VALUABLE INFORMATION
FOR MAN WHO OWNS BEES.
Important-All Hives Should Be Care
fully Examined Early
In the Spring.

Less has been done toward the Inn
provement Of bees than has been done
with any other kind Of stock, largely
because the male is beyond control.
Though increase may be made in
bees more rapidly and easily than in
other kinds of stock, no other kind of
stock is so difficult to keep pure.
There Is no question that in this
country an Italian colony will store
more honey than a colony of blacks.
The best way to get a start in bees
is to buy as many stands of good,
healthy bees of pure breeding as you
can well handle m carefully increase
your colonies each year from the
swarms which these will give off.
Queens sometimes die during the
winter and early spring. and since
there is no brood from which the bees
can replace them the ~queenless colo
MES are "~hopelessly queenless." Bee
keepers In the north can frequently
buy queens from southern breeders
early in the spring. and naturally this
is better than leaving the colony with
out a queen until the bees can rear
one, as it Is important that there De
no stoppage at this season.
All hives should be carefully exam
ined early in the spring; all dead col
onies should have their hives put out
of reach Of robbers and wax moths.
the weak colonies entrances should be
contracted. and all entrances made
larger or smaller. according to the size
Of the colony. The weak that are
without food should be fed. and the
strong made stronger as fast as pos
sible.

Navel ~ In Lambs.

Navel i'll is a fairly common trouble
among lambs and is Very hard to rem
edy. Ii Is caused by the same germ
that brings on navel i'll in colts and
occurs where the ewes are kept in
filthy sheds. 1t follows the contact Of
the umbilical cord with the filth and
dirt of the sheds and is characterized
by n swelling and intense soreness of
the cord. The application of iodine. II
made promptly. will sometimes prove
effective in destroying the germs that
cause the infection. Prevention. how
ever, is always better than to rely on
this cure. Clean quarters. the use of
disinfectants and liberal applications
of whitewash are good preventive
measures.

Milking the Cow.

In regard to the best methods Of
milking n COW we are OF the opinion
that the n In which the COW is
handled has more to do with her milk
flow than the order in which the teats
are MIXED. Most mixers milk either
the hind or fore teats together, al
though there are instances where good
mixers prefer to milk one hind and
N fore feat at the same time. As
suggested before, we are of the opinion
that kind treatment In the am of
handling the COW and caring for her
wants Is more essential than whether
the cows fore teats are MIXED first

What the Farmer Needs to Know
DON'T FEED BAD SilAGE.

Avoid feeding decayed or
moldy silage to live stock. is the
advice given by the Wisconsin
experiment station.
In some instances the feeding
of such silage has caused the
death of horses and severe Eases
Of securing In cattle.
In most cases the method OF
filling the silo has had much to
do with the spelling of the silage;
hence little can now be done to
prevent the damage to the feed

avoid feeding moldy or decayed
silage TO any class of live stock.

Work Of Mrs. Herrick.
Mrs. Herrick, assisted energetically
by Mrs. Thackara, the wife of the con-
sui general and the daughter Of Gen.
eral II. c. Sherman, has personally OBJ
tanned a great deal Of money from
friends in America for the hospital
and auxiliary at Neuilly and has en-
listed the services Of every American
in the capital. President Poincare has
visited the hospital, and the French
government has paid 1t the highest
tribute possible by announcing that
only the more serious cases will be
sent there, this hospital being so much
better equipped than any other at its
disposal. Sir Frederick Treves, King
Georges private physician, visited it a
few days ago and said it was the finest
hospital he had seen. The floors are
laid with a composite of cement which
is proof against cold: there is an appa-
ratus indoors by which the outside
shutters can be raised or lowered with
out lifting the windows, thereby chang
ing the temperature of the sickroom;
there are sun parlors on the roof which
the patients can reach by an elevator
large enough to carry an invalid cot,
and there is a park at the back where
those on the road to recovery can take
air and exercise in a portion OF the
forest which surrounded the chateau
of Louis Philippe. destroyed by a mob
