BEES FOR FARMERS.
A Few Hints for Those Who Contemplat
Purchasing Few Colonies.

A Few Hints for Those Who Contemplate
Purchasing Few Colonies.
The farmer, above all others, ought
to keep few bees. He need not keep
enough of them to make it a burden
or part of his business to care for
them, but enough to supply his own
table with honey-the purest sweet
there is. 1t is always handy to have
in the house. If one has never kept
bees, he will be unwise to go into bee
keeping rashly or extensively. A few
hints that may help some who are
thinking of getting bees are given by
Mrs. L. Harrison:
It is poor policy for beginners to
purchase bees in boxes and barrels, as
transferring is not the best kind of
work for novice. Better buy a good
colony or two, not more, of Italians in
a movable-frame hive. Every hive in
an apiary should be exactly alike, so
that every cover. frame ETC., can be
mixed up and all fit when put together.
Better choose hive first, and not get
half dozen different ones to see
which is preferable
Success in bee-culture is attained
only by the faithful performance of
many little items. Some persons
never have any ''luck" with bees.
WhyP One year the moths destroyed
them and another season the swarms
left while the hives were being
made ready, washed with apple-tree
leaves and salt. A person who expects
to make success in bee culture must
study their lessons well, learn the
habits of these Industrious insects and
their wants, and supply them. Last
year the honey crop was an almost COM
plete failure, owing to the severe
drought, and many colonies this spring
had not a days ration ahead. Let
there be a long continued cold storm,
and bees in this condition must starve.
Their owner must know their condi-
ton, and this is one of the good things
of the movable-frame hive. Bees con-
sumo stores very fast in the spring,
because of the rearing so much brood.
Scientists tell us that an insect in it's
larvae state consumes more food than
during the remainder of its life. If
colony is short of honey, the best way
to supply it is to remove as quietly as
possible to an empty frame, and insert
a full one in it's place. Where no
frames of honey are obtainable, feed
syrup made OF any kind Of sugar when
bees are flying. Little wooden butter
dishes make good feeders, as bees
cling to their sides and never drown as
they do in glass or earthenware, unless
filed with cut straw or shavings.-

Jerry:
Il think I'm safe enough to take that
horse at six hundred"
Every dollar is there, sir; and you'll
say SO when you draw the lines on the
road"
The well-dressed gentleman took
from his pocket-book fve-hundred
and a one-hundred-d greenback,
which he passed over to the stable
keeper, after which he jumped in and
drove off.
At night the well-dressed gentleman
returned, having had fine drive OF
about forty miles.
..Ah-got back, Ell? said Jerry, as
the gentleman entered his Office.
Eyes, strand / would like for you
to come out and see if the horse is as
good as it was when I took it. We
want these things all done straight,
you knoW-no after-claps."
Jerry was pleased with the well.
dressed gentleman's manners. He
went out; and, after due examination,
pronounced the horse as good as ever.
"Worth as much as it was when
took it, isn't it?"
Certainly"
"All right. You may give me that
six hundred, If you please"
They stepped back into the Office,
where Jerry passed over the two green
backs. The well-dressed gentleman
put them into his pocket-book, but
toned his coat, gave his hat brush,
and said:
''Good evening, sir.n
ssHold on,'' cried Jerry. ssYou
haven't paid me for the use of the
horse. SIR
Paid !-use?- of wbat horse?n
returned the well-dressed gentleman,
in surprise.
why, the horse you've been using
all day!'a answered Jerry, alphabetically.
Bless you, my dear man." said the
man with an affable SMILE" / have
been driving my own horse. ] bought
the horse, buggy and harness of you
this morning at your own price; and
you have now pronounced them worth
as much as I paid for them, and have
bought them, Id turn. of me. Really,
sir, it is legitimate transaction. If
you don't think So, you can consult
some legal friend. Good evening, sir"
And the well-dressed gentleman
went away, leaving our venerable
stable-keeper sorely puzzled over this
new problem. Jerry had hattered
himself that he was thoroughly posted

Mr.. Odell Bouton, of Stratford was eighty
eight years old yesterday. Though living to
an age SO great he is less fortunate than Or
binary mortals, in that his birthday, falling
on the Goth of February, has given him
through life but twenty-five chances to have
q good time, he having had no birthday at
all during three years out of each four. The
celebration took the form of dinner served
in the morning in the style of long ago, at
the house of Captain Wilson French of Clap
board Hill. The immediate friends of Mr..
Bouton and the friends and neighbors of Mr..
French to the number of some fifteen sat at
the table. 1t is impossible to draw the pic
ture further than to say it was reminder of
the realities in the social circle among people
whose hearts are honest and true. Mr.. Bou-
toms only sister, Mrs. Vredenburg, two
daughters and a son were present. Many
ladies and gentlemen from New Haven, and
the old people of Stratford who were physi-
calIy well enough to do SO called ON their

Notes.
Hallett is quite i'll.


The New Ravens have lost the last four
league games played out of the city.
By losing last nights game the New Ha-
vens are but one game ahead of the Hart
fords.
Churchill made two of the three goals in
New Bedford for New Haven. Connors took
four of the thirteen rushes.
In the last three weeks the New Ravens
have had but one nights rest. which is less
than any other team in the league has had.
The Hartfords play here tomorrow night
and the New Bedfords on Saturday night.
The New Ravens go to Waterbury tonight.
One of the reasons why the New Ravens
played such a poor game in New Bedford was
because Watson fell before the game and
sprained his wrist.
NeWcomb was more badly hurt in the game
with Meriden here Monday night than at
first supposed. Why didn't the Meriden pa
pers say frankly that Valiant; by one of his
mean tricks, hurt Newcomb, and not, as one
paper said, that "Newcomb was hurt in
some way or other"
The Boston Herald says Of the game in
New Bedford: 'tThe contest was good ex-
hibition, though the score was large. Ful-
Ter frequently left his goal unguarded, hay
expected drive The audience was very
demonstrative in its applause"
It is said that the New Haven directors,
seeing they are liable to lose the champion
ship, will release Hallett and make deal
before the week is out with Boston for the
release of Mckay, said to be the finest half
back on the polo surface, and with Hartford
for the release of Goal Tend Joe Riley
Bridgeport News.
The Hartfords have new suits. The color
is garnet, with eight very narrow white al
ternate stripes at the bottom and at the cuffa
of the jersey. Five white stripes also encir-
Gle the cellar. The letter s'H'' on the breast
of the jersey is white and is knitted in. The
stockings are of the Scotch knickerbocker
type, ribbed, and navy blue.
