WINTERING BEES

one of the most important prob
lens confronting the beekeeper of
Indiana is that of getting the bees
through the winter and spring
months with the minimum cost in
honey and bee vitality. is the state
ment of Edwin G. Baldwin. Of the
Entomology division of the Purdue
extension department Good winter
ing not only means strong colonies
in time for early honey flows. but
also is the greatest protection against
the ravages of European foul

RECENT RAINS
AID IN SEEDING
Report of State Weather
Observer Shows Condition
OF Fall Crops.

A summary OF crop and weather
conditions in Indiana for the last
week is given By j. II. Arlington,
state weather observer. as follows:
Warm weather prevailed during
most of the week, temperatures av-
eraging about 6 degrees above the
normal Sunshine was below nor
NAL. but the cloudiness kept night
temperatures well above those usual
for the season. Showers were fire.
quent and moderate TO heavy, and
extended rains on Saturday and Sun
day served to break the drought in
most localities, placing the soil in
.Xceilent condition for blowing and
seeding. Very little wheat has vet
been sOwn in any part of the state.
Practically all of the corn crop, ex-
cept q few late fields. is now safe
from frost, and cutting and silo fill
ing is general.
Meadows. potatoes. sorghum, buck
wheat tobacco and truck are fair to
poor. being much affected by the
prevailing dry weather of the sea
son. but the rains of the week will
materially help pasture lands and
late potatoes, tomatoes and truck. A
fourth cutting of alfalfa. was made
on loWlandS in the southwestern Sec
ton, and the crop was of good quail
ity, but rather short. Glover. espe-
cially that on bottom lands, is fair,
but a considerable amount of that
on high ground has been burned out
Summary of Country
A summary for the entire coun-
try is given by the United States
department Of agriculture, as fol-
lows: Warm weather in most dis
tricts was favorable for the rapid
maturing of crops.
Lack of rain in southeastern and
most northwestern sections was det-
rimental. but general moderate to
copiOus falls were beneficial to pas
lures meadows and late crops in
central sections. and greatly inn
proved soil conditions for seeding
throughout practically all the winter
wheat belt. Preparation of ground
and winter wheat seeding. which pre-
viouslv had been delayed by very
dry soil, can now make rapid prog
ress with good conditions for ger
mination. Corn is mostly mature
and a great part of the crop is now
safe from frost. although some on
lowlands in the central districts will
require ten days longer. Good prog
ress was made in harvesting corn,
potatoes and fruit and in thrash
ing grain in late districts

corn in the racks
This drying rack can be taken
down after the corn is dry and does
not require any storage room dur
ing the summer months other than
a place TO pile the 1 boards and
a pile for the lath. In case more
than one rack is required it is q
very simple matter TO nail the lath
from one upright on one rack TO an
upright on another and thus secure
both from falling. Another good fea-
ture is that the lath are movable.
one row OF corn can be placed on
the bottom lath before putting the
other Iath in place. Thus the diff

After the seed corn is selected
from the field the problem of dry
ing it presents itself. Storage of
fall selected seed is just as essential
as the selection itself. Good venti
lation at ordinary temperature is
absolutely necessary in order TO OBJ
tain a good termination test in the
spring.
one Of the most practical methods
is illustrated by the above cut. This
can be made by any farmer and is
very efficient. This method consists
of two, one by five inch boards with
a cross piece at the bottom and top
and nails driven approximately three
10 five inches apart on both sides of
the one by five boards. Ordinary
lath are then laid on these nails and
the ear placed across the two lath
as shown in the diagram. a wire
band Is used in the center of each
set Of lath thus pulling them toward
the l boards and preventing any
turning of the lath. Where mice
are bad strip of tin or some metal

are placed in the center Of the win
ter next by the bees and are con-
sumed first. r0orty-five pounds is the
least amount that should be allowed
for winter packed colonies while
from 80 to 3j pounds should suffice
for colonies packed in the cellar.
The good beekeeper will see that no
colony has less than fifteen pounds
of honey during any time OF the
spring.
Methods OF Wintcring
There are two we'll known meth
DDS Of wintering bees according to
Mr.. Baldwin. They are: In cellars
or special repositories and protec-
ton on the summer stands. The
essential factors in either one of
these methods are that the bees have
plenty of good stores; that they have
protection from wind and low tenn
peratures and that they have room
for the rearing of the brood at the
proper time in the spring. In addi-
ton. il is essential that the colonies
be strong with young bees that were
reared after the middle of August.
1t is poor beekeepins 10 try to win

As outlined by Mr.. Baldwin. there
are four essentials to good winter
that musJ not be overlooked. They
are:

Preparation on Farm May Be

Much may be done 70 improve the
country branch OF the hide and skin
industry BY marketing the hides and

avoiding many OF tho proflt-absorb-
Ing intermediary agencies through

best possible quality.
Preparation for Market
The preparation Of hides and skins
for market Is OF great importance. as
where they are not properly prepar-
ed and shipped they are subject 10
great deterioration. The farmer who
las thoroughly cured a number OF
hides and skins BY the green salt
ing method commonly followed
should place them over some elevat-
ed object. such as a barrel They
should remain there over night. 10
drain free OF excess moisture; after
which the surplus salt should be
swept of or removed By thoroughly
shaking the hides. If the hides are
handled in this manner. and thor
oughly cured before being shipped.
the shrinkage should be relatively
small when they are finally weighed
at the hide house IF the hides are
not thoroughly cured and if they
have been in salt only a day or two
before shipping. do not remove any
Of the salt, as the hides may spoil.
Folding The Hides.
As a rule hides are folded so that
the hair side is out. IL Is essential
TO fold III the head and neck on the
body OF the hide, flesh surfaces to-
gether. and to turn in the tail in a
similar manner. Then a narrow fold
on each side should be made by
throwing back the body edges and
legs upon the body OF the hide. flesh
surfaces together. keepinI the lines
OF the folds parallel The legs should
then be folded back and these lap
ped with the hair surfaces together,
bringing the break OF each fold near
the middle line OF the back. The
folds should then be completed by
bringing together the two breaks of
the folds. with the middle line of the
back as the main fold. in this way
making one long rectangular bundle.
The butt end OF the folded hide
should then be thrown forward
about four-fifths Of the distance 10
the neck fold. whereupOn the for
ward portion Of the bottom lap
should be folded back on top OF the
first fold. bringing the break Of the
rear fold even with that of the fold
just made.
Each hide should be bundled sep
arately and tied securely. about
feet OF strong cord being necessary

manner as cattle hides. However.
when more than one Is TO be shipped
two folded calfskins should be placed
together and tied into one humble
instead OF tying each one separately.
