German Food Saving Schemes.

the people in economical living. Boys
attending Berlin schools are now bring
ing home a printed circular to be hume,
up in their homes, showing in detail
how food can be saved and best used
q sort Of Ten Commandments for war
times. The commandments are as fol-
lows:
Everybody must save for only II every
body saves will Germany's supplies hold
out.
Waste no food, not even the most un-
important.
Take time for eating and chew thor
oughly.
Avoid all eating between meals.
Eat rye instead of wheat bread and be
economical with bread.
BE economical with butter and eat
cheese. fruit sauces and marmalade in
stead of butter.
Eat ~abundantly of fresh vegetables so
as to save meat. fats and bread.
At table call for potatoes in the skins.
Buy chocolates and sweets and send to
the soldiers at the front-we can gladly
dispense with these things.
In all that you do, remember that you
can contribute you modest share toward
helping create the new fatherland that
we are all hoping for. Practice self sacri-
flee and work.

SPRING CARE OF BEES.


Now is the time to remove all drone
combs from the brood nest and replace
them with good worker combs. If
worker combs are not available, then
use frames with full sheets of founda-
ton in them.
All %queenless colonies should be CIV
en- young queens that a be secured
from the queen breeders in the south
ern states, and if it is not convenient
to send for them then give from some
strong colony a nice comb of young
brood with freshly laid eggs in it, and
from these %queenless colonies several
good queens can be reared and the en-
tire apiary requeened.
It's a mighty good thing to requiem
the entire apiary every season, for it
not only means less swarming, but
more bees raised from a vigorous queen
and an upbuilding of the stock.
The honey from the early fruit bloom
will be the honey on which the early
brood is reared, while the main sup
plies from the early flow will be in
June from the clovers.
For this reason it is best not to place
supers on the hives until the proper
time arrives, though this is not an
infallible rule, IS II should be gov
erned by the condition of the brood
nest.
If the tops Of the brood combs are
filled with honey and nicely capped
with new caps, then put the supers on
for either comb or extracted honey

! Things the Farmer Likes to Know
SUGGESTIONS FOR FLOWING.
Depth Depends Upon Season Of Tho
Year and Kind Of Soil.

Depth Depends Upon Season Of tho
Year and Kind Of Soil.
The depth at which land should be
plowed depends much upon the season
of the year, the kind of soil and the
physical condition Of the subsoil. Fail
should invariably be deeper than spring
blowing, as there is more time for it TO
become sufficiently settled and COM
pacted. Whenever land is plowed quite
deeply and the climatic conditions do
not thoroughly settle the burrows it
should be thoroughly worked before it
is planted.
Heavy soils need to be plowed deeper
than the lighter types of soils. Such
soils usually have quite compact sub
soils. and they are benefited by being
brought to the surface. It is also &
benefit to heavy soils to bury the vege-
table matter at a good depth, as this
will assist in keeping the subsoil from
becoming too compact.
Lighter soils are very much the Cd.
posite. Their subsoils are usually not

the vegetable matter mixed with the
surface soil. Deep blowing Of such
soils has a tendency to make them too
loose, and care should be taken to thor
oughly compact them before they are
planted to crops.
Flowing land continuously at the
same depth every time has a tendency
to form a hard, compact layer in the
subsoil at that depth. This is an un-
desirable condition and can usually be
avoided by varying the depth slightly
from year to year. New land when
first brought under the pillow should
not be plowed too deeply. While it
may be desirable to ultimately have a
furrow six or seven inches in depth, it
should be brought about gradually by
blowing q half inch or so deeper every
year.

New British Sea Monster Building.

London, May 22.-According to the
Tribune, England has laid down a new
battleship which will be by far the
most powerful craft afloat. 1t will
mark a change in b%attleship construc-
ton, exceeding that which came when
the first Drcadnought was built. 1t
will necessitate the adoption Of new
methods in battleship construction and
will halt the construction program Of
the United States.
It Is stated that this great new ship
will be 500 feet in length, will carry
six fifteen-inch guns and have the Won
derful speed Of forty knots.
At present the Queen Elizabeth, now
at the Dardanelles, is England's most
powerful engine Of wal afloat. She is,
however, only $50 feet in length, but
carries eight ffteen-inch guns. She is
oil driven, as the new ship will be. In
the craft now planned armament is
sacrificed for increased speed. The in
creased length gives the great boiler
and engine room capacity needed to
produce such speed.

DAIRY WISDOM.

If YOU have no silo plant the
corn to fill one and build the silo
while the corn is growing. Six
or eight COWS will warrant a silo.
The dairy COW is like a good
machine-she requires attention
and care. The care must be
thorough and consistent.
The dairy bull has an influence
on the heifers of the entire herd,
while the COW influences one calf
each year.
In order to know whether a
COW is profitable or not you must
know what she eats and what
she Yields. Either alone is not
sufficient.
Carelessness is one of the most
common causes of failure on the
dairy farm. Look to your work
and to the details every day.

Largest Aqueduct Now Supplies Italy.

Bari, Italy. May 24.-Water from the
Apennines is now distributed to the
provinces of Bari, Foggia and Lecce,

was begun in 1905. More than 2,OOO,-
600 persons now are assured of a sup
ply fresh from mountain streams,
brought through 1875 miles of pipe.
The territory served has suffered for
centuries from lack Of an adequate
supply.
For the construction of the a%Queduct,
the cost of which is estimated at S3O,-
100000 and upon which 1000 work
men have been engaged nearly ten
years. the course of the Sele river has
been diverted. \ collecting basin has
been built at its source, 1870 feet

waters are conveyed by tunnel for
seven and onc-half miles, penetrating

While the most important parts of the
