AROUND THE APIARY.
Observations Made by a Wide-Awake an
Progressive Bea-K eaner

Observations Made by q Wide-Awake and
Progressive Bee-Keeper.
We recently made a visit to the
apiary of an old-fashioned bee keeper.
Some would call him an old fogy, but
in this instance we hardly believe the
term will apply, because he does not
insist that his way is best and that so.
called improvements are sham. We
will tell our readers some things that
we saw, hoping that some may learn
how not to keep bees. The bees were
kept on a long bench under allow shed.
Such a building furnishes an excellent
wind break for winter, but for sum.
mer use is very unhandy, because the
hives are crowded close together
which is confusing to the. bees and
often causes the loss of young queens
by their getting into the wrong hives
when returning from their wedding
flight. 70 be compelled to work in a
STOPPING position when handling bees
is a serious objection to shed. Having
several hives on one bench is objection.
able, because while handling one colo.
ny others are liable to be shaken
and disturbed The bees were all kept
in ordinary box hives, and looking
into several of these revealed the fac
that quite a number had died during
the winter, not having secured honey
enough to carry them through. These
were all sWarms from last season. and
consequently the comb was clean an5
bright. This, Of course, will be torn
out and made into wax, when if il
had been in the frame hives it could
have been used to an excellent ad.
vantage in building up new colonies
this season. Had the bee-keeper beer
a careful one, these late weak swarms
would have been united. and, if neces.
sary, fed sufff6c esltly to insure thei,
wintering. If the best combs were
now transferred to frame hives the
holes caused by the cross sticks would
frequently be SO large as to be obiec.
tionable- This bee-keeper, although
getting good many pounds of honey il
"a year, never realizes any cash profit
from it because it's made in large box
es, the very way in which it can be
sold to the poorest advantage. I'm,
proved appliances for the apiary are
sold at such reasonable prices tina;
there seems to be little reason in such
q method. Reader, there is not just
such an apiary in your back yard, i
there? Indiana Farme

WITH BLOODHOUNDS
The Alabama Outlaw Chased by
Picked Men and Fresh Hounds.

Twenty picked men and a fresh lot
OF bloodhounds have been sent to help
the sheriff OF Blount county, Ala, in
his search for the outlaw Burrows.
The report that another officer was
killed is not confirmed. The two
fugitives, supposed to be Burrows and
his partner, are making toward the
Tennessee river. They travel by the
high road and stop at houses TO ask
the way. Burrows has never done
this before, and some people suspect
that the two men are moonshiners who
have been doing bloody work in Biz
county. One of them lives in jackson
county, which is the direction in which
the pair are going. A special from
Birmingham, Ala, says Rube Bur-
rows and his partner have party OF
detectives cornered in cave in Blonnt
county. The party, headed by De-
tective Robbins, went up and after
chasing Rube oil day, took shelter for
tho night in cave. Next morning
one of the detectives, said to be Capt.
Josh Martin. attempted TO emerge
from the cave but was shot dead atthe
entrance by one OF the desperadoes.
The bloodhounds were also killed.
