BEE-KEEPING FOR A FARMER
No Agricultural Property viii Make
Equal Returns for Trouble Caused
by Honey Insects.

A great many farmers seem to think
that honey bees are not worth any
hing, but still they value what they
make very highly. Every one of them
would be glad to have honey on his
able all the time. If they would just
AXE little extra time and labor they
could have all they wanted.
Just have a few hives in the back
yard, and you will have all the honey
you want for your own use. II you
have not any time at all to spend
with bees, why not let your wife or
he children have few colonies?
Bookkeeping is light, pleasant out
loor work. Considering the time re-
luired and money spent, there is
nothing that will net the owner any
more than the keeping of bees.
AS high as ten dollars worth OF
money has been gathered by a single
swarm OF bees; but generally they
gather about two dollars worth in one
season.
Many people would keep bees If it
we're not for their stings. A bee
keeper does not get stung often-he
would not any more think Of getting
stung in picking up handful Of bees
than you would in picking up a
downy little chick.
Honey is a good food for the sick
and well, old and young. 1t can be
used great many ways in the
kitchen in preparing things for the
table.

White Holland Turkeys.

ship turkeys, and to save the feathers,
should be in position to pay what
they are worth alive; and should be
able to handle them at profit, better
than the grower, who may not be pre-
pared to do the work to the best ad-
vantage.
So much depends upon marketing
them in the best conditnon that small
growers should either dress and sell
to their home market. or, providing
it can be done at a fair price, sell
alive to someone who makes q busi-
ness of handling such stock.
Kill nothing but well-fattened stock
1t seldom pays to send illfavored
stock into market. Do not give any
food to the turkeys for twenty-four
hours prior to killing. This allows
the crop and entrails to become empty
and avoids much of the danger Of
spelling Full crops and entrails count
against value; they often faint the
meat and prevent its being kept for
any length Of time.
There are two methods of killing
largely used The most popular is to
suspend the fowl by the shanks, head
down, and cut or stick it in the roof
of the mouth with knife made espe-
cially for this purpose. This sewers
the arteries and cuts into the brain,
causing insensibility and free flow
of blood from the mouth. This is
called sticking in the roof of the
mouth"
The other plan is to break the neck
by a quick twist or jerk backward.
When the neck is completely dis
jointed the head Is pulled away so as
to form an open space in the neck
in which the blood may settle This
plan has been but little used, though
the claim is made that when so killed
the fowls will keep longer, because
there is no opening by which the air
can get into the body, as there Is
when they are stuck in the roof of the
mouth. This method has been used
more for chickens than for turkeys,
and to use 1t well requires consider
able practice The method Of behead-
ing with an AK or Ratchet has been
employed for ages.

In a year, evidence is overwhelming
that the COWS should be managed SO
as to calve during the autumn months.
For like reasons, September Is the
best month in most parts Of the coun.

In order to best develop as COW.

the stock argument on the subject.
based on long experience Of successful
dairymen, but a brief recapitulation
may be useful.
The cow or heifer calying in the fall
needs the most healthy and nutritious
pasturage just following the strain
while coming into full flow. Just at
this time, when some falling Off Is
likely to occur, the animal is brought
to the stable and receives good care;
the winter feeding and the returns
from 1t may be depended upon to ex-
coed the midsummer results for any
like period.
At the stage of milking and gesta.
ton, when another dropping off Of the
milk yield may be looked for, The fresh
pastures induce q fresh COW, lengthen
the milking season and increase the
years total product.
! December and January are good
months in which to control and super

AMPLE REWARD FOR COOKING

History of Youngest Breed Of Ameri-

The Rhode Island Reds, although
one of the youngest breeds in the
American class, are growing in popu-
larity. The history of the Reds dates
back to about 1854, but 1t Is only of
recent years that the poultry world
acknowledged them as breed, says
the Farm Journal. At that date, 1t
is claimed, Red Cochin China cocks
and Red Malay cocks were brought
into sections of Rhode Island and
Massachusetts by sea captains. Later
Rose Comb Brown Leghorn blood was
introduced in some sections. and thur

The breed is conceded to be one

MAKE THE SKINNER SECURE
Scheme for Fastening Cream separa-
tor to Cement Floor Tried and
Found Very Satisfactory.

Here is a scheme for fastening a
cream separator down on a cement
floor which we have tried and found
very satisfactory. Before putting in
the cement floor, a three-fourths inch
bolt was threaded to the middle, then
put through hole in small piece Of
scrap iron, writes Dan Belt Of La
Crosse, Kan, in the Farmers Mail and
Breeze. The bolt and iron were firm
ly imbedded In the fresh cement, leav-
ing the threaded end sticking out. The
base of the separator was then firmly
bolted to two pieces of two by four.

and the machine set directly over the
bolt in the floor. Then an old disk
from a disk harrow was slipped over
the bolt 30 the edge extended out over
the two by four on each side. A nut
was screwed down tightly over the
disk In case the cement floor has al
ready been laid, chisel out hole
about six inches square, making 1t
1aring at the bottom. Then set in your
bolt and fill the hole with mixture
OF equal parts cement and sand.

(By W. H. UNDERWOOD)
It Is q we'll known fact that by rar
a greater number of dairy cows are
allowed to follow the most natural
course, and either by indifference or
intention, they freshen in the spring.
The producer of milk for sale, If he
has an even trade, may want to have
an even number of fresh cows In
every month Of the year.
II the bull is kept confined and serv-
ice controlled, this can be regulated
as a rule, although unpleasant irregu-
larities in breeding will sometimes &C.
err and stubbornly resist correction.

duce the greatest quantity Of milk OF

In starting an apiary the first
thing to be considered Is the selec'

hives. This should be in some open
or nearly open place where there
will be no overhanging branches from
trees to interfere with the operation
of the apiarist, convenient to some
building to be used as shop for
preparing and storing hives and ap-
paratus, and near enough to the house
