Bees Swarm in Chimney 
Earlj' last Spring a swarm of bees de¬ 
cided to use our brick chimney a.s a hive 
for the season. It is covered with a tiji 
cap. How can I get those bec.j into a 
hive, if it is possihh*, and also save the 
honey that nurst be in the chimnev? 
IIow much 'hom'v siionld I put in the ..ive 
for them this \Vinrer? K. S. 
So. Hammond, N. Y. 
It is hard to advise how to conduct 
such .a major operation in apiculture 
without seeing the chimney and not’ng 
all the conditions present, but it is a 
pretty safe guess that it is not worth 
your while to attemiit to save these bee.s 
with thei” honey If the latter is within 
reach, or, if you are willing to tear down 
a jiart of the chimney, you can probably 
remove at least a part of the combs with 
their contents, but to tninsfer the bees 
to a new home tlius late in the season 
with any assurance that they will he able 
to maintain themselves in it through the 
Winter would be a job for an expert, 
rather thjin an amateur, and it is very 
doubtful if any expert would consider it 
worth his while to attempt it. Burning a 
little sulphur in the chimney beneath the 
bees, after confining the latter to the 
chimney, would destroy the swarm and 
enahh' you to remove the honey. M. n. n. 
Rat and Mouse-proof Corncrib 
In building tlie corncrib the first es¬ 
sential object is to have it the proper 
height off the ground, as a crib built only 
a few inches off the ground makes too 
good a harbor for rat^ and mice. Get 
some stout locust or cedar blocks about 
41/4 feet in length, and put them in the 
ground at least two ff-ct. This will make 
the crib 21/4 ■f<'(‘f from the ground. Build 
any size desired, then put oiie-fnurth 
inch nie.«h wire netting on sides and ends, 
also at the top, if one is not going to ime 
a tin roof. The above methf)d’will keep 
out every rat and mouse when arranged 
properly, and the saving in corn will 
more than pay for the wire netting in a 
single sea.son on farms where these ro¬ 
dents are numerous. This is a fact from 
fx()erieuce, and more valuable now, while 
corn is so dear. w. u. it.

Cheap Smokehouse 
We have been using a frame hiiilding 
for a smokehouse for more tlian fifty 
years, with good results. The building is 
about ICxlO, iuid about 22 feet in height 
(that is, from the ground to the top of 
combing). We find that it is necessary 
for the smokehouse to be quite high .so as 
to get the meat as far from the fire as 
possible while the work of smoking is be¬ 
ing performed. If not. It is very likely 
to get overheated froia the fire, which will 
sixdl the meat or give it a very disa.gree- 
ahle taste. It is arranged in tlie top so 
sticks about live feet in length can be 
placed, stringing frem five to eight pieces 
of MK'at f»n each .stick just close enough 
not to touch. We stnoke It until it is of 
a dark brownish color, ami let remain 
hanging where smoked (not putting it in 
bags as is often done by many), getting 
down a piece when needed; Nevtn* use tin 
or tarred felt roofing on a smokehon.se, as 
lioth draw heat, which should always be 
avoided. W)? find a shingle roof to be 
d'.*cidedly the best. Dirt floor is also ad¬ 
visable. We have the reputation of cur¬ 
ing the best meat in our neighborhood.

Sweet Clover Pasture . 
< *11 page llo2 there is ;in article that 
recommends Sweet clover as a pasture. 
1 ha.ve a very gra\el!y upland field which 
I wish to get into a permanent pasture. 
Would you recommend putting in Sweet 
clover according to the rules given? The 
field has been a very long time in pasture, 
but can he plowed ca.sily. a. s. t. 
Auuaudale, N. J. 
Plow your pasture at once, and after 
idowiug disk or harrow two or three 
times during the remainder of October 
jmd between November 1 and November 
10 sow 20 pounds nnhulled Sweet clover 
seed (white of cour.se), 10 pounds of 
'timothy and two pounds of Red-top; 
then roll twice, if possible, as Sweet 
clover wants a solid seed bed. A. B.

Keeping Sweet Potatoes 
'the somewhat striking mefho<l of keep¬ 
ing sweets described by H. F. . illenmey- 
er, page 115.“*, is sustained by the follow¬ 
ing: My brother, a farmer of South¬ 
western Missouri, dug his sweets one year 
and piled them in the field, intending to 
remove them at once to cover. Unexpect¬ 
ed matters interfered for a week or more. 
In the meantime the sheep broke in and 
one day he found them comfortably 
munching around his pile of sweet.s. They 
had not only chewed them, hut trampled 
them considerably. Howevei’, he Te- 
moved the pile to storage, and was sur- 
I)rise<l to find them keep almost perfectly. 
I'lven the injured ones kept for the most 
part. From that experience he evolved 
his suhsefiuent practice, as follows: Dig 
and pile the .sweets with the greatest care 
to prevent bruising. Leave them un- 
touche<l for two weeks or so, and after 
that they keep ixwtV^'rly under any or¬ 
dinary care. . f. k.
