Strong Colonies in
ApiarieS Declared
Essential For Honey

II. F. Coleman. in The Southern Agri-
culturalist, gives the following advice
to bee keepers:
If we would succeed To the fullest
extent in keeping bees we must have
strong colonies az the proper time. or
when the honey flow comes We can
not control the flow as TO time and its
extent, but by care and attention we
can have strong colonies at the usual
time of the flow, and be prepared on
our part to reap the maximum results
of the flow, whether 1t be great or small.
Providence provides the flow. and about
that we need have but little concern,
but we must be concerned about the
bees to gather the flow when 1t comes.
In order to have strong colonies stores
are Of the greatest consideration. A
colony with scanty stores in the early
spring. II not otherwise provided for, is
destined to be a weak colony. If II sur
wives until late in the season, If not the
whole season. To secure large colonies
in the spring the bees should have
stores sufficient to carry them through
the winter and until the flowers are well
In bloom the following spring. but It is
sometimes difficult to determine the
quantity of stores necessary for that
purpose.
1T is the experience of all bee keepers

ton, that some colonies will consume
many more stores In the winter than
others seemingly OF the same size, and
II is the safer plan to examine each and

and this demand increases as the sea-
son advances until the colony has

must not fail to see that the stores are

BY the last days of February or the
first days Of March ii is pretty certain
that some colonies will need additional
stores, and il then becomes question
as TO how they are to be supplied. If we
have combs of honey of the previous
season this is an easy matter. We can

.ART OF BUTTER MAKING
HAS MADE BIG STRIDES
IN PAST FORTY YEARS

years the separating of milk on the farm
has come more and more into general
practice Twenty years ago the Scandi-
navian peninsula and our own Eastern
states made most of the, butter of the
world Today Denmark and the Scandi-
navian peninsula are still producing great
quantities of butter. But in the United
States the center of butter production has
shifted to Iowa, Wisconsin. Illinois, Min
nesota, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri
our great corn belt states, From the corn
belt comes most of the 5000, 000, 900 worth
of butter consumed annually by the peo-
pie of the United States.
The history of butter is interesting. but
Of slight value unless it teaches us to
keep our eyes open, fully expecting that
as in the past methods of butter making
changed so in the future they will change.
But of course the change will be a diff
ferent kind of change Methods of sep
arating milk win become more and more
perfected Scientific knowledge of bac-
terra will more and more be applied to
properly ripening cream. Creameries will
necessarily adopt a more and more i'm
proved type of machinery. They will per-
feet their organization. They will get
better transportation facilities. And all
the while the demand for butter will be
increasi There will be many things
to modify the advance in butter making.
There is oleomargarine and similar but
ter substitutes Possibly the laboring
man of the United States will in the flu
ture be unable to afford butter, 1t is in
teresting to speculate.

Tamworth Hog Bacon
Breed and Will Not Be
Popular in Corn Belt
An Iowa correspondent writes:

What is the history origin and the
comparative value of the Tamworth
hog? Are they extensively grown in
Canada or England ?"
The Tamworth is a bacon breed and
like all hogs of that type is but little
grown or appreciated in the corn belt.
1t is more appreciates in Canada and
England. but even there is surpassed
in popularity by another bacon breed
the large Yorkshire
Not much is known about the origin
of the Tamworth Some think that it
came to England from Ireland in the
early part of the last century, At any
rate along in the los, high set, long,
faced thin backed, long sided red hog
was recognized in the central counties
of England as being able to forage well
for itself and to furnish prime sides
of bacon At about this time in Eng
land the consuming public became dis
satisfied with the quality of bacon and
demanded a sort with, more lean and
less fat As a result the Tamworth
increased in popularity and during the
sos much attention was paid to its
breeding and the type improved great
lv Several herds We're imported into
the United States and Canada, but the
breed has never spread much in either
of these countries.
The Tamworth is a typical bacon
hog. and as such will probably never
become popular in the corn belt ex-
cept on alfalfa and dairy farms. Two
of the strongest arguments in favor of
the Tamworth are the large size of lit
tiers and the ability to make large
gains on pasture Prominent objec-
tious are slow maturity, thinness
throughout. and light hams. We think
the Tamworth may find place in the
corn belt on dairy farms or where
large dependence is placed on pasture
in making hog gains 1t is not likely
that the breed will become popular I'M

HOW TO PACK EGGS
FOR SAFE SHIPPING
AND GOOD MATCHES

It REQUIRES considerable skill and
good knowledge of details to pack eggs
for Matching | have had good results
with baskets. Eggs shipped In boxes are
liable to be roughly handled by the eX-
press companies while baskets will be
handled more carefully Then. too,
they are much cheaper Good baskets
can be bought for forty or fifty cents
a dozen, and YOU can get covers and
labels for trifle The best basket for
the purpose is one with a good strong
handle. upright, so as to guard the
package if other matter is laid upon
1t. | exercise the same care and fol-
low the same rule for packing one set
ting as for one hundred or more eggs,
except as to the size of the basket; |
always have the package just large
enough to hold the eggs and the neces-
sary packing material. If your order
calls for one hundred or one hundred
and twenty eggs a bushel basket is
needed First line the basket with
newspapers, and then put about an inch
of excelsior in the bottom. Now you
are ready for the first layer of eggs.
After wrapping each egg in soft paper
put them in one by one leaving one
inch spaces to be filed with excelsior
crowded in firmly so as to keep the
eggs from the sides of the basket and
prevent them from shaking. This first
layer of eggs is then covered in the
same manner as the bottom. and all
the other layers packed and covered
likewise, with the exception of the top
layer. which should be thicker and
rounded up so that when the canvas
cover is seWed on and drawn down
tight the eggs can not shake round in
the basket. Sew the label to the can
vas cover. or if the cover Is of paste
board use gummed labels Print on
your labels in good sized type: EGGS
FOR MATCHING. HANDLE WITH
CARE! Use a darning needle and
strong cotton string and sew the can
vas to the rim of the basket, drawing
it down tightly so that the packing will
spring up when pressed with the hand.
A basket about the size of a ten
pound grape basket will hold a setting
of eggs For two settings an eight
quart basket is necessary, and for fifty
eggs a half bushel basket. Excelsior
for packing the eggs can usually be
procured at all grocers or furniture
stores. For wrapping the eggs a soft
grade of newspaper Is used Always
place the Small end down in the as
ket The air cell is in the large end,
and in shipping may be displaced by
rough handling. Thus the egg becomes
added, which kills the germ. 1t is also
a good plan to instruct the buyer to
unpack and lay the eggs in their nat
ural position for at least twenty four
hours before setting.
