" Twenty years ago," he said to • group of .tudenti, " I gradated in thin hall There were eighteen men in my clam. " Of the eighteen six drank habitually while at college.

May iM Aee.esegtebed wlela.me Less .r rertillaites DleterfeL Raw manure is not in oosdition for the market gardener's purposes except in ran cases. It may do for sweet corn and Domes in play for heating hotbeds or forc- ing melons, but for general garden crop it most be composted and meds as fine as possible. There need be no loss of fertilising materials or elements if the compost heap is properly made, as shown In the illustration. Pile it up in s square heap with perpendicular sides and flat top, four or fire feet high and as wide M long, os may be required, advises Greiner in his "How to Make tbellasden Py." He further directs: Let it come to a heat and fork the mass over from time to time' wtil'it is in the desired condition. It takes time and labor, adding to the original cost, and in COMPOSTING STABLY IL&NUIL deciding on the price he can afford to pay for raw manure originally the gar- dener will have to take this feature in consideration. These heaps may be made during au- tumn and early winter right on the arable lend, and the material will generally be ready to be ar.-ead upon the soil where wanted when the time for planting it with spring crop has arrived. It is ab• wlntely necessary that these heaps be of considerable depth, not les than four feet, in order to prevent the rainwater from leaching clear through and washing away valuable foci elements. The compost heap while in process of construction is the most appropriate dumping place for vegetable rubbish of all sorts, the crcassea of animals (!.urger ones cut in pieces), house and kitchen dope and other waste materials. Refuse matter of this kind often adds greatly to the value of the compost For general garden crops this manure, when in the right condition (well rotted). is applied broadcast and thoroughly mixed all through the soil, generally by plowing under in lap furrow style and by thorough harrowing. The Average Age of Queen.. 1. How many seasons should • queen be kept laying? 2. What is the average age of queens if left alone? was a query answered not long ago in the columns of The American Bee Journal. C. II. Differn replied as follows: 1. A queen begins to foil after the second year, and the most successful honey pro- ducer will ere that his queens do not get much older than that. 2. If left entirely alone, they would probably average about 8 years G. W. Demaree said: 1. 1 now after long experience leave that to the bees. They will make fewer mistakes along this line than 1 am likely,to make. 2. 1 clip the wings of my queens, and in this way I keep pretty nearly up with them. The average is about 3 years. Many queens are superseded at 2 years old: many more at 3, and nearly all at 4. Mrs Jenny Atchley of Texas answered: 1. Taking everything into consideration, it might be boat to keep queens only 2 years, and, to answer the second part of the question. I will say that 2 years is about an average life for queens in this locality, but good queens often do good service even the fourth year. 2. It real- ty would be hard to average up, as ao much depend. upon circumstances Deer Fsst.nleg. Here is a sketch of a door fastening that was originally illustrated and de- scribed by an Ohio genius in The Ohio Farmer. He says: When doors are required to be fastened at the top and ;t the bottom, I have seen nothing that excels it.

A person who has never introduced queens had better try their hands as cheap poises before they sttempt to in- troduce valuable ones. They may go exactly according to directions printed es the cage of the breeder and then tall Mrs. Harrison, who madders the sub- ject in a letter to The Prairie Farmer, says that to be absolutely late of awe- Mee ro-nes it must be positively known that these is no queen in the hive. Oooeioa- ally two queens are found living pews. ably in a hive—mother and daughter -- and when ono was removed the conclu- sion was made that the coast was clear and the stranger introduced, when else met her death. There is a great difference in the dis- position {aposition of !tees with reference to accept- ing a strange quern. They will pendia in refusing to accept a queen and be de- termwel to have none except one of their own rearing. lir. Doolittle's plan would be s good one for each incorrigible bees He would smoke them to intimi- date them and cause them to fill their sacs with honey and then brush them into a cage and pl*ce them in a cool place, like a ceUer7 for 24 hours, when they will accept any queen, even a virgin. There are many different ways of in- troducing queens The old one must first be removed and the new one introduced caged—after 48 hours is usnaly recom- mended It is an easy matter to lift out a comb and find an Italian queen, for she will remain upon the comb, Lying and being fed by iter attendants. But black bees will run off the comb and gather in clusters, trembling on to the ground, and take pleasure in creeping up ander your garment& Finding the queen is thus like hunting a needle in a hay- mow. The best way t0 find th;.m is to fasten a piece of queen excluding zinc in front of a hive, remove the old one and put this in its place and brush tine bees from the combs and put them in the new hive. The bees will all pass through zine, but the queen will be found on the outside of it. Narragansett Turkeys. A contributor to The Poultry World says of the Narragansett turkey: It is one of the largest and hardiest of all the breeds of turkeys 1t is raised in the greatest perfection in southeastern Con- necticut and Rhode Wand, a region fa- mous for its fine poultry. Most of the birds sold in the Boston and Providence markets under the name of Rhode laland turkeys, or extra No. 1, are of this breed. The farmers are careful in their selection of their breeding stock. taking NARRAGA NSETr waxers. yonn¢ gobblers that will weigh from 23 to 28 pounds and hens that will weigh from 12 to 16. Where the birds are kept over, gobblers will sometimes dress 32 to 34 pound.. For ranking poultry for market the Narragansett. have no superior. The prevailing colon are white and black, with a large patch of white upon the wing bow, giving a general imprsatdoa of a gray bird. They are not nniforlla ie the shading, but with sufficient pile- taking ertaking could be bred to a feather. Shallow Cultivatlea For Cera. It is told in s bulletin from the Indi- ana station that better success has been obtained on the station grounds from shallow cnitivatioo of corn than by any other method. Shallow cultivation on the average produced higher yields than when the ground was stirred deeply, and this is simply proving what bas long been advocated. Corn is a plant that needs only the stirring of the serflike soil and not deep down, as the roots of the plant do not extend very deep. In planting corn, however, the bulle- tin says that it is quite desirable to plow deep. Early planting of the corn in the fields always gives better results than the late, averaging tram two to three bushels per acre mon than late plant- ing. Commercial fertilizers, while good in their way for corn, do not begin is compare with stable manure, which al- ways gives a mon lasting and valuable effect upon the soil Moderate applica- tions of stable manure made at the right time will give more desirable results than heavy applications of commercial fertilizers There is a limit to thorned. of the plants. and moderate applications will give often as good results as very h eavy top dressings.
