A Simple and Approved Method Of Rails
ing Queens Artificially.

A Simple and Approved Method Of Rails.
ing Queens Artiicially.
In the matter of rearing queens, there
are two methods, which we will style
artificial and natural. Artificial queens,
raised from artificial cells. Natural
queens, raised from natural coils, as
when swarming.
In raising queens artiicially there are
several ways, of which the following is
probably as good as any other, and can
be carried on any time during the sea-
son, from May to October.
Select a colony from which you wish
to breed, being careful to examine and
see that they have plenty of young brood
and eggs. Remove the qVeen, and, in
order to save her, take out q frame of
Matching brood and adhering bees at the
same time. Place these with the de-
posed queen in i new hive and in a new
location. You can build this up to any
strength by inserting frames of brood
from other colonies. The colony left
queenless will at once start a number OF
queen cells, visible in three or four days.
It is hardly necessary, in tbs hight
ened day of ours, to state that the young
queens thus forming are reared from
eggs that would otherwise have Matched
worker bees had not the queen been re-
moved. At the end of eight days tho
queen cells formed will be capped
over eight days more. or six
teen days in all, and these cells
will hatch out perfect queens.
Between the time in which the queen
cells are capped Owe and Matching time
is the time to make good use of them.
When they are about twelve days old,
cut out the cells, inserting each in a
frame of bees and brood taken from
some other colony.
BE careful in selecting frames of
brood not to getthe queen, as she would
soon destroy the cell containing your
Young queen. After having inserted
YOUR queen cells in frames of young
Matching brood and bees, place these
frames Zone in each hive) separately,
forming small colonies, generally
called nuclei. With each colony so
formed place an empty frame of comb
and a divis:o on board to contract the
space to suit the size of the colony
formed. You can, if you wish, take
frames of brood or honey iron other
colonies, instead Of the empty frames;
building up to a full colony, but, it
you have made good selections OF brood
frames this will not be necessary, as
they will soon multiply and increase
to full size. If you have beer success
full in your transferring you will have
quite q number of two or three frame
nuclei, just right for additional queen
raising. In two or three days the young
Queens will be out and in ten days
t,ey will be laying and ready for sale,
as "untested'' qucens.-1Me RouIerer.

A GREAT
Useful suggestions for Farmers DesirOus
of Fighting the Rat-Pest.

Useful Suggestions for Farmers DesirOus
of Fighting the Rat-Pest.
The question has been asked why
neither the National or State census
enumerators inquired how many rats
the farm averaged per acre, nor how
much grain per annum they consumed,
and how much time and money tho
farmer had spent the past year in build
ing against rats, in making repairs of
walls. foundations, cribs, doors and
harness damaged by rats. The Chinese
custom of making game of rats is in ac-
cords.nce with good economy.
1t one can make the Imagination and
stomach S o harmonic that rats may be
esteemed as much of a delicacy as
young squirrels or frogs, then we have
made some advance in the great prob
lem of food-supply and of utilizing Ill
the products of the country. But as
we are far from such a condition., the
question is rather how to destroy than
to utilize rats.
One correspondent drives the pest
from his cellars, stables and cribs by the
AN VI SOPPClao uAu WllllCN GSus I1C
mixes enough copperas in the white
wash to make it yellow, and then white
washes the walls and ceiling of the eel
lar n %sprinkles the crystals about and
IN their runs, and about the corners of
the floor. He claims a perfect stam-
pede of rats under such management. I
can recommend the use of cop
peras with whitewash as a disin-
%fectant, and for this alone it is well
to use it at least once a year in the eel
lar. But if one has the time and would
be very particular, he will find benefit
in the frequent use of copperas. The
family that will at least twice a year
clean out thoroughly the cellar, and
whitewash with lime and copperas all
the walls, hooks and corners, and will
keep the cellar clean, and barrels and
boxes off the floor, will not be troubled
with rats, or typhoid or malarial fevers.
Instead of inducing rats to come, as
many do, by leaving butter. fruits and
dishes uncovered in the cellar, let moth
ing be left uncovered for them to nibble
at or to regale themselves with.
Shut out the rats from the house and
cribs, and keep them out by carefulness
in not leaving things lying around for
them to get. Such care, with a good
cat or two, will make rats scarce about
the premises.
Rat poisons will be wholly unneces.
sary about the premises SO cared for. If
one is careful in building houses, cribs
and %piggeries, so as not to give favor
able quarters to rats, their numbers may
be diminished.
Piles of rails and old lumber make
harbors. These may. be broken up, and
the place made to look better, too, by
having u rack to set rails and old boards
against. Rats will not harbor in them
when set on end, so dogs and cats may
pass through. Pests and n%uisances
generally disappear before thorough
going neatness and order in all parts OF
the house and farm.-American Cuzti-
Gator.
