NEW GRASSES IN the SOUTH

The following is taken from the
current issue of Farm and Fireside;
Every northern farmer, when he
goes south, is struck by the scarcity
OF grass and Of good meadows and
pastures. Hay is always high in the
South. Such thing as the tall.
waving northern meadow, with the
dark clover In the bottom is almost
unknown In Dixie. outside of certain
favored locations. But last year, In
South Carolina, a hundred farmers
sowed grass in cooperation with the
Department OF Agriculture. with good
success. The seed sown was, in each
caGe, half a bushel of orchard-grass,
half a bushel OF tall meadow oat-
grass, half bushel OF Italian rye
grass and ten pounds OF red clover pc
acre. This enormously heavy seeding
was thought necessary In order to
get a stand from the start. A ton
Of lime and four hundred pounds of
fertilizer were applied to
each acre. The crop this year will
vary from two and half to four tons
to the acre. Tho movement promises
to spread until these communities
will produce hay not only for farm
horses, but stock-raising."

fer to be without such help. The
crow has a reputation as black as
his coat. He has, been charged with
causing great injury to the corn
crops, stealing fruit, robbing nests
of poultry, and eating young birds.
To determine the real economic
status of the crow, the scientists OF
the Biological Survey examined nearly
A thousand stomachs of crows killed
in every month of the year and thru
out the country. The crow was prov
en- guilty of these charges, but It
was also shown that most of the
corn that he had eaten was waste
corn and the part destroyed while
growing was only three per cent OF
tho total food. The destruction OF
fruit and eggs was only trivial. while
on the other hand the amount OF
harmful insects and mice eaten rem
tered the final verdict In favor OF
the crow. II was proven beyond
doubt that he was of more real econo-
mic value than harm.

VARIETIES OF WHEAT.

During the past thirteen years the
Ohio experiment station has been
growing, side by side. very large
number Of different varieties OF wheat
for the purpose of comparing the yield
and the quality OF the grain. In order
to check difference in soil. every third
plot has been seeded with the same
variety each year. This makes II pos
sible TO compare each variety In the
test with standard variety growing
In an adjacent plot.
OF the old varieties which have been
tested for the entire period OF thirteen
years, the ten standing highest In
point of yield are as follows: Daw-
sons Golden Chan. Gypsy. Poole. Per

ference In yield between the highest
and the lowest In this list is less than
two bushels. II should be remember,
ed, however, that wheat is raised for
human food and that quality as well
as quantity should be considered In
the selection OF varieties. With this
consideration in mind. large number
of high yielding varieties have been
subjected TO milling and baking tests
conducted under uniform, standard
conditions. These baking tests reveal
the fact that some OF the high yielding
varieties are low in bread making
qualities.
Taking into consideration both yield
and quality, the varieties standing

Caring For The Bees

ly water proof board covers will do;
but the bees must DO kept dry.
Wintering in Shed or Cellar
II the hives ere made of boards
at least 1 Ia inches thick bees
will usually do very well out In the
yard but 1t Is better to house them.
II this is done a strip Of mosquito
netting must be fastened over the
opening to keep the bees from COM
ing out, when the hives can be stack
ed up close together like so many
boxes in a good warm outbuilding or
In the cellar. But II this is done, at
least twice during the winter on
warm days the bees must be taken
out, each hive to the place It occu-
pied in the summer and the mos
quito netting removed so the bees
can come out for a flight to enable
them to empty their bowels. This
is very necessary II the bees are
to live and come out healthy in the
spring. They should not be left
out more than a day or two, and
then properly stored away again.
Early in April they should be put out
for the summer.
Feeding the Bees
BY having hives with good upper
and lower compartments, all the
honey can be taken from the Sec
tons above and the bees fed during
the winter when necessary. This IS
the easiest thing in the world and
costs very little. All hives should be
examined in October to see that they
have plenty of honey to last till
Christmas at least. II any are found
that have not. they should be fed.
For each swarm to be fed, take
two quarts of graduated sugar dis
solved in the same amount of wat
er. Bring this to a boil and then al
low to get colo. In the morning when
1t is cool and the bees are sluggish
take out the frames of empty comb
one at time. Set the frame in
pan and tip II enough so you can
pour the thin syrup out of a small
pitcher onto the broadside of comb
and every little cell can readily be
filled with the best kind of bee
food. Then tip the other way and,
fill the other side. Each frame CT
every hive necessary can be filled
this way. Again about January list,
the bees should be fed again for the
rest OF the winter. and the swarms
will all come out strong in the
spring, and an outlay Of 25 cents to
80 cents has saved $500 to $3.50.
Profits Of Bee Keeping
NJ. {. /. Ogg of Berea started
into the winter a year ago with -
swarms of bees. He cared for them
as related above, feeding them about
five dollars worth of sugar during
last winter. Hs took 1925 worth OF
honey this summer and made 10
new swarms OF bees besides keep
ing all the old ones. These 40 new
swarms are worth at least $50, maxi
ing the seasons profit from ~
swarms amount to s2O5 or s7.O7 for
each swarm.
Probably not many men will try
to keep so n,any bees, but every
one should have a few swarms and
with very little intelligent care they
will furnish al the honey you need
for the familS and enough money
to keep one or two of the children

for he works with untiring energy
all through the long summer to lay
up his store Of honey. and, when we
come along and take II from him. ne
works all the harder to make up the
Joss. Such friends are worth taking
care Of. They need proper housing
and food to carry them through the
winter. when there is nothing they
can do to provide for themselves.
The Hives
A good swarm of bees is worth
$500 to $3.50 without the hive. and
II pays to provide them with a good
box hive. This hive should have an
upper and lower compartment. The
lower compartment should be fitted
up with frame In which bees can
store their food and raise their
broods. The upper compartment
should be the right size to hold the
pound sections OF honey to be taken
off for sale and for home use. When
winter comes on the upper part
should be taken off from all the
hives and stored one above another
in a dry clean place where they will
keep till spring when they can be
put back on the hives, and the bees
can go right on building and filling
the combs they started the fall be-
fore They should not be put on.
however, until the bec3 have got the
lower part OF the hive pretty well
filled with honey again. BY taking
off and storing the tops We not only
keep the foundations OF comb and
the comb already made in good con-
dition. but We compel the bees 20
crowd close together in cold weather
to keep warm.
Ventilation
II bees have plenty of honey or
are properly ted, many more smoth-
er than freeze to death. IL is there
fore very important to see that they
get fresh air The regulation size
opening into the hive in summer is
"a inch high clear across the front
of the hive. In winter this should
be covered with a strip of wood leaN-
ing an opening 3-S inch high which
allows the bees to go in and out ON
warm days and gives sufficient vent-
lation In winte.. When a snow storm
comes the snow should always he
swept from opening, for bees can
be smothered to death in this way
in a very short time. Then, too, II
the opening is not closed mice are

sull have the old style hollow log
gums, with noles bored through TO
let the bees in and out, be sure these
openings are closed sufficiently 10
keep mice out but still let the bees
go out and in.
Keep the Bees Dry
1t is important to keep the bees
warm, but much more SO to keep
them dry. Probably the best cover
for hives is rubber roofing which
should be cut into covers for each
hive you have SC the projecting parts
will bend down of their own weight
and form an excellent protection 20
