WINTERING BEES. I
t
Packing Colonics In 8traw In an Open (
Storm Shed. e
At the back side of the bee building s
t the Montana experiment station and e
running the length of it is a room with
dirt floor fltted up with two skeleton n
she) ves of 2 by 4 so that some forty '
or fifty colonies of bees may be win 1
tered under as nearly normul condi- .
tlous as possible, with the entrances
counected wlUi the outside, permitting
the l>ees to fly at will.
Above these rooms in the gable roof
Is ample storage room for empty hives
and for surplus combs when not In use
for the houey harvest.
During the first two winters prior to
the erection of this bee house expert

oienls were carried on in outdoor wintering
and in packing a number of col- (
Ioules in straw under one roof. The ex- |
pertinents during the last two years
were not only modified by the indoor
wintering with packing only above the \
colonies, but also by packing colonies
Ilu straw in an open shed against the
ide of the house. (See the accompanying
figures.)

objection is the expenslveness of these

Dried Leaves Useful.
Plenty of dried leaves should l>e 1

cellars and pits, suggests American
Cultivator. Bog bay is also good for
^ this purpose. In some localities large
f areas of brook hay nnd bog hay have
this year not l>een considered worth '
cutting for stock, but now that work

find time to cut this grass for bedding 1
and mulch. Simply mow It. leave it '
for a day or two, then tnrn the swaths, 1
and next day it will he enred well '

What Mr. Riley accomplished in in
liana was quite paralleled In Ohio 1?t
the Learnings and in Illinois by .Tamer
L. Reid. As a result we have the pope
nr standard variety known as l.eam
Lng and the more cosmopolitan Reid's
Yellow Dent, each of which is extensively
grown in the Mississippi valley.
For exhibition purposes the latter is
without a peer in the races or varieties
of corn.
And still only a beginning has lieen
made. Ears that are pmeticalh per

ore being produced. but perfection has
not been attained. The moat important
work remains to be done. It does
not consist in producing .$250 ears nor
in emphasizing the so culled artistic
values of perfect scoring types. Its
prime object is to secure u maximum
yield of merchantable corn from every
acre planted.
Never was such keen interest shown
In any crop as is exhibited today in
corn. It was retlected in magnificent
fashion at the corn show in Chicago a
short time ago. Fourteen states contributed
exhibits. According to their
representation, their rank was as fob

prizes won by his family, he left the

nil the corn he showed was grown on
ii little thirteen acre patch. An Iowa
exhibitor won prizes of a total value
of about $0,000. A South Dukota corn
grower received nearly $7,(XX) worth of
prizes. Hundreds of others gained valnat>le
prizes in great variety, according
to the Breeder's Gazette, Chicago,
from whose extensive illustrated report
of the great corn show the foregoing
Items are gleaned.
A Cover Crop.
A cover erop will catch In the fall
the nitrates and other valuable plant
food which would otherwise be lost
In the drainage system and hold it ovei
until the following spring for the us?
of the trees. It also catches the nitrates
In the spring, which are apt to
leach out, and takes up the excess water
and thereby puts the ground In conlltlon
sooner for cultivation.
Carrots For Horsos.
Carrots are considered of high value
for all classes of stock, but especially
of great value for feeding horses. Ths
leaves of carrots appear to be of higher
feeding value than the leaves of
mangels or rutabagas.
