White Clover Honey to be Plentiful

Last year conditions were favor
able for white clover and the result
has been an exceptional growth ~
the plant and a good promise for
white clover honey this season. White
clover is the chief dependence for
honey in some parts of the state, and
those having bees should see to it at
once that they are in a condition to
take advantage of the "honey flow"
which will soon be here.
! Colonies should be examined to see
if the queen is a good one; it not, a
new one should be introduced. A
little feeding with equal bulks of
graduated sugar and water will help
in the case of weak colonies, since
but little forage has been collected
thus far.
The frames and supers to be used
should be got in readiness, so there
will be no delay when the flow is on.
Look after these things now, or have
tHdI young man VI "Oihoh mchiuSi VI
your family who has been to the
State University, attend to it. These
are the youngsters who will do the
successful beekeeping in the future.
Give them the advantage of your own
experience, as well as that they secure
in school.
One other suggestion: You are in
terested in sweet clover. No matter
how l have learned this, want to
urge that you sow some of it in odd
corners of your place where other
things will not grow. By so doing.
you will make your beekeeping more
profitable and increase the fertility
of your farm.

Stanley and Cohen as Gardeners.

StdIItN anu NOiltH az ohiuiVir'
Governor Stanley of Kentucky, is
enjoying at the Mansion phases of
domestic life that the long sessions
of Congress had denied him in
recent years. He is making garden.
The sun itself scarcely beats him to
the onions, tomatoes, potatoes and
lettuce in the morning. and he spends
the evenings in anticipation and the
mornings in contemplation of their
growth. Also he takes a personal
hand in their encouragement. His
indignation at a presumptuous pota-
to bug, which circumstancial evidence
pointed to having been on the ground
waiting for the plants to come
through, proved fatal to the bug and
led to a prompt investigation for &C
cessories.
The Executive garden covers more
than half an acre and includes every
thing, even to parsley TO garnish the
entree; but there is no mint bed.
Commissioner Mat S. Cohen of the
Department of Agriculture of Ken
lucky, also is making garden and he
admitted his reputation as a Com
missioner of Agriculture was staked
upon the outcome.-Exchange.

Clean the Hen-HOuSe.

The hen-house should be kept clean
and the chickens provided with dry,
clean places to roost. A good dust
powder may be made from one pint
of Creso dip No. and three pints of
gasoline mixed with enough plaster
of Paris or cement to absorb it. This
powder should be busted into the
feathers around the base of the tail
and under the wings. This hould he
repeated in about a week in order to
kill the young lice that may develop
from the eggs or nits. Most of the
prepared lice powder will answer this
purpose.

Making Sheep Work Overtime.

Press dispatches from the Pacific
Coast tell of the illumination of sheep
pens by electricity to encourage the
animals to eat frequently and so fat

sheep pens are wired and the light is
turned on at four o'clock in the after
noon in winter and burns until nine
o'clock The sheep feed all the time
the light is on. II is turned ON at
four in the morning, and the sheep
again begin to feed. II is reported
that the frequent feeding brings them
to the marketing stage quickly. On
the big ranches electricity is being
used for all purposes-power for
pumping in the irrigation districts
and for chopping grain in the winter.

farm DEPARTMENT

The farmers of McCracken county
decided that they wanted good cattle,
and they asked Prof. w. d. Nichols,
of the Kentucky Experiment Station,
to be their purchasing agent.
The first idea was to buy mature
cows, but he advised against that
plan and urged them to buy two year
old heifers. Cows cost more by about
$25 a head than heifers; are harder
to ship; and there is much more
dificulty in securing good individuals
because dairymen want to keep the
good ones, and the buyer gets the
inferior cows. Buying heifers gives
a better chance for securing good
individuals.
A cattleman in Kentucky who has
bought many carloads of cattle in
Wisconsin, made the statement that
less than one third of the mature
cows purchased gave satisfaction,
while nearly all the heifers had been
satisfactory.
The counties which Professor Mich
OILS visited in Wisconsin were Jeffer-
son and Waukesha. Jefferson county
has sc creameries and cheese factor
les; 1t sells annually over three mil
lion dollars worth of dairy products
and stock. In dairying this section
almost equals Denmark.
The farms average about 120 acres,
and sells for about 500 to 5000 an
acre. Prosperity is very evident;
money can be borrowed in small sums
at s per cent, and in large sums at 4
per cent. The dairy business is al
most entirely responsible for this
prosperity.
These two counties are the best eX-
amples in the United States of COM
munity breeding. Every farm has
stock for sale, and since farmsteads
are so close together, buyers are able
to visit a large number of them in q
the fact that the stock kept are of ex-
cellent quality and in good numbers,
has resulted in wide advertisement of
this region so that buyers come from
all parts of the country.
Waukesha county is known as the
"Guernsey Capital of America" altho
the country has nearly as many Hol-
stems as Guernseys.
In one day during the first week in
May, three carloads of cattle were
shipped from Jefferson county Mon
tana, three TO Tennessee, two to
Wyoming and one to New Mexico, all
from a single shipping point. Prob
ably other shipments were also made
that same day from other points in
the county.
This concentration of the cattle
breeding industry has had a marked
effect on land values. Since buyers
are so numerous, sales are made
readily and at attractive prices. A
condition similar to that is seen in
large cities where certain streets be-
come known as headquarters for GER
tain commodities, and buyers go there
for that merchandise. This results
IN the enhancement Of real estate
values in the neighborhood of auto
mobile rows, millinery streets or

wholesale house districts.

W0OleSale mousse ulSlTlClS.
The price of cattle in Wisconsin
ranges from 500 to S175 for good
young grade Holstein or Guernsey,
and from SITS to $3.50 for young
pure-bred cows. Two year old spring
ing grade heifers are selling at from
S65 to $50 each while yearling heif-
ers average about $45.
For a neighborhood desiring to go
into dairying, by far the best plan is
to purchase yearlings and two year
old grade heifers and a pure bred
sire, and then produce the stock for
future herds on the farm. 1t is much
better to follow this slower plan than
to buy mature cows. 1t is also very
much less expensive.
At the present price of dairy cows,
, their production on Kentucky farms
should be very profitable. The ques-
ton frequently arises which breed
should be selected. In general, this
may be answered by saying that the
Jersey and Guernsey cattle will pro-
duce butter fat most profitably, while
the Holstein is a more economical
producer of whole milk. Holstein
COWS have the advantage of bringing
better prices when discarded from the
dairy and sold for beef, and their
veal calves also bring much better
prices than the Jersey or Guernsey
calves.
At present there is boom on both
Guernsey and Holstein cattle, while
the market is depressed on Jerseys.
1t would seem that now is a good
time to buy well-bred Jerseys of high
producing milk strains. 1t is well
known that the Jersey breed furn-
ishes most excellent cattle, though
now they are somewhat eclipsed by
other breeds. They are almost GER
tain to return to popularity and then
the breeder who has developed the
proper kind of jerseys will reap large
profits.
1t is also we'll to recall that Ken
lucky is famous for excellent Jersey
cattle and that buyers do not have
to leave the state to secure the best
possible individuals. Indeed, many
buyers from cher states come to
Kentucky to buy Jerseys and one
county, Shelby, has gained the name
of the Jersey Island of America"
II will be a most happy condition
when the Kentucky farmers learn the
lesson which has been learned by
Wisconsin farmers. When that time
comes, every section in the state will
have local breeding association, the
members of which will confine them
selves to the breeding of some par
ticular breed of stock.
