n dozen varieties of red, black and

the fruit was mostly gone. The rows
in the cultivated part were all doing

The rnnirn of tho honey bee is but
little understood by the average per
son, ninny supposing that bees go
nillos for the uectar of which honey
is made. In fact, they go only a short
distance. If bloom Is plentiful near
to where the bees aro located, they
will not go very far, perhaps n mile
but If bloom Is source they may go
flvo miles. I'suaily about half that
distance Is as far as they may go
prolllably.
There are enses where bees have
tieen known to go eight miles lu
straight Hue, crossing it body of wnlt'
that distance to land. If while the
bee was out the hive should bo moved
only ten or twenty feet. It would be
hopelessly lost. This Is a reason why
hives should not be moved In summer
When hives must be moved lu summer
the work should bo done at night time
when tho hoes nro nil nt home, or on
wet day when they ure not (lying.
board or other object should bo placed
In front of the hive to mark lis new
location. There la uo doubt but that
bees urn guided by sight, and n!s.i by
Hindi. They aro attracted' by the color
of tho bloom and If they are nt work
ou a certain kind of bloom they are no
likely to leuvo It for another as long
as they can find that particular kind

Ileg:rd1ess of claims made by Ihe
heinlst for the high feeding value of
wheal bran, because of its albuminoid
oiitcnt, tho wilier has many times
been disappointed at tho results w hen
fed lo hogs. Kven coarse shorts given
In abundance fail to produce corre
sponding gains in weight. Some time
ago an American Kxperimeni Station
made a test with w heat bran as com
pared with Corn for feeding hogs.
t'welve pigs were used, divided into
four uniform lots.
The pigs varied in weight from for
ty-live pounds to titty pounds. The
Hrst lot of these pigs were fed a ra
tion of fermented or sour bran; the
second lot was given untreated bran;
the third lot had bran and corn meal;
mid the fourth lot was fed corn meal.
The pigs were weighed each week to
the end of the experiment. The above
nil Ion was fed for ninety-nine days,
and then ull the lots were fed for
twenty-one days more ou corn meal.
lluring the Hrst period the bran-fed
lots did not gain very well. -They
took on fat and growl h very slowly.
The average dally gain for the )! days
was, for tlio fermented bran lot, .til
pounds; untreated bran lot, .70; bran
and corn meal lot, ,7ti; and for tho
com meal lot, 1.0N. This was a decid
ed gain hi favor of the corn meal, and
showed that souring bran had no ef
fect ou lis digestibility and feeding
value.
The second period brought out some
points of Interest. When corn nienl
was used as the (lit Ire ration, the lot
that had hi the previous period been
fed fermented bran with a dally gain
of but .tit pound, now Increased at tho
rate of 1.1 1 pounds each day. Like
wise, the lot fed the mil rented bran
Increased from .70 pound ns a dally
gain to pounds. The corn and
bran lot increased from .7i pound to
NS pound daily gain; and tho corn
meal lot Increased from 1.0S pounds
to 1.,"S pounds daily gain. As long
as bran was fed the pigs, tho dally
gain nnd Increase wns small. This
was the case even when fed In con
nection wilh corn meal. Substantial
growth look place during tho whole
feeding period with the corn ineal fed
lot.
The experiment dearly shows Hint
bran is desirable us a food for pigs uu
der no circumstances. It Is too coarse,
nnd contains too much liber to be
profitably aud economically used. The
assertion that souring or fermenting
bran grently Increuses its value does
not stand Hie test lu this experiment.
In fact, little is gained by fermenting,
for during tho period tt difference of
but forty cents was tniido In favor of
the fermented over untreated brau.
While there wns n prollt of 4.11 In
feeding brau to pigs, tho prollt ob
tained by feeding corn meul was $8.0-1,
or ft difference of $1.3:1. This Is too
much difference to be a case of error,
and It shows that corn meal Is su
perior to bran as a pig food, and that
the latter Is for the purpose undesira
