GOOD FARM NOTES
FOR LATE SUMMER
Go Slow in Feeding Green Fod-
der-Provide Shelter for
Sheep-Examine Bees.

Great temptation to feed green fod-
der now. Go slow and don't forget
that dew-wet and rain-soaked corn will
cause bloat.
This is a hard month on TIE sheep,
and they should have shelter from the
sun and plenty Of clean water.
Poultry is noulting these days and
that is hard on the birds. Feed no old
corn, but give them plenty of clean
stuff
II chickens are permitted to crowd
into punches in q close house these
hot nights they will easily catch cold
when a damp, cool day comes. Better
move the roosts out into the scratch
ing sheds.
Examine every colony Of bees now
and see that each has healthy
queen.
Get the seed Of wheat ready by
running it through the tanning mill
When you think you have blown out
all the foul stun and shriveled seed
run it through again.

BEST ARRANGEMENT
OF The BEEHIvES
When Placed Too Close Together
Insects Are Killed Getting
Into Wrong Entrances.

1t is strange what q difference OF
opinion there is concerning so sim
pie a matter as the arrangement Of
hives. Some beekeepers place them
not more than six inches apart Our
own experience is that five feet Is not
too far.
We have repeatedly noticed that
when hives are placed so close togeth-
er large numbers Of bees are killed
when the returning swarm enters. in
considerable numbers. the neighbor-
ing hives, says a writer in Wisconsin
Agriculturist. And then, too. there
are losses of queens when fertilization
takes place. And last and most i'm
portant Of all. II there is foul brood in
the apiary it will spread through the
agency Of the young bees. particularly
on windy days when these youngsters,
which are always accepted. are blown
away from their own to other en-
frances.
II you must place hives SO close
together, face the first south and the
next to the north. Facing to the north
will not be injurious to the bees, as
SO many imagine. In the above we
have overlooked one thing, viz. that
when hives are placed 80 close to-
gether. young queens, returning from
their wedding flights, get into the
wrong entrances and are killed.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED.
The liquor interests have unwilling.
ly given prohibition in West Virginia
much valuable publicity. Their frantic
efforts to prove that . deficit In the
state treasury IN due to the loss Of
liquor revenue has called forth from
loyal citizens OF the little mountain
state" strong testimonials on the sub
ject. In the light Of the moral. social
and economic benefits derived from
tho prohibitory law. testified to BY
men Of every class. . deficiency Of .
few thousand dollars seems Of COM
paratively little importance.
As . matter of fact the loss Of the
100000 . year in revenue to West
Virginia As . result Of the adoption Of
the constitutional prohibition amend
ment does not impose upon the indi-
vidual taxpayer any burden worth con-
sidering. In . letter written by the
state auditor. which has recently been
made public. he shows that i've cents
additional state taxes on the hundred
dollar valuation will take care of the
money loss on liquor licenses. This
would cost q man whose property was
assessed at $1,000. fifty cents; II he
has $4,000 worth. he would have to
pay one dollar. and II he had $4,000.
he would be obliged to expend i've
dollars. So much for the enormous
load of taxation being thrust upon the
property owners Of the state because
Of prohibition! The payment OF such
Insignificant amounts would certainly
appeal to a levelheaded business man

on any animal, rs success in stock
raising depends in a measure on OBJ
tanning the confidence Of the horses
or cattle, which must thrive and be
in the pink of condition in order to
bring in the greatest profit.
In raising both calves and colts II
is best to begin their training very
early. The calf that has been chased
around the farm by the family dog or
constantly irritated by the surly OF
nervous actions Of Its caretaker. will
not often grow into the quiet. gentle
COW which tends to business and new
er kicks the milk pail. The young
colt that is carelessly trained will &C
cumulate a number OF tricks that can
never be entirely overcome.
Teaching the children on the farm
how to handle live stock is one OF
the best ways of assisting in bringing
up the stock right. 1t is usually the
children, assisted by the dog, that
get the most fun out OF chasing the
cows and colts or teasing the bull from
the safety of good strong fence
Such amusement is not Intentionally
harmful to the animals. but 1t results
in bringing up horses and cattle with
bad dispositions, and these disposi
tons often cost money and result In
accidents, which are not profitable for
the farmer.
The Dolores star., 1915-08-27

The most successful managers of
live stock are the men who have q
natural affection for the animals. Be-
cause Of this regard for the stock
they watch the animals carefully and
1t follows that they are quick to note
any falling on in condition. That Is
why men with a natural affection for
animals are good feeders. BY watch
ing their condition and noting the re-
suits of changes in feed the good
feeder is able to regulate the ration of
each individual animal This natural
affection for animals leads a man into
a certain respect for his charges.
The stock on the farm all possess
nervous dispositions in certain de-
grees, and the farmer who is quiet
around the barns and quiet yet firm
in all his commands. will seldom lose
control of either a nervous horse or
an angry bull.
A horse that has been given lump
OF sugar by its caretaker will seldom
forget the kindness nor lack a friend
ly feeling for the owner who brought
that sugar. II on the other hand the
horse is offered lump of sugar and
then it is drawn back, the animal will
recognize the deception and will al
ways be a little suspicious Of the
person who plays the trick. 1t is
the unwise stockman who plays tricks

ATTITUDE OF CATHOLIC CHURCH

ATTITUDE OF CATHOLIC CHURCH.
"All the great Catholic societies re-
fuse membership to those engaged in
the liquor business" says Mr.. John F.
Cunneen, prominent Catholic and la
Dor leader. In Maine the Catholics
have a majority Of the church men,
bership, and you know how Maine
stands on the liquor question. In
Cambridge. Mass. the Catholic church
membership equals II per cent of the
total church membership, and for %
years Cambridge has outlawed the sa-
loon. While the Catholic may vote
as he pleases upon the saloon ques-
ton, the church gives him no argu-
ment in favor Of the saloon. On the
contrary, all the arguments are against
1t. Rev. James E. Cassidy of Fall
River, Mass, once said: You dare
not pray for the saloon No Catholic
who follows Father Cassidy's advice
will vote for the saloon"
