8ilag Cheaper Than Pasture.
Dean Mum ford of the Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture makes the state
ment that cowa can be maintained
mor cheaply on alluge tban tbey can
be carried tbrougb the tuuimer on
blu grass pasture, where tbe land
costs about 1 100 per acre snd Is suit
able for growing corn. Ue says that
there Is very little pasture land wber
a cow snd a calf can be pastured on
lesa than one nnd one-balf acres, but It
la entirely possible to get twelve and
one-balf to tweuty tous of allege from
one acre.
Sorghum a Good Hay,
Sorghum la considered one of th
most valuable f orate crops. It Is a
stronger feeding plant than corn and
will do better on thin lands where
summer months are quit warm.

Apiary Notes.
Don't use sulphuric acid for cleaning
beeswax, because It will burn the comb
uud take the substance out of It to
such an extent thut tbe bees will not
work upon It.
Bees won't thrive In a cellar where
there are mice or any disturbing in
fluences. It la well to partition bees
off to themselves where It la quiet,
with plenty of ventilation and llttl
light
During spring manipulations. In pre
paring bees for winter and at other
times It may be neewsury to feed them
for stimulation or to provide stores.
Honey from an unknown source should
never be used for fear of Introducing
disease.
Tbe first thing to he looked after In
making a bee cellar would be tbe loca
tion. Tbls should he In a side hill or
knoll sloping to the south where the
soil la gravel or sandy loam. By dig
ging Into the bank a cellar of suffi
cient size to hold the number of colo
nies comfortably can be secured.
A curious Interference on the part of
the honeybee in our economic ques
tions has occurred In the tobacco rais
ing sections of the country. They are
gathering nectar from the tohacco blos

plain that the honey la flavored In a

Appreciates Courte

C. C. Chapman, manager of the I
Portland Commercial Club, writes ;
to A. R. Bowman, president of the
Prineviile Commercial Club, aa fol-:
lows: I
"On behalf of our organization I j
desire to extend through you to the
Prineviile Commercial Club, our(
thanks and appreciation for the ;
many courtesies shown us on our

service rendered by the Prineviile ;

"It is simply common sense ap
plied to highway construction," he
added.
Not a topographical feature is
omitted in this survey. The balan
cing quantities of longitudinal and
vertical curvature are carefully
noted. This means that in the
building of the road not a shoveful
of earth will be removed that is not
to be used somewhere else in filling.
Mr. Hill has discovered that the
natural road for vehicle traffic is not
the straight road, but the highway
with long graceful curves. It is the
railroad with traction on a tangent
that requires the straight course.
And so this survey provides for the
easy curves both longitudinally and
vertically. It helps makes the best
of pulling power; it harmonizes
with and gives the best expression
to the scenic attractiveness of the
route.
But of more interest to the build
er, is the fact that each unit of labor
and of cost is accounted for.
