1t is not alone the aching back, the stiff,

The condition of the kidneys makes good

The kidneys are the filters of the blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood ev-

If the kidneys are weak or diseased, only

Kidney sufferers are likely to feel dull,

be obtained and introduced in place Of
the original queen, and in a short time
the workers will all DO of the same
race as the introduced queen. This ia
due to the fact that during the sea
son worker bees die rapidly, and after
requeening they arc replaced by the
offspring of the new queen.
A more important consideration in
purchasing colonies Of bees is to see
to 1t that they are free from disease.
In many states and counties there are
Inspectors of apiaries who can be con-
suited on this point. but If this is not
possible even a novice can tell
whether or not there is anything
wrong with the brood, and 1t Is always
safest to refuse hives containing dead
brood.
The best time of the year to begin
bee keeping Is In the spring. for dur
ing the first few months of ownership
the bee keeper can study the subject
and learn what to do 80 that he is not
% likely to make a mistake which
will end In loss of bees.

DUST MULCH FOR CORN CROP
Question Raised by Experiments at
Various State Stations az to Value
Of Cultivation.

After tabulating the results from 1874
different experiments, carried on In %
different states for a period of five
years, the department of agriculture
brings up the question as to whether
the cultivation Of corn is of any value
except to keep down weeds. The re-
suits seem to show that there Is lit
tie In favor OF keeping up the dust
mulch after the weeds are destroyed.
The tests were made by experiment
stations and practical farmers under
the supervision Of government ex-
perts, the experimental plots being To-
Gated in corn growing communities
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In
each case two plots we're prepared and
planted to corn In exactly the same
way. On one plot all weeds were cut
with hoe or something similar, but
without further cultivation. The 9TH
er plot received ordinary cultivation
that kept all weeds down. The gen.
eral average for all showed that the
uncultivated plots produced 99.108 per
cent. as much grain, and SOL per cent.
as much fodder as the cultivated
plots.
The government experiments be-
heve that the roots of the corn absorb
all the moisture instead Of its be-
ing drawn to the surface and evapo-
rated, as generally supposed. Land
that lies fallow needs the soil mulch
because in that case there are no
roots to take up the moisture.
