TRANSFERRING BEES.

College Park, July Invaluable
suggestions are offered to Maryland
beekeepers in circular by G. c. Gale.

says in part:
transferring may be accomplished
in several ways, but the following 10
suggested as the easiest:
A frame hive provided with one
or two frames OF worker comb
or foundation La placed on the
stand Of the colony to be trans
ferred, and the latter colony set to one
side and turned upside down A bex
large enough to invert over this colony
Is then secured and the bees are
d mined up into 1t by constantly beat
ing on the sides Of the hive with
sticks. When most Of the bees have
gathered in the box they may be
shaken on a cloth placed IN ffeRtt- 81
the new hive and started running in
by gently smoking them. The queen
must be with the bees If the colony In

ALFALFA GROWING
PROVES 4 SUCCESS
County Agents Urge a Web
Prepared Seed Bed.
LINING is NECESSARY
The Soil Should Be lnocuiated And
Well Fertliized For the SesS
Results.

College Park, July I'm view OF
the many successful demonstrations
In growing alfalfa conducted by Mary
land farmers in cooperation with their
county demonstration agents. there
will be . considerable increase In the
acreage seeded this year. That II Is
most important to give careful atten-
ton to details in seeding alfalfa has
been repeatedly proven and In car
cular issued by the Maryland Agrlcul'
tural Extension Service, w. B. Kemp
specialist in farm crops, brings the
attention of alfalfa growers to num-
Der of important facts. MI. Kemp
says:
Alfalfa requires much more COM
plete drainage than do other farm
crops. Land inclined to be wet and
springy in winter and early spring.
although dry enough during the grow
ing season to produce good crops OF
corn. wheat, oats and grass. ID not
drained we'll enough for alfalfa. On
such land alfalfa is sure to be Killed
out sooner or later by heaving due 70
the frequent freezing and thawing so
common some seasons.
Filming for alfalfa is absolutely nee
essary on practically all Maryland
soils; even in the natural lime stone
sections. It makes little or no diner.
ence what kind Of lime Is used II tho
proper amount Of each Is applied. 1t
is a question of cost and ease Of hand
ling rather than the effect upon the
alfalfa.
"The amount of lime to use under
average conditions is one ton per acre
Of oaustic lime; 1. e., burnt stone or
lump lime, ground lime or nurnt oys-
ter shells. Hydrated lime should be
used at the rate of 1900 to 2700 pounds
and ground lime stone or ground oys-
ter shells should be applied at the
rate of 5000 pounds to tons per acre.
"The best time to apply lime 10 the
season before sowing the alfalfa II,
however, this is not convenient or Is
impracticable, it may be applied just
before, or even after seeding. with
the assurance Of good results and no
injury"

Economic Feed and Labor

Himself.

College Park. July 7e.-In co-operS
don with the several County Demon
stration Agents. the Maryland Agricul
tural Extension Service ID urging the
building Of silos by the dairymen OF
the State. When grain 10 so high In
price it becomes necessary for every
dairyman to feed his COWS some cheap
or feed. No better feed for dairy cows
has been found than silage. II you
have as many as ten COWS on your
place. you should plan to have silo
A cow will use about 8 tons Of sibaga
in a year and on an acre of good corn
ground you can grow to 10 tons OF
silage and possibly more. Neither will
building a silo cost anywhere near az
much as the expensive feeding ID
grain. Write TO your County Demon
stration Agent. asking him to furnish
you plans for building q silo and An
estimate Of what 1t will cost. II yos
do not know who your Agent Is. write
to the Maryland Agricultural Exten
sion Service. College Park, Nd. Your
County Agent will not only furnish
plans for building a silo. but will come
to your farm and see that tho work lie
properly started.
In this connection, G. e. Wolcott
dairy specialist for the Extension
Service, recommends a cheap and
satisfactory type Of silo that meets
the needs of the practical dairyman,
Mr. Wolcott says: "a cheap silo that
will keep silage perfectly and last for
seevral years can be made by mailing
the best grade Of flooring to wooden
hoops. The hoops are made OF green
white oak strips. one-half inch thick
and four inches wide. The length OF
the strips will be determined by the
diameter Of the silo.
"The material required for the con-
struction of a silo 10 - feet ID a.
follows:

EGGS VALUABLE FOR FOOD.

College Park, July 26.-Poultryman
Roy H. Waite, of the Maryland Asrt'
cultural Experiment Station. calls the
attention Of poultry growers to the adj
vertising value Of the high food value
Of eggs. Mr.. Waite says: Recently
full-paged, colored advertisements
have been appearing in most Of the
leading women's magazines, telling
how a certain kind of baking powder
will take the place Of eggs. These ad-
vertisements say nothing about the de-
creased food values During the win.
ter the newspapers Of the country con-
tanned many accounts Of boycott Of
eggs on account Of high prices.
Eggs contain considerable quaint
ties Of protein. and, II not too high In
price, have a wide, ETC., ETC.. etc. This
was quoted from a recent publication.
and IL the way tho value OF eggs a.
compared with other similar food prod.
uots Is usually handled by writer's on
the subject II not too high in price
What is high in price!'
"a few years ago eggs sold at
very low price, and consumers do not
seem able to forget this price. II they
could only be made to appreciate the
full value Of eggs as food when con'
pared with other similar food sub
stances, consumers might look upon
eggs with a little different attitude.
They might consider them at their
true worth 40 compared with other
foodstuffs.
"Thers has never been a campaign
made to teach the consumer the value
Of this product The only large or.
ganization devoted to the interests OF
poultry has almost completely neglect.
cd this field, while spending tta
energies upon stimulating . creates
production.
Nov that the poultry raisers are
being induced to show their patriot.
ism by raising large quantities OF poul
try products, It Is only fair that some
attention be given toward educating
the public to appreciate the value OF
these products and an appreciation of
what the poultry raisers are doing for
the country. In general, 1t may be
said that a dozen eggs are worth just
a little more than a pound and one,
half Of meat; thus with beefsteak at
81 cents a pound, eggs would give an
equal amount Of nutritive material at
the same price when selling at 48
cents a dozen. A pound and one-haH
OF steak would cost 48 cents and would
be equal in food value 10 one dozen
eggs. There are, however. other
things to be taken into consideration
here. Eggs can be prepared for use
much more cheaply, and they will go
further in serving
ut Is certainly time that consumers
learned the value Of egss 80 that they
can give the poultry ra1sers their due.

AIMS HOUSE REPORT,

We. the undersigned committee
named by your body to visit the Aims
House, beg to submit the followiug
report:
We visited the Aims House on Sat
urday, October 9th, and found Is in
mates 81 white male, d white females,
colored males, and colored females,
who seemed to be well cared for, being
properly clothed, with comfortab Die and
tidy sleeping quarters, and we wish to
lay especial emphasis on the CleanIi-
ness and apparent sanitary condition
of the institution.
We find the building in a fair state of
repair, there being some minor repairs
needed tor which, we learn, provisions
have been made.
There has been recently built on the
tatm barn 32x8o feet, which is well
constructed and will prove of great
service to care for provender and stock
needed there. This, we understand
was built to stable the county mules
during their idle season. The lumber
ground and the building is under con-
struction.
We find there one horse and mule,
farm is worked; we find one cow and
would recommend that the number be
increased to three or four we also find
seven killing hogs and a SOW with five
pigs.
MIR. Moore, the keeper, reports to us
that about four acres of white potatoes,
will make about rs barrels of corn and
has plenty of vegetables to supply the
place until spring, having about 20 bar
rels of early potatoes surplus to sell,
after observation, we believe this to be
the proper time.
We wish to fusther report that the
keeper produced to us receipts for the
aggregate sum of S3IS 80 paid in to the
County Commissioners office during the
past year from the sale OF vegetables
not needed at the Institution. We can
learn of no time previous to this III the
history of the Institution, that it has
ever contributed in so substantial way
to its own support. 1t is pleasure to
US, therefore, to commend It's present
management. Respectfully,
WILLARD THORNE,
