WHEN A COLONY swARMs.

which Orders tho Proceeding, the Bee
Queen or the orkers
A subject discussed in the columns Of
The American Bee Journal, which elic-
lied opinions from some of the best bee
keepers of the country, was which or
ders the swarming-the queen or the
workers. Seven out Of 23 apairists af-
frmed that the worker bees controlled
the proceedings, three thought that the
queen leads, several believed that both
worked together, and two did not know.
W. M. Barnum said: II don't know,
but think there is usually an UNDER
standing between bees and queen. Pes
sibly the bees create the emergency. ard
the queen gives the signal. -
Dadout 81 Son said: I'VE think they
are unanimous on that point. The queen
is angry because young queens are
reared, and the bees are uncomfortable
for want of ROOM"
Mrs j. N. Heater expressed the opin-
ion that, with a normal first swarm, the
queen Is among the last to leave the
hive, while with after swarms with vir-
gin queens tho queen is about the FIRST
one to leave the hive.
e. T. Abbott remarked: Neither of
them. The economy of a beehive ia not
managed on the Dobs plan. Each one
has a mind to work the best she knows
how, and when tho time comes for doing
q thing they all do it without any or
dering. The workers generally go out
first, however,
q. w. Demaree said: ''The worker
bees control the whole proceeding. Last
season ! was watching for the queen at
the entrance Of a hive where the bees
were in the act of swarming, and the
queen did not make her appearance ln-
til three-quarters Of the swarm was in
the air, and vixen she did appear she
was being hustled out by force of arms.
/ distinctly saw an ireful worker bite
her as she sullenly vacated / once
had "A swarm TO issue while / had the
hive open and saw the internal excite
ment, and saw the queen make repeat
ed attacks Oh a sealed queen cell, but
the guards stood firmly and even used
force to drive her away. The old idea
that the queen leads out the swarm
looks romantic and all that, but it Ia
not according to solid facts"

E,periments with Potatoes.

In q Kansas station bulletin is given
a record Of experiments conducted three
consecutive years to test the relative
value for seed of tubars from the first
crop and from the second crop. BY early
planting of early varieties seed potatoes
were secured in July sufficiently matured
to produce a second crop in the same
season. The second crop was light, the
tnbers often small, but firm and of fine
quality. Second crop potatoes kept until
planting time, were sound, firm and
nearly free from sprouts, while the or
binary crop became badly sprouted and
shriveled. In most cases second crop po-
tatoes used as seed gave a larger yield
than seed tubers from the first crop,
the increase in 1890 and 1891 averaging
48h per cent. From second crop seed
potatoes the growth Of tops was larger
and the blooms more abundant. Second
crop seed, allowed to become sprouted
and soft before planting, yielded only
IA per cent more than ordinary seed po-
tatoes-
Flat culture and hill culture gave
practically the same yield.

Chlneh Bugs and Other Pests.

The interest which has from the first
attached to Chancellor Shows method
for the destruction Of chinch bugs will
certainly be augmented by his announce
ment at the annual meeting Of the Kan
sas state board Of Agriculture that it has
been found that the same fungous dis
ease which has proved so efficient for
chinch bugs is equally effective for bed
bugs. lice, grasshoppers and several
other injurious insects.
French scientists have, a stated by
Chancellor Snow, applied the white
fungus to the destruction of tho large
white grub, which, living in rich sur
face soil, often does great damage to
plants. 1t is strongly intimated that by
the method Of impregnating the soil
with the white fungus immunity may
be had from not only chinch bugs. but
also other insect pests.
