed to stand and drain
for some time. Then the excess in
he saucer or jardiniere must be emp
tied out. When the flowers are In
window boxes, by the way. holes
should be drilled in the bottoms of
the boxes in order to allow the excess
moisture to drain off.
Swinging is also important. All
plants should be so treated except
those whose leaves are covered with
hairs. The value of Swinging is that
it helps to keep the foliage clean, the
breathing pores of the plants open
n the leaves and stems free from
insects.
On warm days this Swinging should
be done outside, putting the plants
where they can get the sun while TAX
ing their bath. 1t is better not to use
a nozzle, but place the thumb over
the opening of the hose and spray the
water so that it may fall on the leaves
like rain. In cold weather this should
be done in the bathroom.
Plants with large and tough leaves,
such as palms and rubber plants, need
TO be spOnged from time to time. Do
this lightly and don't rub the leaves.

According to a recent report by DR..
Conrad Biesalski Of Berlin, there are
$4,000 cripples in the German empire
out of a population of 60, 500, 900. Over
10000 Of the cripples are in need OF
proper treatment. Doctor Biesalski
states that in Is per cent of the Grip
Piles examined, their deformity was
due to tuberculosis of the bones and
Joints, and that there were 10000
such children in great need of med
