MOTHER NATURE'S SOIL FACTORY
Tho first process In tho formation of
a soil Is tho pulverization of the rocks.
Nature uses sovoral methods to bring
about tho grinding or pulverization of
rocks, the most important of which Is
running water. You would hardly
think that such a soft substance as
water would do much grinding, but
water running over stone grinds off
the surface slowly, but surely. If

along particles of sand or stone, the
VARIETIES OF WHEAT.
During the past thirteen years tho J
Ohio experiment station has bocn
growing, side by side, a very large
number of different varieties of wheat
for tho purposo of comparing tho ylold
and the quality of the grain. In ordor
to check dlffercnco in soil, every third .
plot has been seeded with the same1
variety each year. This mnkes it pos-1
Bible, to compare each variety in tho
test with a standard variety growing'
in an adjacent plot.
Of the old varieties w hlch havo been
tested for tho entlro period of thirteen j
yoars, tho ten standing highest in
point of yield aro as follows: Daw

Tho oed room vhould he dainty nnd

It Is a great mistake to allow tho

Caring For The Bees
Tho bco is ono of our best friends,
for ho work with untiring energy
nil through the long summer to lay
up Ills storo of honey, nnd, when wo
conio along nnd take it from Mm, no
works all tho harder to tnako up thu
loss. Such friends nro wortli taking
caro of. They need proper housing
and food to carry them through tho
winter, when thoro Is nothing they
can do to provide for themselves.
The Hives
A good swnrm of bees 1b worth
12.00 to $2X0 without the hive, nnd
it pays to protldo tbem with a good
box hive. This hire should havo an
upper nnd lower compartment. Tho
lower compartment should' bo fitted
tip with from, l In which bees can
storo their tood and ralso their
broods. Tho upper compartment
should be tho right slzo to bold the
M)und sections of honey to bo taken
off for salo and for homo use. When
winter comes on tho upper part
should bo taken off from nil tho
hives and stored one abovo another
In a dry clean plnco where they will
keep till spring when they can be
put back on tho hives, nnd tho boos
can go right on building nnd filling
tho combs tiny started tho fall be
fore. They t.hould not bo put on.
however, until tho boea havo got the
lower part of tho hlvo pretty wsll
filled with honey again. By taking
off nnd storing tho tops we not only
keep tho foundations of comb and
tho comb already mado In good con
dition, but wi compel tho bees to
crowd closo together In cold weather
to keep warm.
Ventilation
If been havo plenty of honey or
ura properly fed, many more siuoth
er than freeze to death. It is there
fore very Important to seo that they
get fresh nlr Tho regulation Blzo
opening Into tho hive In summer is
S-4 inch high clear acrobs tho front
of tho hive. In winter this should
bo covered with a strip of wood leav
ing an opening 3-8 Inch high which
allows tho bees to go in and out on
warm dayff nnd gives sufficient venti
lation In wlcto.-. When a snow .storm
comes tho snow should always bo
swept from owning, for bees can
Ikj smothered to death In this way
In n very short time. Then, too, If
the oiK-nlng Is not closed mice aro
most sure to get In In winter and
kill many If not nil tho bees. If you
still havo the old stylo hollow log
gums, with holes bored through to
let the bees In end out, bo sure these
oienlngs nro closed sufficiently to
keep tnlco out but still let tho bo?a
go out nnd In.
Keep the Bees Dry
It Is Important to keep Uie bees
warm, but much more so to keep
them dry. Probably tho best cover
for hives Is rubber roofing which
should bo cut luto covers for each
hlvo you havo sc tho projecting parts
will bend down of their own weight
nnd form an excellent protection to
nil sides of the hive and keep
water out. They should bo
weighted down with flat stones.
These co vera will cost about 10 its.
each mid with proper care will last
four or five years, if It Is not practi
cal to get.thls kind of covers, thoro-
NEW GRASSES IN THE SOUTH
Tho following Is taken from tho
current Issuo of Farm nnd Fireside:
"Every northern fanner, when ho
goes south, is struck by tho scarcity
ot grass and of good meadows nnd
pastures. Hay is always high in tho
South. Such a thing as tho tall,
waving northern meadow, with thu
dark clover In tho bottom is ulmoU
unknown In Dlxlo, outside of certain
favored locations. Hut last year, in
South Carolina, a hundred farmers
sowed grass In cooperation with tho
Department of Agriculture, with good
bucccss. Tho seed sown was, in each
caw, half a bushel of orchard-grass,
half a bushel ot tall meadow oat
grass, half a bushel of Italian rye
grass and ten pounds of red clover po
ncro. This enormously hoavy seeding
was" thought necessary la order to
get a stand from tho start A ton
of llmo and four hundred pounds ot
commercial fertilizer wero applied to
oach aero. Tho crop this year will
vary from two and a half to four tons
to tho acre. Tho movement promises
to spread until these, communities
will produce hay not only for farm
horses, but stock-raising."
THE CROVUHeIaRMER'S FRIEND
If I wero to say that tho crow is
a helping hand about tho farm, many
farmers might think I lived In tho
city, writes William L. Finlcy in
"Success Magazine." Many might pre
ly water proof board covers will do;
but tho bees must bo kept dry.
Wintering In Shed or Cellar
If tho hives aro mado of boards
at least 1 1-4 Inches thick boes
will usually do very well out In tho
yard but It a better to house them.
If this is dotib a strip of mosquito
netting must bo fastened over the
opening to keep the bees from com
ing out, when tho hives can bo stack
ed up closo together llko so many
boxes in a good warm outbuilding or
In tho cellar, llut If this Is done, at
least twlco during tho winter on
warm days thj bees must Jjo taken
out, each hlvo to tho placo It occu
pied In tho Mimmcr and tho mos
quito netting removed so tho bees
can coma out for a flight to cnablo
them to ompty their bowels. Tills
Is very necctary if tho bees are
to live and como out healthy In tho
spring. They should not be left
out moro than a day or two, nnd
then properly stored away again.
Karly In April they should be put out
for the summer.
Feeding; the Bees
Dy having hives with good upper
and lower compartments, nil tho
honey can bo taken from tho sec
tions abovo and tho bcos fed during
tho winter when necessary. This Is
tho easiest thing ' In tho world nnd
costs very little. AH hives should bo
examined In October to seo that they
havo plenty of honey to last till
Christmas at least. If any nre found
that havo not. they should bo fed.
For each swarm to bo fed, take
two quarts of granulated sugar dis
solved In the 6amo amount of wat
er. Drlng this to a boll jind then nl-
' low to get cold. In tho morning when
It Is cool and the bees are sluggish
take out the frames of empty comb
ono at a time. Set tho frame In a
pan nnd tip it enough so you can
pour tho thin syrup out of n small
pitcher onto the broadside of comb
and every llttlo cell coji readily bo
filled with tho best kind of bco
food. Then tip tho other way and.
fill tho other side. Each frame cf
every hlvo nscessary can be filled
this way. Again about January 1st,
tho boes, should bo fed again for the
rest of the winter, and the swarms
will all como out strong In the
spring, and an outlay of 25 cents to
r.0 cents has saved $2.00 to $2.r0.
Profits of Bee Keeping
Mr. C. I. Ogg of Berca started
Into the winter a year ngo with SO
swarms of bees. Ho cared for them
as related above, feeding them about
five dollars worth of sugar during
last winter. Hi took $12:5 worth of
honey this summer and mado 40
new swarms of bees besides keep
Inc all tho old ones. These 40 new
swarms aro worth at least $S0, mak
ing tho scatons prollt from 29
swarms amount to $203 or $7.07 for
each swarm.
Probably not many men will try
to keep so many bees, but every
ono should havo a few swarms and
with very llttlo Intelligent caro they
will furnish til tho honoy ou need
for Uio family and enough money
to keep one or two of tho children
In Ilcrea Collego during tho winter.

crow has a reputation as black as

causing great injury to tho corn
crops. Bteallng fruit, robbing nests
of poultry, and eating young birds.
To determine tho real economic
Ktnn of tho crow, tho scientists ot
the Hiologlcal Survey examined nearly
a thousand stomachs of crows Uliieu
In every month of the year and thru
out tho country. Tho crow was prov

was also shown that most of the
corn that ho had eaten was waste
corn and the part destroyed while
growing was only three per cent of
tho total food. Tho destruction of
fruit and eggs wa3 only trivial, while
on tho other hand tho amount of

tho crow. It was proven beyond a

Questions Answered '
BEREA, FRIEND OF WORKING STUDENTS. Berea Collego with :ts
affiliated schorls, is not a money-making Institution. It requires certain
fees, but It expends many thousands of dollars each year for tho benefit
of Its students, giving highest advantages at lowest cost, and arranging
as far as porslblo for students to earn and save In every way.
OUR SCHOOL IS LIKE A FAMI LY, with careful regulations to pro
tect the character and reputation of the young people. Our students como
from the best families and aro earnest to do well and Improve. For any
who may bo sick tho College provides doctor and nurse without extra

All except those with parents in Berea ltvo In College buildings, and
many assist in work of boarding hall, farm and shops, receiving valuable
training, and getting pay according to the value of their labor. Except In

umbrellas and other necessary articles at cost.
LIVING EXPENSES are really bolow cost. Tin College asks no rent
for tho fine buildings In which students live, charging only enough room
rent to pay for cleaning, repairs, fuel, lights, and washing of bedding and
towois. For table board, without coffeo or extras, $1.35 a week, In the fall,
