The BusY Bee.

There Is no domestic animal or
fowl that pays US as big dividends as
the honey bee. She works for moth
ing. boards herself. supports her
queen and the royal male harem. fer
tilizes the blossoms for miles around.
and frequently furnishes us With
enough honey in one year to buy the
entire hive, bees and all, twice over.
Hives OF bees are frequently kept in
large cities, as well as In the country.
We have seen a number Of hives on
roofs Of buildings. etc, where the own
ers had no other space available, and
the bees viii do just as well there as
on the ground provided the hives are
shaded from the hot sun.
Your success in keeping bees de-
ponds upon one main factor, and that
is the food supply. They gather their
food III the form Of nectar and pollen
from all sorts Of blossoms. The nee
tar Is eaten by the bee. ~undergoes Ger
tain changes, and Is stored in the
comb as finished honey. The pollen
Is treated In a somewhat similar man
ner, and Is worked over into bee bread
with which the young are fed. A fairly
constant succession of Towering plants
must be available for your bees. and
there must be enough OF these flowers
so that the bees can gather more
honey than they need. Remember that
you don't get any honey until the
bees have all they need. You get the
aurplus only.
Before you buy a hive Of bees look
over the territory within a radius OF
a mile and size up the feeding possi-
bilities. II there are considerable
amounts Of clover you are safe. Sweet
clover. fruit trees and bushes, bass
wood and mustard. buckwheat and fax
are heavy honey bearers. OF course,
ornamental flowers do their share, but
they are OF much less Importance.
II you find plenty Of feed without
too much competition from other bee
keepers. your next step Is to secure a
good standard beehive with a strong
colony OF Italian bees and a tested ItaL

portion of the food of western butcher
birds consists of SO per cent. spiders
and a few ~snails, 2 per cent. and YER
tebrates IL per cent. The stomachs
OF the eastern forms show So per

brates 28 per cent.
The difference is undoubtedly due
to climate, the western bird being
able to End insects all the year round,
while the eastern one gets very few
during the winter.
While the southern butcher bird
eats a few birds and some useful
insects. its diet is on the whole very
much in its favor, as tho consumption

WHAT TO PLANT AND WHEN
Advice BY an Expert on Agricultural
Matters-Annual and Perennial
Flowers-ProHt IN Beeb-Rals-
Inc cueumbero.
8y PROF. JOHN WILLARD BoLTE.

BY PROF. JOHN WILLARD BoLTE.
Annual flowers. that is. flowers
which r grown from seed and live
only n season. are very useful for
decorating the home grounds. filling
window boxes, etc. They are no less
hardy than p%erennials. and they are
cheaper to plant and fully as ~satisfac-
tory In most ways.
A moderate use Of p%erennials serves
as a fine foundation for a flower gar
den, and by using ANNALS for the bal
ance, we can have an unbroken series
Of blossoms throughout the season,
and can also vary the arrangement
from ear to year.
Choose your color combinations
with care so as to avoid having inhar-
monious colors blooming at the same
time. Do not use mixed seeds unless
you know what the colors are. Select
and plant beds or borders Of the same
variety and color for best effect, con-
trasting them with other solid masses
rather than mixtures.
Exceedingly charming effects can be
secured by mass paintings Of coreop-
sis, peoples and many others Of the
simpler annual blossoms. Flowers
which bear large clusters or sprays Of
bloom are effective in shady places
and against Waits.
The lower growing varieties a be
used for bordering beds OF p~erennials,
outlining vegetable gardens. walks,
drives, etc. Wild flowers should be
planted in Irregular groups in Ioca-
lions as nearly like their natural ones
as possible. Do not attempt to plant
them in regular beds and g%eometrlcal
forms If you would secure best results.
ANIMALS may be planted as soon as
TIA ground is ready, and many varie-
ties may go In successfully quite late
In the spring.
For mass planting, the following are
recommended: scabiosa. Balsam. Cal
lposis, Coreopsis, Globe Amaranth.
Topples, Zinnias. Marigold, Snapdrag-
on, Amaranthus.
Border Plants ~ Sweet Alyssum,
Mignonette, Pansies, Candytuft, Dwarf
Nasturtium, Dwarf Snapdragon.
Low Beds-Clarkia. Phlox-Drum-
mOndi. V~erbenas. Petunias.
For late bloonIsog background
masses WI can recommend: CASTOR
OIL BEANS. COSMOS, SALIVA. AND
SUN FLOWER. For Annual Vines:
CLIMBING NASTURTIUM, LOBELIA.
SCARLET RUNNER, WILD CUCUM-
BIER, MORNING GLORY, CYPRESS
VINE and best OF all flowers, the
Sweet Pea.
Plant lots of ANIMALS this year.
They cost little n they make the
whole world happier.

BUTCHER BIRDS DIET.

and Bcotles-capable Of
Doing Much Good.

The southern butcher bird IN some
Of It's numerous forms, Is found over
much Of the United States, and is
especially common on the Pacific
coast. All the forms retire southwark
at the approach Of winter and In
many localities are replaced during
the cold season by the northern
butcher bird. which comes down from
the north and winters in the United
States.
The butcher bird resembles a bird
Of prey in form of beak and to a GER
tain extent in food habits, but It
has no talons such as enable the true
birds Of prey to seize their victim
and hold 1t while tearing It to pieces.
For the Investigation Of the food Of
the southern butcher bird Ia stom-
achs Of the western ~sub-species were

hen gets too fat and also when there
is a scarcity Of lime in the bill Of fare
the shells OF the eggs become thin.
When being laid these ~soft.shelled
eggs usually break and the hen thus
acquires a taste. It is always best to

Regularity should be the keynote
Of every successful dairy system.
Make a study Of foods. and feed a
balanced ration. This will save waste.
When cut in the milk and cured, the
oat and pea hay is most palatable and
nutritious.
A good dairy COW should have all
the feed she will eat and digest, and
keep In good health.
Successful dairying depends entire
ly on right methods In breeding, feed
ing and management.
The dairymen who are not ucces
full do not apply ordinary business
principles to their calling.
Success in dairy farming depends
not only on good stock, but also on
good common sense work.
Stir the cream twice a day, using
a iong-handled spoon which will reach
to the bottom Of the cream jar.
With good COWS, good food, good
stables, all profits can be wiped out by
a n ignorant or cruel stable man.
There may be occasional bad luck
in the dairy business, but It almost In
variably follows bad management.
An exposed or an abused COW will
give less milk. and that milk Of a
poorer quality. than one well cared
for.
It is a well known fact that the
COW that makes the largest profit is

One Of the most satisfactory vege.

fusely, and almost everyone likes II.
Eight or ten plants properly tended
will furnish all Of the fruit that the
average family a consume and there
viii be lots Of surplus cucumbers to
pickle, as well.
They are planted by seed as soon
as the spring weather is reasonably
settled and the first edible oucumbers
may be counted on about ninety days
after planting.
The first important consideration ia
the soil. Cucumbers, like all of the
cucurbitaceae, love a light mellow soil
and a sunny location. They belong
to a semitropical desert class of
plants and sunshine is much more
important than water. although both
IRE necessary. The soil Immediately
adjacent to the seed hill should be
very rich with %well-rotted compost or
manure. An excellent plan Is to dig
out the soil to a depth Of eighteen
inches and hll in with compost and
richer soil. A fine mixture is n part
wood ashes, two parts sand, one part
manure and two parts rotted sod or
black loan.
Where space is unimportant, plant
the seeds in hills six or eight feet
apart, twelve seeds to the hill. Plant
an inch deep and firmly cover the
seeds. If desired, a box frame may be
placed about each hill and a pane OF
glass fitted over 1t. This will force
the growth and enables one to plant a
month earlier than is otherwise DOS
sible. It will also protect the plants
from the striped beetle, but care must
be taken that the glass is raised when
the sun is hot. or trouble will result.
Where used with late paintings and
for protection from bugs only, it is
better to replace the glass with cotton
cloth.
Remove the boxes as soon as the
plants send out runners and thin out
to the four sturdiest plants in each
hill. The striped beetle is the only
serious pest and must be guarded
against. It attacks the young plants
at the ground line just before they
run. II boxing is not resorted to, It
is a good plan to keep the plants and
the surrounding ground sprinkled
with powdered white h~ellebore. An
other old-fashioned remedy is a thin
plaster Of COW manur over both
plants and soil. Do not thin out any
plants until danger from bugs is past.
The usual plan Is to let the vines
grow yer the ground 1t their own
sweet will. The better way, espe-
cially for the small city garden, is to
train them up on a trellis or wood
and wire framework. This saves
ground and improves the fruit as the
sun gets a better chance and the
vines are not crushed in gathering
the cucumbers. Cut OF yellow leaves
with sharp shears and always cut the
fruit OF instead Of pulling or twist
ing It.
Frequent applications of liquid ma
ure to the roots will work wonders
and this practice cannot be too highly
recommended for all the later garden
plants. White Spine and Long Green
are excellent American varieties.

Removing Old knives.

To get the old knives OF a sickle,
just hold the sickle strip on an anvil.
or whatever you use for an anvil, let
ting the knife stand aver the edge,
and. one or two blows above the rivets
win take the old knife Off. In other
words. let the old knife be its own
chisel to cut the riveta on.
