For the Eepublical
The Honey nued.

From some cause, the bees, in some localities,
neither have they stored up so large an amount
of early honey as apiarians had expected
they would.
Probably the same causes operated 10 bring
about the SAME results.
1t is we'll known that when there Is a scarcity
OF honey in the fields, the bees refuse TO swarm,
they prefer TO remain BY their old, well stored
hives, rather than start out 10 seek a new home
when there is fair prospect that there vii be 4
deartn of honey.
II, when they are ready TO swarm, the fields
present 10 them an abundance of food, and the
state of the weather IS prOptious, the colonies
nav bc expected 10 cast their swarms But, il,
when the bees have made every preparation for
hive, and apparently ready TO take their flight,
storm of rain, or wind comes up, or the wealth.
er suddenly becomes cold, they will be more
likely TO enter their old hive and go TO work,
than TO start of for a new home
1t i sometimes the case, when the weather IS
very warm, and the hives are very full, the
bees will hang out upon the hives for several
DAYS without any intention of swarming. The
aparian keeps watching, for the bees to swarm,
bu; after time they enter their hives, 20 10
work and refuse TO swarm.
The frosts that occurred this season, in june
and July, probably injured the blossoms SO ma
terally, that the bees could gather but little hon
ey from them, hence they have thus far coec-
tel but a very limited quantity, and in conse-
qucnce of this same scarcity OF honey, the bees
have refused 10 swarm.
In some aparies, where the hives are small.
and oyerstocked, the bees have been obliged to
swarm, but where the hives are large, and not
o,erstoclled, they have not generally swarmed.
In the use of the Movable Comb Hive, We
may, if We wish, swarm the bees artihcially, aud
not permit them TO swarm naturally.
Ii We swarm them arutcially, We are not
obliged to spend our time in watching them, ex-
pectng them to swarm, and finally disappointed,
but We may go at the proper time, and divide
each colony, thus doubling our stock. Some OF
the colony, when they become strong, may be
again divided, and if all of them can be so trea-
ted, with safety to their future welfare, the
stock NAV be treblcd in one season.
Early in July, visited an apiary that in the
spring consisted of thirty colonies, in box hives.
In May they were all transferred into the Mo-
vcable Hives; after they had become settled in
their new hives, each colony was divided, thus
ru,Liuo a stool Of siy-- colnuia- In VuIy ,a-
present while the apiariln was examining the
stock, | assisted him in again dividing some OF
the colonies. We divided four in about three
hours.

had been examined, but presume that by this
time stock, that in the spring consisted of thirty
swarms, in old box hives, now consists of abou,
eighty strong colonies; all in new, and uniform

4 FALSE ASSUMPTION. - Among erroneous
ideas advanced by the Newaygo kepnblicdn, in
It's eager effort to write down the public services
of William H. Seward, Is its attempt 10 make the
Republican organization the property OF one OF
the old organizations The Republican party
owns itself, and belongs neither 10 Wings, DEM
ocrats, AbolitiouiSts, or Free Sellers, as such,
though many strong men from each and all OF
these old organizations are influential IN lis ranks,
and it Is for the general interest TO keep them so,
without raising any invidious distinctions what
ever. growing out OF antecedentS In this regard
we look upon the following from the Newaygo
RspuJlicaa, as in especial bad taste and mistaken
Judgment:
"The WilmOt Proviso, upon the principles OF
which i now based the Republican party, and
the passage OF the Fugitive Slave Law, which ac-
CELEBRATED its organization, were both events OF
public record before the adoption of the Wing
and Democratic platforms IN 1892, between
which, so far as the subject of Slavery is con
celned, there is no practical difference. The
position of Salmon Z. Chase, james q. Birney,
e. Bailey, John T. Hale, and all the leading
spirits of the old Liberty party was precisely the
same a. that of the Republican party now.
Chase is Republican from principle, Seward
from necessity. Chase helped to fight in the
heat of battle, Seward comes in after the battle
is won"

which characterzes this paragraph, never vii
