than in loans or clays. Deeper seed
ing is also necessary when the ground
is dry than when it is moist. On the
average the best depth is from 1 to
11a inches.
Oats should be sown as early in the
spring as it is possible to make good
seed bed. The exact date of course
varies with the season and with the
locality. This does not mean that the
preparation of the land should be neg
lected in order to SOW early. Better
yields will be produced from seed
sown in good seed bed than from
one sown a few days earlier in ground
too cold and wet for the seed to germ
mate.
In good seed bed the best rate of
seeding in the corn belt is about 21a
bushels to the acre. If the seed is
sown broadcast, more is necessary.
More seed is required in poor seed
bed than in a good one, as fewer seeds
are likely to grow A lower rate of
seeding may be used for small-kernel
varieties than for large-kerneled ones,
for there are many more of the former
in buShel.
In the Great Plains, where the rain
fall is usually scanty, less seed should
be sown, the proper rating of seeding
being to Decks to the acre.

VALUE OF HONEY

Honey, as an article of food, has
a value that is well established and
unquestionable. Apart from it's pleas
ing taste and odor, it has specific
qualities that entitle it to high place
in the list of natural food products.
After it has been collected it does not
need to be subjected to any addition
al treatment to be made fit for use;
it is in reality a natural product. It's
use as such has been known from
earliest times, and it's popularity will
no doubt remain unimpaired while
the need for human food endures.
The quality of honey is greatly af-
fected by the source from which the
bee collects it, for it takes easily the
peculiar flavor of the plant that pro-
duces it. So far as taste is concerned
the Eastwood tree stands easily first,
and buckwheat just as undisputably
last in the order of merit as produc-
ers. Honey has the great recommen-
dation that most of the work is done
by the bees, care being taken to give
them towering plants from which to
collect the honey and convenient plac-
es in which to store it. industrious
as the bees are, they prefer to oper-
ate without having to provide them
selves with receptacles, and one of
the ingenious practices in beekeeping
is to furnish them with boxes or
frames that are easily removable, and
when the full boxes are replaced with
empty ones the bees work on until
they are all filled or the season comes
to an end.
In these times of scarcity of men
for farm work, beekeeping is an oc-
cupation to which women might profit
ably turn their attention. In very
true sense, apart from the value of
the produced honey, the habits and
methods of the bees are interesting
subjects for observation. The labor
of attending to them is not exhausting
or even difficult Care must be taken
to have an abundance of flower bios

CONSERVING BIRD LIFE.

The reports from Trinity House,
London, telling of the success of the
bird rests and perches, erected out
side lighthouses, will be welcome news
to bird lovers the world over. For
many years the number of migratory
birds that were destroyed, at various
lighthouses around the coast, has
bee a matter of great concern. The
Royal Society for the Protection of
Birds undertook, therefore, some time
ago, to erect porches on which birds,
momentarily confused by the brilliant
light, could rest, and the Trinity
house report makes it clear that the
scheme is likely to prove completely
successful in solving the problem.
One lighthouse keeper writes that
there is not the slightest doubt that
the devices are of very great value in
saving the birds, and that it is now
a very rare occurrence to pick up any
birds that have fallen into the sea.

SPRING NECESSARIES
IN CARING FOR BEES
of Colony Must Be
Kept Up to Standard.
Imperative That Bees Have Plenty Of
Room, An Abundance of Stores
And Protection.

The duty of the beekeeper in the
spring is to get plenty of bees in time
for the honey flow. If this is not done
his work is a failure. The population
of the colony is reduced during the
winter, especially where wintering
conditions are not the BEST and this
must be corrected if the colony is to
get the full honey crop. 1t is poor
beekeeping to have weak colonies at
the beginning of the honey flow from
which the surplus crop is obtained.
After brood rearing gets under way,
bees need three things: Room for
heavy brood rearing, an abundance of
stores and protection. A common err
ror is to cramp the colony by failing
to provide empty cells for the recep-
ton of eggs. Each colony should ul-
timately have the equivalent of at
least eight Langstroth frames entire
ly full of brood, so that even a single
1O-frane hive is scarcely large enough
at this season. Some beekeepers prac-
tice giving a second hive body during
this period of heavy breeding. This
is especially necessary for colonies
that have abundant stores.
If in early spring the weather is
suitable and if nectar is available the
bees add considerably to their hoard
of honey, but they use it so rapidly
that it is seldom that any. gain in the
stores occurs even during fruit bloom.
However, since the weather is uncer-
tain at this season, the beekeeper
should not depend too much on incom-
ing nectar to supply the needs of the
bees. If they are short of stores, feed
warm thick syrup made of granulat-
ed sugar and feed lavishly. This will
be stored by the bees in the brood
combs and used as needed. The syrup
may be half water and half sugar, or
thicker if preferred. There is no bet
ter investment in beekeeping than to
give abundant supplies in the spring.
Bees generate considerable heat in
rearing brood rapidly, for the temper
ature of the brood must be maintained
nearly at human blood heat. The bet
ter they are protected from winds and
the more insulation they have. the cas-
Ter it is for them to keep the proper
temperature and the faster they build
up.
! On some warm day the hives should
be opened and given spring house
cleaning. At this time one wing of

SUPPLYING TESTED SEED CORN.

One of the projects of Minnesota
county farm bureau is to assist in fur
nishing a supply of tested seed corn.
The organization, it is reported, has
stored 600 bushels of selected we'll
matured corn of the 1915 crop and 400
bushels of the crop of 1914. One of
the county fair buildings was used as
storage house., stove and electric
fans being installed to hasten the dry
ing process. 1t is proposed to test the
corn carefully in the spring and sell
it to the farmers as actual cost. 1t is
estimated that there will be supply
sufficient to plant about 5000 acres,
or one-third of the ordinary acreage of
corn in the county.

the queen should be clipped so that
when swarming time comes she can
not fly to the woods with the swarm.
If any queenless colonies are discov-
cred (having no BROOD they should
be united with colonies having queens.
This can be done by simply setting
the queenless colony on top.
The stimulation to heavy brood rear
ing should occupy six to eight weeks
previous to the surplus honey flow,
and every beekeeper should know
when that comes in his locality. If
he is a beginner, any beekeeper who
is older in the work can give that in
formation. If a colony has a good
queen and plenty of empty cells for
egg laying, is we'll supplied with
stores, one may expect colony which
is capable of storing the maximum
crop.
Having gone to all this trouble to
get plenty of bees in the hive the bee
keeper will readily see that he should
do everything in his power to prevent
swarming. Swarming just before or
during the honey flow is the greatest
drawback to a good crop. Experience
ed beekeepers have worked out meth
DDS by which this can largely be pre-
vented and every beekeeper should
study these methodist. F. Phillips
