1t is claimed that Blaine's recip-
rocity treaty with Cuba will result
in large gain to the United States
by the sale of wheat, flour, petroleum,
lard, beans, manufactured products
and machinery, which are now drawn
from Spain by compulsion, and the
loss will fall on the monarchy across
the sea. Hitherto, owing to their
high protective tariff, our wheat has
been shipped to Spain, there ground
into flour and sent to Cuba at large
profit.

Bee Notes.

An absconding swarm, as the name
suggests, is one that has separated from
the cluster and is going to its new home
before the beekeeper has had an oppor-
tqnity Of hiving it. To capture an alb
sconding swarm beekeepers practice
throwing water among them in fine
spray by means of hand pump.
A hybrid bee is a cross between two
different races. All the bees except the
drones from an Italian queen mated to a
black drone will be hybrid. The drones
will be pure if the queen is.
Worker eggs are those that develop
the workers. The workers are Matched
from impregnated eggs and are laid in
small horizontal cells In size the work
ers are smaller than the queens or drones,
and upon them devolves all the work of
the colony.

Regarding Old Apple Trees

So long as tree has sound trunk it
is worth taking the best of care of it,
says American Cultiyator, and this in
cludes regrafting if the variety is unpro-
ductive or otherwise undesirable On
most old trees some free growing variety
succeeds best, as it is less likely to run
to wood than it is on its own stock. The
check caused by failure of the old stock
to supply enough sap for the graft dis
poses it to fruit bearing. Thus with ap-
pies the Northern Spy graft on any old
tree will bear in two or three years,
while young tree of this variety takes
very long time to come into bearing.
