SMART CRAVATS AND STOCKS
Old Fashion, Which Has Much to Rec.
ommend It, Will Be Welcomed
Back to Favor.

One rejoices to see that again we
are to wear cravats and stocks of
folded black silk and satin, with small
turned-down stock collars of white
lawn showing narrowly at the top.
Severe as 1t Is, this is the most be
coming form OF neckwear possible, and

she gets the chance) the severity is
by no means too great The finishing
touches of the cravat, too, help to re
move the touch of sternness Neat
and small the bow may be-but with
what pointed ends, and with how
much dash in its crisp lines! A very
smart notion Is to have the bow at
the base of the throat made of mar
row ribbon, three-quarters Of an inch
wide, This enables the bow to have
the requisite spring in its lines, and
also to be small where ribbon of the
same width as that around the neck
is altogether too flowing. For the lit

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 the
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 if 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

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

After tabulating the results from 124
different experiments, carried on in 2S
different states for a period of five
years, the department of agriculture
brings up the question as to whether
the cultivation of corn is of any value
except to 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 were 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 to 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 99.1OS 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 to 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.

EQUIPMENT FOR A BEGINNER
Most important Consideration in Pur-
chasing Colonies Of Bees Is Their
Healthfulness.
By L. f. PHILLIPS, Phi. d.

1t is desirable to begin beekeeping
with small number of colonies. In
purchasing these, it is usually best to
obtain them near at home rather than
to send to a distance, for there is
considerable liability of loss in ship
ment. Whenever possible, it will be
better to get bees already domiciled in
the particular hive chosen by the bee
keeper as the best, but if this is not
practicable then bees in any hive or
in box hives may be purchased and
transferred. It is matter of small

chased, for queens of any race may
