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

1t is strange what a difference of
opinion there is concerning so sim
pie 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 writer in Wisconsin
Agrieulturist. And then, too, there
are losses Of queens when fertilization
takes place. And last and most i'm
portant of all, if 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.
If 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 so close to-
gether, young queens, returning from
their wedding flights, get into the
wrong entrances and are killed.

TOP DRESSING FOR
TIMOTHY MEADOWS
Diluted Liquid Manure Applied
Directly After Harvest Makes
Excellent StimuIant.

The best time to top dress timothy
and mixed grass meadow is directly
after harvest. Diluted liquid manure
applied at this time is a most excel
lent stimulant. Well-prepared com
posts of woods earth and stable
manure, or seasoned muck-mixed
with Stacked oyster shell lime spread
quite thin, will protect the grass roots
and as soon as the manure is dissolved
by a heavy shower the growth of the
grass will be much improved. The
compost must be fine and evenly
spread. Fresh stable manure should
not be used, pile it between layers of
rich earth and by fall it will be fine
enough to spread over land for fall
seeding Any mulch is valuable upon
the freshly mown grass, and the most
of it will be washed into the ground
after one or two settled rains.
Timothy meadows should not be
pastured, as close grazing is very in
jurious-the crowns are exposed to
the hot sun and if the weather should
remain hot and dry for several weeks,
most of the timothy will be destroyed
A thin coat of well-rotted manure,
say six loads per acre, put on with
the spreader, will thicken the sod, pre-
vent the growth of rank weeds and a
heavier crop of clean timothy may be
cut the following season. This is the
method followed by our leading hay
farmers.

AUTolsTs' FINES.
Complaint That They Were Denied

Trial In Eastern Shore Towns.
States attorneys of counties will
be asked to break up the practice of
some town officials of imposing fines
on automobilists without giving them
trials before magistrates. State Au-
tomobile Commissioner Roe made
this announcement In connection with
his report to Governor Goldsborough
on the system practiced in the town Of
Galena, Kent county, of fining alleged
speeders. His investigation also
showed that a similar practice was in
vogue in Church Hill. Queen Anne's
county. The automobile law gives an
autoist the right to be tried by a
magistrate and does not delegate any
right TO town officers to arbitrarily
impose fines. Mr.. Roe says he be-
lieves the practice will now be stopped
Immediately in both towns. Other
wise that he will call upon the county
prosecuting officers to act.
