this occurs broodrearing is apt to be
continued throughout the winter with
most disastrous results. There is
probably no place in the United States
where 1t is safe to put of packing un-
til after Thanksgiving day.
Even hives that have been properly
insulated and packed early must be
protected from the wind if the bene.
fits of these precautions fully are to
be realized. Just as the beekeeper
cannot give his hives too much insu-
Iation, so he cannot give them too
thorough protection from the wind.
Another weak point in the wintering
of many colonies is the entrance to
the hive. This should be no larger
than an opening inches wide and %
of an inch high, constructed as a tun-
mel through the packing. It should
be carefully shielded from the wind
under all circumstances.
BY adopting these precautions the
beekeeper will place his colonies in
position to endure the hardships of
outside wintering with minimum of
exertion. If he is further careful by
prolonging brood-rearing in the late
summer and by the prevention of
swarming, to see that his colonies in
the fall are both strong in numbers
and full of young bees, he will find
that they emerge in the spring in ex-
cellent condition. Old bees are quick
ly exhausted by the work of heat gen.
Grafton, and even If they survive the
winter, are incapable of carrying on
the task of brood-rearing in the
spring. 1t is therefore most import
ant that the colonies should contain a
large proportion of young bees whose
vitality cannot be so quickly ex-
hausted.

mer. Common belief has been that
the Hessian fly was doing the destruc-
tive work, but Herbert Howland, a
University of Kansas student, dis
covered this new insect on some
wheat on his farm near Atwood last
summer and sent 1t to the entomology
department of the state agricultural
college. On close investigation the
parasite was found to be the bulb
worm.
This little pest is not content with
waiting until the grain is ripe to get
in its work, but starts the process OF
destruction early in the summer by
eating at the stalk and stunting the
growth. This leads to a premature
ripening of the heads making the yell

FIGHTING The HUG CHOLERA
Kansas Farmers Lose S3,ooo,ooo 9
Year by Disease-Sanitation the
Best Weapon.

Hog cholera is costing the Kansas
farmers three million dollars year.
j. H. Mohler, secretary of the Kansas
Board of Agriculture, has just COM
pleted a table of statistics gathered
directly from the farmers as to the
hog cholera losses for the last three
years. 1t shows total of 312,126 in
1915, 177,277 in 1914 and 390621 in
1913. The average assessed value of
a hog in Kansas is $1050. On this
basis, which is slightly lower than the
actual value, the loss in three years
comes to little more than nine mil
lion dollars.
J. H. Mercer, state sanitary live
stock commissioner, in cooperation
with the state agricultural college, the
federal authorities and farmers or
ganizations, in eighteen months has
cut down the number of farms in Mar
shall county in which there was hog
cholera from 1856 to none The same
scheme for fighting the cholera, in
which sanitation, with immunization
only when there is danger of the dis
ease, plays the principal part, is be-
ing extended to other counties in the
state.
Brown county suffered the heaviest
loss in the twelve months ending last
March, according to the assessors re-
ports, which show that 1854 hogs,
worth approximately $150,000, died
during the year. Jewell county, two
years earlier, reported loss of 25,777
hogs, worth more than a quarter mil
lion dollars

TUBERS FOR WIN FER
Farmer Must Exercise Care in
Selecting Potatoes - Dry
Cellar Is Best Place.

It will soon be time to plan fof
storing the winter potatoes. In order
to prevent loss of potatoes after stor
age, the farmer must use care in Sc
lecting his tubers for storage.
All potatoes showing signs of rot or
those bruised in handling, should be
used or sold and not stored. The organ
isms that cause rot in potatoes attack
the tubers in the fields, or through
wounds when handled, and this Infec'
ton spreads throughout the crop.
The tubers should be stored in dry,
well-ventilated cellar. A warm, moist
cellar is very favorable to rot The
temperature of the storage cellar
should be kept at about S6 Fahi anhNt
