Average Yield of Honey
This Year Is Decreased

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
The average yield of honey this year
above the food requirements of the
bees is 80 pounds per colony of bees
as compared with 81 pounds least year
and with 46 pounds the average for the
period 1921, the United States De
partment of Agriculture reports. The
department reported earlier in the year
a 2 per cent decrease in numbers of
working colonies last spring, as COM
pared with the spring of 1922.
Yields in New York, Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Tennessee and North Caro-
lima are equal to or higher than the
state averages for 1892, but in most
states the yield is less than average.
Yields in Texas and in southern Cali
fornia were unusually low, the flow of
nectar from sage and other desert
plants in California being nearly a
complete failure, and the honey crop
from orange bloom being very short.
Comparatively little surplus honey
was produced this year in many sec
lions of the Ohio valley, the lower Mis-
sissippi valley and in most of the cot
ton belt. In the cotton belt consider
able loss of bees is reported to the de-
partment due to poisoning of cotton
plants in combating the boil weevil.

Vitamins Essential for
LAYING Hens in Winter

That green feeds are of great i'm
portance in the rations for laying
hens is shown by the results of an ex-
pertinent conducted by the University
of Idaho poultry farm.
A lack of vitamin fat-soluble A in
the ration was found to cause dis
ease resembling roup. The eyes be
came swollen, the throats became full
of small yellow patches, and post-mor-
tenn examinations showed a deposit of
white material resembling powder on
the liver and kidneys. Ten birds out
of twenty-five died in one pen from
this trouble. In an adjoining pen re-
ceiving cod liver oil, none died from
this disease. Cod liver oil is an excel
lent source Of vitamin A. However,
cod liver oil cannot be recommended
as poultry feed. It is necessary to fur
nish the birds feed containing this i'm
portant vitamin, if maximum results
are to be obtained. Alfalfa, peamealS
lettuce, cabbage and spinach are all
high in this vitamin. Besides, chard,
dandelion green's, carrots and clover
cuttings are good green feeds for main
tanning the health Of the flock during
the winter months.

Different Meat Breeds
and Winter Egg-Layer

After repeated trials with different
breeds poultryman has become con-
WINGED that where person wishes to
cater almost exclusively to a meat
market, as well as a winter egg trade,
he will make no mistake in keeping
three varieties: Light Brahmas for
large-sized roasting fowls; Plymouth
Rocks for medium sized roasting
fowls and spring chickens; and White
Wyandottes for small sized roasting
fowls and broiIers. Should a summer
egg trade also be desired, then the
Leghorns could be used principally on
account of their non-broody traits.
They will be laying when the Ameri-
can and Asiatic classes are thinking Of
raising families. In case where the
market does not call for large-sized
roasting fowls, it is advisable to cut
out the Brahams and keep the two
others mentioned. If the market is
not good one for broilers, then either
tie Plymouth Rocks or the Wyan.
dottes should I'LL the bill, and in that
case it would be best to keep only one
breed. In mentioning these particular
breeds It is not done to convey the
idea that they are the only ones fitted
for that class but rather to show what
class Of fowl is needed. The Rhode
Islands Reds or the Orpingtons, for in
stance, might suit the fancier better.

Favorable Conditions in
Early Spring for Clover

It is usually best to sow sweet clover
seed in the early spring, as soil mois-
ture conditions are hardly ever favor
able in the fall for getting the seed
early enough for it to make growth
enough to live over the winter.
Sweet clover may be sown the same
way that the other kinds of clover are
usually sown. It may be sown with
wheat, oats or barley, and when sown
on wheat early in the spring some
provision should be made for getting
the seed covered soon after sowing.
From 10 to II pounds of seed per
acre makes a heavy seeding with good
seed and under favorable conditions
for it to terminate. The yield of seed
per acre is very variable, and may run
from almost nothing up to 10 or u
bushels per acre, depending largely
on seasonal conditions.
