When swarm issues there Is no need
of raising a Fourth of July racket over

means accomplish his end as the Chlnec

after instance where he has sue
ceeded. There is just as much sense
in the performance of the Chinee as
in that of the bee-keeper. He
forgets that the bees, like the
Chinee god, have no ears and cannot
hear his sounds. Bees are susceptible
to vibrations, but can hear no sounds,
though they can feel vibrations.
Occasionally there is swarm that
will abscond without alighting. In a
case like this to throw dirt among
them, or use force pump to throw wa.

they can be induced to cluster at all.
When they are clustered it is best tc

again. If they cluster within reach,
when the hive is prepared for them,
shake in u basket and dump in front
of the hive which they are to occupy.
| To have piece of muslin or a sheet in
front of the hive to dump them on

them out of the grass. If for any
reason they must be hived where the

in the hive designed for them, then give
them a comb of brood; they will scarce

The Successful Farmer.

The successful farmer of to-day has
always little to sell. 1t may be few
dozsn eggs, few chickens, a fat lamb
or calf, or any one of Thousand and
one ,trifles that he and his family
always keep growing. The result is
that when he sells drove ofrcattle on
hogs, the money either goes into per.
manent improvements or into the
bank instead of to pay for fancy gro
ceries that were consumed the year be-

are very few successful farmers who
would make successful bankers, and
still fewer successful bankers who

June a Month of III Health

At this time of the year, and during
this month, in particular, the doctors
have their hands full-not that there
is necessarily more sickness in June than
during any other month, but our systems
are not quite used to the frequent changes
of temperature and weather which pre-
vail. We feel out OF sorts-nervous-low-
spirited. The appetite is poor-the blood
out of order. Sometimes a tirst-class
tonic, such as Browns Iron Bitters, will
promptly remedy the evil by purifying
and strengthening the system Many of
the best physicians prescribe this we'll
known remedy, which has been in use
for nearly twenty years. Particularly Is
it's action most favorable In cases of
weak and debilltated persons. ladies, chill
dren. and aged persons. For such It is
highly recommended by the profession.
Persons opposed TO taking patent medi-
cines are reminded that Browns Iron
Bitters is an old, reliable medicine, and
IS always beneficial in its action. The
nature OF its ingredients insures its being
perfectly harmless. After taking one
bottle the patient is generally very much
relieved
