PRODUCTION OF COMB-HONEY
One of Fundamental Requirements of
Equipment in Hives Is That
They Be Uniform in Size.
(By GEORGE S. DEMUTH.)
A beehive must serve the dual pur
pose of being a home for a colony of
bees and at the same time a tool for
the beekeeper. Its main require
ments are along the line of its
Adaptation to the various manipula
tions of the apiary in so far (as these
do not materially interfere with the
protection and comfort it affords the
colony of bees. Since rapid manipu
lation is greatly facilitated by simple
and uniform apparatus, one of the
fundamental requirements of the
equipment in hives is that they be of
the same style and size, with all parts
exactly alike and.. Interchangeable
throughout the apiary. While the
hives and equipment should be as
simple and • inexpensive as possible,
consistent with their various func
tions. a cheap and poorly constructed
beehive is, all things considered, an
expensive piece of apparatus.
For comb-honey production the
brood chamber should be of such a
size that by proper management it
may be well filled with brood at the
beginning of the honey flow, so that
the brood and surplus apartments
may be definitely separated. A brood
chamber may be considered too large
if by proper management it is not on
an average fairly well filled with
Super With Section Holder for Bee
way Sections.
brood at the beginning of the honey
flow, and too small if it provides an
average of less room than the colony
is able to occupy with brood previous
to the honey flow. Unless the bee
keeper practices feeding, a brood
chamber that does not contain suffi
cient room for both winter stores and
brood rearing during late summer and
autumn may also be considered too
small. It may be well to note that
by this standard, if the brood chamber
seems to be too small the fault may
lie in the management during the
previous autumn, winter or spring.
Of course the brood chamber that is
barely large enough for one colony
will be too large for another in the
satqe apiary, or the character of the
season may be such that all brood
chambers may be too small for best
results one season and too large the
next, so an average must be sought.
The sectional hive in which the
brood chamber is composed of two or
more shallow hive bodies, making it
horizontally divisible, offers some ad
vantages, especially to the comb
honey specialist. Most of the ordinary
manipulations can be performed
readily with such hives without re
moving the frames. One of their
greatest advantages, in comb-honey
production is the rapidity with which
the apiarist can examine the colonies
for queen cells if natural swarming is
to be controlled by manipulation.
Some of the advantages of the plain
over the beeway sections are: (1)
They are simpler in construction,
therefore costing less. (2) The edges
being plain with no insets, the plain
sections are more easily cleaned of
propolis when being prepared for
market and are especially adapted
to cleaning by machinery. (3) By
leaving the spacers in the super, sec
tions of the same honey content oc
cupy less space in the shipping case,
thus reducing the cost of packages.
(4) The plain section is adapted to an
arrangement permitting freer com
munication lengthwise of the row of
sections, especially at the corners.
Some of the advantages of the bee
way section are: (1) The honey is
somewhat less liable to injury by
handling. (2) Being wider at the
Beeway and Plain Sections, Unfolded.
corners where folded, they are
stronger. (3) Some markqfs, being
accustomed to the larger cases neces
sary to contain a given number of
beeway sections, object to the smaller
package containing the same number
of plain sections, simply because it is
smaller.
Unfavorable Soils.
Clay soils are unfavorable to vege
tation because the soil is too close and
E-”-esive to allow the free passage of
or water to the roots of the plants.
Iso obstructs the expansion of the
fibres of the roots. Sandy soils are
unfavorable because they consist of
that have too little adhesion
to each Other. They do not retain suf
ficient moisture for the nourishment of
the plants. They allow too much so
lar heat to pass to the roots. Chalk
soils are unfavorable because they do
not absorb the solar heat, and are,
therefore, cold to the roots of the
plants.
Indicates Sour Soil.
If any one of the several kinds of
sorrel is found growing on a piece
of land it m pretty safe to assume that
the soil is sour and needs sweetening
with an application of liffie. Besides
this, it may be that the tract is not
properly drained, in which case it
should be tiled in addition to being
sweetened.
MOLAS9ES FOR DAIRY COWS
Used by Farmers in North More Than
Ever Before, but Not Yet Found
Entirely Satisfactory.
(By WALTER B. LEUTZ.)
More molasses is being fed in the
north than ever before, but most dairy
farmers are not yet satisfied that it is
profitable.
In an experiment at the Hatch sta
tion, Prof. J. B. Lindsey says: “Mo
losses contains about 3 per cent, of
protein and 70 per cent, of digestible
sugar.
.“Compared with corn meal,” says
Prof. Lindsey, "it equals substance
pound for pound in results' obtained
in feeding milch cows, but when fed
to horses they do not seem to be quite
equal to the same weight of corn
and oats.
"It is estimated that corn meal at
$1.20 per hundred pounds, molasses
would be worth about $1 per hundred
pounds. Its quoted pfice in Boston
is 12 cents per gallon by the barrel
and 8.6 per gallon in 10 barrel lots.
"A gallon weighs about 12 pounds,
so that at present relative prices the
molasses would be a little cheaper
feed than corn meal.
“A good point with the molasses is
that it is agreeable to stock and makes
them always ready to eat such - sub
stances as cut corn stubble, malt
sprouts, distillery feeds, etc., when
mixed with the molasses.
“A serious objection is that mo
lasses is not very convenient stuff to
handle and attracts flies in summer.
"As a mixture with high grade pro
tein foods,. I suggest one-third distil
lery grains, one-sixth cotton seed
meal, one-half molasses, or one-third
malt sprouts, one-third gluton-meal
and one-third molasses.
“For working horses, nine pounds of
pro vender and one quart of molasses,
or twelve pounds of provender and
three pints of molasses, or for hard
working horses substitute one-half
pound dry blood or one pound cotton
seed oil or linseed meal in place of an
equal quantity of provender.

Farm Notes
Don’t try to save money by buying
cheap seed.
Farm tests are worth more than all
the theories.
Deep plowing is necessary to get
the best resultß.
Don’t sow alfalfa seed on very re
cently plowed land.
There never, were better opportuni
ties in vegetable garden than to
day.
Cabbage growing for kraut fac
tories is a peculiarly uncertain busi
ness.
Build a silo and save much of the -
fodder that would otherwise go to
waste.-
Watch your machinery for loose
bolts and nuts, and don’t forget the
oil can.
A half crop of corn can be turned
into five-sixths of a crop by saving
the fodder.
Two of the best acreage-saving mon
ey-making propositions up to the farm
ers today are silage and alfalfa.
Don’t plant the large varieties of cu
cumbers, expecting to raise as many
as if the cluster kind were used.
Salsify or vegetable oyster should
be left in the ground the same as j
parsnips. Freezing improves it. j
Thick neck onions are usually seer. !
during such seasons as have wet
weather at the usual time of ripening.
Although there is little data on the
subject, alfalfa silage of good quality
would certainly make an excellent heg
feed.
Some enterprising gardener should
work up a fancy trade on A 1 vege
tables in the neighborhood of cities of
5,000 or over.
Driving a wedge with the back of
the ax has spoiled many a good tool.
Take a paul or beetle to do that
work and save the ax for its own use
work.
Put a small handful of meal in tht
pail of milk. The calf in licking the
pail will get the meal, and after i:

He’s Not a Chicken Fancier.
Speaking of chickens a funny man
writing in Puck says:
“They are the most dadbusted, un
certainest creatures that walk the fam
ily acre. Almost everybody tries to
raise chickens at one time or another.
Looks easy—that’s the deceiving part
of It.
“And it is easy after you learn one
thing. Little chickens don’t know
anything, medium sized chickens don’t
know anything. If there is any change
of an intellectual nature as the size
increases the big ones know less, if
possible, than the little ones.
"if there is a wire partition in your
pen with an open door at one end the
chickens will try to plunge through
the wire instead of going around and
walking through the door.”

FROM RESULTS OF COLDS
TO NEGLECT A COLD IN THE BE
GINNING IS TO RUN A
PRETTY BIG RISK.
When the Liver Gets Lazy the Blood
Thickens and the System Becomes
Easily Susceptible to Cold
and Disease.
A severe cold Is directly trace
able to an inactive liver. You get over
heated, and cool off too suddenly; the
pores of the skin become closed, the
blood recedes from the surface of the
body and a congestion is produced.
The same conditions follow when you
sit in a draft, or get wet. The liver
finds its effort overcome by pressure
of the blood, and food remains in the
stomach or bowels. The head gets
hot, the feet cold and the bowels con
stipated. Right then and there is the
danger point. Ibe bowels must be
kept open. The system must be re
lieved of congestion.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT is the great
est known relief. It is better than
calomel. It will rejuvenate the liver,
send the blood racing through the
veins, dispel congestion and make you
feel as If life is worth living.

was heard to say to one of the wire

“Mon, Peter, efter workin’ wi’ you

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth of Drug Habit In United States
Alleged to Be Due to Opiates
Ordered in Prescriptions.
That 99 per cent, of all the cocaine
and morphine manufactured in this
country is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi
cians’ prescriptions is the startling
j statement made by Dr. L. F. Kebler,
| Chief of the Division of Drugs, Depart
ment of Agriculture. This statement,
concerning the appalling growth of
drug addiction in the United States,
was made by Dr. Kebler in an address
at Washington, before the American
Society for tho Study of Alcohol and
Narcotics.
Dr. Kebler is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared that drug
using had increased 100 per cent, in
the last 40 years, and that American
medical men were not discriminating
enough in their use of opiates. Their
j overindulgence to their patients, he
i said, is creating thousands of drug
users every year.
“It is a very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work in promoting the use of cocaine
and morphine,” said the doctor. “State
-laws are not saving the public from
the grip of the drug habit, and the
American public is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss of
the morphine and cocaine fiend.
“The worst of it is that the impor
tation of opium into the country is
becoming larger and larger year by
year. I have heatf‘ ,'t said on reliable
authority that 99 per cent, of the co
caine and morphine manufactured in
this country is used by persons who
have formed the habit through doc
tors’ prescriptions.”
Almost simultaneously with Dr. Keb
ler’s address, Dr. J. A. Patterson, at
Grand Rapids, Michigan, in a public
statement said that 19 out of every 20
patients who come to an institution
with which he is connected for treat
ment for the drug habit owe their
downfall to physicians' prescriptions.

animal research is useless and futile.
They just put themselves in the posi

met at my hotel the other day.
“As this anti was dining I bent for
ward and said to him:
“ ‘Pardon me, but you are, I believe,
both an anti-vivisectionist and a vege
tarian?’
“ ’Yes, sir, that is correct,' he an
swered.
“ ‘Then,’ said I, ‘you will probably
be shocked to learn that you have

lettuce salad.’ ”
