BEES SOMETIMES GET LOST
Honey Gatherers Should Not Be Civ.
en- Freedom Until There Is Plenty
of Pollen Available.
(By L. v. FRANCE, Minnesota Expert

(By L. v. FRANCE, Minnesota Expert
ment Station)
Bees sometimes get lost. They do
so On being turned out in the spring
If they have to 60 far in search of
pollen. Therefore, bees should not be
given their freedom until there is
plenty Of pollen available on willows
and soft naples close by.
If there is no pollen available out
side of the hives In April, or the
weather is too bad for the bees to go
out, the keeper should provide combs
Of pollen.
Among other things suggested by
Mr.. France for bees just given their
freedom are these:
Clean water in warm nook in the
bee yard.
Food enough to last until May 20 In
the form Of sugar, strip or combs Of
honey saved from the previous year.
Protection against cold weather I'M
til May Is or 20 by wrapping each
hive with thicknesses Of heavy wrap
ping or building paper.
Prevention of robbing by reducing
size Of entrances.

GROUND LIMESTONE IS BEST
Deserving Of Consideration by Farm
ers Contemplating Lining Soil
Use In Any Quantity.

Ground limestone deserves the
earnest consideration of those who
contemplate lining the soil. A natu-
.ral product, it can be used In any
quantity without danger Of injury to
the soil. Experiments have shown
that two tons of limestone are as eff
cient as one ton of quicklime, provid-
ed the former is finely ground. Lime
stone is considered finely ground when
50 per cent Of 1t will pass through
sieve having 100 meshes to the inch.
When two tons Of limestone can be
purchased and spread on the soil at
an equal or less cost than one ton Of
quicklime or 1850 pounds Of hydrated
lime, the limestone should be used.
Limestone siftings sometimes can be
secured. Although rather coarse,
there is enough fine material present
to justify their use, provided they can
be purchased at a price which will
make 1t practical to use four or five
tons per acre.

A Drainage Method.

through which surface water cannot
pass. Some kind of drainage is nee
essary where water from surface
springs is flowing over it. The remedy
in such cases is rather modern one.
Use explosives to break through and
open up the hard layer, whether this
be stone or impervious clay of hard
pan nature. Ripping up the soil to
depth of few feet, depending upon
the depth of the layer, will work
cure for this condition.

TO STORE PERISHABLE FOODS
Every Farmer Should Have Cellar.
Storehouse or Refrigerator to
Save Surplus Crops.

Farmers lose much every year be-
cause their facilities for storing per-
ishable foods are poor.
Every farm home should have cell
lar, storehouse and refrigerator SO the
surplus foods may be saved till such a
time as they may be consumed.
The fact that producers have made
quate facilities for saving perishable
products gives Spectators advantages.

TREATMENT OF GARDEN SEED
Distinction by Use of Solution Of
Corrosive Sublinate and Water
Is Recommended.

Celery seed may be disinfected By
the use of solution of one part cor
rosive sublimate in 1000 parts of water.
The seed should be soaked one-half
hour and otherwise treated the same
as the cabbage. @
One point to be remembered Is that
the treatment of seed does not elimi-
nate the disease from infected soil.
manure or from machinery which has
been used in tillage.

WHERE DRAINAGE IS NEEDED
Use Explosives to Break Through and
Open Up Hard Layer-Remedy
ls Rather Modern One.

Whether 1t be hard limestone layer
or layer of hardpan, soils that have
an impervious stratum closely under
lying them are hard to drain by any
Of the old-time methods. Suppose
there is top soil, underlain by fair
~ open limestone shale, and this in
turn underlain by hard limestone

a good story. Approaching the inter-
ested spectator between the acts, he
apologized for his intrusion and said ::

you about it. You know the scene in
