combs are not heavy with honey, there
Il M kat weather to melt the combs or
sufFocate the beer, the combs are. tough
with brood, and there are bat cotnpsra--
lively few bees In the hives. Aspiring
wagon Is the best to carry them, but
!. lumber wagon can bensed ifa plenty OF
straw IL placed cnder the hives and the
driver is CAREFUL If the top of the hive
IL covered with wire-cloth, 1t Will afford
sufficient ventilation early In the sea-
son In hot weather both top and bottom
ofthe hive should be covered with wire
: cloth. The frames should be nailed st
{, the ends to prevent their slipping about.
When bees are moved only short die !
tsncc.v there Ia usually trouble from
their returning TO their former location.
If the distance that they are tobe moved
Ia very short, it can be accomplished by
moving them only few inches each
day; IL the distance is several rods. the
bees should be fastened In their hives,
then disturbed by drumming upon the
hives, after which they can be carried !
TO the new location. Before releasing |
them, however, board should be lean
ed against the front of each hive.s Then,
rs the bees come rushing out, they strike
their heatis against the board, WHICH
causes them to notice their new location
and take "bearings" as they leave for
the fields. Remove Ms many landmarks
as possible from the old location, and II
necessary, keep smouldsring, smoking
fires burning for a few hours upon the I
place previously occupied by the hives. |

LIVE Stock IN APRIL.-The work
horses now need an abundance OF
strengthening food. Keep the harness
clean aud soft. 1t is easier TO prevent
gals than to cure them, especially dur
ing this busy season, when horses |
labor is most constant and valuable. |
Many horses working upon soft ground !
are best shod when they are barefoot.
Cows need careful watching during this
season. When COWS time approaches,
the feed should be reduced. Look out
for garget and use the simple remedies
often mentioned In these columns. |
Ewes with lambs need an abundance OF
food, otherwise the lambs as well rs the
dams will suffer. IL ticks are trouble
some use dip of tobacco water, or
some one of. the several preparations
sold ian the shops. Swine need run, !
and may do much good in the orchard. |
If the poultry have vermin, use kero- |
sene upon the roosts and walls Of the |
honse. A dust bath is enjoyed by fowls. |

SHEEP, WOLVES AND Docs. II have
very good remedy for the killing Of I
sheep by dogs. Nothing provokes man
so much as to kill his dog. Whenever
sheep OF mine is killed i'm the pasture,
consider, for the sake Of peace, that II |
is wolves that have done it. leave my |
dead sheep where found it, and place
a lot of strychnine in il In order TO catch !
the wolves when they return. By some
accident find large number Of my
neIghbors' dogs lying dead upon the
premises. Ny neighbors lose their dogs, |
and regret that their good, honest dogs |
should be eating poisoned mutton that i |
had placed in my pasture for wolves.
This treatment has made wonderful
reform IN dogs IN my ncighborhood.
The large Newfoundland, the shepherd
and the rat-terrier have sole possession
ia my region. The spaniel has lost his
vocation there.-JoAn Wsntmorth, IN
