ABOUT HONEYCOMB.
Plain, Familiar Talk From an ExpS rienced

Plain, Familiar Talk From an ExpS rienced
Aparian.
Beekeepers, especially beginners in
the art, will find number of interest
ing points in the plain and familiar talk
of DR.. G. G. Miller in The National
Stockman and Farmer, from which the
following is reproduced:
Very likely the majority of people
who have seen honeycomb have never
noticed that all comb is not alike. Look
at the accompanying illustration. You
notice that at one end the cells are
larger than ut the other.
The larger cells are called drone cells
and the smaller are called worker cells.
AS rule, when a queen lays eggs in
the larger cells drones come from them,
and when she lays eggs i'll the smaller
cells workers come from them. The
amount of drone comb in hive is
usually much smaller than that of
worker comb. Usually, however, when
bees are left to themselves they build
more drone comb than is desirable.
When young bee energies from a
cell, it leaves behind it cocoon, a kind
of silk lining to the cell. When many

Early Potatoes In Gardens.

1t is the habit of most farmers to
plant a few potatoes for early use in the
garden. But this is bad practice, be-
cause often the potatoes are planted on
the same ground year after year, and as
the germs of disease live in the soil
over winter the potatoes thus grown
are most likely to be diseased. Besides
where potatoes are grown i'll succession
the soil is filled with hard shell potato
bugs, which come up just about the
time the potatoes do and will often be
found gnawing the potato shoot before
it is fairly out of the ground. 1t is much
better to pillow clover sod somewhere
on rich land for the early potatoes and
reserve the garden for vegetables not SO
easily grown by field culture.

The Peach In Pennsylvania.

G. G. Butt, Pennsylvania station es-
Inmates the total peach area of the state
at 600 acres, practically confined to
the southeast quarter of the state and
very largely concentrated in three or
four counties.
Trees on exposed hilltops are found to
suffer less from winter killing than
those in protected valleys, probably on
account of better maturity of the wood
i'll the former locations. Disintegrated
sandstone or shale soil is found to be
best suited to peaches. The usual limit
of profitable life of an orchard is given
as about IL years. Pruning 50 as to form
low, spreading heads is favored Thin
ming the fruit is strongly recommended
The borer is the most injurious insect
enemy of the peach. Cutting it out with
"a knife is recommended.

GRADUATED Honey.

1t is natural for pure honey to granu-
late when exposed to air whether it be
in the comb or extracted. So long as it
is in the comb, the air is to large ex-
tent excluded, though some air pene-
trates to the honey even then. If ex-
tracted honey fails to granulate when
exposed to air, it is probably adulterat-
ed with glycerin. This, of course, pre-
vents the honey from graduating, but
it is fraud on the honey buyer and an
injury to the honey producer. Nobody
wants to eat glycerin, and the fact that
it is sometimes used to adulterate honey
makes people suspicious of all honey,
so that much less is bought than other
wise would be- Honey is the most deli
cious sweet known and ought to be used
much more generally than it is. The
price, too, is very low, partly because
chemists have learned how to manufac-
ture sweet, sticky substance which is
sold for honey, but whose composition
no bee ever had any part in forming.
This fraud also ought to be punished by
law. Fl after most of the honey is eaten
the remainder becomes quickly granu.
lated, it is IA matter for congratulation
rather than for complaint, according to
American Cultivator.

HONEYCOMB.

generations of young bees have been
reared in a comb it becomes tough and
very unfit to furnish the table of the
human family, but very fit to provide
bedchambcrs for the bee family.
But these cells are not used entirely
for rearing young bees. They contain
honey and bee bread or pollen. The lat
ter is the pollen gathered from flowers
made into a hard paste with honey.
With rare exceptions, pollen is stored
only in worker cells.
You notice that the cells are six sid
ed. Canyon improve Oh that? If you
have three sided cells or four sided,
there will be waste room in the corners,
and it will take more wax to accom-
MEDIATE the same number of bees. 1t
will also take more room, so it would
take more bees to keep warm the same
amount of brood. If you try five sides,
seven or any number larger than seven,
you will have lot of waste room be-
tween your cells
When bees change from worker to
drone cells in building a comb, some of
the cells must be more or less irregular
in size and shape, and these are some
times called accommodation cells. Mar
velous ingenuity is displayed in making
the transition and the whole business of
comb building is such as to challenge
our admiration.
