Wild Quail Is Tanned
BV Sioux CITY Girl

Wild quail are SO hard to tame that
the tas kis considered almost impos-
sible, but Helen Subway, of Sioux
City, Iowa, has a pet quail that is as
much at home in the house as the cat
or the dog.
Helen, who is just fifteen years old,
brought the quail home about six
months ago, and it was very wild
indeed. BY persistent efforts, how
ever, the child succeeded in making a
friend of the shy little bird, which
now answers readily to her name,
Maggie"
At first Maggie lived outdoors, but
as winter approached she was
brought indoors and transferred to
the basement Whereupon she de-
veloped Temperament" evidently
feeling sighted because she was rele-
gated to a basement existence. To
quiet her the family let Helen bring
Maggie upstairs, and she Immediate
ly became soothed in plumage and
feelings.

SAVE ALL THE GRATN

Under average CONDITIONS tne loss
of grain during harvest is far great
er than is generally supposed by the
average farmer. Poor work on the
part of the binder, shattering during
shocking and hauling, faulty work Of
the separator and minor losses at
the machine result in a waste of mil
lions Of bushels every year. With
a guaranteed price every farmer is
offered an incentive to reduce such
losses to a minimum this season. See
that the binder is in good working
order handle the bundles carefully,
using a tight floor or canvas on the
wagon in hauling. and a demand by
the farmer that the separator do eff
ficient work will save many dollars
worth of grain as we'll as add to the
pocketbOOk of the farmer.

POLISH CHARACTE RTSTTCS
AND EVENTS OF INTEREST

Poland is of the west. Russian
rule has never been able to change
that fact But it is more apparent
in the activities of the people since
the setting up of the new Polish gov
eminent than it was before.
The influence of Italian art and
architecture, dating back to the
thirteenth century, is evident in
many of the old houses of Warsaw.
Polish kings had a fondness for
Italian architects and painters.
The massive Greek church which
Russia built on the highest point in
Warsaw is to be torn down. 1t
clashes with the graceful lines of the
old Polish palaces.
In their daily life the Polish much
resemble the English. Most of the
educated classes speak English.
Warsaw has it's Little Theater in
which the plays of Shaw and GALS

Eookkaening Notes

Bookkeeping Notes
The principal complaint reaching
3 the beekeeping specialist at this
4 time is in reference to the excessive
swarming. Swarming is mainly due
! to a crowded condition of the hive,
and when the bees are in box gums
there is nothing one can do except
q to let them swarm and hive them ac-
cording to any one of the old ana
Anticipated methods. The chief work
of the beekeeping specialist curing
the entire spring has consisted in
helping people to transfer from box
gums to frame hives. One OF the
agents wrote, Great has been the
destruction of box gums last week.
When they are in box hives the
bees cannot be examined, space can
not be increased, foundation cannot
4 be given, comb cannot be straight
q ened. they cannot be requeened, they
u cannot be ventilated and honey can
nots.be taken in any profitable way.
Beekeepers are, therefore, urged to
4 continue as rapidly as possible the
4 transferring from the box gums to
y the ten-frame hives. The ten-frame
y hives may be purchased. while some
prefer to make them out of we'll
81 Seasoned lumber. When these hives
are made it must not be forgotten
4 that they should be the standard
4 ten-frame dimensions both in the
brood chamber and in the super,
so that in the future any hive body
+ and any frame may be interch2nged
II with every other hive body or by
measuring a standard ten-frame hive
d in your neighborhood or by writing
II to the extension service for dimen-
Il sions.
Get ready for the :equeening cam
Il paign in July. We are going to
convert our black or Italian half
breeds into a good Italian colony to
produce a strong colony for winter
q ing and at the same time furnish
n a young breed virile for the spring
& drive.
Remember, it takes population in
n the colonies to gather the honey
and this is what is lacking in most
u cases because of the poor hive con-
d d1tiens and insufficient queen power.
