The Removal of the Haney Crop and
Requeentug.
In both extracted. and comb honey
aeoduction, sufecient storage room on
the hive for the whole crop sheuid be
provided, This should have been
given consideration When PI -arming
and ordering for the season's work.
In the production of extracted
honey,. allew three full depth Lang-
streth su-pers or OiX shallew 'supers

comb "heney, sit tepees, of t-vventy-
eight sectiens
' As it is desirable iii extraet, honey
production, that most of the honey
should ripen on the hive, supers should
not be removed till, at -least, two-
thirds of the honey is capped. °Wes
In comb honey production, however,
teepees elsould be removed as fast as;
they am capped, to prevent travel
stain. , •
To get the bees' out of the augers,
the'best method employed ie be means
'of the bee -escape, which prevents both
disturbance end robbing. The escapes
shduld he placed late in the afternoon,
when the supers should be clear of
bees in from twelve to twenty-four
hours' time -depending on weata.se
condition. One escape board, equip-
ped with two 2 -way beesescapes
should- he alloWed per colony--thue
with a full equipment, but one trip is
necessary to 'remove the crop ef an
out -apiary. .The springs • of the
eseapes' must be eet properly; that is,
so thet a bee can just pass through;
otherwise much brushing, shaking and
smoking may be required to clear the
euaers of bees.
To place an escape all that.is neces-
sary' is to tip the stack of supers to:
be removed- and to elide the escape -
board underneath. however, clust-1
ering spaee for the bees and rOom to I
take care cf the fall honey which may i
be gathered are required, place a super
of empty combs -on the brood chamber,
eater which the etcape and the Supers
of honey may be placed above.
Having placed the escaped,, make a
careful' survey of the hives to see that
-there ate no -openings through which
robber bees can enter the mon to be
unguarded supers.
. If the severs, after removal, are not
immedietely, taken from the apiary,
they should be stacked at different
points. in the yards with escapes below
and above to exclude robbers; till they
can be removed by truck or wheel-
barrow. This distribution ef sepers,
by distributing the attention of the
robbers,- reduces the -disturbance and
facilitates the work of .loading the

track. In leadine` a tattles, or Wagon,
sulteaa ehould be placed that all comba
are verallel with the exies; but en a
Wheelbarrow they should. lo e parallel
with the wheel. Robber cloth, aleo,
may be used to (toyer and protest the
sepias when taking them to the honey
house. As 4:t further means of pre-
venting robbing, the entrance 'of the
honey 'house should be large enough
to 'Permit the vehicle being driven
through it.,
Having censidered the removal of
this easOD'S Crop, we turn our atten-
tion to the fleet etep in the produetion
of the crop of next seeson-requeen-
ing.
Though the time and method of re -
queening 'will vary with the system of
management employed, it is necessary
that a vigorous! queen 'shall head each
coldny in time to fill the hive with
plenty of yoeng tees for -wintering.
Therefore, all weak or failing queens
e•hould be replaced.
A good inethoet of requeening--altso
of -swarm control -is that practiced at
the Centre} Experimental Perna Ot-
tawa, for the past two seasons. It
consists in removing the old queen, on
the appeararice of advaneed queen
cells early in the eleven- flow; and de-
stroying all cells; and nine days:. 'later
again destroying cells and intrastate-
ing a young laying queen.
Silage Cuts Milk Costs.
Dairymen have found that the cow's
board bill is the largest item connected
with cost of`milk. The man who buys
a first-class dairy herd is inclined to
believe that the e. ieinal cost of the
cows is the exper:' a part. After he
has a few yeare cf experience he
changes his mind: It is the feed, bill,
in seeeen and out, year after year,
that totals up the big expense.
OUT experiment stations have con-
ducted many tests to detexmine the
value of silage in the ration. The
figures vary to quite an extent, but
they all show the economic value of
sliege. Several years ago it was de-
monstrated that corn silage saved the
dairy farmer ten cents a poeml on the
'cost of producing a pound of butter,
and forty centt on the cost of produe-
I ing 100 peunds of milk. Many of the'
early cow -testing aseociations demon-,
' strated that the silo was one of the
most important factors in lowering
the coat of milk. All of these ex-
' periments and tests, however, are only
; a small part of the proof of the mien-
' only of the vile. The most important
'proof is the fact that one-half million
sales are now being used by our most
progressive fatonees. , •
Wealth in Stones
By Louis Hurtubise
The Federal and Provincial Depart-
ments of Agriculture are continually
urging Canadian farmers to follow
methods calculated to produce larger
arielde froni the areas' they already
have in crop rather than in increasing
the acreage and being unable to till
it preperly. -Crop -yields in general
ere very much lselew what is possible,
in many cases below that ,which is
Profitable: Compare, for instance, the
achievements of -Seagee Wheeler and
J. G-. Hill with the harvests secured
by the average farmer. .Dr. Shutt, the
chief 'chemist of'the Dominion Experi-
mental Farm says :-"We • have now
arrived at that -stage where we DI'Llet
'change from extensive to' intensive
farming. It 'is going to be easier and
more profitable to farmers to get sixs
ty bushels .front One acre than to get
thirty bushels' from 'two acres."
Fertility Depends on Many Factors.
It is a postulate that what conies
out of the soil must be pet back if it
is to be maintained with its productive
powers unimpaired. One of the prime
necessities for soil improvement is
lime. Annual replenis.hing of the soil
is neceseary bec.aase the rainfall each
year continnally leaches the soil to
such an extent that it 'becomes acid
and the yields cf neatly all common
crops are reduced. considerably. Ex-
pert egrieulturists on both sides of
the line are unanimbuS in the opinion
that the cheapest, quickest and mest
nrelific means of coriecting this acid-
ity is through the 'use of lime, and the
wonder is that supplies'oelbis product
being easily procured in ahhott all
farming arease, lime is not in more
general use by Canadian farmers, per-
ticul.aely in 'the Provinces of Ontario
aria Quebec,
Lime occurs under different forms,
burned lime, water -slicked lime and
ground limeatone...The last is the most
important for correction of soil; it is
a simple material tp handle and' apply

said that the mme coarsely the lime-
stone is greeted the slower will 'be its
action on the soil, Agronomists have
recently and after elaborate expert-
.
emetation reached the conclusion "that
the ITIOSt economical form in which
limestone should be applied to the soil
is in the size of one-quarter inch and
finer (alleost the size of the average
waste from commercial rock, crush-
ing plants). In this form, the lime -
same will be so graded that the finest
particles beeonie almost immedi-
ately available to the soil; the ceerser
particles gradualist Ultima effect, and
the coaesest (one-quarter inch) being

poses. The application offers no dif-
ficulties as a spreader may be used
or the ground reek be distributed by
a shovel frometruek or wagon. The
spreading may be done at, any time
of the year, the rock being suited to
light learns, heavy clays and soil poor

be harrowed in on cropped lend but
merely spread on the eurface of mea -
or pastures. The' coarser lime-
stone described pleovesean be applied
once in fonr or'five years, the 'finer
ground limestone requiring more,fre-

The Washington Department of
Agriculture states "that the applies -
tion frequently pays a dividend' of
100 per cent. the first year 'and the
Profits in agriculture feem its con-
tinual use are, estimated to be from
300 te-500 per cent." The same de-
partment goes on to say that "if all
sources of artificial chemical fertiliz-
ers failed, our total farm output could
not only be maintained but even in-
creased -for a thne simply' by the ap-
plication of lime to acreage that are
now low in yield or lying fallow be-
cause they are too sour to grow pro-
fitable crops."

When we have poultry to pick, we
first scald the birde in hot water at a
temperature of about 160 deg, E. A

all that is required. The bird is then
taken from the water and quickly

Vitamines in Meat.
Scientists now tell us that vitaminee
also exist in the muscle fibre o•fsbeee,

Supplied with these vitainines.
Various cues of the different kinds
of meats were fed to rate and pigeons.
In every instance .pork was found -to
be velatively'rich an vitamin° content.
It wag fed in the form of pork tendler-
loin, fresh, ham, smoked. ham ' and
preeted boiled ham'. The results were
much the same in each instance. In
lamb' the amounts varied greatly,
while beef and veal' showed a relative-
