Moving Suggestions.
Farmer* wno have been to move will '
And the following suggestions helpful: I
In moving bee*, close the entrance with :
Hereon wire befort day. when all lieea j
will be Inalde. Take a atrip ofscreen !
wire three Inches wide and two Inches I
longer than the bee entrance, bend
over the end* *o that It I* exactly the >
length of the entrance, then bend the j
strip lengthwise Into a V shape, and j
push It tightly Into the entrance. This
closes the entranco and serves for ven
tilation. Ite sure thnt there are no
other openings left. Hun a baled hay
wire lengthwise around the hive, draw
ing and twlstfhg It tip gently. Hun an
other crosswise In the same way. Have
a wagon closo at hand with plenty of
hny, straw or small brush to relieve
the Jar. Hot the hives crosawnys. far
enough apart to crowd n partly filled
sack of straw, leaves or hru*h between
them and tho sides of tho wagon bed.
When all I* carefully done, hitch the
team to the wagon and drive to where
tho bees are to he placed. Unhitch
before doing anything else. Then set
all the hlvea In permanent place as
nearly a rod apart a* convenient. Take
off the hnled-hay wires. Place a wisp
of loose hoy, straw, grass or tine brush
close up In front of the entrance, and
open tho entrance about two Inches at
first. The trash In front of the en
trance causes every bee to take notice
and mark the new location. If the en
trance were thrown wide open, the
bees would come out too fast, and soon
find themselves lost In midair; and If
not too for removed from the original
place, would go back and find them
selves homeless. Move bees In the cool
of the day, Klther a single queen or
a carload of stands can he transported
with ease and safety.
Is very hard to detect the dlaease on
young plants when pulled from the bed,
therefore tnsny dlseaaed plants are aet
In the field and continue the spread of
stem rot. It Is necessary, then, to have
i seed potatoes free from disease, and
| theao civil be secured by growing seed
from vine cuttings on new land or In
| selecting the seed In tho field at time of
| digging. In selecting the seed each hill
should be tested by splitting the stein,
! and If no black streaks appear the p>-
| tatoes may be used for seed. This ae-
I lection should be done before frost hna
blackened the jlnes. The seed potatoes
should be placed In the stdrage house
separate'from other potatoes.
Dipping Seed. -In the spring at bed
dlnf time the need potatoes should be
i dipped for 5 to lO.mlnutes In a solution
of corrosive sublimate, made by dis
solving one ounce In eight gallona of
water. The solution should be placed
| In n wooden container, such as a keg
'or barrel, and the potatoes may be
dipped by using a burlap sack or a wire
basket. After dipping the potntoca
abould be rinsed In clean water and al
lowed to dry before being bedded. Tlila
dipping will not kill the fungi that may
be In the potatoea. but It will destroy
all spores on the surface.
Preparation of the Hotbed. —The use
of the same hotbed year after year la
probably one of the chief ways of
spreading stem rot. In localities where
! the disease Is prevalent the soil In the
hot bed should he changed every year,
ami the framework of the bed and
surrounding ground should be ttmr-
I oughly soaked with a solution of one
' pint of formalin to thirty gallons of
| water or a solution of one pound of
j copper sulphate to twenty-five gallons
lof water.
New soil or snud for the hotbed
ahould be procured from a field where
potatoes have never been grown. As
rich.dirt U .mot necessary for the bed.
aaiTd may be procureJTron) a sand T>»nk
and thus danger of Infection consider
ably lessened. The same- wagon or
tool* used In liauUng away Infected dirt
should not he used for hauling In new
aitod, unless Ihey have been disinfected
with,a Holutlon of formalin or copper
sulplMte of the previously
mentioned!
In localities where sweet-potato dis
eases are prevalent flre-heated hotbeds
lire preferable to' those heatud hy ma
nure on account of the chances tliut
the manure may have become infected.
Plscanled diseased notatoes usually
And their way to the manure pile, and
If any dlsrtkaed potatoes are left any
where ak'int the furm, Infected parts
may he carrli-d around on the feet of
chickens and other turm animals.
Crop Rotation. —Healtliy plants may
be grown hy careful fieed selection and
proper care In the preparation of the
hotbed, but If these plants are set In
soil that Is Infected with disease, much
of the effort toward control Is wasted.
Sweet potatoes should be set In new
ground or ground upon which potatoes
have not beep grown for several years.
It Is not known how long the fungus of
stem rot will live In the soil In the ab
sence of sweet potatoes, hut If they aro
not planted oftener than once In four
years the fungus will undoubtedly bo
greatly reduced.'
Black Rot (Black Bhank, Black Root).
JJlack rot Is caused by the fungus
Sphperoneina fUuhrlatum and may oc
cur on any underground part of thu
plant. On the |>otatoes the disease U
characterized hy dark, slightly sunken,
more or less circular si>ots, while on
the stems It appears as small black
spots which soon enlarge unfit the
whole stem Is rotted off. On the po
tatoes the surfnee of the diseased spots
Is of u metallic luster anH Just under
neath the spota the tissue Is green.
When cooked the potatoes are very bit
ter.
Control.—Black rot I* disseminated
In about the same general wk|S'a» stem
rot, but unlike stem rot It *liJlid* free
ly In the storage house If wndltlon*
are favorable. The funXiis jnny bu
spread In the storage house by handling
the potatoes, by settling In the bins,
and by files and other Ihsects which
may carry the spore* on their bodies.
The same method* of control used for
stein rnt will control bluck rot, em
phasis being laid on preparation of the
hotbed, proper selection and bundling
of seed, and crop rotation. Where
black rot Is prevalent the potatoes aft
er being dipped should be picked over
carefully, and ull that show susplclous
'ooklng black spots should be discard
?d. Treating the fields with lime, sul
phur, etc., ha* no effect on tile disease,
mid dipping the plants In bordeaux
mixture or lime-sulphur mixture Is not
to he recommended.
Foot Rot (Die-Off).
This disease I* caused by a fungus
called I'lenodomu* destruens. The dls
ea*e fir*) appear* a* small brown-to
black spots on the stein of the plant
near tin- soli line. These spots spread
very slowly, but eventually girdle th«
plant and extend 4 or 0 Inches up the
stem.
Control.—Foot rot is distributed In
the same mnnncr a* stem rot and black
rot, but unlike black rot It doe* not
cause heavy dnmage In tho storage
house. I'roper seed selection, care In
preparing the hotbed, and crop rotation
will aid In controlling foot the same ns
stem rot and black rot.
Scurf (Soil Stain, Rust, Jersey Mark).
This I* a disease caused by the
fungus Monllochaete* infusca'n* and Is
characterized by a brown discoloration
if the surface of the underground pari*
of the plant. The discolored areas may
be spots of varying slr.e and shape, or
there may he n uniform discoloration
of the entire surface of the potato.
Control. —The fungn* lives through
the winter on potntoes In storage and
on decayed vines left In tho field. If
Infected potatoes are used for seed, tho
fungus grows from them onto the
plants and I* cart-ted to the field. No
Injury J* caused to the plants In tho
lied or In the field, but the growth fol
lows down from the stem of the plant
to the potatoes. Dipping the seed a*
for stem rot will destroy all spores that
may be on the surface of the potatoes.
Deep, clean cultivation, crop rotation,
and the selection of disease-free seed
potatoes will aid In controlling scurf.
Soft Rot.
Soft rot la caused by a mold known
a* Itlilr.opus nigricans, and this fungu*
Is one of the most destructive disense*
In the storage house. Tho fungus ea
ters at one end of tho potato and grows
rapidly. With a high temperature and
* relative high hmnldlty a few days are
sufficient to destroy the entire potato.
The potatoes become soft, watery and
stringy at first, but as the moisture In
the roots evaporates they become hard
and brittle. When the nkln I* ruptured
while the potnto Is soft a moldy growth
appear* on the surface, The spore* of
the fungu* may be apread by handling
the potatoes, or they may lie carried
about rhe storage hon*e by (lie* and In
sect*.
Control.—Careful hnndllng of the po
tatoes when stored, no as to avoid
bruises, and proper management of the
storage ►trnw. a* recommended under
"Storage." will aid In controlling *oft
rot.

GROW PLENTY OF ROUGHAGE

The all-cotton farmer must pull fod
der or buy ronghaps, both very ex
pensive. Fodder pulling has a very
strong hold on the small farmer and
the all-cotton farmer. There Is not
any better way to break away from
this habit than to plant cowpeas and
sorghum for hay. Aa long as the farm
er makes no effort to grow hay he sim
ply must pull fodder or buy hay. To

GERMAN MILLET IS FAVORED
Most Generally Grown, Being Quite
Resistant to Heat— Bow In August
and Harvest In Fall.
IBy J. F. NICHOLSON, University of
Arizona.)
Most vurletles of millet cnn be quite
readily grown, although the yield Is
not n* great an In some cooler regions.
Tho ordinary varieties are nown dur
ing August and harvested during the
fall, German millet la most generally
grown, being quite resistnnt to heat

HOW THE BEES KEEP WARM
Those Inside the Cluster Which They
Form In Cold Weather Go
Through Vigorous Exercise*.
The bee upholds his reputation for
Industry throughout the winter months
as well as during the summer. Being
susceptible to cold, the beo must have
some means of supplying warmth.
It was found by experiment that on
ly the shell of the cluster made by the
bees In cold weather is compact. This
is formed by one of several layers of
bees all solidly arranged with their
heads Inward, their hairs Interlacing.
This arrangement Is perfect for con
servation of the heat within. Except
for an occasional shift of positions
the bees forming the shell are quiet.
Itut within the shell strange things are
going on.
It Is here that the heat Is generated.
And the antics are not unlike our own
when wejire cold.
The bees are packed loosely within
tho shell so that there Is plenty of
space for many bees to be exercising
at a time. Rapid fanning of the wings,
shaking the body from side to side,
rapid breathing and other movements
are all part of the scheme for raising
the temperature.
In one particular Instance, when a
bee had been rapidly fanning with his
wings for seven and a half minutes,
the thermometer nearest lilin rose half
u degree, Fahrenheit. .
WARMTH IS FOUND IN SNOW
Without Its Protection In Winter Tim
ber Supplies of the Northern Areas
Would Disappear.
Few of our readers would credit that
the absence of snow would double tho
price of timber. The grenter part of
our common timber comes from the
forests of Canada, Scandinavia and
Russia. All these countries suffer from
u very severe winter, says London Tit
-11l ta.
For nearly five months of the year
their surface Is burled deep under a
mantle of snow, and the thermometer

Snow is one of the best nonconductors
of bent or cold In the world, and when

If burled beneath the snow, rise to
about 30 degrees. The snow, there
fore, Is an enormous blanket, protect
ing the roots of the trees from the In
tense cold.
A full-fledged pine can stand almost
any degree of cold, but n young tree
ennnot do so. It might sprout during
summer, but a snowless winter would
Infallibly kill It If, therefore, snow
ceased, the enormous timber supplies
of northern Europe, Asia anij America
would disappear.

TABLETS 4,000 YEARS OLD
Writings Dating Back as Far as 2,000
B. C. Are Translated by Univer
sity of Wisconsin Professor.
A number of Sumerlan tablets, writ
ten at least as early as 2,000 B. 0.,
have been translated by Prof. P. T.
Kelly of the department of Semitic
languages at the University of Wis
consin. Of about thirty cones and
tablets translated, almost all were
lists of animals and men.
The Sumerlan tablets are difficult
to read, as the writing Is a combln»
tlon of wedges used In different ar
rangements to form words, and the
grammatical construction Is not like
that of any other language. Most of
the tablets are dated by correlating
them with certain well-known events,
such as the year a certain city wns
devastated or the year a king was
crowned. The contract tablets are
mostly lists of commodities, such as
the following:
"One cow (received) from Garkua
lah, the farmer; one cow exchanged
for the donkey of Nanlasl; sixteen
sheep exchanged for the donkey of
Nlnnuskanltlr; one gur. ten qa of
grata eatable* (bread) 1 (received) for
a sacrifice (sacrificial feast) of Rakl
glshnlka at Erech. The donkey of
Er-Erarashar was captured alive at
Shaduheblrunl, the year (the king)
devastated Haknurl."
Specimens en Display In British Mu
seum Seem to Be Also Rattler
i and Picture Book Combined.
Possibly a hollow gourd constituted
the first baby's feeding bottle.
Torn from Its parent tree, Its edible
Interior would have found Its way to
the stomach of It* adult plucker, after
which the hollow shell would be filled
with milk or other liquid refreshment
for the satisfaction of the infant.
In tropical countries, 'again, the co
conut would constitute a natural
feeding bottle, already filled with the
necessary nourishment.
Without, however, Indulging In spe
culation of this kind It may be noted
that the archaic vase room at the Brit
ish museum contains specimens of
feeding bottles—"tetlnoe," archaeolo
gists call them—dating back to be
tween six and seven hundred years
before Christ
These very early babies' bottles art
usually globular in shape, are elabor
ately decorated and are covered with
small knobs which, it is conjectured,
were used to hang tiny bells upon.
In short, the feeding bottle of those
days was also a rattle and a picture
book combined. x^
