THEODORE JOHNSON, President Ernest Eaton, Second Harold Lundell, Secretary "TT Sugar Sirup Needed in the Diet of Bees Supply Before Putting Away for the Winter. ! Beekeepers are advised by Francis Jager, chief of the division of bee culture, University of Minnesota, to feed a pail of sugar sirup to every colony of bees, regardless of weight, before putting them away for the winter. This sugar sirup should be made of two parts of sugar and one part of water, boiled for 40 minutes, with an ounce of tartaric acid to every 100 pounds of sugar. While the general condition of bee colonies is good, winter stores are of rather doubtful quality. The dark fall honey may be mixed with honey dew which is poisonous to the bees. Most beekeepers of Minnesota winter their bees in cellars. A good wintering cellar, says the bee specialist, is one which is about 42 degrees Fahrenheit in temperature, is dark, quiet, moderately damp, and free from mice and offensive odors. The bees should be put Into the cellar about November 1, or sooner if very cold weather sets in. Colonies with a good queen, strong In bees, covering seven or eight frames at least, and provided with 30 or 40 pounds of honey will usually winter well. The entrance to the hive should be left wide open but should be covered over with wire screen to keep out mice. Bees should be kept In the cellar until the pussy willows or soft maples bloom in the spring, about April 1. 10-pou- Farmers Should Plan to Save Surplus Roughage ; In time of plenty prepare for lean years. This is a suggestion offered by Prof. J. B. Fitch, head of the Kansas college dairy department, to farmers while they are preparing to harvest huge crops of corn, hay and feed. There Is a lot of surplus feed or roughage this year as a result of a very provident season, the dairy head g farmer reminds, and the will preserve as much of It as possible for future years. Farmers naturally turn to the silo as the best means of conserving the most feed ' for an indefinite time. And to the farmer who has not yet built a silo, the question arises, which type of silo shall I build? In storing feed a silo built above the ground is to be preferred. ProBut pit and fessor Fitch declared. are silos trench inexpensive, easily built with home labor, and they have proven satisfactory in parts of the state where drainage Is not a serious problem. Farmers who want informa-- . tion on building silos should see their far-seein- ' I county agent or write to the Kansas State Agricultural college. F. O. LUNDBERG, First Vice-Preside- nt J. A.
