WORKING WITH The
HONEY CATERERS
Beekeepers Often Have Trouble
in Handling Honey in Their
Apiaries in the Fall.
tBy F. G. HERMANl


Nectar is usually thin and watery
when first taken into the hive, but ar
it is deposited in the cells, less than
a drop at time, much of the extra wa.
ter eYaporates, and further to ia.
cilitate evaporation the bees leave the
cells uncapped for several days when
nearly full.
Sometimes the bees accelerate this
ripening process by vigorous tanning
at the entrance of the hives, which
may continue all night, when honey
is coming in fast.
The more thoroughly the honey is
ripened the less liable it is to ferment,
fact in chemistry with which the
bees seem to be familiar. The con.
sistency of honey depends somewhat
upon the source from which 1t is
gathered and also upon the haste with
which it is stored
Fond as the bees are of nectar. they
are yet more fond of honey, and will
forsake the fields at any time to col,
lect load Of ready prepared sweets.
Thus beekeepers often have trouble
in handling the honey in their apiaries,
for when the bees get a scent of the
alluring harvest they fall upon the
plunder and quickly convey it back to
their hives.
Indeed. under the intoxicating infu.
ence of ready-made honey, they often
become demoralized, and like a miser
at the sight of gold, dream only of ac.
quiring the largest possible amount.
Thus swarms sometimes fight over
the honey, and finally the strong ones
break into the hives OF the weak and
rob their neighbors. Old-time bee.
keepers understand that when honey
Is to be handled 1t must be taken into
a room and the door closed, or else
there is danger that the whole apiary
may be seized with frenzy for rob.
bing.
Great care must be taken in opening
hives at such times when little or no
honey is coming in from the fields, and
at no time should honey be exposed
in or near the apiary.
Bees do not need daily attention, but
can be given sufficient food at one
time to last all winter. When natural
forage is scarce, bees will collect
honey dew, the waste of cider mills.
fruit juice, the refuse from sugar and
molasses barrels, IL available.
But this stuff cannot be called honey
and will prove disastrous to the bees
IL left in the hive for the winter.

We found the best way to feed was
to feed the bran and gluten meal be-
fore and during milking time. and the
ens.lage after milking. Tie milk was
bought by one of the large milk com
panies which supply Chicago with bot
tied milk, and was pronounced by them
fine article testing on the average
about 81 butter fat by the Babcock
test.
For dairy of fifty cows, two
round silos, each eighteen feet in di.
ameter by thirty-six feet high, should
furnish enough for the winters feed
ing, and carry the stock through the
dry time next fall.
In providing plenty of succulent
food of this nature for the dairy. milk
can be made better and cheaper, and
more cows can be kept on the same
number of acres.
In building this fall, do not worry
about the roof until the silo is filled,
no matter about the weather, as
should it rain while filling or later,
1t will do no harm, as corn fairly well
matured needs more moisture than II
contains to make the best silage and
will get it in that way.

Silos should be built in time to take
5tare of the crops before frost comes.
and the thrifty farmer will build as
lfarly as possible
i ! built round silo 16 feet 4 inches
IN diameter, by 80 feet high, and
placed in it about seven acres of
zdrilled corn, well cared, and three
Rcres Of hill corn from the shock, all
cut and blown into the silo, mixed as
~ went and wet down we'll
This made 1875 tons of the best win
tE feed for dairy cows that / ever
saw.
\ We started feeding It to fifty cows
4nd ten head of young stock on De-
fember !, and it was sufficient to last
Chem until March 10. .'
The corn put in this way furnished
saEt only the roughage, but concen-
|trates, as all needed to balance the
is'ation was four pounds of gluten meal
|and four pounds of wheat bran per
day for each COW.
Following this stock in the barnyard
was about thirty pigs, shoats and
sows, and with practically no other
feed, never saw stock look better on

DAMAGE DONE BY
0VERHEATING HAY
Two Cases Of Spontaneous Com
bustion Reported-Thorough
iy Cure Before Stacking.
fBy S. C. MILLER.l

Clover hay is now being put up in
many parts OF the country. Already
there are reports of overheating Of
clover hay.
In two cases, in Hamilton county,
Ohio, and another near Paducah, KY.
it is reported that spontaneous com.
bustion took place and one barn was
burned.
There is no doubt that not only
clover. but some other crops. as green
sorghum. will become so hot as to
burst into flame when air is admitted
1t is claimed that alfalfa will become
SO hot as to burn itself up, but there
are no well authenticated cases of this
on record
1t is believed that combustion is
produced by a fungus which is capable
of developing great heat under certain
conditions.
II any part of clover is put into a
large stack or into barn in large
quantities before 1t is properly cured,
and all dampness removed, it is apt to
heat quickly and produce very high
degree Of temperature.
The writer has seen hay SO hot in
his fathers barns in Illinois that one
could not hold his hands In the mass,
but he has never witnessed case OF
actual combustion.
He has seen, however, large shed,
on neighbor's farm. destroyed by
fire, when it was known positively that
\ no means Of setting it on fire could
have been near it for days. before
Hot. muggy weather will produce
heat In clover, particularly if 1t is
heavy and has been cut a little too
green, or has been rained upon.
Clover should be tossed up into the
air II It is damp and be allowed to dry
out before being put into the stack,
\ and If it is stacked green or put into a
large, close NOW, it is pretty sure to
make trouble.
" The only way to prevent heating is to
cure clover hay very thoroughly If the
weather is wet during haying time, the
hay must be given air and cured in
y some waX II 1t is bad case, put al.
ternate Ayers Of straw or old dry hay
between the layers of new hay.
Il To prevent heating, the hay should
' be distributed lightly over the whole
X surface Of the stack or NOV, and no
big load should be dumped into one
spot.
81 Hay gathers moisture very quickly
3after sundown. and the last load
Il brought in should be allowed to re-
main on the wagon overnight, and
when put into the barn next morning
eyidence of heat should be carefully
lool I'd for.
After hay has been put away. run a
Yong iron rod into 1t occasionally and
leave 1t there few minutes. II the
hay is heating the rod will tell the
story.
n It is dangerous to open up hay that
ls very hot, because the admission OF
FDir Is almost sure to start combustion.

the enemy's artillery and machine
gun fire from the direction of Vregny
became SO severe that no further prog
ress could be made. The positions
reached were held until dark.
THE Third corps made an attempt
to throw heavy pontoon across the
river late in the afternoon, but gave
up because of the heavy howitzer
fire of the enemy.
In the evening the enemy retired
at all points and intrenched himself
on high ground about two miles north
OF the river. along which runs the
Chemin des Danes.
Build Pontoons Under Fire.
During the night of the 18th and
on the 14th. and following days field
companies necessarily worked night
and day, throwing eight pontoons and
one foot bridge across the river under
a generally heavy artillery fire, which
was necessarily kept up on most OF
the crossings after their completion
THE action of the First corps on
this day under the direction and com.
mand of Sir Douglas Haig was of Sc
skillful, bold and decisive charac.
ter that he gained positions which
alone would have enabled me to main.
tain my position for more than three
weeks of very severe fighting on the
north bank Of the river.
About ] p, m. the enemy obtained
a footing between the First and Sec.
ond corps and threatened to cut the
communications of the latter. Gen.
eral Haig was hard pressed and had
no reserve in hand. | placed a cav
airy division at his disposal, part of
which he skillfully used to prolong
and secure the left flank of the
Guards brigade. Some heavy fight.
ing ensued. which resulted in the en-.
emy being driven back with heavy
loss.
