In recent number of the American
Bee Journal j. L. Woodbridge. of Tex.
rs, tells how he divided his colonies.
He says: Last spring had only seven
colonies, and divided them early in
the spring, and took about 500 pounds
Of what / call first-class honey, and in.
creased from seven to twenty colonies.
all of which are in fine condition for
winter.
Late in the fall of 1891 / purchased
some select-tested Italian queens which
introduced successfully. l divided
them some time during March, the fol-
lowing spring.
OF course will tell about the one
that think did the best l moved this
colony just little to one side, then
put an empty hive by it turned the
entrance a little to the right OF what
it was before. and turned the new one
about as much to the left, with the rear
ends touching, and the front about
twelve or fifteen inches apart. Then
took about half of,the comb, honey and
brood and put them into the empty
hive, leaving the queen In her own
hive, and gave the qucenless colony

| in this position few days, then turned
| the backs little from each other so as
to make them front in nearer the same
direction. In a few days did the same
thing again, and SO on until they were
| fronting the same.
l had two colonies side by side, both
working as if they never had been
divided. OF course they were both
weak, but the queenless colony built
five queen-cells, and instead of hatch
ing one queen and tearing down the
other cells. as expected, she swarmed
with a virgin queen, but some re-
turned to the old hive. went and cut
out, as thought all the cells that
were left, but overlooked one, and the
next day they swarmed again. would
have put them back, but thought they
were determined to swarm anyhow,
and maybe would run away the next

THE ENGLISH SPARROW.
Indications That His Victorious March Is
Nearing Its End.

That His Victorious March Is
Nearing Its End.
News comes from Pennsylvania that |
the English sparrow is retiring before |
the advance of our n alive song birds
At meeting in Pittsburg h of the State
archaeological associa ton, DIR. Thomas
L. Hazard read an interesting report
on the bird population of the Allegheny
parks. In 1878 the park commissioners
imported seventy-five sparrows from
Philadelphia, and took such good care
of them that all but three died. The
three survivors manag ed to esca pc from
the shelter provided for them, and q re-
turn to their natural habits filed them
with health and vigor They began to
raise families and in few years there
were hordcs of sparrows, while nearly
all other birds wer. driven out OF the
parks by their pugnacious enemies
Lately, however, the sparrows seem
to be lie IS aggressive than they formerly
were Last spring Dr. Hazard counted
in the parks nine robins. four orioles,
several bluebir Is and other song birds.
There had been seen in the parks also
during the summer red headed wood
pecker, a downy woodpeckcr, flicker.
yellow warblers and several other rep
resentative birds of sweet song and
bright plumage Another encouraging
fact was that DR.. Hazard had counted
this fall in the parks Eve robins nests
In good repair and three of last years
slightly damaged. four orioles nests in
good repair and four not 50 gooS as
well as eleven other mes Is built by de-
sirable birds Of one sort or another.
This made total oftwenty-seven nests,
whereas two years ago he had been able
to and but two such BIRDS nests
DIR. Hazard is led to hope, from his
observations, that native American
birds are losing their fear of the spar
row, and that the despotic reign OF the
latter NAV be near its end. Although as
hostile as ever. the sparrows seem to be
growing more discreet in their attack.
At any rate, robins and other birds
esteemed for their plumage and song
appear in increasing numbers year by
wear. and show the disposition as well
MS ability to old their own. An inter
estiuQ statement is that some birds,
noticing that sparrows summed the
tops of high trees, abando ned the habit
of building their nests near the ground
and established their homes in lofty
perchea This affords an example OF
reason overcoming instinct in the bird
mind. If the expressions of the spar
row are to be checked by more pluck
and persistence on the part of othei
birds. the fact will be both interesting
and welcome. Rochester Democrat
