Why 1t Should Not Hesitate to Profit by
the Experience of Others.
1t is curious to note how many ex.
cellent ideas have failed to bring forth
the abundant harvest of good thai
might have been expected Of them
simply because they have been urged
with more zeal than wisdom. and have
been quite divorced from some other
ideas which they needed for their full
contamination. The excellence OF
originality, for example, is much and
rightly dwelt upon. For &. man to be
himself, not servile imitation OF some
one else. to preserve his individuality
intact, to think his own thoughts, to
utter his own sentiments. to live his
own life, is certainly the noble and
manly thing TO do. And yet, if he be
so posses sed with this idea that he neg
leets to draw upon outside sources for
knowledge and inspiration-if he ig-
nores excellencies which he does not
possess and disdains to profit by the
characters ana examples OF others-his
life will probably be SO meager and
Door that it viii hardly be worth the
living. There is nothing in literature
more despicable than plagiarism; yet
the author who should on this account
cease to read, refuse to obtain informa-
ton from trustworthy sources, and de-
cline to ponder the thoughts of great

The experiments of Y. Tassinari will

pended from a loop of platinum a small
piece OF linen. At one end of this
cigar holder was a plug of cotton wool
acting as a smoke filter. A cigar was
placed in the other end, lighted and
smoked secuaduna drtsrn, the mouth
of the smoker being attached to the
filtering end. By this arrange
ment the piece of linen was sur
rounded by dense cloud OF tobacco
smoke. At the end Of half an hour,
during which three and half to four
grammes (about one-eighth OF al
ounce) of tobacco was smoked. the
chamber was opened and the linen al
lowed to fail into a test tube contain
ing fluid gelatine in which were plant
ed colonies of seven varieties Of patho-
genie microbia, including those OF chol-
era, anthrax Chicken cholera), and
pneumonia. In every instance there
was marked delay in the development

ABOUT WORKER COMBS.
One of the Important Points in the Man
agement Of Bees.


One OF the most necessary things in
managing bees is to have plenty of
straight worker combs. These are
combs containing no drone cells, con-
sequently the bees Matched from them
will be workers instead of drones. By
using foundation, which is the machine
made backbone of the comb, with the
base OF the cells impressed on each side
OF the sheet of bceswax of which it is
composed, you will insure these combs
in the brood chamber; but as this costs
about ten cents per sheet large enough
for brood comb, it becomes desirable
to know how to get brood combs without
cash outlay.
Quite frequently we have several
queens hatch out at once and desire to
save some OF them, so we take frames
of Matching brood from colony and
put the young queen with the brood in
new hive, making the hive small
enough by means of division board
By the time the young queen has ~een
out and met the drone, most OF this
brood viii be Matched and will want
something to do in the hive. Then is
the time to put an empty frame with a
comb guide OF wood or wax on the I'M
derside of the top bar, into the hive.
between the two combs which had
brood in them. The desire to increase
will be so great that the young bees, il
some honey is coming in, will proceed
to build nice straight worker comb IL
that frame. which when pretty vel
filed can be removed and replaced
with another empty frame, The honey
they gather in making combs is thu:
| used until. at the end of the season, you
will find that these weak colonies which
were never strong enough to store any
thing in sections. have yielded a fail
return in brood combs for next season
use.
Care must be taken in working 10
combs only, that you do not ALLOW
much room for BROOD, yet you must al
| low them to raise some brood or the

he surprised how fast these section
will be filed with honey. One OF tn

raising worker combs instead OF honey
and if a colony divided into three in tn

combs in the season, which is fair e.
