The honey bee in Pennsylva nia during the past year produced honey to the value of $1,360,800 according to statistics just an nounced by the Pennsylvania De partment of Agriculture. It was one of the best years eve known to the industry in the State and the reports from all sections in dicate that there is a gradual in crease in the number of colonies of bees being kept on the farms and by orchardists throughout the State. It is estimated that there are 140,000 colonies of bees in the State and the average production per colony was estimated at 54 pounds for 1916. This shows a production of 7,560,000 pounds of honey which at an average price of eighteen cents a pound makes the production of the busy bees worth $l,360,800t it is estimated that there are 28,000 bee-keepers in the State. Secretary of Agriculture, Chas. E. Patton says: "Pennsylvania is next to the greatest fruit producing State in the Union cannot be without her honey bees. The bees are bo positively essential in the great plan of nature for the fertiliza tion of blossoms and the setting of fruits, and their value to the State amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions of dollars in an indirect manner for the owners of fruit trees, as well as directly to the bee-keepers, for the honey they produce. "Prominent fruit growers keep bees in their orchards for the purpose of performing their nat ural and important function of cross fertilizing the blossoms and insuring the setting of the fruit Contrary to the popular opinion, bees are not injurious or obnox ious in cutting into fruits and :n apes. They only suck out the juice from damaged fruits. Change in Prices. Wanted 8000 bushels ear corn atipl.10 per bu. cash. Rye want ed at $1.00 per bu. cash. Pota toes aifl.G'Jrer bu. cosh. Haruy E.

The Producing Cost of Eggs. "Eating dinner at a hotel the other day a traveling salesman lamented on the high cost of living and remarked that the farmers are now getting 45 cents a bozen for eggs in that very town," says L. W. Lighty, farm adviser of the- Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. "I had the temerity to ask this man of business what he thought those eggs cost the framer." "Why nothing," he promptly replied. "How would you thus produce eggs?" I again asked. "Why," said he, "the fowls pick up what would otherwise be wasted and the eggs cost the farmer nothing. " " As I am an adviser I prompt ly advised him to get 10,000 chickens and make his millions and get out of the 'slavery of the road.' "Who puts such fool ideas into the city peopls's heads? The other day I called on the phone an expert poultry farmer who has been in the business for years keeping from 600 to l,600chickens and asked him what it cost him what it costs now to produce a dozen of eggs and he stated it cost him in feed alone 62 cents to produce a dozen of eggs for the last month and the labor and the interest on the investment and insurance and the taxes he was trying to forget until condi tions improve." Feed Heos Hay. "These winter days when the fowls are confined to the houses, try throwing a forkful of dry hay into the house each morning," says J. T. Campbell, Farm Ad viser of the Pennsylvania Depart ment of Agriculture. "Clover is preferable, but any good bright hay will do, and use the leaves that shatter off on the barn floor. Note how the hens like this hay. They will eat many of the leaves and blossoms. "I find hens frequently prefer the dry hay to that which hsd been scalded and mussed over. This dry feeding is a great labor saver and can easily be tried ( n any farm where fowls are kept. The practice of using ear corn and permitting the fowls to pick it from the cob has much to com mend it. I have observed that the grains of corn kept on the cob till the fowls are readv to eat it has a more favorable effect on the vitality of the bird than corn which has had the germ ex posed to the air for several months." Bazaar. The Ladies Aid Society of the Burnt Cabins M. E. church will hold a bazaar at the home of Lemuel Cline on Thursday even ing February 8th.
