SOLVE POULTRY PROBLEMS.

n SPECIAL assistant, Miss Clar4
~ Nixon, has been appointed at tho
Oregon Station to aid in carrying
on some Investigations in the incuba-
ton of chicks. These Investigations
were begun two or three years ago and
will be greatly fastened by the work
of the new assistant. Miss Nixon was
graduated from the course in agricul
ture this year, having come to the Ore
gon college to finish her course in
poultry husbandry. She was connected
with poultry work at Cornell for ten
years before entering here, specializing
in feeding small chicks. Her work here
will be in the departments of chemistry
and poultry.

dustries, and for training them to
make practical application of the
science in their life work, which must
be early begun. They are in no way a
substitute for the regular degree work,
nor are they preparatory to taking
the degree work. But for girls and
boys, and men and women, who can
afford but a year for special prepara-
tion they offer the best possible OPP
portunity.

PARIS EDITORS VIEW OF THE
YANKEE" HEN.
ISL IN ONE YEAR the hen goes be-
1 yond all performance. 1t estab-
fishes the world s record of 291

Is N ONE YEAR the hen goes be-
1 yond all performance. 1t estab-
fishes the world s record of 291
eggs, and the Yankee specialists who
declared about ten years ago that the
laying of 200 eggs would be fine
ideal to reach now have the ambition
of surprising 300 in year"
The foregoing is from an editorial in
French magazine, "Vie a la Cam
pagne," which being translated means
Life in the Country, of February 15,
1914. The edition containing it is Il
special poultry number and carries an
illustration of the former O. A. c.
champion hen whose world record
stood but few weeks before being
broken by another Oregon Station hen.
Concerning the lessons to be learned
from the experiments of Professor Dry
den and other poultry specialists, the
editor says that we know many more
things about the laying hen than we
did in 1905, "and we thus sum up
our present day results:
"sFirst the laying of hen for a
year may go up to 29l eggs.
Second, laying hens may be classi-
fled in three sections: First, extra
layers with more than $50 eggs year;
second, very good layers with 200 to
$50 year; third, good layers with
$50 to 200 Below $50 the production
may be considered remunerative.
"Third, hens give their maximum
production the first year.
"Fourth, intensive production lasts
from four to five years.
"Fifth, the total production of a
hen may go to 5000 eggs. Up to the
present it is limited to 1882"
The French editor was highly de
lighted later to learn that hen un
der the care of one of the Yankee
specialists, Professor Dryden, had actu
ally surpassed his 3o0-egg per hel
limit by the margin of three eggs.

How a Bee Stings.

The sting of bee is fatal only when
she leaves her sting behind her in the
wound she has made. A careful OBJ
server thus describes she modus oper-
andi of the bee in indicting her sting:
If the bee has plenty Of time, she uses
a pair of instruments called palpi-
wonderful instruments full of fine
hairs, each hair terminating in deli

After the cells are completed, and
nearly filled With money, they are al
lowed 10 remain open few days, that
tae extra water may evaporate, and
me honey be properly cured. They are
then sealed or capped over with wax.
The wonderful regularity of the honey
comb is a beautiful tribute to the skill
of the tiny worker, while its slight If
regularities show it to be the work of
in diligence rather than Of an unrea-
soning machine.
The time of the drone is spent in
eluttony and idleness. He has very
short tongue, too short to gather honey
from the flowers. In size he is large
and bulky, and in each hive there are
hundreds or even thousands of them,
lust before the swarming season. AS
the season advances the workers
slaughter these drones in the most
cruel manner. In the strict sense, bee
life is communal, and the death of the
drone is necessary tb the welfare of
the hive. 1t is not profitable to carry
these idle, non-paying boarders over
the winter season.
Queen's Departure Causes Panic.
According TO the Worlds Encyclo-
pedia of Wonders and Curiosities, we
find that when queen is removed
from hive the bees do not Immediate
ly know it. They go on with their
young and do all the ordinary chores.
But, after a few hours agitation en-
sues. There is great tumult in the
hive. There is "a great TAOINmy Jsd
hive. A strong, numming noise is
heard The bees desert their young
and rush over the surface of the combs
in a Wilds panicky confusion. EVl-
dently they have discovered that their
ruler is gone, and the bad news
spreads like wiIdfire through the hive.
On returning the queen peace is at
once restored. The bees recognize the
individual person of their queen.
Should another be palmed upon them,
they seize and surround her, so that
she either suffocates or dies from
hunger. 1t is very remarkable that the
workers never attack a queen bee with
their stings.
But should more than IS hours pass
before the stranger queen IS in
troduced, she has me chance to es-
cape this cruel punishment. At first
the bees arrest anl hold her, but less
rigidly, and the crowd soon begins to
disperse, and finally allows her to rule
over the hive in which she was first

Young Bees First Duties.

The young bee is at the height of her
strength and usefulness in a few days
after she comes out from her cell. For
the next two weeks, generally, she re-
mains at home, making herself useful
in helping to do the housework Of the
hive, removing dead bees and foreign
matter, attending the queen and feed
ing her, securing wax, building comb,
caring for the larvae and ventilating
the hive.
Herman says that, when first hatch
ed, the bee appears to have no desire
to collect honey; she must first serve
her apprenticeship in the hive before
the desire awakens to go forth to the
honey fields. When older, she either

Chapman Non-Suited
Irrigation Case Containing Important
Principle Decided Favorably
In Favor OF Defendants

In the case of T. ]. Chapman ct. AL.
VS.. Lehi Irrigation Co., American Fork
and Pleasant Grove Cities, for $4,000
damages. tried before Judge Andrew
Morgan last week, was dismissed at
plaintiffs expense,
In this case plaintiff sued for dam
ages alleging that defendants per-
mitted the water OF American Fork
Canyon to overflow on his land near
Utah Lake. and was represented by
attorneys Jacob Evans and W e.
Rydalch.
Lehi was represented by Judge s.
X. Thurman. Am. Fork by Judge
Whitecotton. and Pleasant Grove by
former District Attorney Harvey Cluff.
The defense was that the water had
run down through Chipmau's land
from time immemorial and in case of
high water or cloud bursts this was
the only place for II to go. That when
defendants were taking all that their
bitches could hold they could in no
wise be held responsible for the sur
plus to which they could claim no
ownership.
The court held to the view of the
defense, and after the plaintiff had
put In all his evidence, granted a
motion for a non-suit without the de-
Tense putting on any witnesses
Plaintiffs were given 60 days to file
bill OF exceptions.
The case is much more disastrous
to Chapman than simply failing to
collect damages and having to pay the
expense of long stand suit. Here
tofore the three irrigation companies
have spent hundreds of dollars in try
Ing to keep an open channel that the
Hood water may be kept off the sur
rounding land and have constructed
long and entirely new channel for
this purpose. Now, however, their
attorneys have instructed them to
have nothing to do with either the
channel or the surplus water, so that
unless Chapman assumes the expense
he will have many valuable acres an
nually flooded with high water

For Selling Booze
Bail Fixed Mt $500 and Trial Set For
Next Week

Joe lngersoll was arrested Tues
day for selling intoxicating liquor to
A. r. Woodruff and Harold Brown
last December. He was given until
10 o'clock Thursday to enter plea
when he was brought before Judge
Nielsen and entered a plea of not
guilty and was released under $500
bonds.
1t Is understood that the city has
good case against Ingersoll and will
prosecute 1t vigorously. The reason
given for not prosecuting the case
before is that the men were hired by
the city to get evidence on a number
of other offenders here, but after buy.
Ing the liquor from Ingersoll and be-
fore catching the others, their being
employed for this purpose had leaked
out. The men went away to work
and have only recently returned.
This is the first prosecution for sell
ling liquor under the present admin
istration, though It Is understood
that from now on the city intends
taking steps to stop the illicit traffic
in intoxicating liquor which has be-
come so notorious as to give Ameri-
can Fork a lot of undesirable noter-
ity throughout the state.
