RurYinu the Hatchaf.

This expression, meaning 'let by
cones be bygones," is derived from a
custom once in vogue among the North
American Indians. According to q
command Of the "great spirit" they
were obliged, when they smoked the
pipe Of peace, to bury in the ground
their tomahawks, scalping knives and
war clubs in token that all enmity
was at an end.

The pilgrim fathers were undoubted-

dauntless courage, fire, frost, famine
and the red menace of Indian ruthless

all these things and had In addition to
stand the pilgrim fathers as well.-

the plants are well up, thin out
to 4 or inches apart and draw

This gives depth to the roots,

be cut as often as possible to keep

Suggestions for the Control of Foul
Brood Among Bees

Very few colonies of bees actually
die from foul brood during the sum-
mer. The disease causes the colonies
to become very weak, and they,
therefore, store up little food for win
ter. If they do not starve to death
sooner, or are not killed by robbers,
the first real cold weather usually kills
them. These conditions cause many
Deekeepers to look upon the death of
their bees as purely due to winter
Killing. In a large measure, winter
killing is due to disease.
From now on until late spring,
every beekeeper should look upon the
death of any colony with suspicion.
Watch the hives on warm days, and,
II the bees are not flying from some
hives and not from others, take the
hive from which bees are not flying,
inside of building and there make
an examinationof the interior. If the
colony is found to be dead or nearly
so, do not again place the hive where
it can be robbed, but suffocate the bees
and close the hive securely. ANY
colony that is being robbed may be a
source of disease, which disease may
be carried to all healthy colonies in
the vicinity.
Any beekeeper who is not familiar
with the appearance of combs in
which disease is present should send
a piece of the comb under suspicion
to the State Inspector of Apiaries,
East Lansing, Mich. A box for mail
ing will be furnished, if desired. No
charges are made for the examination
of the comb. IF disease is found to
be present, specific directions for dis
posing of the combs, and for treating

ROAD TAX SMALL
UNDER COUNTY SYSTEM

The following letter was written to
the voters of Barry county by resi-
dent Of Kalamazoo county year ago
when the former county was about to
vote upon the county road system. 1t
shows the big advantage the county
system has been to to Kalamazoo
county. Here is what the writer says I:
To the voters of Barry county:
/ am paying taxes in Barry county
and Kalamazoo county. Nv entire
road tax for each county is as follows:
Kalamazoo, $2.36, per 100000
valuation.
Barry, 1914 per 100000 valua-
ton.
In Kalamazoo county in the town.
ship where ! pay taxes, we get three
miles of state reward road every 9TH
er year, and we paid $3.50 per thou
sand valuation extra for mile of
stone road in 1913. And Kalamazoo
county must be getting 26 to 80 miles
of state reward road each year, and
am paying my share of it; while in
Barry county my taxes are more than
in Kalamazoo county, and / have
helped to pay for but two miles of
state road in my township since
have lived there. i claim our taxes
will not increase if the county road
proposition carries, butthat we will
get system of good roads and draw
many times more the amount of money
from the state for road building than
Barry county is doing now.

Today's Poem
The Blue Jay

The Blue Jay
(By Jennie Lind Allen)
Dressed in his best, with quaint little
cap
Jauntily set on his head;
He perches on limb of an apple-tree-
And coaxes away to be fed.
He very well knows that his notes can
be heard,
And some one will hasten to throw
Peanuts or crumbs in the well-beaten
path,
Just under the tree on the snow.
He's cute little fellow with appetite
keen,
And peanuts are chosen instead
Of the crumbs that are plentifully
sprinkled about
He much prefers peanuts to bread.
His voice is discordant at times, we
allow,
But sometimes he takes on tone
That vibrates with music as sweet as
can be
although this may not be we'll
known.)
We welcome you, Blue Jay, in spite
of your greed,
And gladly We'll feed you each day;
There's food and to spare from our
table; we know
Your visits all efforts repay.
