DISEASED COLONIES
DIE DURING WINTER
Bees Affected With Foul Brood In
Fall Should Be Destroyed
or Transferred.

(By WESLEY FOSTER, Colorado Elk
pertinent Station.)
Many beekeepers endeayor to carry
diseased colonies through the winter
because 1t is so much easier to treat
them In the spring than In the fall.
In very large number OF cases the
diseased colonies die during the win
ter and the honey is robbed by other
colonies. thus spreading the disease
throughout quite an extended area.
The general idea is that, inasmuch
. as little breeding is done In the win
ter. there is small likelihood Of the
disease spreading In the hive. This
il quite true. However. the following
factor IL the most important one:
The diseased brood is so offensive In
odor that but q very small amount is
highly disagreeable to the bees. This
initiates against the natural tendency
Of the bees to cluster during severe
winter weather. A colony lacking
compact clustering during winter soon
succumbs. Very few colonies affect
ed with foul brood get through the
winter for this reason.
II d colony is found affected with
disease In the fall, either destroy it
entirely or transfer the bees to q clean
hive and furnish them with sealed
combs Of honey, after they have been
deprived of any food for 4S hours. Su-
gar sirup cannot be successfully fed
In the winter.

ALFALFA AN ACCIDENT
How Crop Was Established on
Hooking County (0hio) Farm.
Farmer Purchased Seed for Mammoth
Glover, Which IL sown in Wheat
Novel Implement for Work
Ing Between Rows of Corn.
(By w. A. LLoYD)


On certain farm In hooking coun-
ty, Ohio, alfalfa was introduced by
accident about twenty years ago.
Seed was purchased for mammoth
clover, which was sown on wheat in
April. About one-half of the seed
proved to be alfalfa, which came up
nicely in the wheat and was thought
at the time to be sweet clover The
plants came on well after the wheat
was harvested, and upon investigation
were found to be alfalfa. This led to
the establishment of the five to six
year rotation; corn, wheat, followed
by alfalfa for three or four years. Dur
ing all of these years this method
of seeding has been uniformly sue
cessful.
Last year a small field was seeded
to alfalfa in standing corn with good
results, and this year about 20 acres
have been seeded In the same way.
The seed is aown after the last cultiva-
ton, and covered with small plank
drag. This is rather novel, home
made implement, "a inches wide and
% inches long, that works between the
rows of corn. This dragging covers
the alfalfa nicely and leaves the
ground in fine, level condition.
Should this method prove uniformly
successful it will take the place of
the present practice of seeding in the
wheat. Both of the above methods
are being successfully followed by
alfalfa growers in Ohio.
The method of harvesting the alfalfa
is also somewhat different from that

SALT is ESSENTIAL

Important Item Often Overlooked

(By 2. ". ELLINGTON, Idaho Expert

An important item that Is often over.
looked in the management of the dairy
herd Is the necessity of providing salt

that consume large quantities Of veg.

tally and finally suffered complete
breakdown. He recommended that
they should be fed three-fourths of an
ounce per day with an additional six
tenths of an ounce for each 20 pounds
Of milk produced.
While salt may be provided in the
daily ration by mixing it with the
grain, an equally satisfactory method
In practice is to keep 1t in a conven-
lent place, where the animals may
have ready access to it when they 80
desire. It may be used in the form
OF rock salt Or placed in boxes in the
feed lot. However. 1t should be borne
In mind that salt is very essential to
the economical handling and health of
dairy cattle.

SUNLIGHT IS MOST

(By W. A. HENRY, wisconsin Expert
nhent Station.)
Sunlight is q most effective germi-
eide. To present the contraction or
spread Of disease it is therefore i'm
portant that the stables Of farm ami
male be well lighted. with the possible
exception of fattening animals feeding
for short periods Of time.
For the maintenance Of health. ex-
ercise Is another essential. The only
exceptions to this rule are fattening
animals soon to be marketed which
make more rapid gains If not allowed
to move about too freely Abundant
exercise is OF special importance with
breeding animals.
Farm animals are creatures Of
habit, and once accustomed to a rou-
tine Of living show unrest at any
change. The feed stable or lot, there
fore. should be free from disturbance.
and the providing of feed and water
should be uniform in time and man
ner. Animals soon learn when these
are to occur and as feeding time ap-
proaches the secretions begin pouring
from the various digestive glands in
anticipation Of the coming meal. The
system OF feeding and watering and
the character Of the rations should be
changed gradually, and only for good
cause. In feeding operation chang
ing period is usually losing period.

Several Diseases Frequently Mistaken

Just as soon as it is noticed that

Diseases which are most frequently
mistaken for hog cholera are intes-
final worms, various digestive dis
turbances, lung worms, Inflammation

last named disease is caused by the

sore mouth and bull-nose of pigs.
Most of the confusion of the two dis

some cases pigs affected with NEGRO

Some months ago the writer had
occasion to purchase two second
hand" mules to do some farm work.
These mules were bought at public
auction, and were secured at prices
that might be termed cheap.
They were shipped to the country
and put to work at once, but unfor-
tunately, although they performed
their work faithfully, it was noticed
that they fell of in flesh.
Upon careful examination of their
teeth it was discovered that their
grinders were worn and uneven. and
that consequently they could not thor
oughly masticate their grain or for
age.
Therefore it was a case Of either
selling them at loss or having their
teeth repaired.
My mules were shipped to veter-
mary surgeon, and after a thorough
examination of their mouths, he ex-
pressed the opinion that they could be
helped.
It was discovered that one Of the
mules had q boil ulcer in its mouth.
caused by the loss Of an upper grinder.
The lower grinders having become
elongated, had cut into the upper jaw,
causing liberation and much pain
when the animal attempted to eat
either grain or forage.
These long teeth were sawed on.
but in the attempt the mule became
FESTIVE and in spite Of the efforts Of
two strong men, pulled back, and the
tooth was extracted Her other teeth
were fled down and put in as good
order as possible. This mule was
shipped back to the farm and in a
few days began to improve in flesh.
A healing lotion was used in her
mouth for several days. The ulcer
disappeared, and after that she had
no trouble whatever in masticating
either hay or grain, and performed
her work so well that she was finally
sold at a profit-a few weeks after
being cured.
When she was bought at auction
she was q living skeleton and the
other one, while fat when brought in
town, had evidently been fed on soft
food, for he could neither masticate
hay or grain in sufficient amount to
keep him So In fact. he practically
refused to eat corn either on the cob
or shelled and had to be fed on meal
