BEE

In wintering it is always best to take
away all but n queen.
Very late swarming out is good evidence
that the bees are starved out.
Keep the brood as near the center as
possible and the honey nearest the out
side frames.
The queen, no matter how prolific,
should be confined to the space occupied
by the cluster.
A queen bee lays both fortified and I'M
fortified egg alternating from one kind
to another in rapid succession.
The hives should not be shifted around
from one place to another, as the bees will
get confused and it will often incite rob
bling.
If a colony is left queenless for some
time and there is no young brood from
which to raise a queen, worker bees Otter
perform the duty of laying eggs.-St,
Louis Republic.

r TIPS.

The ounce does best with a short trunk
and branching top.
Low headed trees resist the wind better,
and it is easier to harvest the fruit from
them.
Manure should be applied as far out
from the stem of the trees as the branches
extend.
Bone will be more beneficial if planted
near the grapevines than if left lying
around.
Many orchards are seriously injured by
allowing too heavy a growth of grass
around the stems of the trees.
The principal object in pruning shade
trees is to secure symmetry of shape. Be
gin on them while they are young.
In pruning care should be taken to train
every tree so that it will shade its own
body. Shorten the limbs to enable them
to bear their own products.
