The latter part of April is a good time. to start an apiary. This may be done either by buying full strength colonies or small nuclei of two or three frames: each, or bees, brood and queen. By all means gecure the dark leather-colored Italian bees, as they are not only gentle, but are hardier than the bright golden bees and get through the winter in better shape. When the full colonies 'arrive, the best plan is to place them at once on what is to be their permanent stands. Remove the wire screen from top and bottom of the body, and place the bot- tom board and lid in position. With the nuclei the same method is follow- ed; but in this case the remaining space in the hive should be filled out with either frames with full sheets of foundation wired in, or better still with frames of honey that may be on hand. Whether the apiary is composed of many or few colonies, it is a mistake to place the hives where they are heavily, shaded by tree branches and leaves, While the placing of the col- 'onies out in the cpen where the sun's rays shine upon them may slightly increase the tendency to swarm, nevertheless there are certain sea- song of the year when the warmth of the sun is needed to conserve the heat of the colony. Proper ventilation ead shade boards will more than counter- balance the desire to swarm. All in all, it is best to place the colonies out in the open rather than in a shady 'place. Now is a good timé to make pre- parations for the harvest. An increas- ing number of beekeepers are giving up entirely the production of comb- +honey with its endless manipulation 'and its encouragement to the bees to swarm. Instead, extracted honey is 'having its day, as swarming is kept to a minimum when it is produced, Moreover the colonies do not have to build new combs for storage and can produce more than twice gs much ex- tracted honey as comb-honey, and at the same time require less attention-- a factor to be considered, especially where there are a number of out apiaries. - : Early Plants Out-of-Doors. .

R.: What is the bést way to fertilize strawberries and blackeaps? thoroughly for at least one seasons. If heavy dressings nure have been made, so better. About two weeks strawberries are to be about 500 Ibs. per acre o analyzing 4 to 6 per cent. 8 to 12 per cent. phosphoric ac 8 to 5 per cent, potash. One best methods of applying this izer is to drill it in with the fertilizer drill. If you do not to have this implement, sca fertilizer evenly over the gro work it in by careful harrowing and raking, If the strawbemries are one or more years old and the plants cover all the surface, choose a dry day as soon as the top covering of straw has been raked off and growth begins, and scatter fertilizer of the analysis recommended above, over the strawberries at the rate of about 300 to 400 lbs, per acre. For blackeaps or other raspberries scatter fertilizer of the analysis re- commended, down between the rows of canes just as soon as the ground will work thoroughly, applying about 500 Ibs. per acre. Work this into the soil by careful cultivation. S. W.: I have a field which I want to plant to potatoes. It is a clay loam but it is badly run. Can you tell me how much fertilizet to use to the acre, and the best way to put it on, and what kind to buy? Answer: I would advisa you to ap- ply 750 lbs, per acre of fertilizer analyzing 8 to 4 per cent. ammonia, 6 to 8 per cent. phosphoric acid, and 8 to b per cent. potash. If you are planting the potatoes with a planter, if you have the complete machine it will apply the fertilizer at the same time that the potato pieces are drop- ped. If you are planting the pota- toes by hand, when you have opened the furrows or holes for the potato pieces, scatfer a good heavy dusting of fertilizer along the furrows or into the holes, pull in a little soil over this fertilizer, then drop the potato pieces and proceed as usual. Do not drop the potato pieces immediately on top of the fertilizer. C. E. J.: What kind of fertilizer is best for city loam, also for sandy land? id, Pp) T T. R.: Will vetch (fall vetch) sown with oats mature so as to make dat and vetch hay? Will the vetch live through the coming winter so as to make seed that year? Answer: Your inquiry seems some- what complicated. You speak of sow- ing fall vetch and oats together to make oat and veteh hay. If you were to sow a& mixture of spring vetch or common vetch with Daubeney or Early Alaska oats you would get a mixture that would cut for hay the same year that it was sown since both crops are annuals. If you were to sow fall or winter vetch with oats it would not make sufficient progress to cut for oat and vetch hay. As a matter of fact if you are sowing fall vetch it is better to sow it alone so that the fall or winter vetch would have an opportunity to make a good head before going into winter. The usual amounts to sow are about 20 to 80 lbs. of vetch seed ito a bushel of oats per acre, or if sowing vetch alone use about one-half bushel-'of seed per acre. J. H.: I intend sowing yellow blos- som sweet clover this spring in the grain and in the fall plow it down for fertilizer. Will those roots grow the following spring? Answer: Sweet clover is a biennial, hence if you sow seed this year it will undoubtedly come up next year. However, if next year's crop is plow- ed there is no danger of the roots sending up choots again. Next year the crop will have to be plowed under before seed is formed or the crop will perpetuate itself in the usual cycle, The big thing for you to watch is to turn the crop under before it forms seed. started. The fact that the seeds are several inches below the ground line is one reason why they will not freeze. out. The cover is made from six-inch- wide beards, and is two feet square. The top is covered with cheesecloth or some other material that will let in the sunlight and air but will keep out all insects that might prey upon the tender vines. As spring comes on and the weather 'is warmer it may be' well to leave the cover off "when the weather permits. At night the protection of the covering will be needed. When the seeds are first placed in the hole they may be covered with a pane of glass until well sprouted, as this draws and hold heat better than the larger cover. As soon as the vines begin to reach the glass it must be taken off and the cloth-covered box placed over them, tafe = * Eight Essentials for Eggs. 1. Grain (scratch food) and ground feed (mash).
