BULLETIN OF HONEY PRODUCT
Circular of Particular Interest to Bee
Keepers Issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Farmers Bulletin No 503, United
States department of agriculture, has
recently sent out a bulletin on comb
honey that will be of particular in
terest to bee keepers. 1t is by George
S. Demuth, agricultural assistant,
bureau of entomology, and treats at
considerable length of the comb
product, analysing the best prac-
tice and pointing out some essentials
to the production Of maximum
crops of the best grades.
The bulletin is mainly an argu-
ment in favor Of the production of
attractive, high quality comb honey,
and since this combination can only
be secured in rather limited areas,
it is urged that chose onlr who
are so favored by location will
find it profitable to run to comb
honey.
The bulletin also calls attention
to the fact that the tendency in
bee keeping is decidedly toward the
production of extracted, rather than
comb honey, and, it says, if the gen
eTaI public finally becomes convinced
of the purity and who1esomeness of
extracted honey, it, will become a
staple article of food Present ten
denotes, therefore, emphasize the de-
STABILITY of comb honey of the
most attractive appearance possible"

BEES IN WINTER QUARTERS
With as Little Earring as Pos
sible and left Alone.

Get the bees into the cellar with as
little Earring as possible, along toward
night, and then leave them absolutely
undisturbed for several days. as the
cellar viii not need to be ventilated
for some time.
Some successful beekeepers remove
the lids and over the hive place a shall
low chat tray whose bottom is cover
ed with duck or heavy muslin. and the
tray filed with, say, an inch or more

method not only absorbs the moisture
Of the hive, but that it also gives the
colony added warmth at the top just

Where the bees are to be wintered
on their permannt stands outdoors.
the best plan is to have them in chaf
hives with double walls, or else have
each hive protected with many thick

wind and water proof wooden teIe-
scope cover should be placed. the

them for winter stores, and if it is too
cold to feed the needy ones, just re-
move from their brood nests several
empty or light combs, and replace
them with fully capped-over ones that
may be on hand.
Where few hives are kept, corn
stalks can be piled all around the
hives, leaving the entrances Of the
hives unobstructed
When we speak of wintering bees
outdoors in chaff hives, we would not
have our readers understand that
these chaf hives are extra winter ar,
engagements separate from the hive
proper, but are complete hives in
themselves, to be used both summer
and winter; and the only difference
between their winter and summer use
is that when we prepare them for win
ter we put in place at the top the
chaf-flled tray that is stored away
during the summer season.

A Good Manure Shed.

absence of this use oat straw for bed
ding whenever possible, as this will
serve to absorb practically all Of the
liquid part of the manure.
Taken in the aggregate, there can
be no question that thousands of dol
lars worth of valuable fertilizer is
wasted each year through loss of
liquid manure and through the Ieech-
ing Of manure piles that are stored in
the barn yards without shelter. The
question of the best method in which
to preserve the liquid manure is well
worthy of study.
The Agricultural College of Man
haitian, Kan, has it's large barn yard
paved with stone, which drains to a
central cistern, where all the liquid
manure is collected and later pumped
out for distribution on the grass and
other crops.

a shed may easily be built at one
end Of the barn for the gathering and

door at the end of the alley behind
the stalls, and the floor of the barn
so arranged with a drop that all ma
nure, both liquid and solid, is caught
and easily moved toward the door
and this shed. If the fields are dry
enough the manure spreader may be
driven under the shed and loaded di-
rectly from the barn door.
If the fields are too wet for use of
the spreader then the manure may be
protected from rain and consequent
waste. The only thing that could be
added to this shed to make it perfect
for its use would be a concrete floor

WATERING Plants

Proper regulation Of moisture is the
greatest factor in securing healthy
plant growth. While plants can with
stand great extremes in temperature
corresponding extremes in moisture
will surely tend to ruin, If not kill,
even the strongest.
Water should be given only when
needed and then in such copious guam
titles that the soil is thoroughly soak
ed. When potting plants space should
always be left at the top for pouring
in water. An inch and a half Will
