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 Q 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 in the form Of nectar and pollen
from all sorts Of blossoms. The nee
tar 10 eaten by the bee, undergoes GER
tain changes, and is stored in the
comb as finished honey. The pollen
is treated in q 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
surplus only.
Before you buy q hive Of bees look
over the territory within a radius of
a mile and size up Che feeding posi-
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 .
good standard beehive with q strong
colony Of Italian bees and q tested ItaL
ian queen. The eight frame LangBtroth
hive Is an excellent one for the begin
ner. While your bees might be Sc
cured cheaper from some farmer, It IL
easier to have them come right in the
hive at the start. The complete out

Most people can handle italian bees
without the slightest danger Of getting

Lions Asads on Fountains.

Most Of the things that are Gus
tomary with us had some good reason
for their origin, though we are apt
to accept them and not inquire what
that origin was, The water in a
great many public fountains. whether
for man or beast, comes out OF u
lions head. Did you ever stop to think
why lions head should be chosen in
preference to any other design?
This is said to be the reason:
Among the ancient Egyptians the ris-
i.g OF the waters of the River Nile
was the most important event Of the
year. as 1t meant life and prosperity
u the whole nation.
This rising Of the waters always
took place when the sun was In the
constellation Of Leo, or the lion. So
they adopted the shape Of lion as
the symbol for the nfegiving waters Of
the Nile, and all their fountains were
carved with a lions head. The Greeks
and Romans copied this symbol, and so
It has como down to us.-Tit-Bits.

one-Legued Chick Scared to Death

one-Legued Chick Scared to Death.
Charles Snyder. head keeper Of the
Bronx Geological Park, is broken
hearted, for his famous one-legged
chicken is dead, relates the New York
Times. The chicken was broken
hearted, too. but the ailment was the
genuine article, for 1t was scared to
death. Charles, rattlesnake. Is &C
cused Of the crime.
The chicken had been the chief talk
OF the park for some time. because 1t
was born with only one leg. Although
OF the conventional Plymouth Rock
variety, the youngster made its ap'
pearance on Keeper Snyders farm al
Scarsdale about two months ago. with
only half the regulation underpinning.
Snyder took his pet to the park to
exhibit 1t to Curator Ditmars. The
place of exhibition, however. was bad
" chosen, for 1t was the reptile house.
The sight of the chicken proved too
much for Charles. who set up a Wig
orous rafting and attempted to
strike. Other snakes Joined in. until
the chicken. fascinated and then
frightened, dropped dead in its track
(singular).
Jealousy on the part of the snakes
because Of the superior number Of
legs possessed by the fowl is given
by Keeper Snyder as the reason for
the snakes behavior.

PLAN FOR FATTENING GEESE
Fowls DO Remarkably Well on Quite
Poor Soil, Finding Some Animal
or Vegetable Food.

Goose keeping is a branch that
should appeal especially to those who
have plenty Of land available.
It is a mistake to attempt to keep
either breeding stock or goslings up
on q very limited area.
An English writer says that upon
hundreds Of farms scattered up and
down the country, there Is q good
deal OF land which does not pay to
cultivate, and which is only used as
an occasional sheep walk. On. such
land geese do remarkably well, as,
however poor the soil, they are al
ways able to find some animal or vege-
table food therein. Besides they
quickly make a great difference in the
quality Of the soil over which they
roam.
To fatten young geese, place them
In q pen not too large, so that they
will not exercise too much, and feed
three times a day all they viii eat up
clean.
/ good fattening formula is corn
meal mixed TO q dry crumbly state,
and beef scraps amounting to 20 per
cent. of the bulk Of the corn meal.
While fattening young geese they
should be kept as quiet as possible;
no excitement whatever should dis
turb them. When feeding approach
them quietly and do not irritate them
in the least, or they win not fatten.
but instead. grow another crop Of
feathers.
At ten weeks Of age, or when the
tips Of the wings reach the tail, they
are ready for market, and should
weigh between eight and ten pounds.

WHAT TO PLANT AND WHEN
Advice by IN Expert on Agricultural
Matters-Annual and Perennial
Flowers-Proiit In Bees-RaIs.
Ing cuoumbers.
BY PROF. JOHN WILLARD RoLTE.

BY PROF. JOHN WILLARD eoLTE'
Annual flowers, that is. flowers
which are grown from seed and live
only one season. are very useful for
decorating the home grounds, filling
window boxes, etc. They are no less
hardy than perennials. and they are
cheaper to plant and fully as satisfac'
tory in most ways.
A moderate use Of perennials serves
ms q fine foundation for flower gar
den, and by using ANIMALS for the bal
ance, we can have an unbroken series
OF blossoms throughout the season.
and can also vary the arrangement
from year to year.
Choose your color combinations
with care 80 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 walls.
The lower growing varieties can be
used for bordering beds Of perennials'
outlining vegetable gardens, walks
drives, etc. Wild flowers should be
planted in irregular groups in loca'
tions as nearly like their natural ones
as possible. Do not attempt to plant
them IN regular beds and geometrical
forms II you would secure best results,
Animals may be planted as soon as
the ground is ready, and many varie'
ties may go in successfully quite late
in the spring.
For mass planting, the followiT are
recommended: Scabiosa, Balsam, Cal
liposis, Coreopsis, Globe Amaranth,
Poppies, Zinnias. Marigold, Snapdrag'
on, Amarantnus.
Border Plants Sweet Alyssum,
Mignonette, Pansies, Candytuft, Dwarf
Nasturtium, Dwarf Snapdragon.
Low Beds-Clarkia, Phlox-Drum-
mondi, Verbenas, Petunias.
For late blooming background
masses we car recommend: CASTOR
OIL BEANS. COSMOS, SALIVA, AND
SUNFLOWER. For Annual Vines:
CLIMBING NASTURTIUM, LoBELIA
SCARLET RUNNER, WILD CUCUM
Der, MORNING GLORY, CYPRESS
VINE and best Of all flowers, the
Sweet Pea.
Plant lots Of ANNALS this year
They cost little and they make the
whole world happier.

CucuHnberS.

One OF the most satisfactory vege-
tables for the small garden is the Gu
cumber. It ia easy to grow. bears pro
fusely, and almost everyone likes 1t.
Eight or ten plants properly tended
will furnish all Of the fruit that the
average family can consume and there
will be lots Of surplus cucumbers to
pickle, az we'll.
They are planted by seed as coon
as the spring weather IN reasonably
settled and the first edible cucumbers
may be counted on about ninety days
after planting.
The first important consideration 10
the soil. Cucumbers. like all OF the
cucurbitaceae, love light mellow soil
and q sunny location. They belong
to a semftropical desert class Of
plants and sunshine is much more
important than water. although both
are necessary. The soil Immediately
adjacent to the seed hill should be
very rich with well.rotted compost or
manure. An excellent plan 10 to dig
out the soil to q depth Of eighteen
inches and fill in with compost and
richer soil. A fine mixture is one 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
nm inch deep and firmly cover the
seeds. II desired, a box frame may be
placed about each hill and q pane Of
glass fitted over It. This will force
the growth and enables one to plant q
month earlier than 10 otherwise pos
sible. It will also protect the plants
from the striped beetle, but care must
be taken that the glass 10 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. If boxing is not resorted to, It
is q good plan to keep the plants and
the surrounding ground sprinkled
with powdered white hellebore. An
other old.fashioned remedy Is a thin
plaster Of COW manure 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 over the ground at 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 on yellow leaves
with sharp shears and always cut the
fruit on instead Of pulling or twist
ing It.
FREQUENT applications Of liquid ma
uure 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.
