UNGATHERED HONEY.
Billions of Dollars Worth Is Lost by
Waste Every Year.

Waste Every Year.
An editorial in the Farm and Fire.
side says:
The present ccntering of attention by
economists on food waste is showing
that one of the most unnecessary loss
es of a valuable food product is the
ungathercd nectar OF flowers.
Speaking in a broad way, there are
few farms In America that do not an
nually produce several hundred weight
of honey over and above the honey re-
qulred to sustain the bee harvesters
of this appetizng staple food product.
The farms ON which the owners sys-
tematically plan to save their honey at
present are less than one in hundred.
On several million American farms
where this honey goes unharvested
year after year this wastage aggregates
billions of dollars.
A Minnesota scientific bee culturist,
Francis jaeger. is authority for the
statement that 100 colonies of honey
bees suitably located and properly car
cd for can be expected to average q
net production of profit twice as great
as that of the average 1GO acre farm
of his state can show. while the equip
ment and overhead are less. or course
100 colonies of bees cannot be pastrr-
cd on an average sized farm, but there
are innumcrable farms where n dozen
hives of bees could gather 500 worth
Of honey annually.

GIVE ATTENTION TO CALVES
Sour Milk, Irregular Feeding and Vary
Ing Temperatures VIII Not
Make Good Animals.

If you have spring calves you need
give them attention in order to keep
them growing. Sour milk, irregular
feeding, and varying temperatures of
the milk. will not make good calves.
After the calves have been changed
to skim milk the temperature of the
milk can gradually be reduced until
cold milk is fed all the time. 1t had
best be cold all the time than warm
one feed, cold another and hot an
other. If farm separator is used,
of course the milk should be fed as
soon as SKINNED.

can afford or believe TO be desirable.
Hopper feeding fills out all deficiencies
and saves the time of the owners, while
insuring that no chick shall get less
than he needs. With chicks on full
range, this Is not as necessary, of
course, as with chicks raised in con.
finement. But in all conditions l be-
lievc little box of dry feed free to all
the chicks Is first rate thing to pro-
vide
The best ration for breeding fowls Is
plenty of good corn. u smalhamount of
oats and all the dried meat scrap and
wheat bran the fowls want to eat. A
box of ground bran, box of charcoal
and box of crushed oyster shells
where the fowls can help themselves
and good supply of green grass will
give more vitality to the eggs than
any other feed.
The meat scrap and bran can be kept
before the fowls whore they can help
themselves They will not overeat
after they have become accustomed to
the food Some persons have an idea
that corn Is not good for breeding
hens, but my experience Is that hens
which eat large amounts Of corn trans
nit more vitality to the chicks than
those receiving other grains.

CARE OF PERISHABLES
Proper Methods Of Handling,
Shipping and Storing.
United States Department Of Aerieul-
ture Making Effort to Decrease
Great Waste Of Fruits and
Vegetables.

OFrom the United States Department of
Agriculture)
In an effort to decrease the great
waste of perishable fruits and vege-
tables due to careless and improper
handling, which subtracts hundreds Of
thousands of pounds Of food from the
country's supply each year, the bureau
of markets and the bureau Of plant in
dustry of the United States department
of agriculture will, as rapidly as prac-
ticable, extend the present demonstra-
tionnl and investigational work with
producers, shippers, carriers and ware
houscmcn regarding proper methods Of
handling perishables. This work will
he taken up with funds just made
available in the food production bill
recently enacted by congress.
Specialists declare that the success
full transportation or storage of perish
ables is primarily dependent upon care
full and proper handling methods when
being prepared for shipment. If care
lessly or improperly handled when har-
vested and packed, all care exercised
thereafter to insure sound condition
may be largely ineffective and result in
serious loss to the producer as well as
loss of foodstuffs to the consumer. Spe-
cialists in the harvesting and handling
of fruits and vegetables, through dem
onstrational work and other practical
BILE means in the important producing
sections, will reach as many produc-
ers and shippers as possible.
These and other specialists also will
advise producers in the construction
and alteration of storage houses for
products that can be successfully
stored, especially without artificial re-
frigeration, and in regard to the most
efficient use and management Of such
storage houses. Specialists declare
that losses of fruits and vegetables are
high in many well-constructed storage
houses merely because the equipment
is improperly used.
The department will seek to reduce
losses of perishables still further by
demonstrating to carriers and urging
upon them the use of improved refrig-
orator cars which give uniformly
greater refrigeration efficiency with
marked economies as regards ice con-
sumption and in heavier loading. Sew
eral thousand refrigerator cars have
been built or rebuilt in practical con-
formity with the results of recent in
vestigatiOns and are in use on many
railways. 1t is the hope Of the de-
partment specialists that the use of
uniformly better equipment may be-
come much more general during the
years when war needs make the con-
servation of food especially import
ant.

The Supreme Court.

For the supreme court of the United
States there IS no exact precedent ci-
thcr in the ancient or the modern timcS.
In making the great constitution the
fathers" availed themselves of all
past knowledge and experience, but 1t
was probably from the French publ
cist Montcsquicu that they got their
idea of the supreme court. In this
book, "Thc Spirit Of the Laws" MOir-
tesquieu, after making mastery anal
ysis of all forms of government, uses
these words: There is no liberty If the
judicial power be not separated from
the legislative and the executive" The
trainers of the constitution knew Mon
tesquieu's book well. and there is not
any room for doubt about their getting
the idea of the supreme court from
that source.-New York American.

REASON FOR LESS CHICKENS
High Price of Grain Has Caused Many
Farmers to Part With Fowls
Eggs Also Higher.

Because Of the present prices of
grain, there is tendency this year on
the part of poultrymen to keep fewer
hens and to raise fewer chickens. The
price Of grain is higher now than for
years. Many farmers killed Off their
flocks last year and many are keeping
a smaller percentage than ever before.
They have not stopped to consider the
poultry situation seriously. While feed
has gone up 60 to 70 per cent during
the past year. eggs also have increased
In price.

MAKING POULTRY PAY.
Freedom From Insects and Proper Feed
Will Bring Success.

Freedom From Insects and Proper Feed
Will Bring Success.
When anything is found wrong with
poultry or other domesticated birds
the maxim should be ''look for lice"
writes a poultry expert in the Phila-
delphla Press. Every year l believe
more thoroughly in this maxim. There
are two reasons why this must be true.
They lie In the fact that lice breed In
infinite numbers at the very season
when other work is most insistently
claiming every thought and every
ounce of strength which the workers
have to spare and in the additional
encouraging fact that chicks from
thrifty progeny on range can fight or
all other ills II they are kept free from
lice.
To give the chicks fair chance for
their fight dust the hens at the end
of each week or sitting. as 1t is said to
take brood of lice about n week to
hatch. Then put very little plain
oil on the head Of each chick, use
little kerosene on the hens and trust
to the favorable conditions prepared
to give the results desired. Tobacco
dust, simple and cheap, is used for
busting the hens. do not like to use
any dust on small chicks, as 1t seems
to me there is danger of OVERRIDING the
matter.
The question of feed is disposed Of
in the same way. We plan to give as
much time TO feeding soft mash as VIC
