number is), add to my strongest COLI
onies combs filled with Matching brood
taken from other colonies, until each
contains the number of brood.combs
to be used during the surplus-honey
season.
When a colony swarms I hive the
new swarm on empty frames-the
number used depending upon the
strength of the colony-and place it,
on the old stand, removing the old
colony few feet away. After the
new colony gets we'll started in build
ing combs, say in two or three days
the length of time depending upon.
how rapidly honey is being gathered
Il remove all the frames and new
combs, except three, and supply their.
places with combs filled with Matching
brood taken from the old colony, be-
ing very careful to remove all queen
cells from the combs thus used, and
at the same time I remove the surplus
from the old colony, and place itupon
the new. I never require the new
colony to build more than three new
combs; and as the season advances 1
reduce the number of combs to be
built to two, and, toward the close of
the season, to one. furnish the old
colony with empty combs to take the
place of the broodcombs removed.
By this method nearly all the work
of the new colony is thrown into the
plus-chsmber, ell the working force
is retained in the new colony, and it,
is kept at its full strength by the!
Matching brood that was supplied from
the old colony.
After the new colony has been sup
piled with frames of brood from the
old colony, the old one should be re-
moved some distance away from the
new, thus throwing the whole field
force of bees into the new. If the
season is favorable, the old colonies
thus manipulated will become strong
enough to winter well, and with their
young queens, will make the most
profitable colonies for the next sea-
sons work. If some of the old colo
MES, at the close of the season, should
be found too weak to winter well, they
can be reduced in number, and
strengthened by uniting.
By this plan of operating we secure
all the advantages of non-swarming,
and more; for we keep the whole
working force in the new colony, and
we also get the benefit of the extra
energy always exerted by bees that
have swarmed.

love Its call. That voice Of dependence, de-

parent, however tender and wise, would wish
his child never to ask anything from him. 1t
would be very unnatural for child to say. !:
"My father has arranged all for me; he will
do his best, and need never tell him trou-

hear his child asking comfort in trouble, pro-

children to "call upon him in the day OF trou-

FOOD FOR CHICKENS.

The often-recommended 7ariety of
cooked food for chicks is q waste of
labor and of valuable time. They
want nothing of the kind, and egg
custard, baked cakes, and such foods
are not at all required. Simply
cracked wheat and rather coarse corn
meal, with little fnely-chopped meat
occasionally, are all that the chicks
need when they are confined in yards; |;
otherwise, the aforementioned will not
be necessary. The first few days after
Matching, the cracked wheat may be
stepped in water, but after that the
plain food only will be needed. Pure
water should be given several times q
day. The less fussing there is over
chicks the better for them.-New York
Times.

Dried Fruit Crop.

The California dried apricot crop this year
will reach the enormous total OF IL, 900 tons,
Or nearly double that OF any previous sea-
son. This is due largely to tho failure OF
growers to ship any fresh fruit E lst because
of the railroad blockade. California dealers
are holding for ten cents pound. but East
ern offers don't exceed seven cents. The
dried peach crop will also be much larger
than usual for the same reason. Large
shipments Of fresh fruit are now being made,
az the railroads are in condition to handle
all fruit offered. It was o great piece OF
good fortune for fruit growers and the rail-
toad companies that the season was so late,
as peaches and pears that usually ripen early
In June are just maturing.

ALCOHOL AND ANARCHY.

There is another great hot bed of anarchy
and crime in our modern civilization That
can never be passed by, or overlooked, when
We are considering the dangers that threaten
rs With universal destruction--the traffic in
drunkness. One OF the most alarming fea-
lures of the present age is the awful and
shameful fact that the fourteen most ciVi-
lizei nations OF the earth devote one-fourth
of their labor and agricultural land to the
production Of this demora;izing and destruc-
tive force. Forty-four million acres OF the
best soil God has given to man Is being used
to produce pauper-making, anarchy-breed,
ing drink, while multitudes die Of want and
nations stand back aghast before the deadly
work of anarchists. Rev. Louis Aloert

A VERBATIM COPY?

The editor of the Benson OASIS and Graham County Times, in stating that The Saturday Review garbled the rec ord of the loan commission, tells a willful falsehood and such he must have known it to be at the time. The Review printed nothing but the rec ord and the record is from the secre- tary's office. Why do we say so? Be cause we have visited that office and gone behind the returns that is. we have seen the original document on deposit, and it is verbatim copy of the same that is published by us. What you read in The Saturday Re view is true in this as in all other in- stances. We print only the record and will stand by it.-ISaturday Review.

ONE of the charges against the loan commission under Governor Murphy's administration is that several hundred dollars were paid for the ex- penses Of Colonel Christy, territorial treasurer, who went to New York to sign the bonds, and the inference is conveyed that they could have been signed in Phoenix and sent on. When signed they became money, and Wells, Fargo < Cos express would have charged money rate for their transportation, which would have footed up S2, POO or s2,6OO. By leaving one signature blank they were lncom- plete, without value and the risk of transportation small. By taking them to New York and signing them on delivery, Colonel Christy saved the difference between his expenses and the express charges sl, 400. to S4 ,000.

1.-THE GENERAL GOOD"

Gov. Mckinley comments the Louis
 jana sugar-planters for their patriot
 ic action" in leaving the democrats
 and joining the republican party. This
 compels new detination of patriot
 ism. The old meaning-the love of country which makes sacrifice of per
 sonal interests for general good must
 be rewritten, and the word defined as the support of the government for a stipend; the sacrifice of the general for the individual good. We doubt how ever, if the people of this country will accept Gov. Mckinley's new cOncep- tion Of patriotism.-lSt. Paul Globe.
 If the foregoing is a correct defini- tion for patriotism it certainly takes very limited view of "the general good" To the mind of the protection iSt 'the general good" consists of the sum of good to all the individuals in a community, commonwealth or nation; and if individuals are all prosperous, then are the community and greater aggregations of individuals prosper ous.
 All men are patriotic because they love their country; they love their country because they love their homes and because the institutions of their loved country protect their loved homes and their loved ones home shel- ters, and it's policy enables them to support those homes and provide for the loved ones.
 It has remained for the rainbow rhasers of free trade to tell the sugar planter who sees his property going to ruin, and the workingman thrown out of employment by the closing of a fac tory shut up by free importations of foreign made goods, that patriotism demands that the property of one shall suffer and the wife and children )f the other shall go hungry to con- tribute to the general good" an sphemeral and intangible condition no me ever sees or realizes.
 In time or great public peril, like | var, or pestilence, or other great and vide spread calamity, the interests of individuals suffer for the general good: | md men unselfishly and patriotically | mmolate self interest upon the altar 'f country. But in time of profound | peace, with prosperity on every hand, l md everybody doing well-as was the ,ase in 1892 patriotism does not de- hand that individuals shall sacrifice | personal interests to experiment. with he half cooked theories of a lot of | professional dreamers and builders of economic air castles.
 The American people are pure pa- riots, but their patriotism begins and inds at home. Men and newspapers ike the St. Paul Globe succeeded in eading them astray two years ago; ut they will not do so again in this lay and generation.
