BEES MUST Be KEPT WARM
State Inspector Knocks Out Old Idea
That Roney-Gatherers Sleep

East Lansing, Mich.-Men and wom-

coal is going 10 come from are likely
TO forget that their bees also require
warmth. Bees do not hibernate or
sleep all winter as so many people be-
lieve-a statement which can easily
be verified by anyone who will open
a beehive during the cold part OF the
winter. The health and life of the
colony demand that the temperature
be kept up at all times Mt least as high
as 81 degrees Fahrenheit. To main
tain this warmth the bees consume
honey. which Is n source Of heat and
energy. Ordinarily, the colder the
weather, the more feed the bees con-
sumo. and the more active they be-
come inside the cluster.
These facts show the necessity for
conserving the heat of the colony and
protecting II from outside cold. When
colonies are properly protected they
require far less stores for wintering
and more bees live through until
spring than Is the case when the col
ony is not adequately protected. The
consumption of large quantities of
honey during cold weather causes the
intestines to become clogged with in
digestible material and results fire.

dysentery are fatal.
When colonies are weakened by d.
sease and an attempt is made TO win

AS soon as warm day comes the
bees of the vicinity rob out the dead
co1nies. and thus most of the foul
brood is scattered. Anyone having
weak or diseased colonies should by all
means arrange to winter them In n
cellar. Then If they die they will not

neighborhood.
Bees which do not have sufficient

of sugar used. a teaspoon heaping full
Of tartaric acid should be used. The

TOP DRESSING AIDS WHEAT
Manure or Straw Applied Now VIII
Increase Likelihood of Good
Crop Next Spring.
BY C. Il. SUBWAY,
Department OF Farm Crops, Michigan
Agricultural COLLEGE.


Fast Lansing. Mich.-Much less Is
being heard these days Of the necessity
for a maximum wheat crop in 1913.
The 1917 crop has been harvested and
threshed, and the 1918 crop is In the
ground. But despite this silence there
are measures which the live wheat
grower can adopt now to improve his
chances for producing a bumper yield,
and not the least of these is top dress
Ing.
Top dressing winter wheat in early
winter protects the wheat, supplies
food for the crop, insures a better
growth Of clover and timothy when
the latter are seeded In the wheat and
additionally qulckens growth In the
spring.
Owing TO the scarcity of manure in
most sections Of the state, areas that
have been planted TO wheat probably
cannot be top dressed as heavily with
manure as might be desirable. Where
such is true, ligh. dressing Of four
or five loads to the acre. may be dis
tributed. Such an amount, Of course,
will not go very far. so a method used
by many OF Michigan's most progress
sive farmers may be found valuable In
overcoming this lack. Instead of try
ing to scatter this manure over all
parts of the wheat land, they spread II
thickly over only the high places. and
allow the low places to go without.
The low places are protected naturally
from the weather. and are amply en-
riched by the leach from the high
spots.
Where manure cannot be obtained
az all, straw may be substituted as
top dressing and scattered at the rate
of one-half TO one ton per acre, with
the heaviest applications on the most
exposed soil.
Top dressing with manure In the
spring Is also good practice, and
should be profitable ut the present
time, considering the prevailing high
price OF wheat.
Top dressing In the fall or early
winter tends 10 reduce physical dam
age TO the soil by protecting II from
] the pudding effects of heavy rains,
and 20 some extent also prevents evap-
Grafton and drying and cracking Of
the soil surface.
