The svarmine OF Bees.

'Do bees select their home before
swarmingP" is a question that Is OF at
least some Importance to the whole
bookkeeping fraternity. The loss OF a
great many swarms is vested here. ]
do not know whether all swarms send
out spies or not, but even inasmuch as
one swarm does, we will take 1t for
granted that all that swarm under a
normal condition will do the same,
though, in my opinion, they do not all
succeed before swarming.
For five successive years ! placed In
q certain oak tree a box or nail keg,
and every year except one there came
q swarm into these kegs and boxes.
AS was blowing corn or making hay
each season near this tree, I could 500
quito easily just about what was going
on during nearly all the swarming sea-
son. At first l would soc perhaps one
bee, after that the number would in
crease, and one not posted would be
very apt to think that there was
swarm in the keg. They would
usually protect and clean this keg
from one to three days before they
would take full possession; at other
times they would come in great num-
bers. and in due season disappear, in
which case they had been captured, or
found more suitable quarters.
lyan IN nf fUn
forty rods apart, and the same swarm
will hunt through both OF them, and
make their choice. l do not think that
there were any chemical changes taxi
ing place in these kegs, as Mr.. DEM
aree mentions, on page 456 OF the Bee
Journal for 1888. Nature does not in
tend to send the busy bee wandering
from place to place, just happening to
come across hollow tres or log. Let
any who doubts this do as have done,
and they will be sooner or later con-
WINGED.
Swarms that have chosen q new
home close by are very apt, when
swarming. to rise high up in the air,
and go quickly, never stopping to
cluster, as they have q string or trail
of bees all the way from the hive, or
swarm, to the now home; the less the
distance, the moro bees on the trail,
or the thicker they fly; thus the farther
away, the better are the chances for
them to cluster, for these bees flying
back and forth have quite an Influence
on the swarm. 1t was such cases as
these that so strangely induced me to
adopt the method OF clipping all my
queens wings; for there is no one
thing pertaining to bookkeeping that
puts me more out OF patience than to
have a portion of my swarms leave me;
for in so doing, there goes the profit.

Try It.

Three or four men were sitting on
the piazza OF seaside cottage smoking,
says the Washington Star. 1t was
evening. The stars were as thick in
the sky as freckles on a red-helded
girls face. The waves came in
the beach with a swish-swash-swos
just as they have done ever since tho
second day of creation.
More piercing than the song of the
waves were the notes and more multi
tudinous than the stars OF heaven the
number OF the mosquitoes that haunted
the piazza, and every one OF the m was
looking for blood" The men had
ceased smoking for fun. They now
pulled their cigars to keep the mosqui-
toes away.

A lamp was lighted, the cigars put
out, and all waited. In less than a
minute a mosquito had placed himself
on Toms hand and began operations.
Now" said Tom, and placed the
forefnger OF his other hand down close
TO the mosquito. 1t did not bulge. lie
placed his nail against the abdomen OF
the insect and whirled 1t around. Still
1t remained fixed.
"You can do it every time" said
Tom, as he killed the mosquito
and drew long breath.
1t is fact. Go and try it.

the son Of couple who were members
of theatrical company, were playing
on the bank of the canal in the rear of
the hotel. In some manner he lost his
footing and fell into the water. His
little comrade ran into the hotel scream
ing that Walter has fallen into "the
deep water" Thomas J. Carey, the
night clerk of the hotel, was doing IN
a chair at the other end of the hotel,
but he heard the cry of distress, and,
without a moments hesitation, ran to
the canal just as the drowning boy
went down the second time. He plunged
into the water without even waiting to
take off his hat, though he could not
swim stroke. He grasped the boy as
he came up and then began to founder
about to keep himself and the boy above
water. Others came to their aid and
they were helped out of the water.
Little Walter was quite unconscious,
and it was twenty minutes before he
gave any signs Of life.
Mr.. Lewis gave Mr.. Carey benefit per-
Torrance at the Redmond Opera House,
and the boy presented his rescuer with q
line gold watch as a memento of the
occasion. At the benefit matinee Wal
ter appeared for the first time in the
character of Nortier, and made such a
hit that he aas since appeared with the
company in the principal western cities.
This precocious youngster, who speaks

Oh, listen, little Dear Soul,
To the fairy voices calling,
For the moon is high in the misty sky
And the honey dew is falling;
TO the midnight feast in the clover bloom
The blue-bels are a-ringing,
And it's Come away to the land of fayn
That the katYdid is singing.
Oh, slumber, little Dear MvSoul,
And hand in hand We'll wander
Hand in hand to the beautiful land
OF Balow, away off yonder;
Or we'll sail along in a lily leaf
Into the white moons halo
Over a stream of mist and dream
Into the land of Balow.
Or, you shall have two beautiful wings
Two gOssamer wings and airy,
And all the while shall the old moon smile
And think you little fairy;
And you shall dance in the velvet sky
And the silver stars shall twinkle
And dream sweet dreams as over theii
beams
Your footballs softly tinSle.

Hawkeye Insurance Company

HaWkeye insurance Company.
From its organization in 1865 the
Hawkeye Insurance Company, of Des
Moines, Iowa, has made a remarkably
healthiil growth, and now it is recog-
nized as one of the strongest institu-
tions of the State. Above all, it is an
Iowa institution, controlled and man
aged by Iowa men, carrying all Of its.
risks on Iowa property. The Home
stead has yet to record an instance
when loss which they regarded as
just was not promptly paid.
The Hawkeye Insurance Company
has ample surplus to meet its demands.
The management is progressive, yet
conservative to such degree as to
make it sound and reliable. To the
thousands of Homestead readers in
Iowa we can recommend the Hawkeye
as one of the sturdiest institutions of
the State. Farmers will be benefited
by standing by home interests and
home institutions, especially in the
matter of insurance, when good and
safe protection can be secured from a
home company.-Homestead.
