PREPARING THE BEES FOR
WINTER

College Park, Sept. Unsuccessful
, wintering should bring the colonies
| into spring crowded with young Wig.
| orous workers ready for the early
nectar flows; yet with sufficient stores
J remaining in the hives to carry them
If necessary we'll into the season.
These conditions can only be obtain
ed when the colonies are properly
cared for in the fall.
1t will not be necessary for the bee
keeper to even visit his yard until the
next season Is well advanced if the
bees are well supplied with food, room,
and protection this fall 1t is argued
that if food be sufficient and the colony
be headed by young queen and shelf
| cred from the wind extra protection
is not necessary. This is not true.
One does not have to be a careful In.
added protection.
Bees cluster in winter for mutual
warmth. The lower the outside tenn.
perature gets the more food the bees
consume and the greater the muscular
activity within this cluster This
maintains temperature sufficient to
keep the cluster warm. Six months
of cold weather demanding such ex-
ceSslye activity and food consumption
leaves the bees so weak in the spring
and so affected with dysentery from
faecal matter that while they may at
first seem strong they die faster than
brood is reared to replace them. Thus
the colonies become too weakened to
take advantage of our early nectar
flows.
If the bees are protected from the
cold by packing these conditions are
relieved and the colonies will come
into the spring strong and healthy,
provided they were well supplied with
food and bees in the fall.
Colonies may be packed in groups
of four, pair facing east and pair
west, or they may be packed singly.
They should be set on two by four
boards, edge up, on platform raised
slightly from the ground and sur
rounded with tight packing case
large enough to leave a siX-inch space
all around the colonies and on top.
This space may then be filled with
sawdust leaves, chaff, or pine needles.
A boar tunnel may be constructed
from The hive entrances to the case
and four half-inch holes bored through
the latter into the tunnels thus allow
ing air to reach the colonies and pro-
yiding for flights in early spring. 4
tight cover over all completes the
snug nest, which If sheltered from the
winds will bring the colonies into
spring very strong and vigorous.
The packing should be done in
early fall and left until May of the
following season. If the bees are in
double bodies with the upper one fill
ed with honey the results will be still
more satisfactory as the colonies will
have plenty of room in the spring to
rear brood and plenty of food to build
up sufficiently for the early honey
flows.
Few beekeepers at present pack
their bees. They argue very per-
sistently against It; but the majority
Of US are from Missouri and fair
trial will convince the open minded
that winter protection and shelter are
rs essential to honey production as
brood and bees.

The design for the American flag
was adopted by the Continental Con-

on the ocean with the frigate Ali
ance. The frigate Ranger, however,
was the first vessel to carry the nag

Reunion of 1915 Class

Yesterday was an ideal picnic

bathing. rowing. 'snap-shoIting. and
every sport dear to the picnicker's
heart. Had you seen them, you must
have believed they were still merry
seniors at the old high school. Of
course, when supper time came
round, amid much laughter and
merriment. the various dainties soon
disappeared.
The class of 1915, which was the
largest the Cambridge High School
has ever had, was the first in the his
tory of the school to hold reunion
Last year. in planning for the first
one, they hoped to establish d pre-
cedent which succeeding classes
classes would follow. and in this we
believe they have succeeded.
The remarkable way in which the
members have always remained unit
ed is largely due TO the efforts OF Nh

TREATING WHEAT SEED FOR
DISEASES

College Park, Sept. 6.-An inspec
tton OF wheat fields during the month
Of June in several counties Of Mary,
land revealed the fact that consider
able loss was being caused by certain
diseases such as Smut and Scab, which
may in a large measure be controlled
by applying certain preventive meas
ures. These diseases are caused by
small parasitic organisms which enter
the wheat plant, and weaken it, so that
1t Is unable to form its grain in the
usual way. One Of these diseases,
known as Blunt or sinking smut, is
readily controlled by treating the seed
with Formalin, pint to 40 gallons OF
water. The water may be emersed in
the Formalin Solution for ten min
utes, during which time the grain Is
stirred or shaken to drive of all the
air; so that the solution will penetrate
the grooves of the grains, and also
allow the chaffy kernels to rise. These
should be SKINNED off. The wheat Ia
then spread out to dry, after which it
may be sown or stored until sowing
time,
Or the wheat may be spread out on
the floor and sprinkled with the
Formalin solution, after which It Is
Bcooped over and sprinkled again.
This is repeated until all Of the
berries are wet with the solution, after
which the pile of grain is covered over
with burlap bags or canvas, and al
lowed to stand from five to ten hours.
The grain Is then spread out to dry
as directed above.
The Maryland State College Is plan
ming to demonstrate this method of
treatment in every community of the
State this fall where wheat is grown.
Anyone interested in having demon
stration on his farm, should mention
the fact to his County Agent. The
demonstrations will be started about
August 18th, and continued for two
months.
A big difference has been observed
between the crop grown from untreat-
ed and Unframed seed on the one hand,
and recleaned from treated seed on the
other. 1t is, therefore, planned to re-
clean the seed, running it through the
tanning mill two or three times before
treating It by the Formalin method.
The grains removed by the tanning
mill are scabby ones and the smutted
ones, both of which not only yield
very little or not at all, but also infect
the plants from healthy kernels. The
recleaning of the seed and the treat
ing it with Formalin should become q
part of the general farm practice
wherever wheat is grown.
With wheat at $500 per bushel, we
cannot afford to take chances on these
diseases, which may be controlled at
so little cost

sILAGE MIXTURES IMPORTANT.

| College Park, Sept. 6.-The high
cost Of grain together with the neces
| sity of using more of the total produc
ton for human food than ever before
means that large part OF the grain
! mixture ordinarily fed for milk pro
duction must be replaced by long feed
Legume hay such as clover, alfalfa
or soybean when fed with good silage
| will maintain a medium milk produc
ton and greatly reduce the amount OF
grain required for larger productions
The principal crop for the silo is
corn, although sorghum and kafir
| corn are used in sections where corn
cannot be grown on account OF
climatic conditions. Grain crops In
combination with legumes such as
wheat and vetch, oats and crimson
clover, corn and soybeans or cowpeas
have been successfully ensiled.
The legumes alone, do not make a
good quality of silage owing to the
absence of sufficient sugar for proper
fern entation. In Maryland there are
a number of factory by-products which
make good silage Pea vines, corn
husks and sweet corn fodder all make
good silage. However, sweet corn
fodder should be more nearly mature
than field corn before 1t is ready for
the silo.
When the corn is in the glazed
stage, it contains two-thirds more dry
matter than when in the milk stage.
Also, corn in the milk stage will make
a silags more acid than when more
nearly mature. In a normal season
the proper time to cut corn for the
silo is when it shows the first signs
OF ripening.
Silage should be cut from one-half
to one inch in length and the knives
on the cutter should be kept sharp.
In order to keep the silage of uniform
composition some sort of a distributor
will be found most convenient. Two
men in the silo with a distributor can
pack the silage sufficiently. The edge
next to the wall should be kept high
er than the center and tramped con-
stantly. When the filing is completed
the top should be leveled II several
barrels of water are added and the
top tramped each day for two or three
days not more than six or eight inches
of silage will spoil In order to pre-
vent waste the top may be covered
with straw or corn from which the
ears have been removed The top of
the silage may also be covered with
oats, which will sprout and make an
air tight seal.
Silage spoils in two ways II It has
the appearance OF rotted manure, air
has gained access to the silage. Spoil
ing of this kind is frequently found
near the doors. If white mold is found
the indications are that the corn was
too dry and water should have been
added. If layer of spoiled siIage is
found around the edge of the silo it
indicates that the walls of the silo are
not air tight or that the sufficient
tramping was not done when the silo
was filed

It to give the proper lubricating

To begin with, in filling grease cups
the first thing to do Is to wipe on
all dirt that may be present before
removing the cups from the car: this
is TO prevent grit getting into the
grease, which 1t will do otherwise.
For nllinE the cups an old table knife
makes an admirable instrument, and
saves one getting into a mess. 1t is
a good idea to take on the cups

Information that Earl H Ankeny

eral manager for the Henderson Mo-
ter Car Company is interesting.
Ankeny, who was for three years
sales manager Of the King Motor Car
Sales Company, OF Baltimore. is a re-
markable person who never takes the
trouble to look it.
Ankeny it was who engineered and
made successful the King nonstop
run OF two weeks between Baltimore
and this city, and although the idea
vas factory inspired after the lO'soO
mile nonstop run of the King AT
sheepshead Bay, Ankeny, not merely
ky direction and management, but
personal effort as well, put it over.
The writer, who sat through 146
hours Of the test as observer, knows
intimately how grueling were the
trips to and fro during those difficult
two weeks. Ankeny, rather than
trust some one TO whom the success OF
the run meant less, selected Lieut.

with him covered the 336 hours.

SWEDEN WILL CARRY
MAIL VIA AIR ROUTE
Now Making Preliminary Surveys
for Aerial System.

Last November Germany's Zeppelin
post routes linking her chief cities
were announced to the world as sur
veyed and ready for the opening Of
traffic. Next came Lord Montagus's
plans for an organized air traffic.
Germany replied with plans for mail
air routes between Hamburg, East
Prussia, Galieia, Vienna, Sofia, and
constantinople, and Italy followed
with the actual operation Of aerial
mail routes.
Now Il Is Sweden with preliminary
surveys over a route that considers
NykopinE, MaImsatt, NassJo, Alfvesta.
Hesselholm. Varberg, Goteborg, Fal-
koping, Halsberg. Katrineholm, and
Stockholm as probable landing sites.
Such Is the cable of London Daily
News correspondent
The Swedish plans also are for for
eign routes. There Is q north EURO
pean route to connect with Norwes-
ian mails and convey them and Swe-
dish mails to Finland and Russia
Connections also would handle mail
from Germany, Holland. Belgium, and
France.
Russia Is said to have approved the
scheme and has even offered to find
the gasolene and lubricating oil IL
Sweden will initiate the service dur
ing the war while oils are scarce in
Scandinavia. No specially high speed
10 contemplated. The Swedish Aero
nautical Society, which is back OF the
movement, forecasts q speed Of about
seventy-two miles per hour.
