Different Chnractcrlstics in nccs.


Ordinarily one would think that
bees are bees the year over, and that
their characteristics and qualities.
good and bad, We're about one and the
same thing. While there is very dis
tiuct difference i'll the different races
OF bees, there is yet greater differ
ence III the colonies OF the same race.
There are almost as many different
characteristics, as there are colonies in
the apiary. This very nearly amounts
to saying, that no two colonies are
alike.
The whole makeup of the colony in
whatever particular in altogether in
the queen, and whatever point is the
speciality in that colony, the whole
colony inherits the same thing. So,
well acquainted with the different
characteristics of the bees, the apiarist
selects his breeding stock, and breeds
for any points he deems most profit
able or wishes to attain
Some colonies far exceed others in
gathering honey, some breed up more
rapidly, aud some colonies are more
inclined TO swarm than others, some
are good comb builders, while others
are better at filling the extractor.
Some colonies consume less honey dur,
Ing the winter than others and come
out in better condition in the spring.
some breed mp so rapidly in early
spring as TO far exceed their superior
in strength. Some colonies arc in
clined to rob and give more trouble
than they arc worth Some strains
have greater endurance of wing, will
CARY larger loads and go further for
1t; some are inclined to build dronc
combs exclusively for surplus, while
others build worker comb. Some will
enter the surplus boxes at once and
store hundreds OF pounds of honey
while others positively refuse and per-
sist IN swarming. Some strains have
longer tongues than others and can
reach clear down into the tubes of the
red clover blossom and make a success
OF gatherin honey, while others would
5iarve right beside it. Some colonies

How English Women Walk.

English women are supposed to be
the most expert pedestrians in the
world; they may manage to get over
the ground, but they go with heavy
clump, clump, the fault of their clumsy
aud ill-fitting boots, aud this, with
their tightly-laced, inhumanly- stiff
corsets, makes it wonder that they
ever came to walk at all.

are produced, and, after mating, the
females lay the eggs for another brood.
With most species there is but this
one brood n year.
Most farmers are beginning to real
lie the many advantages of fall plow-
ing, and where sod land especially is
plowed in the fall it will greatly lessen
the number of cutworms and other in
sects on such land the following
spring. A good remedy for killing out
the cutworms i'll the garden is to make
up mixture consisting of a quantity
OF bran or corn meal, to which is
added little paris green and little
molasses or sugar TO give sweetish
taste. 1t is the paris green that kills
the worms, and this should be
very thoroughly mixed with the bran
so as to have uniform mixture. A
spoonful of this mixture should he
placed near the plants just before night
on the day the plants are set ont. The
cut worms work at night aud will be
killed by eating of the poisoned mix
ture. 1t is much better, however, to
place the mixture about in various
parts field n few days before plant
ing, as it will then kill off the worms
before any damage is done

HOnOrs for Green and Zewadski.

The long drawn out cattle trial
ended yesterday afternoon in a
verdict by the jury for the plain
tiff. The case was tried before
Judge Bullock and consumed two
days, fifteen witnesses being ex-
amined. The case was James
Hobkirk, administrator of the es-
tate of Mary Conyers, of Citra,
who brought suit to recover pos
session of ten head of cattle ia
ken by w. III. bennett as trustee
for Mrs. N. E. Essex. Mrs. E.
claimed to own the cattle and
through her trustee took ten
head from the range to test own
ership of the entire herd, about
1O4 heaG, originally willed to her
by her grandmother in 1866. The
verdict for theNadministrator was

The County Tax List.

Ii the editor of the Mail and
Express had read the Evening
Star and it's position on the print
ing of the delinquent tax list, it
would not have devoted column
this morning trying to convey
the impression to it's readers that
the Star is demanding that the
collector give them, (the Starr
the tax list before it is ready and
that such action is self greed and
trying to make the list as large
as possible. Thereby to fatten
their (the Star's) pocket book
and making the taxpayer suffer.
We do not believe editor Jake
Israel means to misrepresent or
be unfair to the Star and that he
may show that disposition
towards it's contemporary, either
to publish what the Star said on
this question Wednesday, or
simply remark: "That in case the
Stars award for publishing this
list is confirmed by the courts. 1t
will wait until the first week in
December if the tax collector un-
der oath says it requires that
time to get the list ready"
Ii editor Jake Israel does not
do this, then the Star knows from
whose pole the sour grapes are
dangling. Jakey, show your
manhood and the true spirit Of
nobility that is in you, or retire
to the shades of Jacksonville and
pet your "burnsides.
The Stars position as public
spirited journal, laboring for the
best interests of the brick city
and Marion county is before the

ELECTRICITY OR DARKNESS.
Which Shall it Be! Let the Qualified
Voter Consider.

NOACA SOhcAuOAs
Ocala will hold an election
Tuesday, July q, to accept or re-
ject contract to light the city
by electricity for the next two
years, which contract is now ap-
pearing in the Evening Star.
If the contract is rejected Ocala
will grope in darkness for the
next twenty-four months, or such
time as the city can erect it's own
plant, but this, too, is impossible
for must not the voters of Ocala
also pass on this proposition, af-
ter being formulated by the city
council to determine whether the
voter is willing to create bonds
from the proceeds Of which cash
can be secured to build this
plant? Again, if the bonds should
be voted, could they be foated, a
$4,000 Indebtedness staring US in
the face and repudiated paper
and unpaid interest pricking us
into reminder of a, dishonored
commercial name? Admitting
money is secured, will not the
time of this contract, (if grant
ed) two years, expire ere the
plant is ready for work.
Refusal means Egyptian dark
ness for our municipality and
also tallow dips for commercial
and resident illumination, for
without the city's patronage our
plant could not continue opera
tions.
Our esteemed competitor,
through it's gas light calculator,
George Mackay, assures the pub
lie that if his company is permit
ted to illuminate the domain of
the city it will do so at saving
of several hundred dollars a year
to the taxpayers. Let us see
which is the cheaper light. The
gas company offers 200 fifty
candle-power burners at $2400 a
year, making 10000 candle power
at 26 cents per year per candle
power.
Our company offers thirty-six
1900 candle power arc lights at
S2959.5O per year, making a total
of 43,2OO candle power, with a
cost per candle power of 6'85
cents per year. Aa@-~~
Has it ever occurred to the be-
lated pedestrian on night OF
inky blackness that our lights
shed their brilliant rays over the
extreme outskirts of the city as
well as in the heart of the town,
and that under gas light regime
the suburban resident would
grope about in fitful shadows of
black-cat density? Respectfully,
GENERAL ELECTRIC Co.
