MODERN BEEKEEPING.

Get modern equipment for beekeep-
ing, advises DR.. J. II. Merrill, assist
ant professor Of entomology in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
The old box hive is too inconvenient
and does not afford any means for the
beekeeper to examine his colonies and
know what they are doing, according
to DR.. Merrill. On the other hand,
with modern equipment the average
farmer can control swarming, take out
the honey at any time without serious
ly disturbing the bees and readily ex-
anime them whenever he chooses.
Moreover, when net profits are taken
into consideration modern equipment
costs less than the old box hive.
The beekeeper does not want the
bees to swarm, says DR.. Merrill, be-
cause good strong colony in one hive
will make more honey than the same
| colony divided between two hives. The
average man, however, cannot destroy
the queen cells which furnish the cause
Of the swarming nor prevent Matching
In the old hive.
In the modern hive inexpensive wax
foundations of the desired size may
be purchased. and the bees will build
cells Of the same size as the founda.
tons. There are three kinds Of cells
the largest being the queen cell, the
smallest the worker cell and the mid.
die the drone cell. By providing the
small foundations for worker cells only
worker cells will be built and only
workers Will be Matched.

sessed from 81 to $1.50 a cow. This
money is used to hire one man to do
the testing and to defray the running
expenses Of the association. Each herd
is visited once month by this man,
who makes the fat tests and has
charge of keeping the milk and feed
records. From the monthly records
the yearly records are calculated.
From the amount of feed consumed
the value thereof and the amount of
milk and butter fat produced one can
pick his profitable cows.
The man who does the testing is al
ways one who has had considerable
experience. in the dairy business, and
much valuable information and advice
can be obtained by the farmers from
him.
The principal advantage of the cow
testing association is the obtaining of
an exact record of each cow in the
herd A conservative estimate is that
about one-third Of the cows in Kansas
do not pay for the feed they eat. Cows
of this sort are worse than boarders,
for they eat up the profits made by the
good cows. There is a great oppor-
tunity to increase the net profits of
the average herd by spotting the poor
cows and discarding them.
Moreover, knowing the record Of pro-
duction Of the cows in herd enables
one to feed them more intelligently. 1t
is a common practice to feed all the
cows in herd alike. Under these con-
ditions the poor cow would be fed too
much and the good cow too little. The
proper way TO feed each COW is in pro-
portion to the amount of milk she pro-
duces When this plan is adopted it
usually results in a greater production
Of milk on less feed.
A testing association often leads to
community breeding, which means that
a part or all of the members decide to
handle one breed Of cattle. They may
cooperate in buying or selling breed
ing stock or may trade herd sires and
thereby reduce expenses.

Meeting on Dairy Farming
Friday Eysning.
ST. LOUIS MAN WAS PRESENT
Ross Martin Saws That Now There
Are About 5000 Milk Cows in
Audrain County.

WIN the Audrain farmers pledge
themselves to furnish at least $1,000
pounds Of milk each day to a con-
~densery?
If they will-one Of the most stable
and best known condenseries viii To-
cate in Mexico. 1t was decided at the
Commercial Club Friday night that
on March the third a meeting would
be called in the afternoon and even
ing to discuss the proposition with the
farmers. Then two representatives
Of the firm will state their plans. L.
H. P~elatson. of st. Louis, represented
the firm.
Mexico merchants who attended the
dairy meeting were encouraged by the
vast possibilities Of condensery for
Mexico. with the highest prevailing
prices given for miik-about S1.50 per
pound the year around the farmers
should see the great things ahead in
this ~undeveloped dairy county," said
one of the speakers. Give things
are necessary for a suitable location
for a ~eondensory: Milk supply, water
supply, transportation facilities, good
sewage and a desirable basis Of buy
ing the milk. Mexico answers the
three Of these requirements; water
supply, transportation, and good sew
age.
"The price which the condensery
pays the patrons Is not governed by
any Board Of Trade. They do not
even necessarily follow the quotations
Of the butter and cheese markets.
Most condenserics pay for the milk,
on The 100 lbs, basis. Many Of the
factories today, are buying milk on
the butter-fat basis which is based by
the Elgin Market. Buying milk in
this manner pays the farmer more,
than offering the milk at so much per
100 lbs II 10 recommended by auth
GRITTY that it is better for all con
cerned. fair and up-to-date to use the
butter-fat basis
According to an estimate made BY
Ross Martin, the new manager and
owner Of the Rock Springs Dairy,
there are about 6,OOO cows in Audrain
that can earn close to s21.OO per head
each year. At the supply Of whole
milk today for a supply Of $4,000
pounds per day, the farmers would re-
ceive $4,000 for their milk. If they
double this, it would mean S172,0
W.. w. Pollock, of the North Mis-
souri, Trust Co., said he knew that
the banks would be glad to loan
money to the farmers with which to
buy milk lows when the banks knew
that the farmer had a daily market
for their product. This condensery if
built would not only be able to handle
the $4,000 lbs, daily, but could take
care Of all the supply obtainable.
