HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA

At this time of the year a cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run its course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy to cure
a cough or cold than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively and it has always given
satisfaction.-Olagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be certain preventive of
pneumonia. Among the many thou
sands who have used it for cold and
la grippe, we have never yet learned
of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia, Persons who have weak
lungs or who have reason to fear an
attack of pneumonia, should keep the
remedy at hand. For sale by all drug
gusts and dealers. Benson, Smith g.

Look out for not days. See that
there is not melting down of comb.
Place something under the cover of the

Starting an Apiary.

Spring is the best season to establish
an apiary, especially for a person I'M
acquainted with the practical care of
bees, says Frank Benton, in the Honey
Bee. Colonies in good condition pro-
cured then are more easily kept in
order by the novice than if purchased
in the fall. Mistakes in management
may possibly be remedied before the
season closes, and by the time it is
necessary to prepare for the winter,
the beginner will have gained GER
tain amount of practical knowledge of
the nature and requirements of the
bees. If the start be made late in the
season mistakes, if they occur, may re-
suit fatally before the proper remedy
can be applied.
The beginner had better obtain his
start by purchasing one or two colonies
of pure Italians or Carniolan bees in
accurately made frame hives and in
first-class condition. These he should
get from some beekeeper who has made
a success of the business, near his own
place if possible in order to avoid ex-
pressage and possible damage through
long confinement or numerous trans
fers. The cost per colony may be SO
to IS; yet bees at this price will gener-
ally be found much cheaper in the end,
for. though common bees in box hives
may be frequently obtained for half or
even less than half as much, the cost,
when finally transferred into frame
hives fitted up with straight combs and
the common queens replaced by Italians
or Craniolans will not be less. The
possession of colony already in prime
working order gives the novice stand
ard with which to compare all others
and often enables him to avoid costly
experiments. During the hot summer
season, it will be found profitable to
protect hives having supers with
boards, 2 OF feet in size, called "shade
boards. These are often needed in
hot weather with strong colonies work.

Bee Transferring.

The following simple and easy
method of transferring bees was given
by Mrs. Hanberry before bee keepers
convention recently, says the Santa
Rosa Farmer. Have table with a
blanket spread over it, and over this
spread sheet. Have in readiness a
sharp long-bladed knife, a basin of
water and sponge. Previously have
the old gum where you intend the
new hive to stand. Remove the old
gum from its stand and place your new
hive in its stead. Turn the gum up
side down and place box on top of the
same carefully wrapping sheet aroun d
the gum and box that no bees may
escape. Drum upon the gum with
hammer or stick for ten minutes, and
all the bees and queen will cluster in
the upper box. Take the box off and
set it away, covering it with a cloth.
Now lay the gum on it's side, and
after cutting the comb loose with your
knife, pry off that side, taking care
not single bee is killed or injured.
When the side is off inspect the combs
and cut off the incest ones and fasten
them in your movable frames and set
in your new hive. Wrap the combs
with string to keep them in place.
Take care not to injure the brood. The
refuse pieces of honey may be laid ON
top of the frames for the bees to util-
lie. Keep the combs the same
side up as they were in the gum.
Having the combs all transferred and
in the new hive, say an inch or less
apart, go to the box containing the
bees, having previously spread sheet
in front of your hive. Smoke the bees
a little with burnt rags, which can be
thrown from a smoker brought for the
purpose or otherwise. Then pour and
shake the bees out of the box and on
the sheet in front of the hive, and in a
few minute they will march into it.
If you see the queen ON the sheet and
induce her to enter, the others will
surely follow.
In few days the bees will have
fastened the combs, when, after being
smoked little, the strings or stats
used to fasten the combs, will be taken
| off.

to the unusually cool, dry weather
while they were in bloom, the crop is
extremely light in many places, and in
some localities almost a failure. Now
this could have been remedied. How:
Why, by having bees to fertilize the

This article is suggested by the COM
plant of friend. He had a large
colony of bees take possession Of the
roof of his tank-house some time in
April. and now he is in a sweat as to
how TO get rid Of them, as he says
they are a terrible nuisance on the
apricots while drying, etc. That they
do work on apricots while drying,
especially over-ripe ones, is fact
which | am not going to deny. Now
this friend has a very light crop of
apricots, and is very anxious to make
the most of them, and l want to

At the time the trees were in bloom.
it was so cool that bees could fly but a
short distance from their hives, and
only few hours in the day. notice
some twenty trees on First street liter
ally loaded with nice fruit, while a
short distance from them the trees are
almost bare of fruit. There is cause
for this, and what is that cause? Why,
there are two large colonies of bees in
the cornice of a house adjoining the
lots where those trees are.
Let the bees have trifie for their
labor! The laborer is worthy of his
hire; muzzle not the OK that treadeth

CARE OF THE APIARY.
Carniolan Bees Seem to be the
Most Productive.
BEGIN OPERATION IN THE SPRING
How to Transfer Bess-Bees in the Or
ehard-Strsngth Of Bses-Short
Notes.

THE Carniolan bees are the gray
bees from the elevated Alpine province
Of Carniola, AUSTRIA says Prof. Ben
ton, in his Manual of Instruction in
Agriculture. They are the gentlest
of all races of bees, and as, besides
their other good qualities, they winter
the best of any, it is not surprising to
see that they have steadily grown in
favor. Their sealed combs are ex-
ceedingly white, as they do not fill the
cells so full that the honey touches the
Gaping, and they gather little pro-
polls, qualities highly appreciated by
the producer of comb honey This
variety is quite prolific, and if kept in
small hives, such as have been popular
lied of late, are somewhat more in
clined to swarm than the other races
introduced here. This tendency be-
comes more pronounced when they are
taken into a country whose summers
are hot, like ours, and their hives are
not well shaded, as they have been
bred for centuries with only slight
introduction of outside blood, in a eli
mate where the summers are short
and cool. The practice in Carniola is
to place the long, shallow hives, used
almost exclusively there, in bee houses
and side by side, one above the other,
with intervening air space, so that at
most only the front ends are exposed
to the sun. This management, long
continued, has doubtless tended to de-
velop and fix more or less permanently in
this race certain characteristics which
should be taken into account in their
management elsewhere. With these
precautions, the Carniolan bees do well
in all parts of the United States.

A French naturalist, M. Plateau, has
tested various insects to ascertain their
strength, and finds that the smallest
ones are very often the strongest. Ac-
cording to his experiments, bee can
drag off thirty times as much as a
horse can, according to it's size. One
bee dragged easily twenty others, and
showed power proportionate to a
locomotive. What astounding muscu-
lar power the bee must have, when we
remember that whole swarm hangs
from the limb of a tree, when but
comparatively few bees touch the limb
itself.

in Brazil before it will consent TO en-

in the Tejunga Canyon are being
driven from their lators by the heat

be almost totally destroyed. The wind
from the northwest at night carries the
smoke and heat down into the valley,
and the intense heat in Pasadena is the
result of the fires.

Hybridized Bees.

The brown or German, the Italian,
and, in few apiaries, the Carniolan
bees are probably the only races exist
ing pure in the United States" says
the Montana Husbandman, the others
having become more or less hybridized
with the brown race among themselves
or their cultivation having been dis
continued. 1t should also be remarked
that so few have kept their Carniolans
pure, that prchasers who wish this race
should use caution in their selection
or else import their own breeding
queens. There are many breeders of
Italians from whom good stock can be
obtained. Egyptian bees were tried
some thirty years ago, but only to a
very limited extent, and, as has been
the case with Syrians and Palestines
imported in 1880, and whose test was
more prolonged and:general, they were
condemned as inferior in temper and
wintering qualities to the races of bees
already here, it not being thought that
these points of inferiority were suffi-
GENTLY balanced by their greater pro-
likeness and their greater energy in
honey collecting.
The Tunisians, for similar reasons,
and also because they are great collec-
tors of propolis, never became popular,
although a persistent attempt was
made few years since to create sale
for them under the new name of
"Punic BEES" the undesirable quail
ties of the race having previously been
made known, under the original name,
by the author, who had tested them
carefully for several years-a part of the
time in Tunis."

Bees are much like people, says the
Rural Californian. 1t is hard for them
to be good natured when things do
not go well. Thus in this season of
no honey production we may look for
cross bees unless they are handled with
extraordinary care. When bees are
very active and the honey is being
produced rapidly. we can often handle
ours with safety without either veil
or smoke. 1t will not do, however, at
such times as these when bees are
almost idle, to handle them without
the greatest precaution. 1t is better at
such times not to handle the bees at
all. 1t not unfrequently occurs that
working with the bees at such times as
the present makes them intolerably
cross, so that they are positively dan
gerous if they are at all near the house
or roadside.

were frustrated as the authorities had
received special orders to be on the
lookout for any demonstration against
the property of the United States.
Special protection was afforded the
building in which the office of the
consul is located, with a view to the
same end. The mob gathered before
the building before the police were
aware of what was occurring, and
stones began to fly from the crowd,
with the result that windows were
broken. The crowd was cheered on
by sympathizers in the streets and
from the neighboring houses. The
