only entrance to the hive. When the
bees are shaken fin a sheet in front of
tho Hive they must enter through the
sieve, nnd the queen will bo secured.
No sharp lookout has to be kept; In
fact, none at all, for whether ono ex
amines tho sieve in 15 or 20 minutes,
.Which is the usual time for them to go
jln, or flvo hours later, as I did with
(the last hive, tho queen is sure to be
in the slovo. All I have to do is to
put in the sieve, shako the bees, and
let them take their time to go in, and
tho queen is surely safe.
BAD EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE
Maryland Station Makes Interesting
Experiments Showing Injurious
Effects on Exposed Manure.
Tho Maryland station allowed 80
tons or manure to bo exposed to the
weather for one year and found that
tho amount was reduced to 27 tons at
tho end of that period. Professor
Shutt of Canada allowed two tons of
manure, containing; 1.938 pounds of or
ganic matter, to lie exposed during the
four warmest months from April 29 to
August 29 and found tho amount re
duced to GGo pounds, and the nitrogen
'was reduced from 48.1 pounds to 27.7
.rounds, or almost one-hnlf wnn lost.
,The experiments emphasizo the ne
cessity of putting tho manure on tho
land as boon as possible. It Is some
times plied up and allowed to heat,
thus destroying much of its value. It
must not be forgotten that much of
the valuo of manure and all forms of
organic matter come from its rotting
while in contact with tho soil, and if
allowed to decay before it is gotten
into the soil much of tho benefit will
be lost. Crop residues, such as corn
stalks, stubble, straw and all other
forms of vegetable matter, should bo
turned back into tho soil and not
"burned, as is the common practice in
some parts.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD SEED
Best for Farmers to Grow Their Own
When Possible Good Quality Is
Obtained at Small Cost.
Most farmeis can and should grow
their own seed grains. It Is n very
difficult nnd expensive practice to de
pend upon purchasing tho proper va
riety and quality from tho scedsniau.
With thorough preparation of land
and culture, and very little extra cost
of labor, most, if not all, the seed
grain and most of tho common vege
table seeds mny be grown ns good,
and oftentimes of bolter quality, than
seeds bought at twlco the cost.
As, for example, a certain field of
wheat might on the average bo to
tally unfit for seed, while somo parts
of tho field may be of a very good
quality. By a little extra effort tho
seed may bo selected from this small
patch, threshed separately and run
through tho fanning mill onco or twice
to remove all small and shrunken
grain nnd weed seeds. It may be best
to thrash out a few bushels of grain
with tho old-tlmo flail and hand pick
tho grain. After securing enough grain
to seed an acre a start with good
seed may bo had and the standard can
bo kept up by selecting tho best land,
properly preparing tho seed bed and
giving thorough cultivation nnd extra
euro in harvesting nnd threshing. Tho
same method should bo followed In the
selection of oats, barley and corn. Al
though tho quality of corn grown may
bo good, yet by careful selection of
the best cars an Improvement of both
yield and quality of grain may be had.
It will cost no more to grow a good
car of corn than a poor one. A good
standard variety will sell for consider
able more for seed. A Scotch gar
dener, known to the writer, mndo
quite a neat little sum by growing a
certain variety of sweet corn, lima
beans nnd tomato seed for a northern
seed firm. Ills sweet corn seed had a
largo sale and nt an extra price. The
winter is the time to select the seeds
for next spring's sowing. Take time
in making the selection; It is a profit
able winter's work.
CELLULAR FEEDER FOR BEES

Ave cuiupm luteals. The middle one
is the entrance, the end compartments
contain tho food supply, and the re
maining two compartments are each
provided with 250 feeding cells, which
are perfect counterfeits of the cells of
a bee comb. The food, which consists
of syrup made of sugar, is poured into
the end compartments and flows into
tho feed cells through notches, in tho
bottoms of tho partition walls. The
syrup only moistens the lower part of
tho cells, and tho bees, each one se

compartment to tho cell compart

DIRIGIBLE SLED IS NOVELTY
Boy's Ordinary Sled May Also Be
Combined With Handcar to Make
Motor Should be Low.
(By J. A .nUItaSTIlOM, in tho Scientific
American.)
Tho accompanying illustrations
show how an ordinary sled may bo
converted Into a dirigible sled, and
how it may bo combined with a boy's
hand car to make a motor sled.
Unllko tho ordinary sled, that Is
steered by digging In tho heels, or
dragging the feet in the snow, from
ono side to tho other, thereby check
ing tho speed of the sled, tho sled
here chown has flexible runners,
which may bo curved to ono sldo or
tho other by a steering bar, causing
the runners to follow smoothly In the
curving tracks. Tho sled should bo
built low and narrow, nnd the run-

ners should extend well forward and
rearward, which will materially add to
tho speed of tho sled when constlng
down a hill.
Fig. 1 shows an ordinary girl's sled,
which is mado into a flexible or dirigi
ble sled. The top part of tho runners,
shown In dotted lines, is cut off on
a level with tho seat and tho ends aro
fastened together with a transverse
bnr a, made of it on or wood. From
this bar, and fastened thereto, nro
bars b, ono on each side of tho seat
nnd parallel therewith. Theso bars
are fastened to all the slundards of
the sled. On the front bar Is fastened
a steering lever c, which is fulcrumed
by the rearwardly-extendlng nrms d
to tho front part of tho seat of tho
sled. It is now evident that when tho
operator wishes to steer to the right,
he presses the lever with tho left foot,
and vlco versa. As tho steering lover
Is thus moved, It will bo noticed that
It moves the transverse bnr to ono
side or tho other, thereby curving tho
runners in tho same direction, which
will then follow smoothly in the
curved tracks.
It will be noticed from the plan
view, Fig 2, that tho end standard is
bolted to tho seat of the sled, and
that the other two standards arc not,
so as to allow a free movement of the
runners when operated upon by the
steorlng lover
Two pieces of wood should bo fast
ened under the seat, a short distance
each side of the forward standard, to
allow for side movement.
