Artificial Swarming.

William Hoyt, secretary of the Maine
Bee-keepers' Association, says: Shall we
let the bees swarm naturally, or practice
artificial swarining, is very important
question at the present time. Judging
from my experience, if / were running
my bees for box honey would allow the
bees to cast one natural swarm if they
wished, then stop all after-swarming if
possible. But if running for extracted
honey, by all means practice some method
of artificial swarming. | practiced the
following method with few colonies the
past season, with good returns in the
shape of extracted honey. About the
last of June, or just as the honey harvest
was coming on, would take colony that
was preparing to swarm, move the hive
two or three feet from the stand and place
new hive filled with empty combs on
the stand then shake all the bees and
the queen in front of the new hive, and in
about week put on an upper story also
filled with combs. This seems to satisfy
the swarming impulse, and these colonies
go to work with vim not to be excelled
by any natural swarm. The brood from
the old colony was divided up among
small swarms and queen-rearing nuclei.
I also practiced the following method
with few colonies with good results. 1t
was just at the beginning of the Eastwood
harvest and my object was to get as much
honey as possible, rather than an increase
of bees. At that time found few col
onies that were disposed to swarm, in spite
of anything could do, if | left the queen
in the hive. So removed the queen and
one frame of brood, with adhering bees,
and placed in hive, also giving two
empty combs. In about ten days / re-
turned the queen to the old hive, first ex-
tracing all the honey, and cutting out all
queen cells that had been started. The
queens seem to be benefited by their rest
ing spell and soon filled the hive with
young bees of just the right age to winter,
and by giving the nucleus swarms queen
cells and frames of brood they were built
up to fine condition to winter"

A Farmers Scrap-BOOk.

Not many things have pleased us bet
ter of late than the favor with which our
recent articles on fertilizers have been re-
ceived by our readers. We shall be still
better pleased to know, hereafter, that our
experience, as there expressed, has proved
of practical service in the field. For
after all, in farming, all things must be
brought to the test of practice, and all
methods must justify themselves by their
results in the form of profit to those who
make use of them. As one of many re-
cent pleasant missives, we print the fol-
lowing postal of a Tunbridge, VT, cor
respondent: "Dear Sir If your arti-
cles upon fertilizers were published in
pamphlet form, think many copies could
be sold. l have shown many of our
farmers the article in your issue of De.
cember ~, and nearly all say, Il would
give ten cents for just that article if
printed in pamphlet that I would not be
likely to lose.' Wish you would think of
this, and, if there is not too much risk to
run, try it." We must confess that we
hardly think it would pay us to reproduce
those articles in pamphlet form, as 80
kindly suggested by our friend. But we
recommend to all our readers the idea of
a "FARMER's SCRAP.BooK," which any
farmer might make, and therein preserve
newspaper articles which he consid.
cred valuable. Such a scrap-book, with
good index, would enable the pre-
server to review any subject therein
treated with ease, whenever he desired

SOME useful hints are given by The
american Cattle Journal with regard to
the care of sheep. 1t says: "Keep sheep
dry under foot with litter. This is even
more necessary than roofing them. Never
let them stand or lie in mud and water.
Let no hogs eat with the sheep in the
spring. Give the lambs little milk feed
in time of weaving. Never brighten
sheep, if possible to avoid it. Some rye
for weak ones in cold weather, if you
can"

by which it will remove the inequali
ties of the tariff will be by raising the
duty on wool.
1t has nowhere expressed a good
word for sugar. Had Morrison put gu
gar GU the free list his tariff bill; would
have passed Congress III ten minutes.
The Republicans voted against the
Morrison bill because it did not make
sugar free, not because it rednced the
tariff on that article.

to have cannot he obtained in the Dem

Smiling as he heard,
