allied; SO the best way Is to use hives
Of large size, or those Of ordinary size
M piled on top Of the other: the bees
and queens should be given plenty Of
room.
At the beginning Of the season, one
story Of a hive will be enough. Just
before ~fruit-blooms open up, another
story should be added, containing
empty cones or frames Of comb foun'
dalton, and as the season advances,
more stories added as required.
A large entrance should be provided
at the bottom Of each story 10 as to
keep the bees inside the hive, for If the
bees cluster out in front they will be
sure to swarm; so there should be
enough room to keep the bees inside
the hive and at work.
Colonies worked this way may store
from so to 200 pounds Of fine honey.
Some colonies handled In this way
may swarm, but they will not be very
many. In such cases put over the en-

the old hive Is removed and a new

BIG MONEY IN BY-PR0DUcTS
Dairy I%ncidentals Worth az Much as
Butter and acknowledgements
at Kansas Station.

How many dairymen know that
their supposedly unimportant products
around the dairy are worth as much
as their butter and al II properly
used? The value of side lines on a
dairy farm, such as skinned milk,
calves. and the manure, are equal to
the value of the butter or cream sold.
This profit, Of course, is obtained in
directly by using the SKINNED milk
for feed and the manure as a fertiliz-
err. More work is added and conse-
auently more time is needed. but II
is as proftably spent as the time spent
in producing the main dairy products.
George s. Hine. Of the extension
department at the Kansas Agricultural
college, gathered data from al ex-
periment carried on several years
ago concerning the value OF skinned
milk in feeding hogs and calves.
SKINNED milk on the market sells at
about is cents for 100 pounds. The
experiment showed that where a ra.
tion OF one to three pounds OF milk to
M NJ
one pound OF grain (corn meal In this
casel was fed. the milk was found to
be worth from "a cents to 40 cents a
| hundred. the value varying according
TO the price OF grain. BY this method
the price of SKINNED milk Is more
than doubled. In the experiment with
calves the milk was found to be worth
from 10 cents to 43 cents a hundred.
depending on the selling price OF
calves.
Then there's the profit from calves.
Veal calves are most profitable when
fed skinned milk with corn as a sub
stitute for the butter fat in the cream
and shipped to the market rough
dressed. There also Is a large de.
mand for pure-bred and high,grade
heifers all over the country. These
calves bring fancy prices at all times.
The heifers may be used at home.
Pure-bred male calves may be sold
for from three to ten times as much
" veal calves.

trees. or cutting their limbs on OF
making that horrid noise OF pounding
the pans.
In this mi the attention the
bees require could be given BY the
farmers wife or the son or daughter
and II he will let them have the money
made from the bees. they viii get SO
interested In them that they will learn
to handle a large number OF bees 10
a short time and will be able 10 lay
aside a little ready money.
OF course there is an occasional sea
son when bees will hardly make their
own living. Then they should be fed
to keep them from starving, but there
may be only one poor seaso In four
or five. In the good seasons they VIII
more than pay for their keep.
A good but simple hive may be con
structed easily. There should be two
rows of holes, one six inches above
the other, so that when shelter is not
provided. and 1t SHOWS. the lower
holes are usually covered with snow
or ice, the upper mes remaining open
to admit fresh air, which is very I'M
portant. Then after a long journey,
bees allghting at the upper holes have
a shorter distance to travel to reach
their store of sweets.
The hive Is 12x12xf5 inches inside
measurement and when filled with
honey will hold sufficient to keep a
large colony Of bees during any sea-
son not fruitful of flowers.
For holding the comb, small round
are used, the same as In the
old hive, the cover is removable and
the edges beveled to hold in position
a small upper hive or upper stories TO
be added as needed.
Beginners should not purchase large
colonies OF bees. Begin moderately
and go slow.
Colonies placed In an open situa.
lion and somewhat shaded by trees or
will be much more conveniently
handled than when placed in an ordi-
1ary shed or out-of-door bee-houses.
The swarming bag is one of the best
in bee culture. 1t is about six
in length and one foot IN diam
7ter and formed of alternate lengths
If calico and mosquito-netting. Each
ength OF about one foot has a ring of
wire or hoop to hold the bag distend-
ID.
When the bees are about to swarm
md are inclined to come outside the
live, the bag Is fastened onto the
ront of the hive and the other end

Make a box with a sliding door to
work up and down easily. Run a
stringer over the center peg and
fasten the trigger, which has a little
notch in It, to hook behind the ton
board and to hold up the trap-door.
When the rabbit gnaws at the bait
he pushes the trigger back. which
slides through the hole and lets the
slide-door fall. This can be- made out

fastened to a stake. When the queen
enters the bag she bounds to the up
per end and Is quickly surrounded by
her followers and the swarm Is then
captured with ease.
Beginners are very often impatient
for increase. II you increase your
bees too rapidly you will get less
honey unless you have a first-class
strain Of bees. Even then II the sea
son Is a poor one or the locality In
which you live is o~verstocked. the
amount of honey may not be as large
