one of these hives the bees do not fly

The house contains twenty colonies
Of bees in two tiers Of hives. The

The hives in this house are known

One row Of hives is set on a frame
Just high enough for me to be able 10

TREATMENT OF LIVE STOCK
Importance Of Creating Good Tempera-
mont In Farm Animals Should
Never Be Underfated.

Horses, and. in fact all domestic
animals are very much more impress
sionable than they are generally sup
posed to be. Cattle which have had
q kind master man Of gentle but
firm nature. show the effect OF their
associations as breed or strain.
Years of good treatment not only
make an impression on the individuals,
but are impressed with sncl force as
to become breed characteristic. In
short, keen judge can tell pretty
nearly what sort Of association horse
has had by his temperament.
The importance Of creating a good
temperament in a trotting or pacing
horse should not be underrated. The
horse with a good temperament will
do more work and do It better than
one which has not got a well balanced
temperament

CHICKS DYING IN THE SHELL
Common Trouble In Hstohlns and One
Causing Many Failures Unno-
ticed for Many Years.

Chicks dying in the shell is very
common trouble in Matching and one
which causes many failures each year.
There was no attempt % discover why
chicks die in the shell until the hatch
ing of them with incubators became
popular, although this trouble predom-
mated when old biddy sat on the eggs
long before the incubator was even
thought of. There we're only e few
under each hen at the most and moth
ing was thought of It, but when the in
cubator came into the, field and made
1t possible to hatch them by the hun
dreds the cause of chicks dying in the
shell came up for discussion.
Remember that the secret of secur-
tng high per cent matches depends as
much upon strongly fsrtilized e~gs
laid by healthy, vigorous birds as upon
proper incubation. The more frequent
causes Of chicks dying in the shell
where the incubator or operator is at
fault are irregular temperature neg
lect in turning the eggs, improper ven
tilation or more frequently caused by
operating the incubator in a poorly
ventilated room. The directions ac-
companying an incubator are general
~ to be relied upon. and If these are
followed carefully no greater trouble
should be experienced with the chicks
dying in the shell where eggs are in
cubsted by artificial than by natural
means, due allowance being made for
the experience of the operator.
WHY hicks die in the shell is some
what of a dficult question to answer.
for the causes are not always the
same. Perhaps not in two cases in
twenty will the conditions under
which the egsg are incubated or the

GOOD RATION FOR FATTENlNG
Problem ls important One and Of vsrl-
Gus Feeds Corn Is Best Single
Grain TO BE Fed.

The question of ration for sheep az
this time OF the year an important
one. All Of the various farm grains
have been used with more or less sue
cess. Corn easily heads the list as
the best single grain for fattening
lambs Il Is especially desirable be
cause II causes the lambs to put on
fat rapidly and does not stimuate too
much growth as In the case with many
forms OF concentrated feeds Barley
has also been used TO very good ad-
vantage. Il Is about on a par with
corn fed from the standpoint OF rap
idity and economy or gains. but lacks
same in palatahility. Wheat and
wheat screenings have both been used
TO fatten lambs The feed has too
much tendency to cause the lambs 10
grow rather than fatten When com
bined with an equal amount Of corn
the lambs put on fat much more rap
idly. oats Is a useful feed. but. like
wheat is more liable TO induce growth
than fattening II should be mixed
with corn for best results Oilmeal.
cottonseed meal and gluten feed have
all been used in conjunction with corn
rations 10 good advantage Not more
than one-half pound OF either oilmeal
or cottonseed meal should be fed a
lamb weighing from 30 to 30 pounds
While wheat bran itself Is not helpful
In putting on fat. it Ia one Of tho best
feeding stuffs available to use in con.
junction with corn or other feeds in
getting lambs on full feed n furnishes
bulk. thus prevents the greedy ones
from getting too much concentrates
and also acts as a regulator OF the
digestive system.

Exports to South. America have

had never reached the 100 million
mark. IN d9di, the total was,
speaking in round terms, 1os mill
lion dollars, and in the current fiscal
year which ends with the present
month, seems likely to be about 1876
million dollars, having more than
doubled since 1905.
Argentina is the country showing
by far the largest gain in our ex-
ports to South America! The fig.
Iures now available in the Bureau OF
Statistics Of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor, indicates that
the total exports to Argentina for
the complete fiscal year will amount
to about SIS million dollars, against
.2e 1-9 million in 1906, having thus
considerably more than doubled in
the period m question. To Brazil
the total exports for the fiscal year
will exceed 80 million dollars in
vaue, against ii million in 1905. an
even larger percentage Of gain than
in the case of Argentina. To Chile
the total for the year will amount
to about Is million dollars; against
5. lie million in 1905, also gain of
nearly 200 per cent. To Uruguay
the figures Of exports for the fiscal
year which ends with the present
month will aggregate about MIL
lion dollars in value, against a little
less than 2 million in 1905.
b This increase in exports to South
America. while occurring in a large
number of articles, is especially no.
