Be careful not to cut off the lower
limbs when It is not necessary, as they
are usually the very ones to be left.
lowest limbs should be from IS to "a
inches from the ground. If the tree
has been pruned so that the top is

best to cut the entire top of about

BEE-KEEPING FOR A FARMER
No Agricultural Property VIII Mako
Equal Returns for Trouble Caused
by Honey Insects

A great many farmers seem to think
that honey bees are not worth any
thing, but still they value what they
make very highly. Every one of them
would be glad to have honey on his
table all the time. II they would just
take a little extra time and labor they
could have all they wanted.
Just have few hives in the back
yard, and you will have all the honey
you want for your own use II You
have not any time at all to spend
with bees, why not let your wife or
the children have a few colonies?
Bookkeeping is n light, pleasant out
door work. Considering the time re-
quired and money spent there is
nothing that will net the owner any
more than the keeping OF bees.
As high as ten dollars worth OF
honey has been gathered by a single
swarm Of bees; but generally they
gather about two dollars worth in one
season.
Many people would keep bees If II
we're not for their stings. A bee
keeper does not get stung often-he
would not any more think of getting
stung in picking up a handful of bees
than you would in picking up a
downy little chick
Honey is a good food for the sick
and well, old and young. It can be
used a great many ways in the
kitchen in preparing things for the
table.

KILLING SURPLUS OF DRoNEs
California Bee Keeper Gives Descrip.
ton Of Sieve He Has Used and
Found to 30 Satisfactory.

W. A. Seeding of Monterey. Cal,
gives in Gleanings the following
quick way OF killing a surplus of
drones:
Il have read IN the bee journals a
description OF queen-sieve and its
uses. but never saw a drone-sieve de-
scribed, although the occasion for its
use may arise in every apiary some
times. Here 10 one that l have been
rising with good results; nail a
queen-excluder to tho bottom OF an
empty hive body and set It on top
Of another hive body close to the
hive to be operated on. and shake
into this sieve bees and drones from
every comb except the queen. and
cover II as quickly as possible. After
replacing the combs ! put a Porter
bee escape on top. and on this the
sieve with the drones, after having
brushed of the bees that have clus-
tered on the under side of the sieve.
Next morning you find all the bees
that remained with the drones have
passed down the escape, and the
drones on their backs kicking the
bucket To shorten the agony OF
death. I put the sieve over teaspoon-
full OF burning sulphur, and in a minute
It's all over"

VALUE OF BLANKETlNe COWS
Practice Adopted In Australia Found
to Give Excellent Results Dur
Ing Cold Weather.

For some years past a number OF
dairymen in Australia have adopted
the practice OF blanketing COWS dur
ing wet and cold weather. The re-
suits In every case are spoken OF as
being highly satisfactory. When cows
are kept warm the food they con-
sumo. instead OF being utilized to
maintain daily heat, ia largely de-
voted to tho production OF milk. and
in this way the dairyman realizes a
large profit on the very small outlay
required to provide blankets for his
cattle In cold weather.
Men who have studied tho subject
closely say that the effect OF covers
on COWS IS very remarkable. The
quiet COWS become more quiet and
oontented. while those that are shy
or nervous have their nerves soothed.
and submit OF being handled without
fear. This is no fad OF one or two
men, but has become 30 common
that the manufacturers have placed
several kinds OF blankets as cover
ings on the markets, with a view OF
supplying tho demand that has
arisen.
It Is said, however, that a home
made blanket, made from old wheat
bags, serves the purpose aa well aa
anything. After they have been worn
for short time they become thor
oughly waterproof.

GOOD SOIL FOR BUSH FRUITS

The Banana apple is well worth test
ing.
Pruning shears can be used every
month in the year.
The quickest growing tree for a shell
ter belt is the willow.
Pear trees planted on thin ground
are not so apt to become blighted.
Prune the currants and gooseberries
as soon as the leaves fall, or early
next spring.
Strawy, stalky manure makes an ideal
mulching fertilizer for both young and
old apple trees.
For a farm Of 12O acres about 20
acres should be given up to the build
ings and orchard.
In ATTITUDES where crimson clover
will grow, try sowing it for a cover
crop in the orchard.
While sandy soils are probably good
for strawberries. any soil not too rich
will bring good results.
