If honey is to be stored for mar keting later on, care should always be taken to store it in a perfectly dry place. Sweet clover is one of the lresl honey plants. It can often lie sown to good advantage in all the waste places. Drones are large, noiiy bees, that do considerable buzzing, but never sting anybody, because they do not have an}’ sting. Thin honey will usually candy quicker than that which has been allowed to ripen thoroughly in the combs in the hives. All swarms that are led out by a virgin queen are termed after swarms. They come a few days after the first swarms. When trees are kept in large numbers there should be only one kind of hive, one style of section case, and one size of everything. Afterswarming can generally be prevented by cutting out all the queen cells but one after the old queen, with the first swarm, has left. I)o not be continually changing from one kind of a hive to another. There is very little difference in the quantity of honey bees will store in one hive over another. Bad food, with an open, cold hive, or an insufficient cluster of bees, is often the cause of dysentery among the bees. Honey gathered from rot ten fruit often causes this disease. Fertile workers are worker-bees that lay eggs and hatch out old drones and never worker bees. These drones are rather smaller than thedrones produced by a queen. The best plan of getting rid of fertile workers and their drones is to give them a fresh supply of hees, brood and comb, from some other hive. To make sure work, give at least three good combs of brood and bees. Bees never fuss with cripples or try to nurse up a liee that is wound ed or injured. When the queen cells have been cut out, all the larvae that are in any way injured are at once thrown out and none but perfect cells preserved. Italian bees are generally dis posed to be quiet when their hive is opened, and to remain quietly on their combs while being handled, showing neither vindictiveness nor alarm. Black hees are disposed to be frightened, and usually make considerable fuss. For this reason many prefer the Italians. It is important at this time to know that each hive has a good queen. If the bees stand around on the lighting board in a listless sort of way, with no bees carrying pol len, it is a pretty good indication that the hive is queenless. If they are without a queen give them a frame containing brood and eggs, and see that they start queen cells. RootM for Hakn. It is a weel-known fact that hogs to do well should have a variety of feed and not depend upon corn alone; especially is this true of hogs kept for breeding pnrposes, writes a contributor to the fireeiler’s Guide. There are many kinds of root plants that are excellent for fteding to hogs, among them arti chokes, pototoes, rutabagas, pars nips, and beets, preferred in the order named. When we take into consideration the easy culture, the remuneration for amount of ground required for their growth, we are made to wonder why these are not more generally raised. We can only conclude that farmers gener ally do not know and appreciate their value. When we take into consideration the fact that an acre of artichokes, planted in towr four feet apart, and in drills about two feet apart, with the same amount of cultivation given to corn, will yield from 400 to 800 bushels, we think that every farmer should have at least one or two acres de voted to the culture of artichokes. Allowing hogs their freedom in the I Fall and Spring, they will root them out of the ground as they will eat them, thus giving them plenty of exercise. Besides, the tubers may be stored away for Winter use the same as potatoes. We wish to call the especial atten tion of farmers to the value of ar tichokes as hog feed. \of Fat. Hut Thrift3'. One decided advantage in keep ing growing animals intended for meat, in good, thrifty condition is that at any time only a short feed ing of a full fattening ration will he required to finish for market. This is especially the case with pigs. At no time is it advisable to keep a growing pig fat. , A fattening ration is always more expensive than a growing one, es pecially during the Summer, when the pigs can have the range of a good pasture. A growing animal needs exercise to develop to the be>t advantage, and if kept fat it will have little inclination to take even sufficient exercise to keep thrifty. W'ith pigs it is qnite an item to feed so as to obtain a quick growth and early maturity, and to do this as economically as possible. A growing animal cannot be in the best of health when too fat; in fact, an excess of fat is a positive injury rather than a benefit. A pig kept too fat during growth will not weigh as much and cannot be finished for market as readily as one that up to a certain stage has only been kept thrifty. Another item that should always be considered is that during the next two months a fat animal must suffer from heat. Keeping I p the MradowN. When a good meadow is once secured it is worth while to give it good care in order to keep it in a good condition. One advantage in cutting meadows early, in addition to the better quality of hay, is that it tends to thicken up the plants by causing them to stool out more. While allowing the plants to ma ture, seeds help to kill them out. It is a good plan when the mead ows are being cut to notice the stand in the ground, so that later on the thin spots may be harrowed and if needed a light dressing of j manure be given and seed sown. In this way a good, even stand of J grass can be secured and maintain ed. Cut reasonably low, and yet j sufficient should be left to protect the roots, to some extent at least, from the hot sun. Extreme low cutting, especially when the weath er is hot and dry, often injures the plants very seriously, if it does not entirely kill them out. Arllrliekn. A correspondent of an agricul ture paper desires information con cerning the value as a food product for stock, etc. We have stated once or twice before that potatoes are u better and a cheaper crop for the same purpose. Yet, if our corre spondent has an out-of-the-way lot, inclosed with bog tight fence, it may save some laltor, to seed it to artichokes, Jerusalem variety, and when the tubers are ripe turn in the swine and let them do the harvest ing. It may not want another seeding for years; it will self-seed. CrOMNiiiK the Atlantic Usually Involves seasickness.

Butter and eggs seem made for each other; they mix so well and in so many ways, and there is noth ing which fits fietter on a dairy farm than a moderate stock of chickens. Not only do the chick ens consume skim and buttermilk profitably, but the same persons who pay the best prices for Jersey butter will pay the best prices for fresh eggs and fat poultry. The three things go well together, and are mutually helpful on the market. TECS “CORNER” Main Street. Dayton, - Nevada. WINES, LIQUORS & CIGARS Always on Hand.
