BEES ARE GREATEST
FARM MONEY. MAKERS
One Hundred Hives More VaIu-
able Than 80-ACre Farm,
Says Minnesota Expert.

One hundred hives of bees are
worth as much, or even more, than an
s0-acre farm, says Francis jaeger of
Minnesota university farm, st. Paul.
For capital invested and labor re-
quired, adds Mr.. jaeger, bees are far
the greatest money-makers one can
keep on the farm. One hundred
pounds is q fair average production
under good management of the bee
yard. At this rate 100 hives would
produce 10000 pounds of honey in one
year. This, at ten cents pound,
would give a return of $1,000 for one
year.
None of this has to be used to pay
for feed for the bees, for all their food
and honey comes from the flowers Of
the roadsdes, woods, and meadows.
Further, little or no rent Is required
for the land, for the beehlves can be
placed along roadsides and in meadows
where the bees have food at their very
loOrs.
The only large expense is for equip
ment such as hives and supers, and
his equipment will last lifetime. 1t
oan be supplied for $500. This means
yearly charge Of only about SO.
The bees can be obtained free by
catching swarms in summer. Then by
the use of purebred Italian queens,
these swarms can be multiplied into
purebred aplary.
The total annual cost Of the bees
'or one year then Is less than $50 ex-
,Eusive of labor. The actual labor re-
guired is worth S134 at the rate of
300 per year, for only one-third of
the time of one man is needed, ac-
cording to Mr.. jaeger, who finds that
one man can easily care for 300 hives.
This leaves a net profit Of $846 for one
year.

LAMBS ON SOY BEAN AND CORN PASTURE

(By p. G. HOLDEN, Former Dean OF
Iowa Agricultural College,
In good farming allow nothing to &c
to waste.
On many farms every year grass and
weeds around buildings, in barn lots
along fences and roads, in corn or
stubble fields, go to seed and become
waste material. These weeds could be
turned to good account if there was a
bunch of sheep to eat them.
No farm animal will respond more
readily to care and feed than sheep.
They need but little attention if such
as they require is given them at the
right time.
There is worldwide shortage of
sheep. The consumption of mutton is
on the increase. The wool supply of
the world is about exhausted. Fat
lambs and wool bring good figures. Not
on account of the war, but from a
genuine demand of the people. There
is wonderful interest in sheep-grCwing
everywhere, but the demand for NUT
ton and wool is so great that producers
cannot meet it. There should be sheep
on every farm.
Sheep need a change of pasture.
Turning them from one field into an
other furnishes this change and keeps
the sheep healthy.
Expensive housing is unnecessary.
Warm shelter is essential only when
the lambs are very young The roof is
the important part of the sheep
house. Keep the sheep dry during the
winter season and the fleece will pro-
vide the warmth. A bunch Of good
ewes will return good profits. Their re-
quirements are simple and their re-
turns in fleece and fat lambs will sur
prise you.
There is no better winter feed for
the ewes than good silage and alfalfa
hay. A good eve will give more milk
for the feed consumed, than will the
best dairy COW. Her lamb will do the
milking, and by converting the milk

more per 100 pounds for the ewes
milk than for the cows, and in addt-
ton, the eve furnishes a fleece each
year to sell.
Care should be taken not to feed
sour or moldy siIage to sheep. 1t will
kill them. Large ewes raising lambs
can be fed sweet silage up to four or
five pounds per day, after they have
become accustomed to it. During the
winter before the lambs arrive, the
ewes, if in good condition at the start,

Chicken Had Unusual Dressing.

A roasted chicken enabled two pris'
oners to escape from the county jail
at New Brunswick, N. j., despite the
inspection of their cells every ten
minutes and the armed guards who
surrounded the building. To outward
appearances the fowl, which was sent
to the prison by brother of the men,
was brown, appetizing and innocent. 1t
was learned later that, instead OF
bread crumbs and spices, its interior
held saws and files. When a keeper
made one of his inspections the men
were snoring loudly on their cots.
Ten minutes later he found that they
had disappeared by way of the win
dow from which they had wrenched
the bars. Still later the brother who
brought the chicken, and his high pow
cred automobile, were also found to
be gone.

need only light silage ration with
alfalfa hay and corn fodder. Some
times feed of bright straw Is reliShed
by the ewes.
Sheep kept In muddy yards for long
periods are almost sure to get sore
feet Give them dry footing aud there
will be no trouble.
Raising Lambs Profitable.
Select bunch of rugged mutton
shaped ewes and mate them in the
fall with purebred sire of good form
and fleece. Have the lambs born in
March if there Is plenty of good feed
for the ewes and warm shelter for the
lambs. Otherwise the lambs had bet.
ter not arrive until later when the
weather Is warmer and the ewes can
get some grass to increase their flow
of milk.
Some farmers have the lambs born
in January or February and fatten
them for earlier markets. This neces-
states much care, abundant feed and
warm shelter, but it is a profitable
business when well managed.
When the lambs are ten days old
they will begin eating grain and hay.
Fix creep for them so they can have
trough apart from their mothers,
give them some wheat bran and
cracked corn and continue to feed
them all they will eat while on pas
ture, if they are to be fattened and
sold three or four months old. The
best time to sell the lambs is before
they are one year old.
Some good farmers allow the ewes
and lambs to Craze during the sum-
mer with little or no grain, wean the
lambs in August and turn them into
the standing corn. There is no place
where a lamb will fatten faster than
In a cornfield eating grass and weeds
and weed seeds and the lower blades OF
corn.
Lambs should not be kept on oil
pastures that have been graZed by old
er sheep. There is danger of stom-
ach worms. However, if tobacco dust
or stems are kept before the sheep at
all times, they will not be troubled
with internal parasites.
Three hundred farmers reports give
$3.50 as the average cost for keeping
a eve and lamb, as against $10.15 as
the average return in wool.
Nearly all good sheep men keep
few of the best ewes each year to add
to the eve flock and take the place Of
the older and discarded ewes.

Marine Life.

According to C. r. Shoemaker of the
United States National museum, the
Danish West Indies offer an interest
ing field for study in marine life. In
one of his expeditions to st. Thomas
he found among other specimens, great
numbers of beautiful dark purplish
red crab and many species of small,
viyidly-colOred fish swimming about
the coral. These were in shades of
red and blue, and through the clear
waters were beautiful objects.

SHIPPERS OPPOSING
 INCREASED FREIGHT RATES
CRoSSIExAhtl NATION OF RAIL. ROAD HEADS COMPLETED AND NOW SHIPPERS WILL
 BE HEARD.

Washington, May 25.-Counsel for shippers in cross-examining Western railroad officials today at the inter- state commerce commissions hear ings on the carriers petition for d l5 per cent increase m fraigu rates sought to draw admissions that many of the roads could meet existing con ditions without addition revenue from freight tariffs. They also undertook to shove the commission that ecoOno- mics could be effected in railroad operations to increase revenues.
 iB L. Winchell, director of traffic of the Union Pacific, in response to questions, said his company paid an extra dividend of ? per cent a year
 In response to further questioning he said he considered establishment cf union ticket offices in the big cities of the country would effect economy He agreed with the examining attor- ney that great savings could be made if the railroads of the country operated under one directing head
 "lf you do not get this 15 per cent advance will the Union Pacific still be able to carry on business as usual and give the same service?' a. ked the attorney
 'I should say We would remain solvent for sometime" replied the witness with a smile
 From A. lL Conrad, assistant gen eral auditor of the Santa Fe, the ex- amining attorney drew the statement that during the first three months of 1917 the systems revenues increased approximately $4000 ,000 over similar period in 1916, and that the increase in operating expenses was about g. 900 900.
 w. B. Riddle, president of the St Louis and San Francisco. was cross examined prncipa ly regarding the finances of that system and it's reor- ganization.
 R. II. Ashton, president of the Chi cago and Northeastern, gave figures to show that the roads net operating revenue was more than million dol lars less during the first three months of 1917 than in the corresponding period of last year.
 Gross examination of the railroad officials was concluded today. To morrow hearings will be given over to representatives of cooperage, ice, coal, fruit and glass fruit jar and bot tie interests,
 Monday shippers of livestock and grain will be heard.
