THE YACHT VINDEX'S THRILLING
EXPERIENCE.
With Bobstay and Forestry Parted,

the Gallant Crew Crossed the

By William J. Henderson; copyright,
1895, by William j. Henderson,
The sun was sloping to the westward,
and the Staten island hills were all
purple mist against the glowing yellow
of the sky. The ebb tide was running
strongly, and over under the St George
shore half a dozen slim cutters, three
fat. black-sided Italian barks, and a
great white cruiser, with film of blue
smoke wavering above two of her
three orchre tunnels and the bright
ensign dropping YEARLY at her taffrail
staff, were Juggling wilfully at their
tense cables. a fast steam yacht was
coming up through the Narrows, every
flag standing out as fiat as board,
and a wide streamer of oily brown
smoke swirling away over her star
board quarter, while under her bows
the yellow water spurted asunder in
two glittering fountains of silver. 1t
was a lovely, if somewhat familiar,
scene, and as the staunch racing Sloop
VindeX slowly stemmed the tide just
to the northward of Fort La Fayette,
with her bowsprit pointing at the At

at full length on her deck, drank in its

PREVENTION OF swARMING.

In southern Minnesota, IS a general
thing, bees do not get the svarminS
fever before the beginning of the white
honey harvest. Some Of them will, iutS

and exchanging them with some from
a weak colony, all ,.an be held back
until clover or Eastwood begins TO
yield. and at this tine # they prepare
TO swarm, all the brood is taxed from
them, and they are given empty
frames with only narrow starters of
foundation. The sections are rut en-

been allowed to idle around five or six
days and then swarm themselves.
From strong colonies that 10 no: get
the swarming fever at the commence
ment of the flow. the two mid lie c1nbs
are removed, and two empty ones put
in their places, then the two outside
ones are put next to these. Colonies
thus treated are not apt to swarm #
they have not the SwarmlnS fever at
the commencement of the main few.
Some years it is necessary 70 remove
but very little brood. In this way last
year less than half of my colonies tried
to swarm, and nothing was done to
prevent them, except to put the two
outside combs in the center.
The brood that is removed is USED in
various ways. If there are ny weak
colonies at this time they are buiit up.
Each year l rear a good many queens
from some of my choice stock. ami a
deal of it is used to form nuclei, etc.
What is left is put in eight-frame
hives; two of these are put together,
one on top of the other, and if they are
given a good queen soon after. they
make strong colonies for the fall flow,
if there is any. l leave but a very
few bees in these frames of brood.
There is always some honey on them,
and the Matching bees will take care
of themselves. Some of the larvae viii
die, but this is a very small loss at
this time.
BY this plan there are no after
swarms. Some of the old colonies may
try to swarm, but this is seldom. But
am always glad to have them, for it
is a good season when they do, and if
any of them Go get the swarming fever
again. the same process is repeated.
From reading this you may think my
plan is more work than TO allow them
TO swarm; but in actual practise it is
not one-half the work. Besides, I can
go through the swarming season with
less increase. One of the main things
with me is to prevent increase. 1 have
enough colonies in the spring for each
yard to gather all there is to be had
from the same. In fact, think / have
had too many, the way the seasons
have been the last few years.-C. Dav-

hold good. Instead of dying out, the
wind worked over to nor nor west, and
