John Burroughs says that when a
bee brings pollen into the hive lie ad

deposited ami kicks it "IT, us one
might his overalls or rubber boots,
making one foot help another. The
honey bee ranks among the highest
of all insects, because of its thought

care shown its young. The young bees
which receive this care from tlis
working bees are called larvae. The.-e
lire of three kinds, found in thrt
different kinds of cells, and they are
called queens, drones anil workers.
The best time to htndy this wonder
ful insect is when buckwheat and
goldenrod are in bloom. If possible,
visit mine hive and try to see them
at work inside. It is very interest
ing to see a few captured bees thut
have been fed some honey "take a
bee line" for home when let loose.
This is the plan followed in the
mountains ami elsewhere when bunt
ing for wild honey. Frequently these
bee will return for some more honey
to the same place where they were
fed at first, as their instinct is akin
to reason, and Vhey always observe
a place so as to return to it. When
making room in the hive for a set

their usefulness by carrying the pol

PEN SYSTEM LAUDED.

In raising chickens, 1 have found the
"pen system," as we call it, the most
satisfactory and successful way of all
in handling the hen and her brood. The
system is as follows: In making the
fencing ordinary plasterer's lath is
used. The sides are ten feet long, and
the ends eight feet. The laths are
nailed to a six-foot base board, with n
three-inch top stringer, which latter
is a foot and a half below the top t nils
( f the upright. The sides and one end
are nailed to square surface posts,
which enables us to move the pen every
few days, when desired. One end of
the p n is attached to one post by a
small rope, or wire tie, in order that it
may be swung open in lieu of a gate.

light movable shed several feet square,
or a weather-proof brooder, to pro

Fowls always prefer bones that art
broken or cut (not ground) iaU sinal
pieces, with meat either raw oi
cooked adhering to them. The hem
do not care for the commercial bone
unless such is free from the odor ol
ammonia or decaying matter. Dry
bones, either broken or ground, wil
be eaten, but not so readily as tho:
that are fresh. Fresh bones are not
easily ground in any kind of mill
They are usually steamed, in order tc
render them brittle, or placed in th
