reaching signs OF a native habitation,
pushed forward and captured two VIII

The sailors occupied these two villages
throughout the following night, placing
the machine guns at points Of vantage,
and thus making themselves practically
secure from attack. But the loss or the
water supply and spare ammunition
made Capt Gamble decide 10 return to

the column was on its way back when
the sailors were suddenly attacked on

While there may not be much in a
name the Stockman and Farmer thinks
the idea of giving an appropriate name
to a farm is Of considerable Importance.
To strangers catchy name for a farm
ers home has often a great deal Of
weight 1t indicates that the owner Of a
place at least takes some pride in his
calling and surroundings. Breeders have
found that appropriate names for their
herds and focks have great value. the
names thus adopted becoming sort of
trade mark which is recognized by the
public as indicating character and stand
ing. 1t is true that sometimes inappro-
pirate names are applied and false i'm
pressions are made by adopting names
that indicate the opposite from what
they should. but this should not con-
denim the system.
AS TO naming the homes of those who
make no pretensiOn toward breeding fine
stock or farming out of the ordinary
way there is much to recommend il.
In the first place it costs nothing.
No harm is done if no good should come
from il. Names may be chosen that
aptly express some condition or sur
rounding. Pride in a home may be en-
cOuraged and attachments for "A place
may be strengthened by this means that
might leave Il lasting impression on all
who are interested. 1t may be an in
centive To more thorough work and
greater advancement in the line Of prog

One Of the simplest methods to remove

increasing the Number of bees.

\ veteran bee-keeper Mr.. +. 5. Mead
gives good advice in the following
The time Of the year is about here
when beekeeper begin TO think and plan
for the coming season. Perhaps some
who are beginners, or who have only
n few colonies. have found them quite
profitable during the past season. and
are thinking Of increasing them largely.
Now it will be best for the most Of rs
to go slow.
The past season has been a good one in
most places. and / have just such
thoughts the above i'm my head. But
have never known more than one or
two beekeepecs to be successful who
have gone into the business on a large
scale at first Nearly every one fails
and gives it up sooner or later. There is
no more sure foundation for success in
any business than to let il Increase with
ones experience.
] have kept bees for several years. In
fact, all my life nearly. and have "fiz-
Zled" clear out several times. But of
late years we have made them quite prof
liable. I do not think the seasons have
been any better than they used TO be.
and the bee journals claim they have
been growing worse until last year. But
by adopting the improved methods Of
beekeeping combined with considerable
experience we have been able TO make
them pay We have never allowed them
to increase very much. 1t Is uphill
business to have lot of colonies to feed
in the fall. but I don't believe there was
ever a much better time to increase
largely than at the present. Should we
have 10 feed largely. we can buy sugar
very cheap. and bee fixtures are seem
ingly as low as they can be made. But
should the next season be a failure,
everything will combine To heap mp a
big expense TO get them i'm good shape

US at least, to go slow.
