| orally opposed 10 all the improved
methods Of bee culture, and we writ,
for those who believe in progress.
1t is presumed at the outset that yor
use movable comb hives, "a indeed you
ougi TO. if your hives have contained
honey enough for the winter needs o.
the bees. and not too much, healthy
stocks will usually be sufficiently lopu
lous TO divide when fruit trees are in
blossom. But every bee keeper should
be acquainted with the honey resources
of his locality. and the relative time
when each plant and tree will be in
bloom, that he may not make increase
of colonies just preceding a scarcity in
the honey harvest.
Three requisites to success are: |, a
| hive full of bees and brood =, good
honey harvest; 3. warm weather, dav
and night. These conditions being
present, examine your most populous
colonies for queen cells containing en-
bryo queens. You will need as many
sealed queen cells as the number OF
new colonies you purpose to make
and if not found already under way,
feed a few of the best colonies two,
taulespoonfuls of honey every evening
until they prepare to swarm. This feed
ing should be commenced two weeks
pe,ore you design TO alVlhe.

queens in sealed cells, operate first on

and shrubs with which am acquainted,
is to IA Sc a quantity of sweet corn and
leave it in small shocks where the
rabbits can feed upon it during winter.
They seem TO prefer this kind of food
to almost any other, and when they
congregate about the corn in winter, the
sportsman isafforded a good opportunity
OF trying his skill. ! have known young
pear orchards to be protected from rab-
bits by this simple and inexpensive
method

1t is sufficiently evident, however, that
during this process ali openings must
be closed, so as to prevent any escape
of the gas, and the greatest care exer-

operation until it has been thoroughly
ventilated.
