5EARM<(NOTES

The Emden is a large white goose,
but not so large as the Toulouse.
Alfalfa on every farm, and a silo
with every barn, means prosperity.
A vegetable garden is an asset to
farmers who expect to live as econom-
ically as possible.
Moles are not as easily poisoned as
most other animals and trapping
seems to be about the only satisfac-
tory method.
The best way to save manure is to
apply it to the land as fast as enough
accumulates to pay for the time re-
quired to spread it.
The first SO hours after Matching,
the young goslings should not be given
anything to eat. They should be kept
as quiet as possible.
More evergreens could well be
raised on every farm. There would
be a market for surplus trees in most
communities for Christmas trees or
lawn specimens.
Watch your pigs carefully, and
when there is one off feed, take it out
and give it special attcation: AL
ways take corn away from hogs when
they are not doing well.

produce enough feed for his stock.
One never knows what drought, ex-

HANDLE BULL PROPERLY

"don'ts" in connection with ham

Don't unGerfeed him when

mature.
Don't use him too heavily be-
fore he is mature.
Don't abuse him. You can get
better results by gentle, but firm
handling.
+ Don't tease him or allow chill
dren to play with him.
Don't let him get the upper
hacd at any time.
Don't let him realize his enor-
nous strength.
Don't keep him confined. Give
him plenty of exercise.
Don't trust any bull at any
time. 1t is the gentle" bull that

SIMPLE WAY TO
TRANSFER BEES
Heddon Method Is Recommended
as One of Easiest to Re.
move Insects.
USE SHALLOW CARRYING BOX
Success Depends Upon Getting Queen
Into New Hive With Her Bees
Newly Hatched Queens May Be
Used in Other Hives,

The following method of transferring
bees from one hive or box to another
is known as the Heddon short method !;
1t is simple and practicable For it
you will need to make a shallow bee
carrying box, without cover, that will
the cover of that is removed. If your
box hives are of different size. make
box to fit the smallest and use strips
of wood to fill the open spaces when
drumming the others. This box will
resemble an ordinary super fitted with
a bottom.
When Honey Is Coming in.
Whenever honey is coming in, set
the old box hive to be emptied of it's
bees off from its stand and replace it
with the new hive fitted up with frames
and foundation. Face entrance of new
hive same way. After lightly smoking
the bees in the old box hive, remove
all or portion of its cover and invert
your carrying box over it. Now drum
upon the sides of the old hive until
nearly all of the bees have gone up into
the carrying box Take this to the new
hive on the old stand and dump the
bees in front of its entrance. You
may drum. the old hive again for more
bees. if necessary, but your success will
depend upon your getting the queen
into the new hive with her bees. I'm
less she goes with them they will not
stay. Set the old box with its remain
ing bees a little way away from its
original stand and face its entrance in
another direction from that which il
originally had. After three weeks the
brood in this old box will have Matched
