How to Swarm and Hive Bees.

have kept bees for thirty'one years (;
have had good luck with them and a
great deal OF pleasure from them.
You have, no doubt, often heard bee
men speak of bees hanging out; or in
other words, coming on; on the outside
of the hive aud play there for several
days. | have had them commence max
Ing combs under the hive; for fear
should lose a swarm, have spent a great
many weeks in watching them.
Two years ago, | thought, as | was
watching them, could hear them whis-
pering and saying, DO give us a home"
So went and got an empty hive, and
washed it out with salt and water and
molasses, and set it close by the other
hive where the bees were hanging out I;
took big pan and a house brush, wet
the pan and BRUSH with the sweetened
water, then brushed the bees very care
fully in the pan and turned it up against
the empty hive, and let it remain there,
while | took the old hive away about ten
or fifteen feet. Then | returned and
shook the pan very gently, and the bees
all went in and went TO work like busy
bees, | assure you.
| made FIVE swarms in the same way,
and | never had bees work better Last
season had but two swarms; they came
out at the same time and settled on tree
close bv, and | hived them in the old
fashioned way.

French METHOD OF RAISING ToMA-
ToEs.-As soon as cluster of flowers is
visible, the stem is topped down to the
cluster, so that the flowers terminate the
stem. The effect is that the sap is inn
PEELED into the two buds next below the
cluster, which soon push strongly and
produce another cluster. When these
are visible, the branch to which they be-
long is also topped down to their level,
and this is done sue .essively. BY this
means the plants become stout dwarf
bushes, not above eighteen inches high.
In order to prevent their falling over,
ticks or strings are stretched horizontal
ly along the rows, SO as to keep the plants
erect. In addition to this, all the later
ais that have no flowers, and after the
fifth topping, all laterals whatsoever are
nipped off. In this way the ripe sap is
directed into the fruit, which acquires a
beauty, sze and excellence unattain-
ed by other means.
