BEE-KEEPING

PREPAVRING .FOR 1918

(Experimental Farms Note)

While a maximum production of

honey is of pressing importance in this war-food year; yet increasing the hees for next season must be neg- lected. , _ Roughly speaking. the bees that are ln the hives at the commencement of the honey-flow gather the crop, while the brood builds up the colony for next year. unless there is to be nn- other' important honey~Ilow. ’l‘lrir-. brood is very valuable for l'orrning nuclei, because these, started carly with R IWIIIZ uuet-rl. or ripe queen- coll, will build up into strong colorl- iss before winter, increasing in this way with brood from strong colonics during the honey flow is the basic prluci-ple upon wir-lcir_an apiary can bc _ quicklyy built up whi-le at tho same time lrrl almost full honey-crop is secured.

in newly-former] nuclei containing

brood in all stages there is always more or less dcsertion of hccs and consequent dcatlr of the young brood anti sometimes chilling and death of 'tho oltlcr brooti even when the nut-ici arc skillfully mario by an experienced apiarist. l<‘urthcr. Queens may not bc- irnrnediutcly olrtaluablt-r, or they muy be lost in production. Rubbing of the newly-forrnetl nuclei has also to be guarded againshbut during the height of the horrcy-flow only carlcssncss will cause' this; towards its end, how- ever. the dangcr of robbing grows so grunt that it is difiicuit to maintain rlcwly-fo»r'|rr-cd' muclci cvcrr whctr strong. Dcsertion may be' clrcckcd by stopping the entrance with grass; thc lrcesr ,will make their way out when fhograss dries and shrinks in about two days, hilt. cure lnust be takcn io avoid overcr-owding the confined bees. which would lend to stifling, espec- ially in hot. wcathcr. A good way to ovcrromc the loss ol' young brood is to place the hrooti over a queen ex- cluticr a week before its removal from the parent hivc. This may' bo done in the ordinary course of reliev- ing congestion itn the brood chamber as u means to discourage swarming, a, frame or two of empty comb or to foundation being placed im the brood chanlbcr when the brood is raised.

All of these risks may be greatly

nlinlm-ized as follows:--llnve all tht, quccn'g wings clipped (this is not cs- scniiall, and when rr colony of a -strain that it is ticsiretl to propagate swarnls, move the parent-hive to .u new stand. and place the swarm in an empty hive on the oltl stand. tht- queen' having been picked off tho ground and placed ilr the empty hive. The swarm will return to the new hive nt the ohl stand. The field bees \vlll now join the swarm, and the' sup- er should be tralrsfcrrcd from the pur- cnt hive to the swarm which \vill pro- duce file’ crop of honcy. The colony. no\v tlcplutctl of bees but rich in brood, is diverted a week later into three tq_ six nuclei, ouch nucleus cou- siaiing ot' two or three frlrrnes corr- taining queens soon to emerge with the iitllrering bees.

This method has thc great advan-

to divide the parent colony into too runny week nuclei. but this fault may be rectified In the autumn by unit- ing.

RATIONS FOR HENS

Feeders of horses, cattle, sheep and

hogs have claimed for years that thcsealriulrals must be [ed a "balanc- ed ration." Special attention has been given to balanced rations for dairy cows. By this is meant that one food constituent should, not be t'ed in cx- cess, while another is lacking for thc upkeep of the aninral‘s hotly. The pro- tein must be in a curtain proportion to the sugars, s-'tarches anti' fat in the food. Now the hen coruos in l`or her share in this scientific feeding.

Ten times as many eggs were pro-

duct-zi by hens fed a well-balanced ration as by those givcn only corn, wheat and oats ill an experiment tor.- ductcd by' the Ohio Station. Tile bal- anced ration consisted of tirrce parts by weigth oi’ corn anti' orrc part. of

The test po- riotl lasted for 140 days.

HORSE NOTES.

The first matinee race-s of the sea-

son held by the Charlottetown Driv ing Club were very successfully car-» ricd out, and rcflects great credit on its management. and the horsemen who participated.

The races were keenly corltestetl,

and the time surprisingly fast. Dun- llolme`s mile in 2.18 is the fastest -trotted yct. on P. E. island in a race. and he looks to be lt very useful trot- ter in his 'class the coming summer. liloth 'Millcr went a very creditable race. in fact the best since 1914, and Moth too should pick up considerable change the coming summer in his class.
