Denver, Colo. Nov. 22.-Congress-
man BELL today, In an interview. said:
There will be no more western states
admitted into the Union while the Re.
publican party has control OF either
house. The speaker told me last year
that he felt great responsibility for
having taken an active part In admit
ting the western states. lie said the
power Of the western senator was un.
just and had been greatly abused aud
was, la fact, checking the develop.
men OF the country; that he thought
II was grievously wrong for the west
ern senator's 10 stand In the way Of the
progress Of the country. Many sena-
tors will probably oppose the admis-

this impression. Hawaii will be an-

The question OF a committee to investi-
cato the books OF the county is yet an un-
settled one, and Hon. John G. Tod has
not decided what he will do in the matter.
1t will be remembered that Monday
committee was appointed by Judge Tod
to 20 over the books of all county Officers
who in any way include as part OF their
duties the handling Of finances. The Post
published the law on the subject. which
allows three men SO per day for five days,
and the assertion was made In these col
umns at the time that the work could
not be done In that time. or a time much
longer. Tuesday the committee found this
out and rendered their resignation TO Judge
Tod, explaining that the time allowed was
too limited a writer for The Post yester
day called on District Judgc Tod and asked
II he had selected new committee He
said that ho had not. and has not decided
what he VIII do. Up to the present he has
not been able to discover expert account
ants who will undertake the worl: to he
disposed of within that limited period, or

Judge said he did not know what caused
the grand jury to ask FOR the investigation.
He was simply presented with the request
as the law directs.

eve and lamb shut up therein until the
lamb has sufficient strength to mingle
with the flock without risk of life. A
number of these small pens may be set
up il necessary, and when not in use
they may be stored away in very small
space. We are indebted to Mr.. George
McKerrow for this idea, and since he is
one of the most successful sheep grow
ers in Wisconsin his recommendations
have great weight. We have tested the
value of small box-like pens, but the
gates are more convenient and require
less room when not in use.
The basement should be seven and a
half or eight feet high, and the loft
above should be of sufficient height to
provide storage room for hay and fod-
der.
The feed bins may be located in the
loft and conveyed to a mixing box at
the end of the feeding alley by means of
spouts, as shown in Fig. 2.
Watering tanks may be located in the
division fences and the supply regu-
lated by floats.-John l.. Shawver, in

STRONG COLONIES.
without Them Bookkeeping Ii Sure to-
lie a Dfsnppointment

DC DisnppOintment.
One of the difficult things for the
novice in beekeeping to learn is that
ten strong colonies will store more
honey than twenty weak ones. There
Is an anxiety for large numbers, and
each colony is counted one, no matter
how feeble it may be. So the mex
perienced is often delighted at get
ing two, three, or even four or five
swarms from single colony, notwith-
standing the fact that the last two
or three swarms contain only q hand
ful of bees. They make sure to die be-
fore the winter is over, and then he de-
cides that he doesn't care for such very
weak colonies, but still clings to the
thought that one strong enough TO
live through it is all right.
Many times, however, il is true econ
omy to lessen the number, even with
the view of having the largest num-
Der possible in the succeeding fall.
Suppose, for instance, there are four
weak colonies in the spring, each one
having enough bees to fairly cover
two combs. Unite two of them and
leave the other two without uniting.
You now have only three colonies in
stead of four, and yet you may be bet
ter off; for the one colony, with bees
to cover four combs, will go right on
increasing in strength, and by the time
the white clover harvest is fairly under
way it will he strong enough to give
you rousing swarm, and you will
now have two strong colonies for il,
while the two weaklings have only just
begun fairly to build up. They stood
still, not showing any increase in num-
Der for long time, evidently needing
all the strength they had to keep up
existence and make good the loss of the
dying bees by the young bees raised.
If, instead of trying to increase. the
effort be to get all the honey possible,
supposing neither colony offers to
swarm, the difference is fully as notice
able, if not more so. The united colony
will have more bees than there are in
both the others. 1t is easy to see that
it will store more surplus. But if you've
had no experience in the matter it may
be hard for you to believe how much
more.-Farmers' Union.
