GETTING RID OF
LAYING WORKERS
Plan Given as Result Of Many
Experiments in the Past
Two or Three Years.

1t is not difficult to cure a colony OF
laying workers il they are taken soon
after they have begun their work
that is, within four or five days after
the first eggs have appeared. II q
couple of frames of young brood, with
the adhering bees, are given, queen
cells will almost invariably be started.

for the queen will almost certainly be
inferior, 80 they may be replaced
after two or three days by ripe CELL
A queen will often be accepted at this
stage, but | have found introduction
risky.
But when the laying workers have
been allowed to go for ten days or
more, so that the combs are filled
with drone brood in all sorts of scat
tering stages, a cure may be said to
be impossible, so far as making the
colony of any use within reasonable
time. Under these circumstances the
bees will seldom accept queen II
offered in any usual way, and the
combs are too full of worthless brood
any way to allow a queen to lay.
The result Of good many expert
ments in the past two years has led
me to fix on the following plan, which
has never yet failed me. A two frame
nucleus Is made from norma colony
and queen introduced. or a very
weak colony may be used instead OF
this nucleus, IL there is one which
needs strengthening. The laying
worker colony Is set on bee-escape
board over the nucleus. That is all.
In the course of four or five days.
four-fifths of the abnormal bees will
have gone down, one by one, and will
have united themselves quietly with
the nucleus. The few bees left above
I have always fancied to be the laying
workers themselves; but they do no
harm if knocked out on the grass.
The sealed drone brood is then I'M
capped, and left to chill over night
It may then be given back to the
bees, which will clean out the dead
larvae.

II the ground was well fertilized

viding the soil Is kept light.
Much OF the trouble laid to drouth
comes through plant starvation. The
cucumber Is such a rank grower that
It exhausts the fertility Of the soil
very quickly, unless some reserve
food is provided
II you have not made due provision
for this in the planting, it may still
be easily done by digging large
hole between each four hills, and fill
ing this with the fertilizer. mixing it
as much as possible with the soil.
Rains will wash part of the fer
til,ty down among the roots, and the
plants will thus find source Of con-
slant renewal.
This will keep them growing, and
in vigorous condition throughout the
these conditions will lack the bitter
ness which we are accustomed to eX-
pect from the August cucumber.

pears it can be hand-picked early in

brood, which does not appear until
August, when the leaves have become
comparatively tough, dc no damage
Pick the cucumbers regularly every
day, being careful not to bruise the
vines in the process.
If crooked or deformed specimen
starts, pick it when small and thus
save the plant energy for a better
purpose
Keep the cucumbers picked, even
II you do not have market for them
at all times. Later, there may be q
demand. and II you quit picking the
large ones will quickly sap the life
from the vines.
1t Is questionable whether or not
1t pays to raise your own seed, with
the professional growers furnishing it
SO cheap. The process of ripening
single cucumber is an exhausting one,
and there are always some that es-
cape until they are too large for
slicers and one or two of these may
be saved, the rest being promptly dis
patched for sweet pickles.
If you feel that the vines must be
watered during the drouth, do 1t
thoroughly. Surface watering only
calls the roots upward, where they
are more quickly affected by the heat.
If threatened with blight, spray
with Bordeaux mixture in proportion
of three ounces to gallon of water.
In a large patch this will be found
the better way to fight the squash
bug, though where the plot is only for
family use the hand picking is prefer
able.
When the first frost comes it will
be we'll to protect the vines with pa
pers, straw or pieces Of old carpet;
for usually after this initial frost
there are some weeks of fine weather
in which the vines will continue to
bear.

It is generally conceded that the
best time to sell chickens Is from the
first of January to the first Of Novem-
Der. Everyone seems to want to sell
during November and December, and
consequently the market is always
overstocked at that time. Sprague
says If possible chickens should be
marketed before the first OF Novem-
Der, and il not they should be held I'M
til after the holiday in order that the
best prices may be secured This,
of course, refers only to sending to an
open market. and does not apply to
any private custom.

Farm Help.

The reason some farmers cannot
afford to keep hired man is because
they do not know how to manage
their business to make 1t pay. / have
seen farmers with only 20 acres, who
kept two hired men all the season
and one the year around.
Then ] have seen men who owned
100 acres who could not afford to
keep one. It's all in knowing how to
make the soil give up every dollar Of
profit there Is in 1t. It's poor farm
er who cannot pay man $50 month
and make dollar day profit from
his work. Some of them make three
or four times as much.

If Ground Is Not Properly Pre-

Some farmers think that fall Is the
while others are equally as sure that
spring is the best. If the right kind
OF seed is provided and the seed bed
properly prepared, the seeding may be
successfully done either in the spring
or in the fall II, however, poor seed
is sown and the ground is not prop
erly prepared, there Is liable to be a
failure, no matter when the work Is
done.
| have had success in sowing both
in the fall and in the spring. | can
not see much difference. Fall sowing
is generally preferable, because it can
be done at time when there Is not
so much rush work on the farm
This being true, better job can be
done, and, consequently. better stand
will be the result.
When l intend to SOW clover in the
fall. | plow the ground about the mid
die Of August About ten days after
being plowed it is narrowed thor
oughly and leveled with long float.
This float is made similar to road
drag and, in passing over the field. 1t
levels the ground very smoothly
Either in the spring or fall seeding
this float should be used.
In about a week after the ground
has been narrowed and leveled with
the feat, it Is worked again with
harrow, followed by light planker.
Then | sow the plat to rye, placing
on about three pecks to the acre, and
harrow the ground twice, once each
way After this Is done. l SOW the
clover seed at the rate of fifteen
pounds to the acre, and give the
ground one light narrowing.
