WARMING HONEY IN TANK.
How an Oil Stove Was Utilized Suc
cessfully by One California
Apiarist.
I have read with interest Mr. Grein
er's method of warming honey, given
in a recent issue of Gleanings in Bee j
Culture, writes A. J. Burns, of Susardi,
Cal., and quite agree with him on the ;
desirableness of warming honey before i
being drawn from the tank. We used !
to have a saying back in Ohio, *‘Slow
as molasses in winter.” I found that
honey, thick as mine is, is so slow,
even in this warm country, that my
patience ran out long before the honey
would; and while my honey goes
through a screen with meshes six to
the inch in the bottom of the extract- i
or, to keep chunks of comb out of the
pipe that conducts the honey into the
tank in the basement. As it leaves the :
pipe it passes through a fine wire

STOVE.
screen, thence through u pretty heavy
cheese-cloth before it drops into thf
tank; and even then enough particles
of comb go through to cloud the honey
very much, and it takes a number ol
days standing to bring all this to the
top. Three or four years ago I finally
hit upon a plan that I like better than
Mr. Greiner's, which is shown in the
accompanying drawing. Mr. Greiner’s
tank, when full, weighs 400 pounds;
mine, when full, weighs 4,000, which
weight must have a solid, smooth bot
tom to rest on. I heat with hot water
which almost entirely obviates the
danger of burning or over-heating. In
brief, niv tank has a double bottom in
which are arranged a series of parti
tions, which, in connection with a coil
of pipe outside the tank, I keep a cur
rent of hot water passing continually
between the bottoms, much upon the
plan of a water-back and pressure
boiler used in furnishing hot water in
houses, but I don’t need the pressure
boiler.
In commenting on this plan the ed
itor of Gleanings in Bee Culture, says:
The plan for your honey-tank to be
heated with hot water is excellent, al
though 1 must say that I am surprised
that so small a stove would be capable
of heating or warming up 4,OOC
pounds. But if you have tried it, and
it works (and I have no reason to
doubt your word), then any one else
| can safely make one like it. A honey
heater like yours, or the one illus
trated above, would be a very valuable
| adjunct to an apiary, especially where
large crops of honey are produced
Generally speaking, an oblong oi
square tank is much more expensive
to make than a round one of the same
capacity. The same method of heating
could be applied to a round tank ar
well as to one oblong like the one here
1 shown.
THE POULTRY YARD.
Don't give the hens mash that is
hot enough to burn their crops. Wait
till it cools a little.
Keep something in the hen house foi
the hens to pick—some kind of meat
offal or cabbages. It will keep them
from learning the disagreeable habit
of feather-eating.—W. W. M.
Wise men are discussing the dif
ference between a fowl and a bird
One definition is that a bird carries
food to its young, while a fowl leads
its young to the food.
Hens need sharp grit and the fad
that they have a ground floor oi

too small or too smooth. Broken crock

Sifted barley meal mixed up with

food and produces a nice white flesh
Corn meal and oatmeal mixed up with
milk will give a yellow flesh and makt

GETTING CORRECT START.
Not Necessary to Begin with Elab
orate Equipment in Win Suc
cess with Poultry.
It is not necessary to build elaborate
houses or to have them furnished with
the latest patented trap nests, roosts,
etc. In point of usefulness, a plain
building, warm, well-ventilated, and
well lighted is to be preferred. I pre
fer to divide the chickens into
flocks of 25, giving each flock
rate yard, and housing all in or:
building, divided into as many r > ..s ;
as there are flocks, by putting in parti- ;
tions of wire netting with a two-foot
board partition at the bottom. An
orchard is an ideal location for the j
poultry yard, says the Orange Judd j
Farmer, furnishing shade for the fowls !
during the hot w’eather. and |
the fruit trees are benefited by the
chickens destroying numerous injuri
ous insects. Face the houses south if
possible and see that they have enough I
windows to give abundant light. Con- I
struct the nests and roosts so they may
be removed to facilitate cleaning and j
do not place the roosts so high that ;
the fowls are injured in flying down.
A walking board is desirable where
the nests must he high up.
To keep the hens laying It is neces
sary to feed intelligently and see they
get plenty of exercise. A fat hen will
not lay and if the chickens are com
pelled to work for their food they will
be kept in proper condition. I feed
all kinds of grain and vegetables avail
able. aiming always to give a variety
of food. A mash of grain, cooked vege
tables and table scraps constitutes the
morning meal; in the evening grain
is fed. Milk is one of the best foods
to produce ^ggs, and green bone
should be fed two or three times a
week. Grit must be provided at all
times and nothing is better than brok
en crockery. The chickens perfer it
to the commercial article, but for a
large flock its preparation would re
quire too much work.
Cleanliness is one of the chief req
uisites of success, so the houses,
nests and yards should be cleaned
frequently, the houses whitewashed
and insect powder used freely. Clean
out the droppings every day, oil the
roosts frequently, and provide clean
material for the nests. If this is done
there will be no trouble from lice, but
if filth is allowed to accumulate, the
mites will multiply rapidly and cause
no end of trouble. I change nesting
material every two weeks and when
putting in the new straw- sprinkle it
liberally with insect powder. A dirt
floor is best for the hen house and
should be raised several inches above
the outside level so it may be kept
dry.

the problem of feeding.

Training of Fowls.
There are some exhibitors at poul
try shows who claim that it is per
fectly easy to train a bird to stand
erect and he exhibited. The men that
make this claim generally try to carry
it out by practice. For weeks before
they exhibit their fowls they confine
them in coops similar to the ones that
are to be -used in the exhibition. In
feeding the birds in these coops they
place the food so high that the birds
will have to reach for it. They claim
that by this means they make it easier
for the bird to stand erect when it is
being judged.
