During moulting the best hens usually

young hens are preferred as tho MAR

Why do bees swarm9 is very simple
question TO answer. In the first place,
they are built on that plan, and, next,
when the honey is good, they com
mencc to rear queens, and few days be-
fore queen is ready TO "break her she'll"
and come ont, she makes piping noise,
resembling the peeping Of young chick
The old queen makes for the young
queen cell, aud will destroy the queen il
the "bee- guards" do not prevent her.
But, if they prevent il, the old queen
kicks up a muss in the hive, and the
workers catch the excitement and begin
to tillu with honey "brood food"
the old queen leaves, and the filed
bees follow.
TO preYent swaming, persons who use
the frame-hiye can do so by raising out
the frames and finding the queen.cells.
Cut them out, and there will be no
Swarming, if they are kept cut out.
This is the only preventive. I've kept
bees eighteen years, and can control the

Irrigation In Dakota

The United States Senate Irrigation
Committee, of which Senator Stewart of
Nevada is Chairman, held a session at
Sioux Falls, Dakota, in which statements
were submitted by gentlemen interested
IN irrigation. The principal speaker was
Professor Lewis Maclouth, President of
the South Dakota Agricultural College
at Brookings.
There were hundreds of artesian wells.
he said, in the valley of the James River
each including a large flow of water from
an average depth of 1000 feet. The
power thus obtained was now utilized 10
run steam presses, electric-l light dynamos.
mills and factories. An inexhaustible
supply Of water and of water power could
therefore be had in this valley by an in
crease in the number of artesian wells.
Some of the wells already flowing gave
out 4OOO gallons minute. II the yearly
dow of those wells could be saved and
stored in reservoirs, to be used as needed
SO as TO supply in the growing season the
deficiency In the natural rainfall, it would
add enormously TO the development of
agriculture and turn the entire James
River Valley into luxuriant garden.
One thousand such wells, Professor Mac.
louth says, would add S400 900, 900 TO
the value of the land in that region.
The committee saw the working of an
artesian well that supplies water and wa
ter power TO this city. -Four large hose
pipes were connected with the street
hydrants, and threw into the air a stream
of water eighty feet high.-Mv YorE
