MES from disease is probably 5000

are discouraged by the disease situa-
ton. This source Of loss is therefore II
serious one.

makes preparation 10 swarm, thus III
Vidinr itself into two colonies. While
this instinct Is advantageous 10 wild
bees, IL results In n reduction In the
honey crop II the division occurs, as II
usually does, Just before or during the
time when nectar Is especially album
dant. Rarely can swarmlng be entire
ly prevented, even with the best of
care, but the proper measure Of bee
keepers skill ls 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. II Is an unusually good locality
In which nectar Is abundant all sum
mer and this room must he given ut
just the right time. This necessitates
watchful study Of the neciar-produc-
ing flowers. II Is quite common prac-
tce for beekeepers TO put on one
super" for the storage Of surplus
honey and TO walt until this Is entirely
filled before giving more space. This
results in the loss Of much honey from
lack Of storage space. and often too
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 n failure TO provide this
room on time and In the proper way
often may reduce the crop TO one-third.

FERTILIZERS FOR GOOD CROP
Wastes Obtained In Utilization Of All
Plant Products May Be Made
Use OF.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Since fertilizers are used as food
for plants il will follow that plants,
and particularly certain parts of
plants. may serve as fertilizers for
new crop. This fact has long been
recognised, and the wastes obtained in
the utilization of all plant products
may therefore he disposed Of for fer
tiliZer use. At one time plant
waste known as cottOnseed meal, OBJ
tanned in the manufacture Of cotton
seed oil, constitute the largest single
source of heterogeneous material used
in fertilizers, and the quantity still
used for this purpose is In excess Of
100000 tons annually. Plant wastes
of this kind, together with certain ami
nal wastes, as dried blood, are now
being used, however more and more
as feed for animals: hut even In the
utilization of organic wastes fertiliz-
ers will no doubt still always con-
sumo the greater number Of products.
for all may be used for FERTILIZER man
ufacture, but all are not suited as
food for animals. A case of this kind
Is seen in the recovery Of potash as
by-product in the manufacture of nlco-
tine from tobacco waste. In this
there is also furnished another illus
tration of the use as a fertilizer Of a
waste product recovered in the utiliz-
alton Of waste.
Summing up, II may be stated that
Industrial wastes furnished about
40 per cent OF the potash, 8 per cent
of the phosphOrlc acid, and So per
cent of the nitrogen used in this coun-
try In 1916.
The potash was obtained from such
wastes as tobacco stems, cottonseedl
hollis. hardwood ashes. washings. blast
furnace fiue dust. cement fue dust,
and sugar residues; the phosphoric
acid was furnished by such materials
as bones. shells. fish scrap. and basic
Stag. and the nitrogen was obtained
from wastes In the manufacture Of
castor. linseed. and fish oils from ami
NAL wastes, as blood. hair. horns.
hoofs. and hides. from Ieathsr and
wool wastes. and from coke. 1Rn1klss
