BEE KEEPING Is
PROFITABLE INDUSTRY
EVERY FARMER Is ADVISED TO
KEEP ONE OR MORE HIVES FOR
HOME SUPPLY OF HONEY.
EXPENSE is NOT GREAT
A Certain Amount of Honey Goes To
Waste In Every Locality Where
Bees Are Not Kept.

Very few people in Louisiana seem
to know that one of the most proflta-
BILE investments that can be made in
the agricultural line Is in beekeeping.
yet this is fact" says E. c. Davis,
specialist in beekeeping. Extension d.
vision. Louisiana State University.
More money has been made to the
square foot from bees this past sea.
son than from any other investment
in the state. The initial expense of
an apiary covers the whole cost for
the next ten to twenty years, except
the care Of It. After the first year all
is profit, as the bees gather the
honey from wild flowers growing in
the neighborhood. at a distance any
where from one to three miles from
your home.
There is certain amount Of honey
going to waste In every locality, be
cause there are no bees to gather it.
l would advise every farmer to get
one or more hives Of bees and there
by conserve this food for his home
use. 1t will take the place in almost
every case where sugar is used, and
be an immense saving to his house
hold, besides giving him delicious
and healthful food"

make THE WASTE
Land PRODUCE FOOD
Ample Time To Drain Waste places
Before the Opening OF the
Spring Work.

On nearly every Louisiana farm
there Is some land that Is either not
used at all or Is used in such a way
as to produce very little. On many
farms there are patches of low ground
which cannot be titled because they
are too wet. Usually when drained
these wet areas are the richest on
the farm.
Just at present, when the cry of the
world is for food and more food, tho
product Of these idle acres Is needed.
This is an excellent time to put them
into use. Small patches of wet land
can often be drained at little ex.
pense. Between now and the OPEN
ing up of spring work there will be
ample time to do the work. Every
farmer. part OF whose farm 10 unpro-
ductive because 1t needs drainage.
should take advantage of the pres.
ent opportunity to add to his cropping
area by supplying Unnecessary drain
age. These lands will produce moro
than average farm lands. Every prod
uct will help feed the hungry.-L. 3.

SMALL FARMS REQUIRE
SOME SPECIAL LINE

The man who is going to buy and
operate small farm, say of 10 or
20 or even 40 acres, should plan to
take up some special line of farming,
such as trucking, poultry, fruit or
dairying, for Investigations show that
small farms devoted to general farm
ing rarely, If ever, give an adequate
living to the operator. Intensive
farming such as would be necessary
on a small place, requires special
knowledge and training and close at
tention to details, coupled with care
full management TO make 1t a success.
There are number of things to be
taken into consideration in taking up
an enterprise of this kind. such as
adaptation Of soil, proximity to mar
ket. demand for the product to be
sold and available supply of labor. It
is very easy for one to build air
castles and anticipate farming sue
cesses that are slow and difficult OF
realization.-L. S. U. Press Bulletin.

PREPARING HOGS
FOR SLAUGHTER
should Have No Food From "a to %
Hours Before Killing, But Should
Have Plenty Of Water.

In preparing hogs to be slaughtered
fast of twenty-four to thirty-six
hours, plenty of water, careful han,
ding and rest before slaughter are all
important in securing meat in the best
condition for use, either fresh or for
curing purposes. Food in the stomach
decompOses very rapidly after slaugh.
ter, and where the dressing is slow
the gases generated often affect the
flavor of the meat. Water should be
given freely up to the time of slaugh.
er. as it keeps the temperature nor
ual. 1t is highly important that the
animal be not excited in any way sui.
ficiently to raise the temperature of
the body. II the animal becomes heat.
ed 1t is better to allow 1t to rest over
night before killing than to risk spoil
ing the meat. 1t is also essential that
the hog be carefully handled SC as not
to bruise its body.-L. s. u. Press
Bulletin.

agent OF Rapides parish, believes thai
farmers should get together In a re-
cent circular letter addressed to his

farm problems which should be dis.
cussed at farmers meetings and tells
how cooperation in buying and sell
ing could be made profitable. People
in all other lines of business got to-
gether long ago, he says, and 1t is up
TO the farmers to do likewise. They
should hold meetings:
To discuss the shipping OF cattle
and hogs comparatively, when and
where to ship to get the best prices;
To discuss the purchase of binders
and threshers comparatively. In order
to get the best results from oat and
wheat planting:
To discuss the labor question. a

To discuss the purchase and use Of

To discuss the purchase of seed for

To discuss the preparation and cul-

COMBINING HENS TO
THE BACK YARD

A yard surrounded by a 1ve-foot
fence will, under most conditions
keep chickens at home. II the hens
show tendency TO fly over such 4
fence. the flight feathers of one wing
should be clipped. A fence made Of
woven wire is preferable to a fence
made of board or other material. A
BOARD should not be used at the top
OF a wire fence. as this gives the
hens visible place to alight and
tends to teach them to hy over. The
larger the yard which can be provid-
