The best method of planting.
Prof. Starkey thinks, is to drill the
beans in rows two to three feet 4 *
apart. It requires about a bushel
of Biloxi seed per acre to get a
satisfactory stand for grazing. Care T
is needed not to plant the seed too
deep, especially on clay soils, for
a crust may form which the beans
may not be able to-break through.

Hints Value For Bee^
keeping Beginners
CLEMSON COLLEGE, April 2.—
To the many people who are won
dering and asking how to start with
bees, E. S. Prevost, state apiarist,
replies that the best time to start
Is in the spring when the bees have
before them the entire summer to
build strong colonies; that a good
standard hive should be adopted
and this should be ready for the
bees whep obtained; and that ne
cessary supplies * include a <bee
smoker, a bee veil, and a hive tool
or a strong pocket knife.
As to where to get bees Mr.
Prevost says:
“First, bees may be purchased
in standard frame hives from some
neighbor to be moved at the proper
time to the desired location; sec
ondly, bees may be purchased by
the pound on frames with a queen;
thirdly, bees may be transferred •
from some bee tree in the woods to
a standard novable frame hive.”
A common practice in this state
is to transfer bees from old lo°:s or
bee trees to a movable frame hive,
transferring with them a portion of
the brood comb which may be
readily fitted into the brood frames.
“Frequently, however,” Mr. Pre
vost warns us, “bees found in bee
trees and old logs are black bees,
and these generally have temper
and will sting on the slightest pro
vocation. They also lack courage,
and are poor defenders of the hive,
and on the whole are unsatisfac
tory; but they can be much im
proved by requeehing after they
l>ave settled in the new hive.”
Claude Workman—“Father
me a. quarter/’
Father—“What do you want it
for?”
Claude—I want to go to the cir
cus, they have got a great big suake
there.
Father—You should not waste
money to go to a circus to ■see'
snakes! Here take this magnify
ing glass and look at a worm.

Plant Soybeans Now
Give Long Grazing
CLEMSON COLLEGE, April 2.—
It is possible to have soybeans for
grazing six months in the year—
June to November inclusive, says
Prof. L. V. Starkey, animal hus
bandman of the South Carolina Ex
periment Station, who has found
that the Biloxi is one of the best
varieties for this purpose. This
variety, he states, matures late and
consequently allows the maximum
time for green grazing, and may be
grazed late in the fall after it ma
tures seed, which do not shatter.
Biloxis planted now should be
ready for grazing by the middle of
June, Prof. Starkey continues. The
hogs may be turned on when the
beans are about 12 inches high, and
an acre should cariry 10 to 15 pigs.
