Personaees Of the Hive.

There are three personageS In the
bee hive proper, the queen, the worker
bee and the drone. The queen Is Of first
and greatest Importance. The queen Is
a fully-developed female, and is the
mother OF all the bees in her hive, Of
whatsoever kind they may be. The
queen is produced in 16 or 1914 days
from the time the egg is laid. The pc
culiar food fed to her and the cell she
Is reared in account for her complete de-
yeiopment. If this egg and larva had
not been treated for a queen 1t would
have made worker bee. The queen
will leave the hive when she Is from
hve to ten days old, fly away and will
meet and mate with the drone OF male
bee while on the wing, which act is
fatal to the drone. The queen returns
to the hive, and in two or three days
commences to lay, and becomes the
mother Of the colony. a colony left
queenless will soon die out.
The worker-bee is of next import
ance. She performs all the work Of the
hive, gathers in honey and pollen and
water, secretes the wax, builds the
combs, ripens and caps the honey,
nurses the brood, queen and drones,
and defends the colony against inva-
sions, and lives during the working
season about forty-five days on an aver
age. A good strong colony should con-
tain about 40, 900 TO &C, coo bees. So 1t is
apparent at once, that to be prosperous,
every colony of bees must have vigor-
Gus and prolific queen, a queen that is
able to lay from 1000 to 1000 eggs per
day.
The worker-bees are all undevelOped
females, but under certain circum-
stances they are capable of producing
eggs. and when a colony is hopelessly
Queenless, worker-bee will often lay
eggs IN the hive. These eggs will al
ways produce drones, and colony thus
affected will soon die out.
The drone-bee is the male bee, and
his only office work is to fertilize the
queens. One time mating with drone
lasts as long as the queen is able to do
good service in the hive. When the old
queen becomes exhausted, the bees
supersede her with a young queen.
Bee keeping is poor mans business,
and the poorer he is, the less excuse he
can find for not having plenty OF honsy
for himself and family to eat. Bees
are no respecter of persons; they will
work as well for n peasant as for q
prince. He does not have to own the
broad acres they CLEAN, nor build costly
houses and barns for them; they work
without clothes or harness or ma
chinery, and the poor man with his lit
tie home and small business has the
more time to donate to his bees and pro-
vide an article of food that will make
his children prettier, his wife swceter
and his home happier.
Don't talk about luck in bee keeping;
1t will expose you. Quit killing your
bees, quit robbing them, only take from
them what they can spare and leave
them enough to live on. Learn to
breed your hives full of bees the last
thing you do before going int, winter.
and then breed them brim full Of bees
again the first thing you do in the
spring. Have your new hives ready
and your colonies running over full OF
bees when the honey flow comes; there
is where luck comes in, and 1t is al
ways good luck.-G. P. Morton.

A good farmer bearing in mind the
following facts can easily care for his
own vines:
The object In pruning Is to get WE'LL
formed vine and a large yield Of best
fruit.
At least two-thirds of the new growth
should be cut away for this purpose.
Unless severely pruned more fruit
will form than can be we'll matured.
Remember, the vine bears its fruit
on new wood olly.
Canes grown this year are the ones
to preserve for fruit next season.
Cut back the vigorous canes to three
or four buds each.
Canes that have borne one season
never bear again, hence the necessity
for keeping supply of new wood every
year.
Train the vine so It may be laid
down and covered with dirt in winter
and raised and tied to stake or trellis
in the spring.
One and two-year-old vines are not
expected to bear fruit and are cut back
to two or three buds.
Trim your grape vines in the fall.
Remove all weeds, trimmings and
surplus rubbish from the garden. See
that every plant and bush is properly
protected for winter. Cover the ground
with finely composted manure and you
may then look forward to a fruitful
resurrection in the spring.
