There are a few fundamentals to
remember in successful bee culture
says TrofeRsor Scullen. "First, (tet
standard equipment, that is, bare the
proper siie hives, made correctly,
with pubstantinl brood frames. Second,
have full sheets of wax foundations
for the brood frames, so as to enable
the bees to make an even and large
amount of worker comb for brood
rearing. Third, see that the bees are
poperly prepared for winter. Fourth,
try to discourage swarming as much
as possible. Fifth, keep colonics free
from diseases. '
"As the investment Is nearly $20
per colony, the beekeeper should at
least have 25 colonies to moke the
industry worth while. Ths can be
done by dividing the colonies at the
proper time, keeping young queens
at the head of all colonies.
'In the Umatilla and Malheur val
leys, the average amount of honey per
colony is more than 100 pound?,' as
the fields of sweet "clover and alfalfa
offer ideal conditions fo.' bees. The
shorter the distance the bees have to'
go for nectar, the greater is the
amount of honey produced."
Fur farming is becoming a recog'
nizod branch of agriculture and tak
ing a rather important place along
with other livestock production. Ihe

beaver and nmne varieties of rabbits
are now being successfully farmed.
and most of these are to be found in
the Northwest. One of tho latest
fur-bearing animals to be advocated
for farming operations is the Chm
chilla rabbit
The Chinchilla rabbit closely re
gem bled in color the famous Chin'
chilla squirrel, which Is now almost
extinct. Tho rabbit offers a source
of supply of fur to take the place of
the squirrel.
The Chinchilla rabbit Is supposed"
to have been developed in Serbia and
to have been brought to France and
England by allied soldiers who were
stationed In Serb!
World war.
This rabbit bis later been imported
to the Vnited States by rabbit breed
ers, who believe they see great pos
sibilities in this animal, both as a food
and fur producer.
These rabbits are ss essy to raise
as any other rabbit, and the meat is
delicious. The pelts bring from $1 to
$.1 each, with choice furs briuging
?10. With two sources of income
meat and fur 50 mature Chinchilla
rabbits cost lees than a pair of silver
fox, yet the net income is greater.
Ttese hardy little animals are so
full of life and intelligence that they
put a new meaning into the word
"rabbit" Iligb-ntrung and nervous
as they are, they quiet instantly at the
Tolce of a trusted keeper. The fur
cannot be imitated by dyeing, which
ansures a profitable return from pelt.
All true Chinchilla rabbits have thick,
dense fur. with a baud of medium

land on which the disease has appear

I FAVOR!
NEW YOUR. Tim. 10. A partnpt"
ulii)) plan which gives the employes of
an industrial property a share in man
anement and profits, equnl In many
respects to that enjoyed by the own
ers, is suRgcsted for the consideration
of industry generally In a report on
"Sharing Manogement with the Work
ers," issued here today by tho Kusscll
Sage Foundation. The report is hosed
on a study of the partnership plan ot
the Dutchess Blcachery, Inc., nt Wop
pingers Falls, New York, which, in
ii,. i; nf V,irv van Kleeck. di
rector of the department of industrial
studies of the foundation, Is "ono of
the .most ' significant of the Bovcrnl
hundred current ojperimcnts In giving
workmen a sharo In the management
of business." ,
The report answers in the affirma
tive the questions: Is it financially
snfo for a company to permit its
wage-earning employes to voto on
questions of shop management? T)o
the workers desiro to have this share
of responsibility? Lacking technical
training and cxperlenco in adminis
tration, is their judgment valuable
concerning questions of general pol
icy? Will they have consideration for
the interests of stockholders? The
further point is made that in this
case, when given power to determlno
policies, the employe! did not usa it
to advance their own wages and de
crease working hours regardless of
ths financial state of the business.
"The significance of this cipcri
mcnt in bo fsr as industry generally
is concerned," declared Misa Van
Kleeck in making the report pub
lic, "lies iu the foot that the partner
ship plan was introduced under such
unfavorable conditions In the Dutch
ess Itleochery that its success In this
plant indicates the possibility nf si
curing equally, if not more, favorable
results in almost any industrial prop
erty through equally sincere and effi
cient efforts."
Threo yenrs of cooperation nt the
Dutchess Hleachery, according to Ben
M. Selekinnn who made tho investi
gation for the foundation, has trans
formed a community of dilapidated
and unsanitary houses into a town of
clean, comfortable, and happy homes,
and hns at the same time revolutionised-tho
attitude of employes toward
production to such an eitent thut the
company earned comparatively high
dividends during two years when oth
er plants in the same industry were
idle becnuso of the business depres
sion, Tho report closos with the
statement: "Because of the. 'sincerity
of those who devised the plan in seek
ing a more democratic as well as a
more personal basis for hitman rela
tions in industry than has hitherto
prevailed and because of their cour
age In putting It Into operation, the
Dutchess Blenchcry 1ms acuioved a
place of leadership. We hope that
this record af cooperation mid part
nership between management and op
eratives iu the bleacherv may lend
to equally far-seeing experiments in
other industrial establishments."
The publication of this report re
veals that the Bussed Sage Founda
tion has had underway since 1U1D a
series of investigations covering, in
addition to the partnership plan nf the
Dutchess Blcachery, the Hockofellor
plan of omployes' representation as
practised in the steel mills and coal
mines of the Colorado Fuel aud Iron
company, the works council plan of
tho United States government arsenal !
at Kock Island, III., and the employ
ment policies of William Filcne's Sous
company in their storo iu Boston.
The report of the foundation's inves
tigation into the workings ot the
ltockefeller plan, of employos' repres
entation the next iu the scries will
be issued probably within a month.
