gions for part of its honey supply.
There is not the local prejudice to dark
honey which exists in the clover re-
giOn and in the West. All these fac
tors taken together make the region
one of promise. The enormous num-
Der of colonies of bees in this region
is pointed to as proof of the great
nectar resources, and if these colonies
are given proper care vast quantities
of honey can be produced.
The abandonment Of the gums"
and bOx-hives and the adoption of
modern equipment, together with prac-
tees more suited to the region, is ad-
vised. The region, it is said, needs
more men engaged in beekeeping on
a commercial scale as a chief or only
occupation. The peculiarities of the
region, however, are such as to de-
mand a close study of the business.
Careless beekeeping, it is pointed out,
is entirely Improbable, especially in
places where the main honey flow
comes so soon after the last killing
frost of the spring.

cusses methods for carrying on the
business successfully, may be had free

SCIENCE ON FARM

Canadian Tillers of the Soil Have
Proved That Old Days of Hap
hazard Methods Have Gone.

Agriculture in Canada has the sta
tus of profession which both its high
standard of operation and the prime
place 1t occupies in national life justi-
~. The days when land was casually
filed on and farmed without any in
telligent understanding of agricultural
processes are going with the dwindling
availability of the land, and rapidly
passing is the epoch of the destruc-
ton of soil values, and the abandon
ment of farms which have been rem
dered unproductive Clearer and clear
er has become the realization that
farming is specialized profession re-
curing special training, and in the
place of this spoliation there is an
Intelligent system Of crop rotation,
preservation of the virtue of the land,
a discovery of the nobility of the
farmers calling and a determination
to secure and achieve the hest pos
sihle in everything.
The Education of the Farmer.
Agricultural colleges, experimental
farms, government literature, railway
propaganda, all in an appreciation of
the national benefits which accrue,
contribute to the education Of the
farmer who if he starts out in igno-
rance. speedily discovers the futility

STARVE MITES IN HEN HOUSE
In Tests Made Parasites Were Still
Alive After 113 Days in Aban-
doned Building.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
1t takes several months to starve the
mites in an infested chicken house af-
ter the poultry has been removed. In
test made by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture some mites
were still alive after 113 days in an
abandoned hen house. The nests in
dictated, too, that the mites live longer
in damp locations than in very dry
conditions, which accounts, in part at
least, for the idea that mites are worse
In Camp, badly ventilated houses.
The only way to get rid of these
pests is to break up their hiding
places. Dust baths will not control
them. Roosts should be taken down,
and all unnecessary boards removed.
Il badly infested houses the mites are
- be found everywhere, including the
loof. For small coops hand atomizer
will do for applying insecticides such
VS. sprays, but for larger houses a
bucket pump, knapsack sprayer, or
larrel pump is desirable. A rather
coarse spray should be applied from
Ill angles, and driven thoroughly into
Ill the cracks. The floor also should be
treated, as many mites fall to the floor

with any other material, and the treat

strongly advised.
Crude petroleum, while not so eff

1t has been found that one spray

often will completely eradicate the

to make a second application in d

this state. 1t Is only Of comparatively
recent years that farming in Canada
has become the comprehensive and ex-
haustive study it is and it's tenets
been so widely absorbed, and older
farmers who have followed haphazard
methods or systems scientifically I'M
sound are gradually forced from neces-
sity into an intelligent study and APP
plication of their profession.
This brings US to the city man who
is anxious to leave his old life for the
greater freedom of the country and
take a farm for himself, and, the fore
going holding good, he need not follow
far behind the older farmer If he take
up the study of his work seriously,
bring energy and intelligence to bear
upon a following out of the systems
Of experienced and successful agricul-
turistS, and utilize the results of the
expert investigation and research the
Dominion places at his disposal. The
whole country is working for him and
the novice has almost an equal op-
portunlty with the farmer of life
time.
A census of Canadian farmers would
probably show that fully one-half are
not farmers sons and were not
brought up to the life of the farm. Yet
none would criticize Canada's farmers

OPPORTUNITIES FOR
KEEPING HONEY BEE
Nectar Going to Waste in Tulip
Tree Regions.
No Question but That Area May Fur
nish Many Times More Product
Than at Present-Buletin
Discusses Methods

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
With the tons and tons of nectar
going to waste every year in the tulip
tree region of the United States be-
cause the colonies of bees are not
strong enough to get the full amount
of surplus, there is no question that
this area may furnish many times
more honey than it does at present.
This opinion is expressed by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture in
Farmers Bulletin 1929, Bookkeeping
in the Tulip-Tree Region" prepared
by E. F. Phillips and George S. De
muth, and now available for diStriDu-
ton.
The tulip tree is occasionally found
as far north as Vermont and Rhode
Island, and west to Michigan, Arkan-
SaS and Louisiana. On the outer lin
its of its distribution it is not album
dant. 1t is more plentiful on the
south shore of Lake Erie and rare
west of the Mississippi river, except
in northeastern Arkansas and south
eastern Missouri. The trees are more
abundant and larger in the south
central part of its range, especially in
Tennessee, Kentucky, the western
part of the Caro'inas, and in the Ohio
river basin. 1t is common throughout
the Piedmont plateau of Maryland and
Virginia.
That this honey can be marketed at
a profit is attested by the fact that
this section now sends to outside re-

Five Poultry Factors

There are five major factors
in profitable poultry production,
says y. +. Chapman poultry spe-
cialist at University farm
breeding, feeding, housing, man
agcmcnt and care. These are
the essentials; combined they
will put the poultry business on
a practical business basis" he
says. "a start can be made
with Matching eggs, day-old
chicks or a few head Of breeding
stock of high production. The
surest way to success is to grow
into the poultry business"

Fig. 2-showing a Good Method of
Making Foundation and Floor of
New EuidIinq Ratproof.

Der piles should be elevated at least
IS inches from the ground, board walks
should be replaced by concrete and
garbage should be kept in concrete or
metal containers having tight-ftting
tops There should not be scrap of
food left where rats can get it,
Concrete Mixture.
For foundation work such as l have
mentioned a 1-2R-4 mixture of con-
crete is recommended. This means one
sack of portland cement to 21a cubic
feet of sand and 4 cubic feet of peb-
bleS or broken stone. AS is absolute
ly necessary in all concrete work, the
sand and pebbles should be free from
loan and trash and the water used
should be fit for drinking purposes.

AVOID CROWDING OF CHICKS
Ages, but Especially With Very
Little Fellows.

Avoid Overcrowding. 1t Is bad
practice with fowls Of all ages, but
especially with youngsters. Chicks
with mother hens or in brooders often
are crowded at night. When they get
out in the morning most of them take
cold and this often develops into
roup, which is usually fatal in the
case of young chicks.

LAYING HENS IN FARM FLOCK
Most Efficient Number Is Between
$50 and 500, Say Ohio
Poultry Experts.

At least $50 laying hens should
constitute the farm flock, say poultry
experts at the Ohio experiment sta
ton. The most efficient flock is be-
tween $50 and 500. The flock con-
tanning fewer than $50 hens is not
efficient, while flOcks of more than
500, though perhaps too large for the
general farmer may be better adapt
ed to those specializing fruit and poul-
try farms.

Only enough water should be added to
make the mixture of quaky and jelly
like consistency. Floors Of concrete
should not be less than 4 inches thick
They may either be placed directly on
the ground or on a cinder base, but al
ways be sure the soil Is well drained
For floors, a concrete mixture of one
sack Of portland cement, = cubic feet
of sand and 3 cubic feet Of gravel or
stone is recommended.
Along with ratproof buildings, start
a campaign for killing rats, If the
ground is undermined with holes it is
possible to drive them into the open or
to suffocate them by connecting the
system Of holes with the exhaust pipe
OF an automobile.

tomatoes are to be trellised similar
to grapes, secure posts and two wires
for each row.

and this can only be done by building
ratproof buildings or ratproofing such
structures as are already built. The
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture says that rats and mice destroy
crops and property valued at more
than $20O,0O0O0O yearly. They carry
bubonic plague and other fatal dis
eases. one pair of rats at the end of
three years will be the ancestors of IS
generations amounting to 359,7O9,4S2
individuals.
