powdered with sodium fluride before

The hen is also chief care-taker.
She is not infallible in wisdom and
might lead the chicks through wet
grass, or too far afield. before they
are equal to the task. Keep her
in a dry. well ventilated, or open
coop for q day or two and she will
make few mistakes. If you keep her
cooped up too long she will over-feed
the chicks, il you put the feed In
reach. Feed lightly until she is at lib
erty to run, After that you can feed
without stint. She will not stay In one
place long enough to let the chicks
over-eat.
II you want to raise your chicks
economically, set two hens on the
same date. When the chicks are
Matched give them all to the best hen.
A nervous mother is not good for
chicks. Place the other hen in open
coop for day or two. or put her back
in the hen house. and in short time
she will be back laying. Her physical

to laying sooner than a phlegmatic

All chicks, even those raised on

VALUE OF BEES IN ORCHARDS.

1t has taken a long time for some
to learn the value bees
are in orchards during the blossomins
period. But they are seeing to 1t that
bees are placed among the poisoning
trees for two or three weeks. and then
moved away, so as to be at safe dist.
ance while applying the deadly sprays
1t is to be hoped that very soon
a successful repellant may be found
that can be added to the spray mater
ial, watch shall be so obnoxious to
the bees that they will refrain from
touching the poisonous sprays. Sew
eral repellants have been announced
but so far their use has not become
general. Doubtless there will soon be
laws enacted, and then enforced
which will protect the bees that are
so necessary to the more perfect poll
enization of the fruit blossoms, which
thus insures a better crop of fruit.
In the Spokane valley, with its
nearly 5000 acres of orchards. one
orchardist the past season rented 100
colonies Of bees for the blossoming
period. paying $500 per colony for
their use. This man mas charge of over
800 acres of orchard The bees were
brought in by beekeeper nearly 40
miles away. Immediately after their
pollenizing work was done. he took
the bees home.
And as the result Of the work of
these bees, Mr.. Orchardist reports
that they secured almost double the
size Of crop OF apples this year; the
June drop was much less than usual;
and the apples were much finer than
ever in many ways.
So 1t does pay to have bees in the
orchard during the blossoming time,
and it pays big.
1t scarcely seems believable that
only few years ago fruit growers
were opposing the keeping OF bees
near them, and some even went so far
as to say they didn't care If the poison
did kill the bees. So it is very encour-
aging to know that the blind are be-
ginning to see the light. and that ig
nOrance is giving place to wisdom.
IBeekeepers and fruitgrowers should
ALWAYS be on the most friendly terms
for their interests are mutual 1t Is
simply another illustration where CO.
operation SHOULD take the place of an
agonism-where the immense value
of bees as pOllenizers is completely
proven.-YOrk's Bees and Honey.

leaky radiator and the radiator that
sounds like a strike in a boiler fac
tory must go. The research CON-
mittee of the National Association OF
Building Owners and Managers de-
clares it has discovered means OF
saving thousands Of tons of coal a
year by preventing wastage of steam.
The committee has invented a
stethoscopc. 1t works quite like the
one the doctor uses when he tests
your lungs or your heart. The escape
OF steam in the radiator traps can be
gagged the way the doctor finds out
about malfunctioning heart. The
stethoscope is placed against the
radiator trap and the operator listens
to the music of the steam. Whether
it murmurs, gurgles, or pounds. the
radiator trap doctor knows immedl-
ately what the matter is by using
his stethoscope, it is claimed.

work was headed by Col. Gordon

u. S. Biggest Alumni
Will Be Trainers

Chicago, July 25-(A. P)-The
ground work for an Alumni Society
that bids fair to be the largest in the
United States in the course of time,
Is being laid by those who are orga-
nizing and preparing to conduct the
Citizens Military Training Camps in
the various states this year.
The announcement Of the Alumni
Societys organization says:
"The men who attended the first
voluntary camps in 1913, 1914, 1915
and 1916 joined in forming the Mill
tary Training Camps Associa ton of
the United States, and this Is the real
Alumni society of all who believe in
the 'Plattsburg I Idea of General
Leonard Wood, and who have been
trained in the citizens camp.
This year the men in each camp
are invited to group themselves as a
part Of the nationwide organization,
to be known as the Citizens Military
Training Camps Alumni.
I'm order to make this effective the
candidates from each country will
select their own captain. These, in
turn, will select their own state cap
tain and these state captains will, In
turn, select a corps area captain"
Charters will be issued to each
county company, but the real organ
ization of the Alumni body will take
place at the camps during this sum-
mer.
