OF swarming, but il care is taken il may
be done on any warm afternoon when
the bees are actively at work.
WORKER bees, being undeveloped
females, may now and then be sufficient
ly developed To lay eggs, but as they
are incapable of meeting the drones
and becoming fully fortified their eggs
will produce only drones
WEAK colonies may be united after
smoking them well by removing the
combs, with the bees adhering, and
placing them together In one hive,
spraying them with peppermint water,

To CLIP the queens wings, open tho
hive and lift the frame carefully and
avoid jars. When the queen is seen,
with pair of sharp-pointed scissors,
lift one Of the front wings and cut Off
about one-half Of IL. This will prevent
her leaving the swarm.
WORKING with bees at unreasonable
times, leaving honey exposed among
the bees, induces robbing. 10 Is only
the weak colonies that are robbed. Ono
OF the easiest and best preventives is to
keep the colonies strong. Contracting
the entrance so that but single bee
can pass Is good cure.

CORN EXPERIMENTS.
Some Valuable Comparisons In Early m
Late Sowing.


Some Valuable Comparisons In Early and
Late Sowing.
The results of a series of expert
ments in corn culture are given by
Prof w. G. Latta, Purdue university,
Lafayette, Ind. In comparing late
and early sowing for a period Of five
years, the range of dates OF planting
was from May l TO 20. The average
yield of the earliest planting was for
ty-seven bushels; that of the latest,
thirty six bushels. These averages
are considerably reduced by the poor
crop of 1898, which was less than half
a crop. Experiments with deep and
shallow blowing were continued for
three weeks. The corn ground was
plowed four, six, eight, ten and twelve
inches. The highest average crops
were obtained from blowing eight
inches, and the lowest averages from
four inches. Experiments in deep and
shallow cultivation were continued
for five years, the cultivation being
one, two and three inches deep. The
average yields from cultivation one inch
deep, fifty-one bushels; from cultiva-
ton two inches deep fifty bushels;
from cultivation three inches deep
forty-nine bushels. - Farmers Mag
