Coal for LARGE Cities.

The great NAV of New York city,
the largest user of coal in the world,
absorbs over 100000 tons of anthra-
cite year. This rate of consumption
amounts to approximately two tons of
anthracite per inhabitant annually.
According to the Coal Trade Annual,
6T.6 per cent of all the anthracite
shipped is sold in the three states of
New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania Anthracite is eminently pro-
duct to be used in great cities. and the
presence in these three states of New
York, Philadelphia. Pittsburgh, Buff
falo, Newark, Jersey City, Rochester,
Syracuse, Scranton. Paterson and AL
bany, whose populations aggregate
100000 persons. accounts to large
extent for the great proportion of the
output sold in them.

These insects also infest the roots
of living trees, finding ingress through
abandoned burrows of the large round
headed borers. Sometimes they girdle

WATER FOR BEES in SPRING
Should Be Conveniently Arranged in
Wooden Pals Near Hives
Avoid All Dampness.
(By F. 6. HERMAN.)

In the spring the bees require large
quantities of water. 1t frequently
happens in early spring that they are
compelled to go to the creek or to
some pond, and in filing themselves
with the very cold water they become
so chilled that many fail to ever reach
the hive.
To avoid, place few wooden pals
or dishes filed with warm water at
convenient places in the bee yard, put
ting in few wooden floats, that the
bees may be enabled to keep on a
more or less secure footing
Avoid tin or glass dishes, as the
slippery sides will bring about the
destruction of many bees life.
Inasmuch as dampness within the
hive is greatly detrimental to the COM
fort and welfare of the bees, particu-
lar care should be taken that the hive
covers are tight and waterproof. If
the hives are far enough apart, to
avoid danger of blowing off, shade
board, well weighted down, will keep
the hives nice and dry.
And this moves me to say that
shade board is an indispensable ar
ticle in every well-regulated apiary. 1t
is also important that hives be firmly
and squarely fastened to base sup.
port, elevated some six or eight inches
from the damp and cold earth.
A free air space beneath is prefer
able for evident reasons. If you can
find time, level up the apiary, marking
out the paths, ETC. This work pays in
more ways than one, and should not
be neglected
Arrangements for the coming profit
able season should now be completed;
have everything i'll readiness so that
no time may be lost when time be-
comes valuable in pecuniary sense.
This is good management and abb
solutely essential to a proper measure
of success.

CHOLERA CAUSED MUCH LOSS
Iowa Was Biggest Loser in 1918, Hav-
ing Lost Two Million Hogs
Cause of High Prices.

Hog cholera caused a loss Of
$7S,0O0,00O in the United States dur
ing 1918. The resulting loss of pork
is estimated to be over 100000, 1000.
Iowa was the heaviest loser, having
lost 100000 hogs, or 2-7 of the entire
loss for the year. it is estimated that
the loss during .914 was fully as
great as during 1913. No doubt this
loss of hogs and pork has had its
effect in forcing tie price of pork up
ward; thus the consuming public SUI
fers, from the loss, but the producers
loss is not reduced in any way. 1t IS
therefore. as much to the advantage
of the consuming public as of the pro-
Queer to have such diseases success
fully combated, even at public ex-
pense.

worth breeds best illustrate this type.
These are of British origin and have
been developed on heterogeneous rations
mainly composed of grains, grasses
and dairy products.
Comparative experiments show that
all breeds do about equally well I'M
der similar conditions and, for feed
consumed, usually make about the
same increase in live weight and
growth. The bacon hog, however,
dresses but from 20 to rs per cent
net of his gross weight. The lard hog,
on the other hand, dresses from so to
SIS per cent. AS dressing percentage
is the most important factor in deter
mining the value of hogs in the great
markets of the central West, it can
be seen why the lard type is particu-
larly popular in the corn and grain
belt states.
AS the large packers are, able to
secure much of their supply of bacon
from immature and unfinished lard
hogs, there is no large and well-estab-
lished market of the central West for
animals of the strictly bacon type, and
although conditions are suitable for
the production of bacon hogs of high
quality, their breeding and feeding
should not be undertaken with the
dea of marketing them in competition
With animals of the lard type The
aeon hog is an excellent source of
ome-cured pork, and where there is
local or special market demand suffi-
lent to insure a good profit over the
ost of production the raising of ba-
on animals may wen be encouraged.

is not possible to say.
Normally there is one crown to
each plant. However, if the runners
are kept removed number of crowns
will be formed on each plant; some
times a large number. Growers in
some sections practice removing the
runners and causing the formation of
a large number of crowns on one
plant. This is known as the hill sys-
tenn of culture. This system makes
1t possible to cultivate the plants both
ways, thus reducing the expense Of
hoeing. In Missouri, however, the
plants are grown in what is known
as the matted row system; that is, the
runners are permitted to form new
plants until a row fourteen to twenty
inches wide is formed with the plants
covering the entire row.
The question of fertilizing straw
berries is receiving considerable at
tention at the present time. The re-
suits of several years of careful study

Acid phosphate used alone at the
rate of from $50 to 440 pounds to the

than is generally used for straw
berries.

(By w. H CHANDLER.)
The strawberry plant, in practice,
propagates from runners that form
new plants at the nodes. Normally,
after the plant sends up flower stems,
in the spring, runners do not begin
to form to any great extent before
the end of the fruiting season. How
ever, by removing the fruit stems
early in the season, runners will be-
gin to form earlier. Some growers
remove the fruit stems in this way
from young plants that have been set
in the spring in order to hasten the
beginning of runner formation. The
results indicate that the practice is a
good one.
The fruit is borne on stems that
come out of buds from the crown of
the strawberry plant. 1t is the opin-
ion OF great many growers that
these buds are formed the season be-
fore, just as the buds of peaches,
apples. ETC., are formed Experience
at the agricultural experiment station
of Missouri, indicates that the number
of fruit stems sent up from any crown
can. be influenced by spring treatment
of the strawberry planting Thus
where strawberries were fortified
with nitrogen, throwing the plants
into vigorous growth, runner forma-
ton began earlier, and certainly
fewer fruits were borne. Whether
this was because Of poor pollination

The reason that lath and plaster

~ ly for man, however, the
caste system is designed
to aid white ant" communities in de-
stroying timber, and has helped to gain
for it the reputation of being one of
the most destructive pests. Crumbling
walls, collapsing floors, breaking bean
poles and weakened fence posts are
evidences of the rayages of this tiny
insidious insect
The term white ant" is misleading,
as 1t causes many people to consider
this insect merely a variety of the
ordinary ant, and therefore scientists

The caste system, which is such a

white ant, is evident only among the
adults OF colony. When the young
have just Matched from the eggs, as
SOFT white grubs, they seem more or

along particular lines.
The workers" are probably the
most important caste in any colony.
They make the excavations where the
ants are to live, and help care for the

The soldiers" are more highly spe-

less important than the workers The
soldiers are armed with a powerful
head and "pinchers" which afford pro-

attack made through the opening of
the narrow channels leading to the
nests. Their suit of armor is not com

are quite defenseless when colony is

real ants attacks them.
