MES from disease is probably $4,000,
600, and many beginners in beekeeping
are discouraged by the disease situa'
ton. This source of loss is therefore
serious one.
When a colony becomes populOus
during good honey flow it normally
makes preparation to swarm, thus di
viding itself into two colonies. While
this instinct is advantageous to wild
bees, it results in a reduction in the
honey crop if the division occurs, as it
usually does, just before or during the
time when nectar is especially abun.
dant. Rarely can swarming be entire
ly prevented, even with the best of
care, but the proper measure of bee
keepers skill is his success in reduc-
ing this activity. A failure to attempt
this causes untold loss in honey every
year, and the methods of swarm pre-
vention and control can be understood
only by careful study and experience.
The proper giving of room for sur.
plus honey is important in this connec-
ton. 1t is an unusually good locality
in which nectar is abundant all sum-
mer and this room must be given at
just the right time. This necessitates
watchful study of the nectar-produc'
ing flowers. 1t is quite common prac'
tice for beekeepers to put on one
"super" for the storage of surplus
honey and to wait until this is entirely
filed before giving more space. This
results in the loss of much honey from
lack of storage space, and often toe
much is stored in the part of the hive
which should be devoted to brood rear
ing. The proper placing of room for
surplus honey requires vigilance and
study, and a failure to provide this
room on time and in the proper way
often may reduce the crop to one-third.

(F'rom the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
The productive colony of bees is like
q good machine in the hands of good
mechanic. While energy is consumed
simply to run the machine, good me-
chanic does the right work at the right
time and obtains the greatest possible
reward in the machines output. So
the beekeeper who has made study
of the business and knows how proper
ly to direct the energies of the bees is
sure of winning the greatest success.
Many good beekeepers in the United
States receive good living from their
bees and have incomes equal to that
of prosperous farmer in other lines
of agriculture.
Bees should be properly housed in
good hives. Swarming should be con-
trolled, surplus room should be pro.
vided at the proper time, and in abun-
dance, and adequate protection and
care to prevent losses should be pro-
vided during the winter. .t.

and exhaustion of vitality the average
winter loss in most localities is fully

WeedS-Food, Not Waste, Produced

of the weeds interfere with the root
development of the cultivated plants.
This is thought by many to be the
principal factor involved, and undoubt-
edly it plays an important part. The
fact that weeds do harm in more ways
than has been supposed is all the more
reason why the farmer should make
strenuous efforts to subdue these in
vaders. Land that should produce 60
bushels of corn may yield no more
than 20 bushels if weeds are not kept
down by adequate cultivation, and the
net profit to the farmer is relatively
much less for the resulting poor crop
than these figures on yield show.
Another loss results from the pres
ence of weed seeds in crop seeds.
This necessitates much labor in sep.
arating or results in dockage by deal
ers if the separation is not made.
Wheat containing wild-onion bullets
is sometimes locked as much as so
no sale at all for such wheat. The
agricultural experiment station of
Minnesota estimates that in that state
alone the damage to wheat due to weed
seeds amounts to two and half mill
lion dollars yearly.
There are other causes of damage
resulting from weeds, which in some
cases are important. The harvesting
and curing Of crops are sometimes
made difficulty by the presence Of
weeds. Russian thistle, bindweed,
and Canada thistle usually are source
of great annoyance at harvest time to
the growers of small grains. Again,
some weeds harbor fungi and insects
which attack nearby crops; the club
root of cabbage is fostered on the
wild-mustard tribe Of weeds, and the
Colorado potato beetle lives also on
nightshade and henbane. Furthermore,
some weeds are poisonous or otherwise
injurious to man, live stock, or live-
stock products. Poison ivy, sumac,
jimson weed, and the seeds of corn
cookie are poisonous to man; wild
onion and bitter-weed spoil dairy prod
ucts; cOwbane, water parsnip and loco
weed are poisonous to stock; and the
barbed seeds of squirreltail grass and
procupine grass penetrate the noses
and mouths of live stock, causing pain
full sores.
It is difficult to estimate the damage
of weeds, but it is probable that they
cost the American farmer several hum
dred million dollars every year.

prepared by the United States Depart

The full reason why weeds reduce
yields is not definitely known 1t is
well recognized that weeds deprive
crops of moisture, plant food, and sum
light, and by these means cause de-
creased yields. Experiments have
shown, however. that even where
there is supply of moisture and plant
food sufficient for the needs of both
the weeds and the crop, weeds still ex-

due in part to the wood roots giving

Most fat people would like to en-

experiences with starva-
ton dieting. drastic drugging and
tiresome exercising, most Of those
burdened with surplus weight give
up hope OF ever finding relief.
At last a home treatment has been
evolved. which is so simple that some
may doubt its efficacy for thar rea-
son alone. But don't pass judgment
until you know more.
A very easy requirement OF this
unique system OF fat reduction is
that you take ten deep breaths each
morning and evening in the open air
or standing by an open window. Take
one oil of korein capsule after each
meal and before retiring at night;
also follow the other simple direc-
lions that come with the capsules.

noticeable reduction in a very few
days. It's consistent use should
