BEGIN BUTTER BOYCOTT
Continued from first page.

The decrease on the wholesale market
was proport.onate, butter of the hrst
grade being quoted at IL cents, wnhe
that of inferior classes was several cents
lower
Compared with the prices paid to the
wholesalers in January. 1911 the present
day figures show remarkable increase
From the first TO the middle OF January
last year one large retail house in New
York paid from 81 to 33 cents pound
for butter. This year butter of the same
quality has cost from 80 to AZ cents.
The recent high cost of butter has
naturally lessened the retail trade, and
dealers in all parts Of the city have felt
the effects OF the boom. One firm which
keeps a book Of statistics showing how
its business is affected by the fluctua-
tions in the produce market says Gus
toners in many cases are cutting down
their purchases of butter to half the for
mer amount taken. while many res
taurants and bakeries are contenting
themselves with butter OF less expensive
grades.

authorities on market supplies. said yes

butter boom had passed, and 1t was. not

Mr. Vanneman said he did not believe
the present shortage to be due to any
collusion between the large wholesale
butter interests Of the country. The dis
astrous conditions which prevailed
throughout the dairying sections last
year, coupled with timidity on the part
of . the storage companies and specula-
tors, who feared financial losses as re-
suit of the passage of more stringent
regulations by the government, are
solely responsible for the present addi-

them with determination. An effec-
tive method of combating them is to
use sweet and poisoned bran, says
the Prairie Farmer. The method is
to add one part of Paris green, by
weight, to thirty or forty parts Of
bran, stir this together, while yet dry,
and then mixing it with water that
has been sweetened by the addition of
strong or coarse molasses. The old
er and stronger the molasses, to give
it color, the better it will be.
The bran should be moistened with
into a damp mass, just wet enough
to stay in little heaps. A very small
pinch of this placed at the base of
each garden plant to protect it will
be effectual. The cut-worms will eat
it in preference to the plant.
To protect corn it is advisable to
drop pinch in the corn row each
step or two across the field, so that
tho worm will find this and eat 1t and
let the corn remain. 1t would be bet
ter to put the poison out before the
corn appears above ground and thus
kill the worms early, than to let them
remain untreated until after the corn
is once cut off.
It is much better to put out the
poison bran in the evening while it is
damp, or on q damp day. so that it
will not be dry when these pests
come forth at night to seek their
food. 1t will be found by them just
about as readily if it is slightly COW
cred with earth and for this reason,
if it should become necessary to pro-
tect domestic fowls from it, one could
cover it with loose earth at the time
of application.

PLUM TREES NEED SPRAYING
When San Jose Scale Is to Be Treat
ed Lime-Sulphur Will Be Given
In the Spring.

Plum trees need some spraying,
usually on about the same lines as
the work given to the apple orchard.
Spraying should be given annually,
usually two to four times each year,
and in all cases must be thorough to
be worth while. Careless spraying Is
a waste Of time and material When
the San Jose scale Is to be treated,
the lime-sulphur spray will be given
early in the spring. A heavy spray
ing Of Bordeaux mixture or of plain
blue vitriol solution before the buds
open will aid in checking brown rot
and other diseases. Another spraying
of Bordeaux mixture, with arsenical
poison added, should be given soon
after the blossoms fail. 1t should be
specially noted in this connection that
Bordeaux mixture should be only half
strength for plum trees. Some varie-
ties, especially those of the Japanese
group, have the foliage seriously in
jured by strong Bordeaux. Perhaps
the best formula for this work is as
follows: Fresh unslaked lime, three
pounds; copper sulphate, two pounds;
water, fifty gallons.
The mixture is then made up in the
usual way, and applied with a nozzle
throwing fine, misty spray.

In reply to query as to whether

Gooseberries require cool situa'

Gather up dead branches and burn
them, as they are apt to harbor bark
beetles, one of the worst orchard pests.
Blackberries should be given space
in the garden, for there are few Ii
any, fruits that give quicker and bet
ter returns.
A yearling tree is preferred by
many to older trees. They are
thought to be safer to transplant than
two-year trees.
Plant a cover crop in the orchard.
Rye, barley, wheat and oats are good
non-leguminous plants, but the le-
gumes are better.
Don't expose the roots to the hot

ready to plant them.
If some of the trees are girdled but
partially, they may be doctored sue

A BLESSING

Nervous Breakdown Is a Warn-

Nervous exhaustion, or breakdown Of

moistened with honey from the tongue
to make the dust cohere. The pollen
dust in the hair on the abdomen is col
lected on brushes on the inner sides
of the metatarsi of the hind legs, and
this is probably moistened by rubbing
the hind legs together.
After this the pollen is transferred
to the corbicula Cor pollen-basket) on
the tibiae of the hind legs, where, as
every one knows, it accumulates into
a great lump as the result of repeated
contributions from the metatarsi But
how does it get there? 1t is evident,
as Cheshire observed, that the pollen
on the right metatarsus is transferred
to the left corbicula, and the pollen
on the left metatarsus is transferred
to the right corbicula. Cheshire sup
posed ("Bees and Bookkeeping" 1856
that the metatarsus discharges its
pollen on the corbicula by scraping its
brush on the upper side of the tibia;
but I find that this is not the case. The
pollen is scraped off the metatarsal
brush by comb (c) situated at the
end of the tibia on the inside, and it
passes into a small concave receiver
(d) that joins the comb; then, when
the leg is Strengthened, projection on
the metatarsus called the auricle (e)
closes upon the receiver, congresses
the pollen, and at the same time forces
it out to the lower end of the corbicu-
la, which is here slightly depressed
and almost wholly devoid Of hairs.
The compression of the pollen in the
receiver is an essential part of the
process; for loose pollen grains such
as occur on the metatarsal brushes
would not hold together in the corbic-
ula. In the humble bee the angle
OCtNCCI Tic oolIc1SO VI lAC 1SSClFOi
and that Of the corbicula is obtuse, and
the compressed pollen easily passes
from the one to the other; but in the
honey bee there is sharp angle at the
corner, and the aaricle bears a fringe
of hairs (f) to guide the stream of
pollen to the corbicula; also the honey
bees auricle is evidently pressed back
by the pollen, for it has no other
means of escape.

the top bud of the scion is just ex
posed. If it is impossible to do the
grating before sap flow begins. delay
it till the vigorous flow is over and
then do it. There is a decided inter
ruption after the first flow. Some
even prefer the latter period fol

ter to train the growth as before, and

BEES ARE QUITE PROFITABLE
As Adjunct to Farm Nothing Pays SO
Well When Properly Cared For
Work for Women.
nv MRS 7, TAYLOR Ohio,

(By MRS. L. TAYLOR, Ohio.)
AS an adjunct to farming know or
nothing, when properly cared for, that
pays SO well, considering the time
spent and the money invested, as bees.
Last year, two colonies produced
80 pounds per colony Of surplus hon
ey, which sold for $40. The bees cost
IS, so there is a gain of SIS, or 800 per
cent. No other stock or crop paid us
as well.
A bee-keeper not far from here av-
eraged 112 pounds Of honey from his
colonies. He sold it for 16 cents a
pound. This seems like very large
yield, but with improved methods we
expect to do even better. One farmer
in this community manages to clear
$1O0 each year from his bees. He
keeps from twelve to fifteen colonies,
and his farm does not suffer from
neglect in the least.
If the men have not time to attend
to the bees, the women can look after
them. They are generally about the
premises and have better oppor-
tunity for watching them.
For gentleness in handling, ability
to gather honey and to keep free from
moth, prefer the Italians. Any chaff
hive will answer the purpose. 1t
should be chaff lined all through; and
for wintering out Of doors chaff
cushion should be placed over the bees
to absorb moisture.

HOW BEES COLLECT POLLEN

The pollen dust gathers on the body

branched, and therefore are admirably
adapted to hold the pollen, writes F.

Culture.
In the humble bee (and probably
also the honey bee) the pollen dust in
the hairs on the thorax is collected
on brushes on the inner sides Of the
