The swinging sttutter may toe raised in good weather and is also provided with wire screens. in saving the- chicks. Proper feeding is essential, but many well fed fowls succumb to filth and vermin. Though cleanliness should always be practiced, the warmer the weather the greater the need for thoroughness in this particular. The houses should be cleaned and disiuiocted often enough to keep the presence of disturbers at the minimum Other conditions being equal, a clean, well ventilated chicken bouse will do much toward promoting health in the UoJ*. The drinking pans or troughs should also receive frequent and thorough at tention. It is not enough to rinse them daily with cold water. They should be scoured and scalded. The generous use of soda in the scalding water will be very effeetiver The use of ak slaked lime on the floor of the house after cleaning will tct as a germicide, give the place a clean, healthful odor and discourage insect pests.

Frequently colonies become queenless when ii Is not practicable to give them a new queen, and the best practice un der such conditions Is to unite the queenless bees to a normal colony. On general principles the best plan under all circumstances is to try to have a virgin queen in each colony in the out yard at the beginning of the honey flow. Every man "'should study his honey flow and know just when it comes and at the proper time arrange to have the queens in each colony. It is well to have queenless colonies during a honey flow. When one has a virgin queen in that colony it is supposed to be a colony that is well organized, and more bees can be supported from the brood. As soon as warm weather approaches go over the entire apiary and examine each hive to ascertain the condition of the bees. Usually a few colonies are found where the bees are all right, but the queen is absent. This is quickly noticed by the disconcerted action of the bees themselves, and then, looking further, we notice that no breed is present. Such h:\es should be placed under other hives, ith free access be tween them. The queenless bees will readily unite with the colony over them. Honey, like every other commodity raised on the farm, is bringing a good price. Consumers are finding that with the present high cost of living it can in many cases be made to take the place of butter as a spread for bread or a top dressing for griddle cakes. Honey is not only a food it is like wise a medicine. And there is no doubt that in the gathering of the nectar from the blossoms the little bees also eratlior some qualities that are benefi cial to heilth. for Mother Natai* is the bel physician and has a remedy for evcrv ill Subscribe for the Pioneer.
