CARE OF BEcs IN AC0rSr.

I, is we'll in this month to examine
nil hives that have swarmed, and
those containing second swarms, to
be sure that the young Queens. which
both must contain if they have any,
have become fertile and are all right.
Many young queens are lost when
flying for fertilization, and as they
fly at time when there il no young
brood in the hive, the colony ia ruin
ed if they are lost.
The presence Of brood in movable
comb hives ia proof that the queen is
there and fertile but it is often necess-
airy to change full combs for empty
ones, in order to give her room to
deposit her eggs. Often, in an
abundant yield Of honey, we have
seen hives 80 packed in the stores
that not All empty ccll was ready
for the use Of the queen when she be-
came fertile.
If there is no brood you mist give
them at once a royal cell, or frame
ef eggs and nncapped larvae from
some more fortunate hive. If it is
not strong, however, it is BEST TO unite
it with some other that is not large
Bees will unite at once and peaceably,
it either colony is without Il queen.
This month is good one in which
to Italianize bees. Many think that
better colored and more vigorous
queens can be reared now than al
any time. We have sometimes
thought that this was true, but OF
one thing are sure that queens reared
In colonies where honey is plenty are
as rule better than those raised in
nucleus hives. In this month the
loss of queen for few days is moi
of so much consequence to a colony
rs in the cary months. The old one
can be removed aud replaced by a
young Italian. without serious dis
turbance. There is some trouble,
but no one need undertake to make
hee-keering pay unless they a'c
willing to be at some expense anu

Domestic Recipes.

TO CURE a DOG OF EGG SUCKING.
The best way is to pick hole in
the egg and put in some Cayenne
pepper in it, and he will never suck
any more, and he will be very apt to
run afterward. Or little arsenic in
place Of pepper is also good.
TO GET RID OF RATS:: \.
Remove as much as possible all
