LA TOILETTE, G. o. P.
SENATOR, PRAISES
S-EOUR WORK DAY

Madison, Wis, Sept. 26.-Declar-
ing that the eight-hour law for rail
way trainmen has been much n1isrep-
resented and that it saved the business
men and the farmer from disaster,
Senator Robert N. LaFollette of Wis
consin, the only republican senator to
vote for the law, is out today in a
signed editorial in the September
number of his magazine, defending
the passage OF the law.
He endorses the sentiments, express
ed by President Wilson before the
business men at Shadow Lawn Sat
urday. Senator LaFollettee denies
that the eight-hour law was force
bill, as Charles E. Hughes contends.
He says that the railroad employe
made their demands of the receivers
and not upon congress, and it was only
when a strike became probable that
the president and congress stepped in
and averted the disaster.
The Wisconsin senator charges that
millions of dollars were expended by
the railroads during the pendency of
their negotiations with the trainmen
in an effort to influence sentiment
against the demands of the trainmen
for an eight-hour day.

FALL MANAGEMENT OF BEES
L. Haseman, Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Station

1t is not generally known that the
Missouri bee collects and stores under
favorable conditions nearly a million
dollars worth Of honey each year.
According to the records of the Mis-
souri, Bee-keepers', Association there
are approximately 100000 colonies of
bees in the state owned by 10000 bee
men and beekeepers. There is a dis
tinction btween a beekeeper who cares
for his bees and a beeman who merely
owns bees, and unfortunately the lat
ter are in the majority. Those who
are in the latter class probably have
few prehistoric gums or boxes with
cross sticks nailed inside or possibly
even movable comb hives tilted over
on one side and without shade except
for that furnished by weeds which are
allowed to grow up around them.
Even with all of the neglect which
the bees receive they help materially
to increase or rather save the products
of the state to say nothing of their
immeasurabe value to horticulture
and agriculture in the pollenization of
fruits. In proportion to size there is
no comparison between the value Of
the products of the Missouri bee and
the famed Missouri hen and at the
same time the bee feeds itself. How
ever, the bee is a more delicate crea-
ture than the hen and cannot with
stand the too often inexcusable neg
lect which it receives.
If you are a beeman now is the time
to consider plans for getting your bees
ready for what may be long cold
winter. With the first killing frosts
the bees chance to store further sup
plies is ended and if through neglect
the colony is weak and unprovided
with supplies and suitable home for
the winter, see to it that these neces-
sites are promptly provided. For
wintering they must have plenty of
honey, not to exceed thirty or forty
pounds for strong stand, dry home
or hive, and protection which will pre-
vent sudden changes of temperature.
Make sure of these three points imme-
diately and then plan to become real
beekeeper, if only in small way, next
spring by introducing necessary up
to-date methods and equipment. There
is nothing on the farm which returns
as much value and profits for the
small capital that need be invested as
half a dozen we'll cared for colonies of
honey bees.

COLLAR CALLS

Tannic acid is one of the very best
remedies for collar gals according to
L. S. Backus of the Nissouri College
Of Agriculture. 1t can be secured from
any drug store and is easily applied
by rubbing lightly over the collar
every morning and evening if the
horse is working.
Collar gals usually appear either at
the top of the neck or at the point of
the shoulder where the improperly fit
ted collar rubs. It is important that
the collar be kept clean at all times in
order that it may be kept from cutting
into the neck, but special care in keep
ing it clean is necessary after these
gals start. can ounce of prevention
is worth pound of cure"
