REAR CALVES ON sKlMMlLK
Production Of Cheap Feeders by Pail
Method Has Become Decidedly
Important Question.

There has grown up a necessity for
the application Of economic methods
In beef production. Though feeders
may be produced from COWS with
calves at the side on large areas OF
cheap grazing land It is doubtful
whether this method can be success
fully employed on the average farm
operated under an intensive system.
In this case more revenue must be
secured from a COW during the year
than that produced IN the feeder steer
or heifer receiving the entire product
OF the mother rearing Il.
II is true that pedlgreed animals.
especially Of the beef classes reared
for sale. for breeding or for show pur-
poses. can be proftably sucked By
their dams because Of the higher
price they bring. The rearing OF
cheap feeders by the pail method has
become an important question with
the beef producers.
Dairymen. OF necessity. have long
practiced rearing calves on skimmnlS
supplemented by grain, hay. silase.
etc, and some have even dispensed
with sklmmilk feeding in quite a large
measure.
AS a general thing the pail-fed calf
suffers from neglect and want Of suf-
ficient feed OF the proper character.
but there is no secret to success in
rearing calves on skimmilk and sup
Elementary feed when it is combined
with judicious management.

BULLETIN OF HONEY PRODUCT
cisoular Of Particular Interest 10 Bee
Keepers Issued by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture.

Farmers Bulletin No. 500. United
States department OF agriculture. has
recently sent out a bulletin on comb
honey that will be Of particular in
terest 70 bee keepers. II is by George
S. Demuth. agricultural assistant.
burenu OF entomology. and treats at
considerable length OF the comb
product. analyzing the best prac-
tice and pointing out some essentials
TO the production Of maximum
crops Of the best grades.
The bulletin is mainly an argu-
ment In favor Of the production OF
attractive. high quality comb honey.
and since this combination can only
be secured in rather limited areas.
It is urged that those only who
are so favored by location will
dnd It profitable to run to comb
honey
The bulletin also calls attention
10 the fact that the tendency in
bee keeping is decidedly toward the
production Of extracted. rather than
comb honey. and. # says. II the gem
eral public fnally becomes convinced
OF the purity and wholesomeness Of
extracted honey. Il will become a
staple article OF food. Present ten
dencies. therefore. emphasize the de-
sirabillty OF comb honey OF the
most attractive appearance possible. -

BEES IN WINTER QUARTERS
Should Be Transferred Into Cellar
With as Little Jarrlna as Pos
nlble and Left Alone.

Get the bees into the cellar with as
little iarring as possible. along toward
night. and then leave them absolutely
undisturbed for several days. as the
cellar will not need to be ventilated
for some time.
Some successful beekeepers remove
the lids and over the hive place a shall
low chan tray whose bottom IA cover
ed with duck OF heavy muslin. and the
tray filed with, say an inch or mora
OF chan or sawdust, claiming that this
method not only absorbs the moisture
OF the hive. but that II also gives the
colony added warmth at the top Just
where Il is needed
Where the bees are 10 be wintered
on their permannt stands outdoors.
the best plan is TO have them In char
hives with double walls. or else have
each hive protected with many thick
nesses OF old newspapers, over which
a wind and water proof wooden telo-
scope cover should be placed. the
cover, OF course. being very deep.
Colonies wintered outdoors should
have at least 25 pounds OF honey in
them for winter stores. and n It is too
cold TO feed tho needy ones. just re-
move from their brood nests several
empty or light combs. and replace
them with fully capped-over ones that
may be on hand
Where few hives are kept, corn
stalks can be piled all around the
hives. leaving the entrances OF the
hives unobstruoted.
When we speak OF wintering bees
outdoors In chaff hives. we would not
have our readers understand that
these chan hives are extra winter ar
rangements separate from the hive
proper. but are complete hives in
themselves. TO be used both summer
and winter; and the only difference
between thoir winter and summer use
IL that when we prepare them for win
ter we put in place at the top the
chaff-hlled tray that IL stored away
during the summer season.

AS preventive to them eating the
grain, though they never have ac-

An acre Of rape too is very good.
