FARM HORSE WORKED
TO UTMOST CAPACITY
Wise Use of Animal Is of Vital
Concern TO Farmer, Says
Agricultural Department.

CFrom the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
The horse that works 1000 hours
year and costs 500 for feed, shelter,
ETC., is cheaper than the horse that
costs but $75 for keep and works but
500 hours. The former costs but 10
cents per hour worked. while the lat
ter costs 10 cents. Wise use of the
farm horse to his fullest working ca
pacity is thus of vital concern to the
farmer, according TO United States
department of agriculture bulletin $50.
Just issued, "Cost of Keeping Farm
Horses and Cost of Horse Labor" en-
bodying the results of the study Of
the records for 316 horses on 81 farms
in Illinois, Ohio, and New York.
In Illinois 154 horses on 10 farms
showed an average yearly. cost for
keep of S100.65. The average yearly
hours worked per horse were 1858
and the cost per hour worked 9.56
cents. Records for " horses in Ohio
showed an average cost of keep per
horse S66, and cost per hour 1900
cents. In New York the average year
~ cost per horse of 80 horses on 10
farms was $145.O2, average hours
worked 1,020, and average cost per
hour 14.22 cents.

FAMOUS AS CURRANT ISLAND
Zante, in the Ionian Sea, Also Is Noted
for Its olives and Earth
quakes.

Zante, the famous currant island OF
the Ionian sea, where the revolution
ary movement against the policy Of
King Constantine followed close upon
the heels of similar manifestations OF
discomfort in Crete and Lesbos, is de-
scribed by the National Geographic
society in the following war geography
bulletin:
The frequency with which Zante Is
visited by earthquakes OF disastrous
severity accounts in some measure for
the comparative lack of prosperity on
this Ionian island, which enjoys sa-
luxurious climate, is abundantly wa
tered by springs, still deserves the
appellation of wooded Zaeynthos,
applied to 1t by the poet Virgil, and
whose central plain is veritabie gar
den spot with the succession or VINE
yards and olive groves.
Zane lies eight miles south of the
island of Cephal0nia and is nine miles
west of the nearest point on the Pelo-
ponnesian coast. Its greatest length
is about % miles and it has maxi
mum breadth of IL miles. The west
ern half of the island consists of Sc
ries of bare, limestone mountains
which slope gradually down TO the
eastward until the luxuriantly fertile
central plain is reached. The eastern
side Of the island also is elevated, but
here the hills are clad with vines ana
groves of the fig, olive and orange.
The olives of Zante are, with the ex-
ception of those grown on the neigh
boring Island of Corfu. the largest III
this part of the world.
The chief product of the island ana
the principal article of export is the
currant (Which derives its na@e from
its native city, Corinth,. This small
grape, which grows on dwarf Vlne'
has played and is still playing an iSl-
part In the economical life or Greeee.
A mania for currant culture swept
over Zante and other sections or the
country adapted to the vines CROWN

feentb century, to meet shortage IN

France, but it resulted disastrously
for the Zantiots.
Zante was coloniZed either by the
Arcadians or Achaens in very early
times. 1t remained Independent for
many generations, but in the middle of
the fifth century, before the Christian
era, the Athenian Admiral Tolmides
forced the inhabitants to acknowledge
the supremacy of his city, while Spar
| tas sway was accepted after the PelO-
ponnesian war. In 357 B. G. the island
was used as a base of operations
against Syracuse by Dion, the pupil Of
Plato. The expedition was a success,
but Dion's career as master of SYRIA
cuse was shOrt-lived, for he fell vic
tim to the assassin Callippus, one Of
his own Athenian followers.
The Macedonians captured Zante in
PIT B. c., and they were followed by
the Romans, under whose regime the
island was part of the province of
Epirus. Vandals, NormanS, Franks
and Turks held the island In turn I'M
| til 1856, when the Venetians bought
| it from the last-named conquerors.
The long suzerainty of the republic
! city is reflected today not only in the
appearance Of the people, but in their
| language, and most of the Zanitiot
aristocracy boast of their Venetian
descent, while they speak both the
Greek and Italian lans aages.
In 1907 the island became French
possession, and shortly afterward was
occupied for a brief season by the
Russians, who were followed by the
British. In 1864 England coded Zante
and the other Ionian islands to the
modern kingdom of Greece.
An interesting natural phenomenon
of the island is shallow spring on the
Bay of Keria, where both pitch and
water bubble up. The pitch has been
used by the natives in caulking their
boats since the days of Herodotus.
On the east coast is the capital city
and chief seaport, Zante, occupying
the site of the ancient city of Zacyn-
thos. Its $4,000 people represent a
third of the total population of the
island.

of 1856. That there Is something DARK
and unfriendly about 1t is more than
a legend The Bosphorus Is 20 miles
long, and at one point of it's tortuous
course the hills of Europe and Asia
come within $50 yards Of each other.
The Dardanelles is twice as long and
nearly twice as wide, varying from
1,400 yards to five miles. Its Euro
pean shore, Gallipoli peninsula, is the
Thracian Chersonese of the ancients.
and it's steep ridge overloOks the plain
of Troy on the Asiatic bank and the
broken foothills of Mount Ida.
Sea of Marmora Is Delightful.
While it's two historic gateways are
strategically the most important fea-
lures of Marmora, that picturesque
little sea has a character all its own.
In any other part of the world it
would long ago have become a place
of sojourn for yachtsmen. and sum-
merers, so happily is it treated by sun
and wind, so amply provided with
boys, capes, islands, mountains, forests
and all other accidents Of nature that
make glad the heart Of the amateur
explorer. AS it is, the MarmOra re-
mains strangely wild for sea that
has known so much of life. More
numerous than the settlements of to-
day are the ruins of yesterday. About
no body of water in the world, Of equal
size, have stood so many stately
cities. It is almost impossible, indeed,
to give any coherent account of the
story of MarmOra, so much history and
legend have crowded its shores.
The true question of the straits
arose as early as the fifth century
B. c., when Alcibiades of Athens cOun-
seled the people Of ChrysOpOlis, the
modern Scutari, at the southeastern
extremity of the BOsphorus, to take
toll of passing ships. But the Otto
man regulation of the straits has been
far more jealous than anything at
tempted by the ancients. The Turks
have allowed no foreign men-Of-war
to enter the MarmOra unless under
rare and special circumstances and
not only do they exercise surveillance
over the traffic in the straits, but
twice during the four years preceding
the war they closed the Dardanelles
to navigation of any kind.

ton of stores, chiefly by. providing q
sufficiently high surrounding temper
ature.
In mild climates, in which there are
frequent days when bees can fly and
rid themselves of feces, the injurious
effects of poor stores are less notice
able, because the feceS do not accu-
mulate sufficiently to cause abnormal
activity. The accumulation of feces
is to be considered as an irritant, caus-
ing responses similar to disturbance
by Earring or exposure to light.
Proper Insulation.
The exact method of packing is not
especially important, provided enough
insulation is given on all Sides. Colo7
MES may be packed singly in any sort
of box, or they may be packed In
groups of four. Some beekeepers ar
range colonies in long rows and apply
insulation to the whole row. The plac-
ing OF several hives in contact has
the advantage that the colonies insul-
ate one another. If arranged in groups
of four, two facing east and two west
they may be left on the same stand
throughout the year and are readily
manipulated during summer. If In
long rows close together, summer ma
nipulations are impeded, unless the
hives are moved after the insulation
is removed. Placing colonies in long
rows is therefore not advisable. What
ever type of outer case is used, IL
should be tight, to prevent rain and
snow from wetting the insulating ma
terial.
If the bees do not have sufficient
stores, they may be given combs of
honey but these should always be
given before cold weather, so that
proper cluster space may be formed
by the moving of honey, since bees al
ways cluster in empty cells OF the
comb adjacent to stores.
Feed Sugar Strip.
If honey in combs is not available,
the bees may be fed extracted honey,
but the usual practice is to feed
thick sugar strip made of two or two
and one-half parts of sugar to one
part of water by volume. To this
strip one ounce of tartaric acid should
be added for each 40 to 60 pounds OF
sugar while the strip is being heat
ed to the boiling point to dissolve the
sugar crystals. The strip should be
boiled 10 minutes. The acid helps to
invert the cane sugar, thus retarding
it's granulation in the comb. If there
is any question as to the quality of
the stores, it is good practice to feed
ten pounds of strip at the time OF
packing, in addition to the stores pro-
vided earlier, this being stored imme-
diately above the cluster. 1t Is thus
used first, and an accumulation OF
feces does not occur so long as the
bees use only the sugar sirup. There
is, however, no better food In winter
than q good quality of honey. AS was
stated earlier, honey-dew honey causes
a rapid accumulation of feces, result
ing in dysentery.e If this is present In
the fall, 1t should be removed and bet
ter stores given. Some fall honeys
are similarly injurious, but their in
furious effects may be reduced by feed
ing strip at the time Of packing.

cts as that where the de-
cid1ng master strokes in this most
titan-like of all struggles are to be
delivered q sketch of this remarkable
regions past, prepared by Harry Girls
void Dwight for the National Geo
graphic society, is of more than usual
interest. Here the West won it's self
confidence, and this confidence has
borne fruits with splendid richness for
longer than 1000 years. Here the
course of civilization has been changed
and modified several times, and here
again, the attention of the world has
been fixed in the belief of many that
the future Of Europe will once more
be determined by events there.
There is something alluring in the
very shape and position of these lakes
the Black sea and the Sea of Mar
mOra-separating as they do the two
most historic continents of our globe,
and communicating with each other
and with the outer seas by openings
that seem miraculous. And those land
locked waters have been from earliest
times the theater of epic events. For
us Of the West no legends are older
than those of Zeus and 10, of PhryxuS
and Helle, of the Trojan war, of Jason
and the Argo, which commemorate the
earliest voyages into the Great Lakes
of the Levant.
Black Sea a Vast Body of Water.
OF the two, the Marmora-the Pro-
points, if you prefer to be classical
is by far the smaller. Not much more
than 100 miles long and some forty
miles across at it's broadcast part, it is
about the same size as Lake Cham
plain. The MarmOra has much of the
sOftness of air, vividness of color, and
beauty of scenery that we associate
with the Aegean and Ionia seas.
Thread the narrow slit of the Bos-
phorus, however, and you pass into an
entirely different world - sterner,
barer rocker, colder.
If the Marmora may be compared
to Lake Champlain, the Black sea is
about four times the size of our great
est lake. Lake Superior is Alp miles

Primary Receipts Liberal,
But Little Wheat Is Go

Chicago, May 26.-wheat: Prices rail-
lied q little early in the session but
later broke with coarse grains and on
lack of demand. Foreign reports show
no change except that some Roadway is
being made in combating the submar-
inc danger. Weather conditions are
generally favorable and spring wheat
reports are very favorable. Cast pre-
miums have worked of a little but
there is no special weakness in this
direction and while primary receipts
are liberal. there is no great amount
of wheat coming on sale. The market
will probably continue nervous.
Corn: Corn was forced again on
commission house selling and the de-
mand soon gave out. July was as weak
as September. The cash demand is only
fair except from local industries. The
weather map showed general rains and
the crop has SUFFICIENT moisture. Talk
of selling of old corn was heard In O
more general way today. Liquidation
is likely to run it's course unless there
comes some radical change in crop out
look. ~
Oats: oats advanced on short cover

being under pressure. weakness In
Cash trade is quiet. The market Is

SENTIMENT is BEARIsH.
Tendency In Grains is quite
Evident

Chicago. May 26.-sentiment in the
grain trade taken as a whole is more
bearish, says The Herald. There is
little selling of July owing to light
stocks for the present and prospective.
September is being sold by liquidators
and shorts. On the recent advance the
short interest was driven out of all
grains and the rapid and severe de-
clines now are largely the result as
there is little new bull speculation
coming into the markets. In fact, there
is a feeling among the trade leaders
that there Is nothing bullish consider
ing the present price. From the way
July wheat and oats were sold yester-
day the trade had the impression that
foreigners were unloading.
Scattered longs among the foreign
ers were dropping out of wheat, but
there was no confirmation of their
sales of oats. July corn was picked up
by few commission houses in a way
that attracted attention at the last as
1t lost only 1-3 cent for the day against
LIS for September. There is fear
of congestion in July.
