Bees in Orchard
Most Profitable
Under Modern Methods of
Handling Insects Are
Not Bothersome.

: Orchardists think kindly Of the low
~ honey bee. There is very COM
mon saying among experienced or
lchardists which sums the matter up
In few words. It is: mo bees, no
fruit" The failure Of orchards in
certain parts of the country, the in
different fruiting which Is often
blamed on the season. might very Of
ten be traced to the absence Of bees.
Il does not make much difference, SO
far as the orchard Is concerned,
whether 1t is tame, bees or wild bees
that perform natures method of fer
tilization of the bloom. 1t does, how
ever, make some difference to the Or
chard owner in that tame bees will
give him a yield Of honey and sure
polarization without the consumption
Of extra ground. The same land can
be made to yield two crops just as
well as one.
Orchard Failures.
The discontinuance Of the keeping
Of tame bees on many farms, and the
additional destruction and disappear
ance of the wild bees in the surround
ing woods have all had their hand
In the so-called failure Of orchards"
Bees are one Of the most profitable
side lines which the farmer can carry.
He can we'll afford to consider their
Possibilities, not only for their own
sake but for the sake Of the orchard.
Under modern methods Of handling
bees, they are not half the bother and
the trouble that they used to be.
Swarming, the old-time bugaboo Of
the beekeeper. has been practically
eliminated, because we have learned
its cause and by practicing precau-
tionary methods. by getting ready in
advance for the STUN" bees can be
hived in very few minutes. Indeed.
beekeepers now have ways of prevent
Ing swarming II they so desire.
Modern Appliances.
Modern appliances such as hives,
supers and the uniform pound frames
all aid in encouraging the modern bee
to produce more than his earlier an
cestors did. Ten to twenty pounds per
hive used to be fair average pro-
duction for one season; now it is not
uncommon for Iowa beekeepers to re-
ceive as much as 200 pounds Of honey
from one hive in favorable season.
An average of 40 to so pounds can be
had from each hive under ordinary
conditions per season. SO Iowa bee
keepers report.
The finest quality honey comes from
white clover. alsike clover and sweet
clover. 1t is clear and golden. Buck
wheat Is often desirable late feeding
ground for bees, but it falls short of
premium prices on the market because
it Is darker in color and little ranker
In flavor.

One Little Yea Among thu
Noes

During the Republican National
convention of 1920 the leaders behind
the scenes, fearing Senator Hiram
Johnson might kick over the traces
in the event of the nomination of
Presidential candidate displeasing to
him, repeatedly made overtures TO
the Californian to take the second
place on the ticket. Invariably John
son declined the proposition. Toward
the last he showed signs of temper.
At this critical period the stage
managers invoked the Offices of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.. as an Inter
mediary. They counted on the friend
ship which had existed between
johnson and young Roosevelt's
father. Johnson was as briskly en-
phatic in stating his position to
young Colonel Roosevelt as he had
been in his language to earlier ennis
saries.
Nevertheless, right up to the elev-
enth hour the bosses trusted that
Johnson might be induced to change
his mind. Three of us, all newspaper
correspondents, were in JOhns0n'S
room at the Blackstone hotel in Chi
cago on the night before the ticket
was named, when Johnson's secretary
came to say that Colonel Roosevelt
was on the telephone, desiring to
speak with him. johnson took down
the receiver, and we heard him say
this, with pauses between words:
neutrality-suspicious.
When Senator Johnson had hung
up the receiver and returned to his
seat, one of those present said:
Senator. I'm curious to know what
the question from Colonel Roosevelt
was which caused you to reply in the
affirmative when all your other an
swers were such positive noes"
Johnson's eyes twinkled
"That," he said, was when the
young man. asked me If l could hear
distinctly what he was saying"

Suddenly he stopped.
"Aixcuse me moment, sab" he

The old southerner was escorting
an aged blind colored woman across
the street. At the far curb he patted
her back and said:
Nov you all right, mammy!"
And then he returned to his friend.

Different Kinds of Food
When Hen Is Confined

When the hen is confined to the poul-
try mouse and its immediate surround
ings, perhaps small yard. the only
way that she can make eggs is to re-
ceive from the caretaker the various
different kinds of food that she would
obtain on free range in summer, or
their equivalents. On most farms there
is reasonably good variety of grains,
including corn. wheat. oats and bar
ley, and these form sufficient variety
SO far as they are concerned In ad-
dition there should be ground grains,
including wheat, bran and cornmeal, to
use in dry or damp mashes. To take
the place of the bugs and worms of the
summer season beef scraps, such as
are furnished by dealers in poultry
supplies. or cut fresh bone should be
given.

To Make Silage Out
Of Soft Corn Crop
Chop Fine and Pack Tightly
Is Plan Urged.

There Is a lack of silo room In many
places for the whole corn crop should
it be frosted or immature. Because
the ears are the most valuable part
they should be saved in any event. 1t
is difficult to save the ears Of q soft
corn crop by storage in cribs. In 1917
the Iowa experiment station demon
strated that soft ears in the late roast
ing stage could be husked, run
through a silage cutter, and tightly
packed into silos with very good re-
suits. The silage resulting after II
days of fermentation was of surpris-
ingly good quality and held its flavor
so well that at the end of two months
it was in excellent feeding condition.
Silage can be made in ten or twelve
days and will probably be ready to
feed two weeks after filling.
ut Is not necessary to husk the
corn in order to make soft-ear silage,"
says Andrew Boss of University Farm,
st. Paul, MINI. Snapped corn can
lie handled just as satisfactorily as
the husked corn and the husks give
the advantage Of greater bulk and adj
ditiOnal feed
"The Iowa station urges chopping
the corn finely in making ear-corn ST.
lage and packing it tightly in the silo
by tramping, especially near the walls.
Silage made from ears that are par
TALLY matured may require the addi-
ton Of water to insure proper packing
and prevent overheating and molding
in the Safeguarding process. Silage
made from ear corn should be covered
with layer Of finely cut corn fodder
or slower. If such a cover is not pro-
vided there will be too much waste
Of valuable corn. It Is not advisable
to make silage Of mature or nearly
mature corn. The cobs prevent pack
ing and they do not contain sufficient
sugar to permit the fermentation
which is necessary for preservation.
Ear corn silage should be fed as
concentrate, not as roughage."

Starting Team With Big
Load Is Not Difficult

To the driver who would start his
heavily loaded team here Is a bit of
excellent advice from the Horse Asso.
citation of America:
The driver must hold his lines taut.
Experience has shown that nearly all
drivers get excited and push on the
lines. thereby virtually turning the
horses loose at the very moment that
they need to be steadied by moder-
ate pressure on the bit.
Whipping is worse than useless.
The experience of practical teamsters
proves conclusively that no pair of
horses can or will exert their best
efforts when fearful that they are
about to be whipped. Fear interferes
with the deliberate. careful placing of
feet and legs.

The Value of a Good Memory

When Rhinelander Waldo was fire
commissioner of New York and when
Edward Croker was fire chief, Croker
volunteered one day to take Waldo
for a ride down Broadway in his ia
nous ninety-horse-power red auto
mobile, which he used when going to
fires. Waldo's secretary, Winnie"
Sheehan, who's now a movie mag
nate, went along, too.
Waldo owned number of brisk
moving cars himself and thought he
knew something about speed. but he
had never travelled with Croker.
They sped down Broadway at a ter
rifying pace. shaving trolley cars,
slicing curbstones and avoiding COLI
sions with trucks by quarter-incii
margins.
AT Canal street block compelled
Croker to slow down. Instantly
Waldo jumped out of the car and,
muttering something about having
forgotten something, dived into the
nearest building. About then, Croker
decided to call up fire headquarters
and he. too. went away temporarily,
leaving his daredevil chauffeur and
the yet breathless Sheehan in the
machine. Croker returned to find
only the chauffeur.
'Mr. Sheehan said for you to go
ahead and have your ride out"
stated the chauffeur. HE said he'd
just remembered the same thing that
Mr.. Waldo did"

A decision favoring the Rumanian
Government in the suit brought by
the Baldwin Locomotive Co. for the
recovery of balance of about 81 OOO.-
600 for locomotives delivered in 1919
and 1920 was handed down today by
the tribunal hearing the case.
The tribunal admitted the request
made by Finance Minister Bratiano to
accord the Rumanian government
protection by the so-called term of
grace under the moratorium law.
This is the first time that the Ru-
manian Government has invoked this
law. which was passed in 1923 to
enable Rumanian commercial debtors
to negotiate group settlements with
foreign creditors. Funding agree
ments so far have been concluded with
British. French, Italian, Swiss and
Belgian creditors
Bringing the Baldwin debt within
the scope of this law is regarded as
an effort to compel American credi-

or evolution is true or not true, the
attorney contending that freedom Of
teaching and freedom of learning be-
