No practical method has been dis
covered for either preventing or control
ling natural swarming. We have been
told of the queen restrictors, of clipping
the wings Of queens or the Jump"
method, and how swarming is prevented
by extracting from the brood chamber,
etc. All these have some effect in re-
tarding and preventing the issue of
natural swarm, that of extracting from
the brood combs being the most effec-
tual. When an apisry is worked for
comb honey it Is not advisable to dis
turb the brood nest. A colony seized
with the swarming fever will surely
swarm, even though there is an unlimit-
ed amount of surplus room in the hive
1t is when the bees have this fever that
a method for prevention of swarming is
needed.
The queen trap is the only thing that
will serve the apiarist when he has his
hives all equipped with sections, and is
either away from home or very busy.
If not ready to attend to hiving swarm
when one issues, it will not be necessary
to do so II there is trap on the hive. If
a swarm issues from hive provided
with sections, the combs ought not to be
disturbed for three days, at which time
the queen cells should be removed, and
the queen that came off with the swarm
reintroduced. Any other queen will do
as well, and can be safely given the bees
If change of queens is desirable. No
swarm will issue from that hive until the
next standardization Apieulturist.

When the heads bend over and the
straw takes on yellow tinge it is time
to begin harvesting. If any doubts ex-
list examine the kernel. 1t should be
fully grown, plump and yet soft enough
tn be easily broken with the finger nail.
1t is best to bind as fast as cut and put
in stocks as fast as bound, or as soon as
possible. Both grain and straw ripen
better standing erect in the stock with
an upward ventilation among them
than when lying down and exposed to
the sun. Large stocks are preferable to
very small ones, as less surface is ex-
posed to the weather. Cotton cloth is
so cheap that each farmer should have
hay caps enough to cover his hay when
obliged to leave 1t out over night, and
be could then use it to cover the tops of
his grain stocks whenever he saw ap-
pearances that would indicate approach
ing rains.
If the grain is bound by hand, says
American Cultiyator, authority for the
foregoing, the binder should be in
structed to reject all large weeds in
making his bundle.
