Editorial.
Low Rates not Adequate

Just how the editor of the av-
erage weekly paper, whose sub
scription price is $1.00 per year,
manages to get out as good a
paper as he does is a question
often asked but not satisfactorily
answered. Few people there are
outside of those engaged in the
business, who fully appreciate
the labor connected with such an
enterprise. Fewer there are who
care the snap of the finger SO
long as the paper comes out and
boosts the town and county, 1t is
a fact that the $3.50 paper is a
little more respected in the COM
munity.
The weekly county paper has
an influence far greater in pro-
portion to it's circulation than the
great metropolitan dailies of the
country, and is doing more to
mold and reform the people and
point them to greater aspirations
than, perhaps any other factor.
He is in fact, doing a greater
work than he, himself realizes.
Then should he not be paid a liv-
ing price for his efforts? What
is two cents copy to him? 1t
is a case of swapping dollars!
That's all For it costs him that
to produce the paper. Three
cents isn't much to the subscrib-
er but it is a big help to the edit
or. Publishers Auxiliary.
In the face of all this the
Enterprise has decided to keep
it's rate down to $1.00 for 1914,
but it must have all of that dol
lar The man or woman that
pays.that dollar cheerfully is the
kind of subscriber that reads
every line of the paper. He or
she is taking it for the value of
the paper to themselves and Their
community. But the subscriber
who comes in merely to help
someone else win prise, comes
from an altogether different nc.
tive and has an altogether differ
ant effect. We are pleased to
say that the cart wheels are roll
ing in quite steadily if not as
numerously as we could wish,
and that the first of the year
will find the Enterprise in a
healthy and substantial condition.
Now that the shortest day of
the year has slipped by, the cleo
trio light bills and to degree
perhaps, the coal bill will be on

PLEASURE IN KEEPING BEES
No More interesting or Profitable
Business Connected With Farm
Best Keepers Arc Women.
By c. NJ. BENTLEY

thy Z. NJ BEN llsr.f.D
As side line, considering the ex.
pense of installation. there Is no more
Interesting and profitable business
than beekeeping. Not only is this true
for the fruitgrower and farmer. but to
the residents OF cities. those in mer-
camille and professional lines. Some
OF the best beekeepers are women.
True il is that time and attention and
preliminary knowledge are necessary:
but experience will be gained rapidly
when the living bees are studied in
connection with printed instructions.
A visit to an apiary conducted by a
practical beekeeper will furnish valu-
able suggestions and interest In the
work. No one who wishes to derive
the greatest pleasure and profit from
his bees should expect the little fel-
lows TO do good work uneless provid-
ed with suitable hives. Do not for a
moment attempt to keep bees in hol-
low logs or plank boxes: instead have
modern hives which can be opened
from time to time so that the true
condition of your bees may be studied.
Surplus honey may be taken off with
out destroying your bees, or gwen dis
turbing them. Should your bees be-
come diseased it will be an easy mat
ter, with a separable hive, to. inspect
them and determine the cause
Like all other industries when first
undertaken. beekeepers should begin
in a simple way. II you are not
acquainted with bees it is best to be-

and square each piece SO there will
not be any triangles or bellows-shaped
pieces.
Have the field true on all sides
that is. it may be longer one way
than the other, but each side should
be straight, so if you plow straight
when you start you will have the dead
burrows even and no wedges at the
end.
There will also be no odd shaped
pieces in the center to make q lot
of extra turning.
The crooked way is used By many,
who start a furrow any old place on
one end of the field and drive to the
other end. without a mark to go by.
A little crook with people of this kind
does not seem to be of much import
ance, but crooked burrows take extra
time and are a nuisance in general.
Another thing which saves much
time, particularly in harvest. is a
space which should be left between
the fence and the field unplowed.
This should be about 16 feet wide. and
should be sown to grass. This strip
will save going through the grain
with binder. and back, and it also
saves the hired man a lot of extra
work in shocking, as he can start as
soon as the reaper does and will not
have to wait until swath is cut in
which to place the shock

MAKING PROFIT IN TANKAGE
Article Is Becoming More and More

ment to Corn In Feeding.

Tankage is becoming more ano
more popular as nitrogenous sup
plement to corn in pork making, says
the National Stockman. This is espe
cially true in the middle west, where
the packers have pushed its sale. Nc
doubt exists as to its value. At the
Ohio experiment station Professor
Carmichael placed one 100-pound pig
With each two steers being fed corn
The pigs found a full feed of corn in
the droppings from the steers. One
half of the pigs were fed In addition
to the corn one-third pound each Of
tankage per day. The increased sains
over the pigs fed no tankage amount
ed to 162 pounds for each 100 pounds
of tankage fed. At present prices oi
hogs this means a big profit on tank
age fed. Tankage contains about 81
per cent. crude protein and should be
bought now for about $40 per ton.

MARKETING OF LAMB CROP
Particular Attention Should Be De
voted to Task Of Getting Ami

Every flock owner should devote
particular attention to the handling
OF his flock In such manner that his
crop of lambs will be in proper con
dition to market when the price is
right to sell.
The increasing demand for fancy
mutton at times during the year has
given flock owners n much better op
portunity to sell their lambs when
prices are on a higher level than dur
ing the ordinary season.
The man with a flock of high-class
mutton sheep has a field OF operation

CLOSET is OF NO ADVANTAGE
Actual Test Demonstrates Poultry Do
Better Without Curtain-Found to
Be Unnecessary.

In the curtain-front type of poultry
house used at the Maine experiment
station n feature of the original plan
was the canvas curtain in front OF the
roosts.
This curtain. together with the back
wall of the house and the droppings
board under the roosts formed a closet
in which the birds were shut up at
night during cold weather. When the
curtain front house was first devised 1t
was thought essential to provide such
a closet to conserve the body heat Of
the birds during the cold nights when
the temperature might go well below
zero. Experience has shown, how
ever, that this was a mistake. Act
ual test shows that the roosting clos

the contrary. the birds certainly thrive
better without the roost curtain than
with II. II has been a general OBJ
servation among users of the curtain
front type of house that when the
roost curtains are used the birds are
particularly susceptible to colds. 1t is
not hard to understand why this
should be so. The air IN a roosting
closet when it is opened in the morn
ing is plainly bad. The fact that it is
warm in no way offsets physiologically
the evils of its lack of oxygen and ex-
cess of carbon dioxid, ammoniacal va
pors and other exhalations from the
bodies of the birds.
For some time past it has been felt
that the roosting closet was at least
unnecessary, IL not I'm fact a positive
evil. says a writer in the Baltimore
American. Consequently the time Of
beginning to close the roost curtain in
the fall has been each year longer de-
layed. Finally. in the fall of 1910. it
was decided not to use these curtains
at all during the winter. Consequent
ly they were taken out of the house.
or spiked TO the roof. as the case
might be. The winter of 1901 was
a severe one. On several occasions the
temperature dropped to 80 degrees be-
low zero. Yet during this winter the
mortality was exceptionally low and
the egg production exceptionally high.
In view Of this experience the sta
ton has decided to discontinue the
use Of the roost curtain. 1t would
seem to be generally understood or at
least unnecessary.

The head louise attacks young
chicks generally before they are feath-

head with its claws or feeders sunk
into the skin of the head. AS they
become more numerous. they attack
the throat and neck as well. The rem
edy is simple. but 1t takes a little time.
Each chick must have It's head
