case Of breeding heifers his views
have always been backed up by both
experience and observation.
When the heifer is bred to drop the
first calf at the age of two years,
and in nearly all instances this can
be done. the habit of giving milk is
early stimulated. besides the young
COW is more tractable, and thus more
readily brought under the environ.
ment Of her new condition. With the
first calf dropped at the age Of two
years # is better TO delay the breed
ing of the second calf for six or
eight months. but keep milking her
for year at least. in order to de
velop the trait Of long and persis-
tent milking After the second calf
she can be bred regularly every year.
If properly fed and handled there IS
really no danger Of stunting the
growth or undermining the constitu-
ton by early breeding For the dairy
COW should begin giving milk as early
in life as possible. and the habit OF
persistent milking be thoroughly in
stilled in the animal A heifer bred
to calve at 2ia or years Of age will
be more difficult to handle. and con-
sequently not give down her milk so
readily. thus bringing about a ten.

DUST MULCH FOR CORN CROP
Question Raised by Experiments at
Various State Stations as 70 Value
Of Cultivation.

After tabulating the results from 1874
different experiments. carried on in 2s
different states for a period Of FIVE
years, the department of agriculture
brings up the question as 10 whether
the cultivation of corn is OF any value
except 10 keep down weeds The re-
suits seem to show that there is lit
tie in favor of keeping up the dust
mulch after the weeds are destroyed.
The tests we're made by experiment
stations and practical farmers under
the supervision OF government ex-
perts. the experimental plots being To-
Gated In corn growing communities
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In
each case two plots were prepared and
planted 10 corn in exactly the same
way. On one plot all weeds were cut
with a hoe or something similar, but
without further cultivation. The 9TH
er plot received ordinary cultivation
that kept all weeds down The gen
eral average for all showed that the
uncultivated plots produced 9910S per
cent as much grain, and SOL per cent.
as much fodder as the cultivated
plots.
The government experiments be-
lieve that the roots OF the corn absorb
all the moisture instead OF its be-
ing drawn 10 the surface and evapo-
rated, as generally supposed Land
that lies fallow needs the soil mulch
because in that case there are no
roots to take up the moisture.

be obtained and introduced In place Of
the original queen. and in a short time
the workers will all be OF the same
race as the introduced queen. This Is
due to the fact that during the sea-
son worker bees die rapidly. and after
reQueening they are replaced by tho
offspring OF the new queen.
A more important consideration In
purchasing colonies OF bees is to see
TO It that they are free from disease.
In many states and counties there are
inspectors Of apiaries who can be con-
suited on this point but II this is not
possible even novice can tell
whether or not there is anything
wrong with the brood. and it is always
safest to refuse hives containing dead
brood.
The best time OF the year TO begin
bee keeping is in the spring, for dur.
ing the first few months OF ownership
the bee keeper can study the subject
and learn what TO do 50 that he Is not
so likely 20 make a mistake which
will end In loss of bees.
