WINTER APIARY KEEPING TOLD Weak Colonies Expected Due To Excessive Spring Swarming It is time to be considering the problem of carrying bees through the winter so that they will be in the best possible condition for next year points out T. E. Birkett of the Missouri College of Agriculture in giving some suggestions for improving next year's honey crop. The winter loss of bees in Missouri is usually much heavier than it should be, and this is often caused by an attempt to winter small, weak colonies. In many bee colonies there was excessive swarming last spring Often several swarms emerged from a single colony. As a result, there are apt to be many weak colonies this fall. Each of these small, weak colonies should be united with a strong colony by the well known method of using a newspaper. Two or three thicknesses of newspaper are placed on the queen-right coli ony, and on top of this is placed the weak colony from which the queen has been removeo. The two groups are then allowed to eat through the newspaper, become acquainted with each other, and unite into one organization It is best to make a few small holes through the newspaper with a nail or the point of a lead pencil. These openings should not be made large, for if the bees get together too quickly the process is not likely to be successful It is important to see that no diseased colonies are carried into the winter Colonies that are diseased go into the winter with mostly old, worn-out bees that are seldom able to survive. The colony dies out during the cold weather, and in the early spring bees from all the healthy colonies round about come in to rob out the dead colony. Thus, disease is rapidly spread. It is highly important to destroy all diseased colonies. There is no successful method of treating disease and the only safe procedure is complete destruction. _ o— EGGS ARE MORE VALUABLE NOW Lights In Laying Houses Is Help To High Profit Eggs — Many poultrymen increase egg production during the fall and winter months, when eggs are relatively high in price, by using adtificial lights points out E. M. Funk of the Missouri College of Agriculture. While the exact relationship is not known, it is very probable that the exposure of I birds to artificial light stimulates II their reproductive organs to greater activity. A number of different methods I of using lights have been used with i satisfactory results. Lights turnI ed on at 4:30 or 5 o’clock in the morning give the birds an opportunity to feed early and thereby lengthen their feeding period. Evening lights may be used but some system of dimming the lights is f necessary so the birds will go to roost before the lights are turned off entirely.

more accurately adjusted by using both evening and morning lights. Some poultrymen give the birds an evening lunch by feeding them from 9 to 10 In the evening. It Is also necessary to use some system of dimming the lights when the evening lunch is given. A more recent development in lighting is the use of all-night lights. This system of lighting permits the birds to feed any time during the night. While artificial lights may not be profitable under all conditions, they have been used by poultrymen to increase poultry profits by bringing late-hatched pullets into production, and by keeping earbthatched bullets from molting ditring the fall and winter. They keep hens in production during the late fall, and bring breeding hens Into production early in the spring so that mere early chicks can be produced. To realize the best results from the use of artificial lights, the flock must be well bred, properly fed, and correctly managed. o CORN IN CRIBS IS IN DANGER Warm Fall Has Been Ideal For Survival. Spread Os Insects Urbana. 111.. Oct. 28 — Warm fall weather that has been ideal for the survival and spread of insects makes it doubly important that farmers maintain careful watch over corn stored in cribs, according to W. P. Flint, chief entomologist. College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. Some of the insects that attack stored grains have been taking advantage of the past two mild winters to survive outdoors and have become more numerous in the fields than is usually the case, he | explained. This is particularly true I of weevils and moths that attack | corn. Dry corn stored in a dry crib | well built and well ventilated is I not so likely to be damaged by in- | sects. Such storage also meets requirements of corn to be given as set urity for a corn loan under the AAA farm program. It will pay farmers to watch stored corn to see if insect infestation is developing, Flint said. Usually the insects eat holes in the ends and along the sides of the kernels. If a crib of corn becomes infested, it may be fed or sold. Since it is difficult to fumigate ear corn in an open crib, infested corn may be shelled and then fumigated in a tight bin. it is explained. Storage requirements of corn to lie given as security for an AAA corn loan are contained in a circular, “Corn Storage in the EverNormal Granary,” which may be obtained from offices of county agricultural conservation committees or by writing the College of Agriculture at Urbana. MULCHING AIDS STRAWBERRIES

Plants Should Be Protected Before First Hard Frost Mulching of strawberries in late fall, just in advance of severe freezing weather, is a practice that will reduce winter injury to the plants in many seasons, according to Monroe McCown, extension horticulturist at Purdue University. He cites recent investigations by George M. Darrow, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, specialists in strawberry culture and breeding, whose investigations in many strawberry-growing areas have indicated that much of the strawberry trouble ordinarily referred to as “black root" is the result of severe freezing of plants that have I not been prehardened by cool or cold weather. A‘severe freeze too soon after mild fall weather may kill plants ' outright or reduce the next crop to the vanishing point. This cannot occur when plants are properly mulched. Mulch applied too early may injure the plants more than cold weather. But if applied regularly and with good judgment the mulch is a valuable aid to more regular production of good yields of berries. The ideal time for mulching is from one to two weeks in advance of the first 20-degree cold. If there are indications of an early winter

MOTOR CARE IS TOLD IN BOOK All Electrical Equipment Requires Regular Attention Urbana, 111.. Oct. 28 — As electricity spreads to more and more farms in Illinois, farmers are turning to electric motors to provide much of the power needed for grinding feed, pumping water and carrying on other farm operations, according to C. W. Veach, assistant in agricultural engineering. College of Agriculture. University I of Illinois. General purpose or chore motors are being used quite extensively, he said. They are best adapted to leads that require more than one horsepower and for Jobs that are done infrequently or seasonally. Farm machines which are used as often as once a week give greatest satisfaction if driven by their ; own motor, provided that they do not require more than one-half horse power, in many farm shops one-quarter and one-half horsepowi er motors are being moved from I machine to machine to serve the | entire shop. i Relative to the life of an elect- ■ ric motor. Veach explained that I the windings of a high grade mot- : or should last from ten to 20 years. There are cases where windings have lasted even longer. Commut-

. ators, slip rings, brushes and bear- 1 ings are the wearing parts of the , i electric motors. Provided they are properly lubI ricated. bearings on motors used I only intermittently should last the life of the motor. The same holds for slip rings. Brushes wear away in a comparatively short time, lint they last a number of years and are easily replaced and installed. For farmers who will be using j electric motors for the first time. I Veach has prepared a pamphlet. “The Selection and Operation of i Electric Motors for the Farm," I which may be obtained free by ! writing the College of Agriculture ■ at Urbana. The pamphlet is written especially tor non technical readers to I acquaint them with modern equipi ment and to point out the advanI tages and limitations of some of the various motors. i the dates may bo advanced some- .; what, and continued mild weather might delay the work, although it is in unseasonably mild autumns that the plants get least benefit of natural pre-hardening and are in most need of mulch protection when severe weather strikes. In the northern range of the strawberries, mulching for cold protection alone will usually pay, Darrow finds. Growers mulch also to keep the berries cleaner and to conserve moisture, and they will find it pays to mulch earlier and gain protection from winter injury. In Indiana the most favorable time to apply mulch to strawberries is between mid-N ovem be r and Thanksgiving Day. WMHRaoBHananMKi WANTED RAGS. Magazines. Newspapers, Scrap Iron, Old Auto Radiators.

“APPLE JUICE” MAY BE SAVED Pasteurizing Method Is Described For Preserving Cider Geneva, N. Y., Oct. 28 — Even that popular, thirst-quenching beverage of the fall days and Hallow-e-en menus, old-fashioned “apple cider", lias gone modern and is to lie known in the future as “apple Juice," that is if the advice of specialists at the State Experiment Station here is accepted by fruit growers generally. The argument advanced by the scientists who have been carrying on extensive tests for the improvement of fruit beverages, including “cider", is that new processes of manufacturing and preserving apple juice now yield a product so superior to what the consumer has come to think of as "apple cider" that fruit growers would do well to discard the old term and label their new product “applejuice” in keeping with the terminology of othec fruit juices which are now capturing public fancy. . Devise Farm Pasteurizer I “For centuries sweet cider has ' been one of the most popular of I autumn beverages, but until recent years there has been no simple means of preserving it for use in other season." say the Station

FERTILITY MAY BE LOST EASILY Average Handling Os Manure Destroys Most Os Its Value In the avernge handling of farm | manure a large part of its fertilI ity is lost, points out A. W. KleinI me of the Missouri College of AgriI culture In giving some suggestions for curbing this waste. In addition to loss of value through fermentation or decay, manure is subject to loss of value from leaching and waste incurred by scattering it about barns and lots. It has been estimated that it would require an annual expenditure of SSO for each Missouri farm to replace the plant food lost by the Improper handling of manure. In addition, the annual loss of organic matter necessary to furnish the nitrogen to grow the average workers, who point out that recent developments which have placed upon the market a preserved clarified cider, while marking a distinct advance, have not preserved the real apple flavor of freshly pressed juice. Methods worked out by the Experiment Station now make possible the preserving of apple juice that has substantially all of the body, flavor, and aroma of a j freshly pressed juice. The process ' and the equipment, which can be I constructed on the farm at h cost | of approximately sls, are fully described in a circular available upon request to the Station. "Although the product obtained by this procedure is cloudy and consequently may not appeal to the eye as does the clarified product, yet it is of far better flavor than the very best clarified apple juice, and is in fact difficult to distinguish from freshly pressed juice," say the specialists.

I Missouri corn crop. The first step In getting the most out of this valuable by-pro-duct of tho farm is to reduce the losses of such nutrients as nitrogen, potassium, and the oxidation of organic matter through improper handling. The use of a liberal supply of bedding to absorb tho rich liquid portion will prevent tho loss of much of the nutrients. Fermentation, which occurs when tho manure is loose with an excess supply of air In the pile, causes i rapid decay and loss of nitrogen, i This loss of nitrogen and rapidity of decay cun bo checked by keep- | lug the manure moist and well packed. Another loss that frequently occurs is by feeding in waste places where the manure is either trampi ed into the mud or, it on sloping land, is allowed to wash down the hillside. This loss can be largei ly prevented by feeding on pastures or other cultivated lands, and by shitting the feeding to different parts of the field so as to get : even distribution. * Manure left exposed to rainfall has large amounts of nitrogen and potassium leached out, and much ' of its value is lost. This loss can l he largely prevented by hauling the manure to the field and spreadt ing It as it accumulates. It should , not be spread on steep hillsides ex--1 cept Immediately before plowing. Rains will carry much of the soluj ble plant foods away fn the drain- . 1 age water, or even wash the man- ■ I ure itself down the hillside. .... . LJ- ■■ ■ ROY S.
