BEES SOMETIMES GET LOST
Honey oathsrsrs Should Not d olv.
On Freedom Until There 10 Plenty
Of Pollen Available.

(By L v. FRANCE. Minnesota Experi-
mont StatiOn.)
Bees sometimes get lost. They DO
so on being turned out in the spring
II they have to go 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 60
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 a warm nook in the
bee yard.
Food enough to last until May 70 In
the form Of sugar, sirup or combs OF
honey saved from the previous year.
Protection against cold weather un-
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.

Alfalfa requires In the East a deep.
fertile, well-drained, nonacid soil.
Loan soils with open subsoils are best
for alfalfa, but it may be grown on
soils Of almost any texture, from sandy
or gravelly loans to heavy clays. The
proportion of failures, however, Is apt
to he considerable on deep porous
sands or sands underlain by gravel. 1t

In response to query AS to the
hest plan to deaden the sound from
gasoline engine in the cellar. F. w.
Ives Of the Ohio State university
makes the following reply:
To deaden the exhaust Of a gasoline
engine. some sort OF muffier must
be used. The point to be observed is
not to create back pressure which will
materially decrease the power Of the
engine. An effective way to mutfie
the engine In question would be to
exhaust into buried expansion cham
ber which Is connected to the outside.

GOATS ADAPTED TO GRAZING
Economical Producers Under Ordinary
Farm conditions-Thrive on
Thin Pasturaoe.

Angora goats are economical pro-
ducers under anything like ordinary
farm conditions. They are well adapt
ed to grazing and can be maintained
on rather thin pasture. Yet this is
not desirable for best results. The
goats should have ample pasture, grain
and hay as supplements. Mohair has
been bringing good prices recently and
fresh goat meat is highly desirable az

WOMEN IN BRITISH INDUSTRY
Thousands, Working at Hardest Kind
of Labor, Are Helping to Win
the Great War.

The women and girls Of England
and Scotland are helping win the war
by working as laborers in the greatest
of the nations shipbuilding plants.
Elsewhere female workers perform
duties which are made as light as pos
sible for them. They drive motor
ears and serve as clerks. But in the
shipbuilding yards they do work that
heretofore was done by strong men.
In every yard there are hundreds of
them and in one plant 5000 Of them
are employed. They are dressed in
khaki trousers and belted coats which
reach well above the knees, their hair
Is tucked up under little round khaki
caps. But they could never be mis-
taken for men-nearly all Of them in
sist upon wearing high-heeled shoes,
and their tastes run to silk stockings.
These women and girls for the most
part-before they started building
ships-wore cotton hosiery. But now
they earn their own money and, as
they get the same pay for doing the
work men used to do, they can afford
silk. In any shop or any yard they
can be seen CARRIED like this standing
at the front of FORCES, heating rivets,
running electric machines and cranes (;
manufacturing on lathes and punches
blades for turbines and doing various
things to great steel plates which,
eventually, with others, will form the
sides of ships. Their hands get dirty
with the grease, SCOT, iron stain and
other dirts of the shipyards. But their
faces seem always TO be spotlessly
clean.
Here is the kind of work some of
them do. Around gigantic machine
on the banks of the Clyde the CORE
spondent saw seven girls, none over
20, lift a heavy steel plate and while
some held 1t in place one guided a
punch and another swung lever
operating the punching mechanism.
They were working as If their lives /;
depended upon speed and they worked
ike q well-trained team. !

Vague and unfOunded apprehen-

mind as to the extent Of the fnan-

be helpful 10 the country 10 know
that these requirements have been
greatly exaggerated and that In the
judgment Of the secretary Of the
treasury there is no reason what
ever for apprehension on this score
This opinion is based on latest estI-
mates Of our financial needs.
During the past few days the
various departments Of the govern
ment have submitted TO me their
estimates Of expenditures during the
current fiscal year. on the basis Of
these estimates. am confident that

This is not regarded by the

people are fully determined TO sup
port the war and are prepared to
make such sacrifices of Injuries.

Though the estimated extraordinary

about a billion a month, the ordi-
nary expenditures for the four

been only $1,296.O0O,OOO. or at the
rate of $4,000, 600 a month For
instance. the expenditures for the
war department for the four months
period have been so percent less
