Wintering Bees Offers
Quite Serious Problem

Bees require very little work and
could be probably kept on many more
farms than is now the case. over
the northern half of the cornbelt, how
ever, wlntering bees offers quite
problem. Studies made in Wisconsin
have divided winter care into three
periods, the first extending from Sep
TENDER to November 20; the second
from November 20 to March 81, and
the third from March 81 until May 10.
In the first period make sure that
each colony has queen not more
than two years old, whose maximum
egg-laying period has not been reached.
Provide plenty of stores and allow the
bees to make their own brood nest.
Feeding should be done before cold
nights prevail. Hives must be pro-
tected from prevailing winds.
Do not disturb bees during the sec
ond period. The cellar should be dark
and have temperature Of forty-fve
to City degrees. Excessive ventila-
tlon is not desirable.
During the third period the bees are
placed outdoors where they are pro-
tected from the wind This Is impor-
tant. Provide every colony with some
outside covering as soon as they are
placed on their stands. Sufficient
stores must be given. Very strong
colonies need seventy-five to one hun
bred pounds of stores in the spring.
which the beekeeper must supply II
the bees cannot get It In the field. Give
forty to fifty pounds as a rule. Plenty
Of broodlng room must be furnished
or early swarming is sure TO result.
You must choose between surplus or
Increase.

Cattle Lice Are Very
Expensive as Boarders
Coal Tar Dips and Sprays
Used With Success.

Why spend money on valuable cat
tie feed to nourish iice7
During this season OF the year, ac-
eordlng to Prof. J. W. Bartlett. an
iinui husbnndman OF the New Jersey
Agricultural college. cattle are often
affected with lice, young stock being
most susceptible, though milk cows
are not exempt. The so-called BLUE
Louise" is the one commonly found.
Being biood-sucklng and not biting
insect, Il not only binders growth and
prevents thrlftlness, but causes q
mango and loss Of hair.
At such a time as this Il is very ex-
penslve to. waste any feed. and when
one considers the amount Of food ma
terial tina. these insects must consume
through the blood, Il Is easily seen how
greatly they increase the cost Of milk
production.
Coal-tar dips and sprays may be
used with success, but where there are
not too many animals affected, kero-
sene and lard mixed according to the
following formula viii serve the pur-
pose.
Mix half pint Of kerosene warmed
in hot water with one pound Of melted
lard and apply along the animals back
and neck. II the hair is long the back
Of the animal should be clipped.
Another means Of Graduating lice
is by the Kentueky-BIack Leaf 40
method. The following formula Is
recommended:
pint Black Leaf 40 to SO gallons Of
water. or Il pint Black Leaf 20 to ~
gallons OF water. or x pint Black Leaf
20 to 81 gallons OF water.
Apply with brush along back and
neck.

Clipping Stubble Fields
for Keeping Down Weeds

Many farmers find clipping oats and
wheat stubble a good practice for
keeping down weeds. Early clipping
prevents the weeds from getting a
start and smothering out the young
grass and clover and later clipping
win prevent any weeds that are left
from going to seed and will tend to
thicken the stand of grass.
Such ANIMALS as ragweeds are propa-
gated from the seed alone and II per-
mItted to stand will produce an i'm
mense amount Of seed which will
grow after lying buried in the soil for
several years.
It is often found profitable to NOV
weedy pastures, fence rows and I'M
cultivated orchards to check the
growth and spread of weeds.

Water Is of Importance
in Production of Eggs

A standard dozen of eggs weighs a
pound and half. About two-thirds Of
that weight is water. Maybe 1t Is not
unfair to say that It takes more water
than 1t does feed to produce dozen
eggs. This much is eertain-a flock
Of hens In good production will stop
more quickly II you take away the
water than If you TAKE away the feed.
A lot Of hens do not lay enough eggs
simply because they do not get all
the water they ought to drink II
takes lot Of It and during cold
weather 1t pays to warm the water to
take the chill from It.--Dr. L. e. Card.

ONE LEADER FOR
j. s. MASONRY.
PROPOSED
Grand Lodges to Investigate
Possibility Suggested by
Secretary Davis.

Placing the entire Masonic craft
in the United States under one lead
ership was advocated by Secretary
Of Labor James j. Davis, in an adj
dress before grand masters of the
grand lodges from almost every
State, at their get-together meeting
yesterday at the House Of the Tenn
Pile.
The grand masters, it was indi-
Gated, will Immediately begin an in
vestigation to determine the FEAST
bility of the suggestion.
The meeting, which will be an an
nual gathering in the future, was
called by Mark F. Finley, grand
master of the District Grand Lodge.
Plans for promoting harmonious ac-
ton between all the lodges were
discussed. Grand Master Finley was
elected chairman Of the conference
and A. w. Johnson, secretary of
the District Grand Lodge, secretary.
The grand masters met for lunch
con at the House of the Temple and
went for an automobile sightseeing
trip during the afternoon. An in
formal banquet in their honor was
held at the Temple last night.
