Operations which may have an
important bearing on the Balkan
situation are now taking place in
Albania. The situation there is
somewhat clouded, but it appears
that the Austrians and Bulgarians
jointly are making the most of

opportunity to overrun the coun-

Newsboy Makes Discovery.

While they were breaking down the
door a newsboy in the street outside
saw a pasteboard box fall at his feet.
He kicked it, and ten-dollar and TWEEN
ty-dollar bills fell out. The boy called
policeman nearby. and they replaced
the money in the box. Then the squad
of detectives appeared with their pris-
oners and took charge of the box.
At detective headquarters the money
was counted and spread out on the
captains desk. 1t totaled $500, and
many of the bills were identified by
the cashier of the bank. The prisoners
were taken to the Office of the states

Attacked New Haven Merger.
Mr.. Brandeis learned of the propossd
merger of the New York, New Haven

New England and he hired halls and
stirred up the people. He obtained
legislation which prevented merging
of the two properties and requiring
that the two systems be operated indie

MAIN CAUSE OF BEE LOSSES
Weakening Of colo9les During Winter
Season Due to Lack Of Protection
From Severe Weather.

Uncle Sans bee sharps, as a re-
suit of experiments. are now contend
ing that there need not be the COM
mon losses and weakening Of bee col
onies during the winter season. Lack
of sufficient insulation to protect the
bees from prolonged cold and sudden
changes of temperature is the main
cause of bee losses.
Many experiments conducted by the
experts show that sufficient insulation
of the hives is hardly ever supplied,
and that too much protection of this
kind is almost impossible, providing
ventilation is furnished so that the
bees will always be insured fresh air.
The kind of insulating material Is
unimportant-chaff. shavings, dry
leaves, paper, broken cork, and saw
dust each answer the purpose well,
The insulation layer should be made
| from six to twelve inches thick, &C
cording to the severity of the climate
One insulation plan that has worked
well in the latitude Of the middle
states is the following: Three inches
OF chaff, dry leaves, or the like was
placed beneath the hives, eight inches
on the sides and ends, and twelve
inches on top. An opening eight inches
wide and three-eighths inches higf
was constructed like tunnel through
the packing to the entrance. Thi'
was found to furnish abundant anC
proper ventilation.
Protection from the chilling effect
of strong, cold wind was found to b.
an important safeguard even when tn
hives were well insulated.
Proper protection by means of ger
erous insulation Of the hives ha
shown that the winter losses of bee
need not exceed one per cent wheI
the bees are free from any contagiou
disease.

fore suggested, good Judgment and
constant watchfulness on the part OF
the grower. Bottom heat is not abso-
lutely essential to success, but the
crop natures more quickly If given
this condition.
The plants are treated in every way
ms for outdoor culture till handled
the last time. For fruiting some pre-
fer benches, with about six inches of
soil: but, in the writer's experience,
the best results have been obtained
from the use of boxes IS inches square
and 70 inches deep. In the bottom
of the boxes is placed layer Of char
coal, broken pots, or "clinkers" from
the furnace, after which soil. consist
ing of three parts good garden loan
and one part well-rotted stable ma
nure. is filed in to within two or three
inches Of the top. Each box will hold
four plants, and the check caused by
the partial confinement OF the roots
seems to be of value in Fastening ma
turity. II the solid bed is used in
stead OF the boxes. the plants are set
about sixteen inches apart each way,
thus occupying q little more than one
and one-half square feet of floor space
for each plant.
Best returns usually follow where
the plants are trained to a single
stem. Flax cords, about the size OF
wool Irvine, are fastened to the cor.
ners Of the boxes or to wires placed
parallel to each row, for that purpose,
and attached above to wires running
lengthwise of the building, on the
rafters or sashbars.

be supported by means Of small cord

FEEDING SILAGE TO HORSES
Danger Of Forage Poisoning 10
Thought to Come From Portions
Not Sufficiently Molstened.

CBy w. r. DoDsON. Louisiana Expert
ment Staton)
There is a little danger OF forage
poisoning In feeding silage to mules
and horses, and because of the occa-
sional bad results 1t is not generally
deemed advisable to feed silage to
these animals.
II the feeding is carefully looked al
ter, however. and no moldy silage Is
fed, then II would be safe. The danger
is thought to come from portions OF
the silage that are not sufficiently wet
and mold in the curing. and 1t has the
same tect as moldy hay. The same
moldy silage, however, does not seem
to have any detrimental effect on cat
tie. On the other hand, II plenty OF
water is put In with the silage when
the silo lie being filled there should be
no mold in any portion Of 1t, unless
there should be a leakage OF air at
some point OF the silo, and then the
silage will mold in the vicinity OF the
leak.

TOMATOES IN WINTER
Crop Is Of Especial Importance in
Many Eastern States.
Eternal Vigilance and Exercise OF
Good Judgment on Part Of Grower
Are ssential-Product Meets
Ready Demand.

Next to the potato, the tomato
stands, perhaps, at the head of the list
OF garden vegetables in commercial
importance. In Maryland, New Jer-
sey, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana, and to
a rapidly increasing extent in West
Virginia, the crop is Of special inn
portance, while the greenhouses or
New York and New England and the
newly.developed truck fields of Flor
ida endeavor to supply the demand for
this fruit in winter.
BY far the larger portion OF the
area devoted to this crop is employed
in supplying fruit for the canning fac
tories, and it is the demand of the can
neries which more than any other has
given the great impetus to tomato cul-
ture.
Successful tomato culture under
glass depends as much upon the man
In charge as upon conditions. Eternal
vigilance and the exercise Of good
Judgment on the part of the grower
are more essential than strict adher
ence to set rules. The crop is one
which demands constant care and In
telligent management, but under suit
able conditions the returns are very
satisfactory, and the product meets
ready demand at good prices.
The most important conditions FOL
forcing tomatoes are: A warm, ligh
house-one having two-thirds spar
facing the south being preferable
strong bottom heat, rich soil, careful
training, uniform temperature, care II
watering and pollinating, and, as be
