and such of her old mates and acquaint-

and industrious she has been helpmate

ion of many welded years, and now she
has gone away from it all, leaving place

In order to keep the skin in clear,

must supply the blood plenty of nutri-
ton. As long as the stomach is out of
order and the blood lacks proper nour
ishment, the skin will be affected
If you want a perfect skin that you
will be proud of, take a weeks treatment

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 ia
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 II see
to 1t 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 II this is not
possible even a 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
ing the first few months of ownership
the bee keeper a study the subject
and learn what to do SO hat he is not
SO likely to make q mistake which
will end in loss of bees.

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 IS
different states for a period Of five
years, the department of agriculture
brings up the question is 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
mulch after the weeds are destroyed.
The tests we're 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
err plot received ordinary cultivation
that kept all weeds down. The gen.
eral average for ali showed that the
uncultivated plots produced 99.10S per
cent. as much grain, and 59.1 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 nc
roots to take up the moisture.

SAVE ALL THE DEAD LEAVES
When Rotted They Become Rich Soil
for Garden-PIIe With Other
Material for Compost.

Don't waste the dead leaves; don't
burn them. They are excellent mate
rial for composts and leaf moulds.
Every leaf fire you've smelled, was
destroying something that every gar
dcnar chculd ervr.
A compost Is a mixture of bulky
fertilizing material. useful 10 the gar.
dener for enriching the soil. 1t is
made OF coarse manures, sods, weeds,
dead leaves, and all rubbish availa-
BILE. These materials are piled togeth.
er In a big, fiat heap and allowed to
rot. This requires about two years.
Chemical fertilizers may be added to
make the compost richer, II desired.
The mass must be forked and spaded
occasionally and moistened with wa
ter or liquid manure during dry
weather. The final product is a homo
geneous mass that can be applied to
the soil In large or small amounts and
without danger to it.
The plant food in composts is easily
assimilated by the plants. Garden
plants. usually, must make their
growth in q short time. and any ma
terial from which they can assimilate
food easily 10 what they need.
Leaf mould IL used In potting trop-
ical plants, a. ferns. 1t does not con-
tain much plant food, but 1t is very
good to open up the soil and make it
porous. The best way to make leaf
moulds. according to NJ. F. Ahearn. as.
sistant professor OF Horticulture at the
Kansas Agricultural College. is to
dig a hole or trench in the ground and
pile the leaves in it. The mass must
be watered frequently and turned
over. Two years are required for com
plete rotting. The mould is mixed
with the soil before 1t is applied. Usu-
ally, n part mould to three or four
parts Of soil is the proper proportion.
