PLENTY OF PROFIT FROM GOOD
FOWLS.

The story of Reuben Lowe of North
Shapleigh. Me. illustrates the possible
profits from poultry keeping where
careful management is practi3cd.
During 1918 this poutryman, who de-
votes only part Of his time to chicken
raising, kept $50 birds, which paid
him preht over feed cost of more
than $1,000. equivalent to 81 a bird.
Included irsthis amount are the sales
of Il few eggs for Matching, about
thirty cockerel sold for breeding pur-
poses at $3.50 to SIS each, as we'll as
the market eggs, which were disposed
of in large quantity. Mr.. Lowe keeps
White Wyandottes of a strain that
wins in the show ring when judged
according TO either the standard of
perfection or utility standard.
One pen of twenty pullets owned by
this Maine poultry raiser produced
eggs as follows: November, 1918, AIS;
December. 1918. 41S; January, 1919,
$50; February, 1919, 32G; March, 1919.
456; a total of 1898 eggs, averaging
1866 eggs per bird in five months.
1t pays to keep poultry of this kind.
and growers everywhere are coming
TO realize that there is more money
in keeping better fowl and feeding
them properly balanced rations than
in wasting time with inferior birds.

UNSAFE CANNING COMPOUND.

tables than any of the so-called can

Some may think that the amount of

$3.50 WHEAT REPEAL.

1t is reported that farmers want the
law fixing the price OF wheat at s2.32
repealed. as the millers are charging a
price for -four out of proportion to the
cost of wheat.
Who the farmers are wanting the
law repealed is not stated. nor is II
mentioned how their demands were
made known to Congress.
The ways OF profiteers and politi-
clans are so sly and clever these days
that any demand for legislation or re-
peal of laws can be viewed with sus-
p!cion until the fact is established that
the demands are really honest and not
for an Interior purpose, really for the
benefit of some who cannot be discov-

Some farmers suspect that possibly
the millers themselves are behind the
demand for the repeal of the $2.32

UNFAIR FLORISTS.

The florists Of the United States

ropularizing the use of cut flowers.
The men who grow the flowers are
contributing to the fund.
Some wholesale florists are pushing
THO sale of artificial flowers and recon-
mend that retail florists carry them in
stock Some retail florists do handle
the artificial product and sell, not only
the flowers, but wreaths and various
baskets and designs made up exclu-
sively of artificial flowers. This seems
hardly fair TO the many growers who
have been asked TO and who have con-
tributed literally to the fund for ad-

ufacturers of artificial flowers who
have not contributed a penny to the
fund work In their artificial product
to take the benefit of the advertising
the flower growers are paying for and
it seems dishonest on the part of the
retail florist to permit il.
The place for artificial flowers Is in
the millinery stores and those who
sell them are milliners, not florists.

HOW TO KILL ROSE BUGS.

There are many rose lovers among
the fungi and Insects an we'll as
among human beings. and Of these the
common rose chafer is one of the
most persistent and omnipresent. I
have noticed in my own little garden
that this insect loves white flowers.
so I have planted Fru Karl Druschki
In different places to draw II away
from the other roses. Tho older
flowers become filed with the beetles
and are easily removed and thrown
into kerosene. This method OF trap
ping was formerly employed against
the elm leaf beetle. the English field
elm being more attractive to the in
sects than our native species.
The mountain ash Spirna, Schizon-
etus sorblfolius. from northern Asia, is
an excellent trap plant" for rose
bugs, so far as my own experience
goes, and I think rose growers would
do we'll TO plant IL in quantity rear
their gardens. 1t grows in dense
thickets from four . six feet high
and spreads rapidly. being very hardy
and without any enemies. About the
middle of June, just as the rose bugs
begin to bloom, il sends up feathery
clusters OF dazzling Wilderness about
foot long and half a foot in diam
eter, in which the bugs collect in
large numbers. 1t is then a simple
matter TO remove these clusters with
their load OF bugs and dip Them In

trample them under foot-or perhaps

SWARMS VS.. HONEY.

Swarming is Incompatible with
the largest honey production. When
swarming occurs the working force
is divided and the increase in number
of colonies is paid for in a smaller
crop of honey secured.
Bees store honey much more will
ingly in broad deep combs than they
do in the little square or oblong pound
section boxes, and for this reason
nearly twice the amount OF honey can
be secured from colonies run for ex-
tracted honey than from those run
for comb honey, according to Lloyd
r. Watson, bee specialist Of the Con-
necticut Agricultural College. On ac-
count of this aversion of the bees to
section boxes they have to be forced
or crowded in the hive to induce them
| to enter the sections, but unfor-
tunately this crowding Of the bees Is
directly conducive Of swarming.
When working for comb honey one
super is enough to put on at n time
but when working for extracted honey
two or three supers may be added at
once. and the empty space at the top
of the hive combined with a wide en-
trance at the bottom affords ventila-
ton which stimulates the bees to in
creased activity. If weak colonies are
given too much super room at once
they may Sulk.
1t is an established fact that young
queens are less prone to swarm than
old ones. For this reason all queens
except breeding queens should he
superseded every year. Hives should
never be exposed to the direct heat of
the sun, but should be shaded BY
! trees. arbOrs or sheds.
