A Stove Tint is Not n Stove.

"A stove has been invented for use in
the heated months of summer. 1t will
reduce temperature, just as stoves
heated by fire raise the temperature in
winter. BY the use of salt, a small
quantity of ice, and talented chemi-
cal, the most intense degree OF cold is
secured. So great is the cold that it
is as dangerous to touch this cold stove
when in operation as it would be to
place the hand on fire stove Mt n
high degree of heat. The skin is in
stantly taken of, and painful injuries
are the result of the slightest contact

Swarmin8 il always II sure sign of
prosperity III the apiary, and is Mt
tended with profit if given good at
tention. The first swarms that issue
are always the best bees, as they are
usually strong In numbers, and they
contain the old queen, which is the
principal object, as she is already fer
tile and will begin laying IA soon as
they are ready to begin usekeeping.
FIRST, or Prime" swarms, as they are
termed, are the cream of the COLONY.
aud are more valuable than the parent
stock they issue from.
FIRST swarms usually store more
surplus honey than any other. and in
every respect keep i'll the lead through
out the season, and the only objection
TO them is that, rs they always con
tam the Oldest queens, sometimes the
queen Is too old to successfully carry
the colony through the following win
ter. There is wide difference be-
tween first aud second swarms from
the same colony.
second swarms are accompanied by
young queen, and one that is not fer
tile, aud she takes the chances of fer
tllizatlon after beginning housekeep-
ing, and rs this requires her to take
wing away from the hive, she stands
one chance out of ten of becoming lost.
and if so, the colony will do no good
whatever of its own account, rs they
have no brood from which to rinse
another.
Since exploring the interior of n
beehive we are no more Mt n loss to
Know when to expect swarms. The
weather being favorable, we can tell
to n certainty the day, and almost the
hour they are likely to issue. Bees
begin to construct queen cells eight
days previous to swarming. and Mt
any time during this period we make
discovery of these cells, we can ascer.
tain their time of maturity by the adj
vancement of construction. The cells

day, and mt this time the swarm is

Second swarms will issue eight DAYS
thereafter, at which time the younp
queens will hatch If we desire the
colony to swarm but once, and not
again after the first swarm has come

all but one cell, or take all the cells

are intended for planting on n heavy
clay soil, they will last longer and be

In most of these cases the cause may

soured before perfect separation could
take place. In some cases, however,
dampness and poor ventilation are re-
sponsible. Temperature of milk room
