Coazing swarms to Remain.

Twenty years ago New York bee
keepers coaxed absconding swarms to
remain by this method, according to the
American Bee Journal: We would take
broom handles and wrap rags on the
large end, making roll about ten
inches in length, and about three inches
through the center, tapering off small
er at the ends. The rags we would
saturate with melted beeswax. The
other end of the handle is sharpened so
as to stick In the ground. We used one
handle for every four hives. Nearly
every swarm that issues win cluster on
some of these prepared sticks. The
sticks should be stuck In the ground
about four rods In front of the hives.
The scent of the wax probably has a
good deal to do with the bees clustering
on the rags.

sTAMpEpEs OF MINING DAYS.

Alder Gulch, from Alder Gulch to Last
Chance, and thence to Confederate, to
Highland, to Silver Bow, Pioneer, Lin

one of the worst stampedes that ever
took place in Montana was to Sun river
in the spring of 1866. That was one OF
the coldest springs ever experienced by
white men in Montana. terrific bliz-
zard set in shortly after the stampede
fairly began for Sun river. No one
knew what had been discovered or
whether anything at all but rumor got
abroad that rich diggings had been
found, and nearly every man who could
rustic a small grub stake and cayuse
started for the supposed new gold fields.
At that day the country to the north
was not inhabitated, and the sufferings
endured by the stampeders were terri
BILE, Many were frozen in the pitiless
storm, few lost their lives, and to this
day few old-timers are living in the
state minus fingers and toes from that
fearful trip. 1t turned out also that
there had been no discovery of gold
made, which added disappointment to
the sufferings Of the stampe1ers, and
II the party who started the story of
rich gold discoveries had been found
then his days would have been speedily
shortened.
But no one seemed to know then nor

business manager. Besides buying and

there are the planting. cultivating and

machinery and a hundred other impor-
tant things which require intelligence,
skill and executive ability OF high

tails of the business to be carefully

Sheds for Sheep.

A sheep shed should have not less
than ten square feet of room for each
sheep, and for the larger Downs and
Cotswolds fifteen square feet is not too
much. They can be kept in less space
than this. because they have been. but
they had a chance to run out Of doors
every day and often at night, and the
shed was open on one side, but we
doubt whether there would have been
more profit in a less number or larger
shed, because there would have been less
sickness among them. Beside this
space should be pens into which the
ewes could be put when about to drop
their lambs, and yard to which only
the lambs can have access. where they
can get extra feed.

Save the Feed.

Bear in mind that this is the summer
season and that the hens are not COM
PEELED to combat the snow and cold of
winter. They do not require food to
warm their bodies to the point of re-
sistance to cold, and the food that was
converted into animal heat in winter
is easily saved now. The hens do not
require much aid from their owners at
this season, and if they are fed heavily
the food will be lost il the hens have a
range. 1t Is not only best to be sparing
