Tests recently undertaken by the
British Imperial Institute concerning
the suitability of waffle bark for the
manufacture of paper, have been
highly successful. A good quality of
brown paper has been made from the
bark discarded by tanners. This
paper bleaches readily to a cream
tint and has been pronounced suitable
for newspaper purposes, and with
further treatment may make servic-
able writing paper. Several large pa
per mills, it is announced, are now
proceeding to confirm the experiments
conducted by the Imperial Institute

OPPORTUNITY FOR TRAINED MEN
University of Idaho Bulletin Calls At
fention to Requirements.

The University of Idaho Bulletin for
September, just issued, calls attention
to the great need for men trained in the
line of dairy manufacturing, as follows:
The opportunities for men well train
ed along dairy manufacturing lines are
particularly numerous and inviting Just
now. The growing demands of the in
dustry and the reduction in the number
of available men through selective draft
and enlistments have made the supply
of adequately trained men unequal to
the demand. During the last season
this shortage of men has been a source
of embarrassment to many creamery
concerns. The situation promises to be
much more serious next spring.
Five Months Dairy Course.
I'm the attempt to aid in the solu.
ton of this problem, the University
of Idaho desires to call attention to
the five months creamery course, the
first term of which opens on October

22. The instruction given in this course
consists of lectures and laboratory
practice in the manufacturing, handling
and marketing of butter, cheese, ice
cream and other dairy products. In the
university creamery, practical CONNER
cial methods are followed and the train
ing and practice which the student re-
ceives are calculated to qualify him to
fill responsible positions in the manu-
featuring departments of commercial
concerns.
Men Must Be Schooled-
With the great increase in the
value of dairy products, it is more i'm
perative than ever that they be prop
erly handled by trained and experienced
men. The young man who desires to
take part in, this industry which
furnishes Is percent of the human food
supply of the United States should be
influenced very strongly by the present
exceptional opportunities for service to
prepare himself for more responsible
position and at the same time he may
be assured that he is doing that which
will make him of G. eater service to his
country along food conservation lines.

WINTER LOSS OF BEES
Queeil'ess Colony Will Certainly
Die in Few Nc :lths.
Among Known Causes c. Damage Are
Lack of Numbers, insufficient
Food, Dampness, Lack of Air
and Low Temperature.

By FRANCIS JAEGER. University Farm,
St. 'Paul0
The winter losses of bees are great
every year. Beekeepers car reduce
these losses by preparing their bees
ter quarters.
The chief known causes for winter
losses are queenlessness, lack of NUM-
beers in colonies, insufficient food, poor
food, dampneSs, lack of air, the break
ing of clusters, and low tempera-
lures.
A queenless colony will certainly die
in 4 few months.
If the number of bees in colony is
small, the cluster cannot generate
enough heat or keep the heat it gen.
crates and the bees freeze. In the
fall small colonies should be united
into one big colony.
Bees must eat in the winter in order
to generate heat. They must have
about 40 pounds of honey when
they go into winter quarters. If they
are short, they should be supplied
early with finished frames or fed
sugar strip. Dark (nOt amber) honey
is poor food for bees to winter on. All
black honey should be &emoved and
combs of white honey should be in
serted.
DampneSS in a cellar causes the
combs and frames and the hive walls
and cover to get wet and mOldy, and
the bees perish from wet cold. Bees
need fresh air. Foul air will cause
excitement, and the bees will scatter
and die. Excitement among bees in
winter is fatal.
The present style of Hoffman frame
divides the bee cluster in winter into
IL spaces, and the bees are unable
to pass from one space to the other
When the bee cluster contracts during
the winter, those left ON the outside
frames die. Some beekeepers per.
forate their frames for the easy pass,
| age Of bees from one compartment to
another. If kept in warm place they
can pass over or around the frames. In
| lOng-continued and severe cold the
bees may not be able to move along
| the frame and they will sometimes die
of hunger within an inch of the honey
supply.
Bees should be kept in a cellar al
Il temperature of about 45 degrees
! Very strong colonies, however. will
survive almost any degree of cold.

CLEAN MATERIAL FOR NESTS
Hay, Straw, Leaves, Excelsior, Etc.
Should Be Changed Occasionally
Burn All Rubbish.

The nest materials, such as hay.
straw, excelsior, leaves, ETC., should
be changed occasionally, as foul ma
terial is good breeding place for
germs of diseases. Insects are also
likely to harbor in the old nests if the
materials are not changed from time
to time: -..
At this season of the year attention
should be given to cleanliness. All
rubbish such as old nest materials
should be burned or carefully. fumi-
gated and thrown in the manure heap.
The nest should be renewed with
clean, sanitary materials. Those who
do not think it makes much difference
to hens are badly mistaken. Hens
are not likely to lay in foul, unsani-
tary nests and often "steal their nest
off where it is. hard to find.
