Bees Should Be Provided With
New Hives Before SWarming

Perhaps nothing is more aggravat-
ing in bee culture than to have bees,
Ill of a sudden, abscOnd for parts un-
known. Perhaps no part of animated
creation exhibit q greater love for
home than does the hOney-bee, and it
is difficult to understand how they can
ever be willing to abandoned it a. all
and with such sudden impulse and
common consent It is possible that
tie bees, as they go forth foragng,
keep an eye out for desirable places
Tor starting new homes, and it may be
that they have hollow trees picked out
for some time before they decide 90
leave. The new io32tion may be much
more desirable than the old one: they
may figure out the advantage OF having
Gully few rods instead of over a mile
to carry their honey after having
gather ed it little by little from the
blossoms
How ever, the causes of swarmin9
are many and various, and nothing is
more certain than the fact that if one
is going to have a profitable apiary
he should not think of waiting until
tile bees swarm before he lays it out,
but decide where every hive shall be
before it is peopled with bees, if he
v ouId keep his bees from deserving.
Preventative of Swarming.
Perhaps bees oftener desert their
hives because they are short Of stores
than from any other cause, and many
times in the spring they seem to de-
sert because they are nearly out. They
issue from the hive and light in tree,
very much like a normal swarm dur
ing the swarming season. The remedy
or, rather, preventative, is plain. AT
ter they have swarmed out and are
nut back into the hive they should be
given a heavy comb of sealed stores
or be fed a little at time until they
have plenty, and care should be taken
that there is brood in the combs. Ii
necessary, they should be given comb
Of unsealed larvae from some other
hive, and then they should be fed UNI
til they have a great abundance OF
food
There is a very certain remedy for
all cases of first swarming, in having
the wings of the queen clipped so she
can not fly; this plan is in very gen.
eral use, and answers excellently for
all first swarms but the after swarms
are the very ones that are most apt
\ to abscond, and we can not clip the
wings of their queens, because they
have not yet taken their wedding
flight. There is probably no better
way than to watch carefully when
they are to be expected and then
chase them until they are safely gotten
into a hive.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1916-03-15

If one thinks this too much trouble,
he should prevent after swarming,
which may be defined by saying that
all swarms that come out, or are led
out by a virgin queen, are termed al
ter-swarms; and all swarms that come
out within eight or fifteen days after
the first swarm, are accompanied by
such queens. There may be from one
all the way up to a half dozen or even
more, depending on the yield OF honey,
amount of brood or larvae and the
weather; but whatever the number,
they are all led off by queens reared
from one lot of queen-cells, and the
number of bees accompanying them
is of necessity, less each time. The
last one frequently contains no more
than a pint Of bees, and, if hived in the
old way, would be of little use; yet
when supplied with combs already
built and filled with honey, they may
be made the very best of colonies, for
they have young and vigorous queens,
aud often are equal of any in the APP
larry, the next season.
Bees often swarm out in spring,
where no other cause can be assigned
than that they are weak and discour-
aged, and in such cases they usually
try to make their way to other colon
les. While it may not always be pos
sible to assign a reason for such be-
havior with medium or fair colonies,
it is certain that good, strong colonies,
with ample supplies of sealed stores,
seldom, if ever, go into such foolish
ness.
By way of summing up, if you would
not lose your bees by natural swarm
ing, clip the wings of all queens as
soon as they commence laying; then
look to them often, and know what is
going on in the apiary every day dur
ing the swarming season; if you would
not have runaway swarms in spring,
and while queens are being fortified
confine your work to the simple meth
DDS above outlined.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

SEED CORN SHORTAGE
A SERIOUS PROBLEM
Northern States Chief Sufferers
From This Cause.
Attempt to Grow Varieties Requiring
Long Season Must be
Abandoned.

The frequent shortages of seed corn
in the Northern states are becoming
more serious as the Importance OF the
crop in this area increases. In 1908
the acreage of corn in the northern
tier states-New England, New York,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Min
nesota, the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho,
and Washington-was 6,716, 152 acres.
Last year it was II ,121 900. If the in
dustry is to continue to grow, say
specialists in the department OF agri-
culture, more attention must be paid
to the seed supply, and the attempt
to grow varieties which require long
season in which to mature must be
abandoned.
Must Aid Nature.
Varieties must be found or bred
which will make rapid growth and
mature in the short period between the
last killing spring frost and the first
xii ing frost in the fall. When man
aids nature by selecting and preserv-
ing seed only from individuals which
show promise, in several years the
habits and characteristics can be
changed considerably, and perhaps
variety which at first failed to mature
may be so changed that it becomes
suitable.
Gather Seed From Good Crop.
Even when variety has been thus
adapted to a locality, so that it will
mature under ordinary conditions,
there will some seasons so unfavorable
that it will not mature. If only one
years seed supply is gathered each
year, all the work of adaptation is lost.
The proper way is to gather enough
from a good crop to supply seed for
two or three years hereafter. Good
seed will keep without depreciation
this long.
Go out into the cornfield before the
first killing frost, gather good sup
ply of the best ears to be found on
stalks growing in competition with
others; hang these ears up in some
place where they will be protected,
but at the same time have a good
chance TO dry out quickly; when dry
enough to shell do so, and put the
seed away where it will not be ex-
posed to too great changes in temper
ature and moisture. Any man can
follow the simple directions here given
and plant his fields every year with
good, vigorous growing seed which ne
knows is adapted to his farm.
The matter of seed supply is a case
of avoiding trouble, rather than try
ing to remedy the trouble after it has
arrived If no seed Of the 1914 crop is
available, the farmer is in bad shape.
He must purchase his seed, and in do
ing so he is in grave danger Of OBJ
tanning either poor seed or seed of
late maturing varieties.

FOR A HOME SALOON.

For the married man who can not
get along without drinks, the follow
ing is suggested as a means of free
dom from the bondage to saloons.
Start a saloon in your home. Be the
only customer you'll have no license
to pay Go to your wife and give her
two dollars to buy gallon of whiskey,
and remember there are siXty-nine
drinks in a gallon. Buy your drinks
from no one but your wife, and by
the time the first gallon is gone she
will have eight dollars to put in the
bank and two dollars to start business
again.
Should you live ten years and con-
tinue to buy booze from her, and then
die with snakes in your boots, she will
have enough money to bury you de-
Gently, educate your children, buy a
house and lot, and marry a decent man
and quit thinking about you entirely.

thoroughly mature, is almost certain
to give better results than imported
seed. BY homegrown seed is meant
seed grown on the farm, or in the
same county, where the same general
conditions affected the crop. The
point 10 be considered is that the farm
er in Minnesota, or North Dakota,
should not send for seed grown in
southern South Dakota or Iowa. II
this is done, the crop resulting will
almost certainly be immature next fall
when it is necessary to harvest.

HOGS THAT REFUSED CORN.

One of the strangest sights at the
Kansas City stockyards in recent
months was the arrival of six carloads
of hogs from northern Louisiana, about
500 in all, that did not know what
corn was. Several bushels of corn
were thrown into the pens where they
were yarded and the hogs cracked a
few grain, tried to extract a kernel
and gave it up as a bad job.
All the while aristocratic swine from
the corn belt in adjoining pens were
cracking and eating corn rapidly.
Hearing the noise, the southern hogs
tried to discover the source of their
food supply by looking through the
cracks in the fence.
Statesmen and yardmen looking over
the fence threw grains of corn into
the ala and let them fall among the
hogs. They followed the sound to
where the corn fell but refused to &C
cept it as food The hogs were of the
razorback type, with heads as long
as the rest of the body Some had
long tusk-like teeth that had been
worn into grooves by cracking nuts.
These hogs were shipped from
Northern Louisiana to Kansas City.
The small amount of fat they carried
was gained by eating nuts, roots and
leaves or mast. They ranged in W.T..
from 80 to I'll pounds.
The prices bid for them were Sc to
$3.50. This class of hogs is said to
m aIa an excellent kind of lean bacon.

GROUND FELDSPAR
VS.. POTASH SALTS
Former Not Recommended AS
Substitute Fertilizer.
iYe-MaSt Provide Market
For ByprOduct.

Washington, ID. c., March 13.-Wide
publicity has recently been given to
statement advocating the use of
ground feldspar as a substitute for po-
fash salts and referring to the United
States Department OF Agriculture Bull
letin No. 104 as authority for the pro
posed practice.
Bulletin No. 1O4, entitled ''The Use
OF Feldspathic Rocks as Fertilizer .
was published in 1907. This bulletin
discussed the use of finely ground field
spar as a possible substitute for po-
fash for fertilizer purposes, and was
based upon a series Of experiments
conducted by the department. The re-
suits reached were inconclusive, as
the following quotation from the bull
letin itself will show:
a careful reading of the fore
going pages will show that no
claim has been made that ground
feIdspar is an efficient substitute
under all circumstances for po-
fash salts. : : The question is
still open, and systematic and long
continued experimentation is the
only possible method of obtaining
conclusive information on the sub
iect At the present stage
Of the investigation it would be ex-
tremeIy unwise for anyone to at
tempt to use ground rock except
on an experimental scale that
would not entail great financial
loss. 1t is extremely un-
likely that ground rock will ever
entirely displace the use of po-
lash salts, for its availability must
inevitably depend upon many mod
flying conditions, such as the
nature Of the soil, the amount of
moisture present, the character of
the other fertilizers used, and the
varying root action of different
crops"

corn did mature sufficiently to provide
seed for 1916. It is possible that the
department may be able to assist farm
ers in obtaining seed from these
sources. In this connection an appeal
is made for every grower of northern
seed corn having good seed to sell, to
furnish the Office of Corn Investiga-
lions of the Department of Agricul-
turc with his name, address, name of
variety, price, and amount of seed for
sale. A generous response will aid
the department in relieving the pres
ent critical situation.

OF No General Value.

Investigations made since the pub
iicatiOn of this bulletin have failed to
show that ground feldspar is of any
general value for fertilizer purposes.
The potash content in feldspathic
rocks is in a highly soluble form and
to be made available for fertilizer
purposes must undergo chemical treat
ment at high temperatures. In gen
eral. it may be said that most soils
contain a considerable amount of pO
fash in this insolubIe form derived
from the disintegration of silicate
rocks. of which feldspar is one. The
application Of ground feldspar, there
fore. i'm most instances means merely
the addition of an ingredient already
present in the soil in considerable
quantity. Many processes for render
ing the potash in feldspar available
have been proposed, but to be CONNER
cialIy successful under normal con-
ditiOns a market must be found for the
byproduct. and up to the present time
no satisfactory solution Of this prob
lem has been reached.
FeIdSpar May Increase Yield.
There are numerous substances the
application of which to soils will, un-
der certain circumstances and with
particular soils, bring about increased
crop yields. Ground feldspar may be
included in this class. However, the
cases where increased yields result
from the application of these sub
stances are so rare and the conditions
under which increased yields may be
expected are so little understood that
their use as fertilizer materials in
general cannot be recommended.

QUICK SOLUTION OF
 MEXICAN PROBLEM
0bregon Given Plenary Power in
 Dealing With Situation

Fl Paso, Tex, April 29.-Two facts entering into the conference which is to begin today between Gen. Alvaro Obregon, representing Mexico, and Generals Hugh L. Scott and Freder- ick Funston, representing the United States, encouraged the belief that the negotiations might not be dragged out for any great length of time.
 One was that Gen. Obregon came to the border with full power to act in behalf of his government in any ar- rangement that may be made for the disposition of Brig. Gen. Pershing's cxpeditionary force.
 The other was that the Mexican min- ister of war had summoned to the con- ference the military governors of the three Mexican states touching Ameri- can territory.
 Will Save Much Time.
 With Gen. Obregon in possession of plenary powers, time will not be con- sumed in telegraphic communications between Juarez and Mexico city. The attendance at the conference of mil
 
 nora, Ignacio En1iquez of Chihuahua and JacintO Trevino of COahuila means that all matters affecting a possible patrol of northern Mexico by American troops can be quickly and definitely threshed out. On these men will rest the burden of cooperation with the American military authori- ties if the apparent intention of the United States to insist upon occupa- ton of a buffer one south of the in tcrnational boundary is carried out.
 Because of the propected social ty planned to make the American off, cials at 10 o'clock this morning, it is not expected that the first session of the conference will be reached until this afternoon.
 Elaborate Reception Given.
 It had at first been thought that the call would consume but a short tim and that immediately after negotia- tions could be begun. However, after last nights journey by the Americans to JuareZ, where they went to pay their respects to General Obregon and his associates and found that in their honor the streets had been lined with soldiers standing at attention, it was decided to make the reception of the MeXiCanS more elaborate.
 Consequently guards of American troopers were stationed along the streets to be traversed by the visitors
