How to Raise the Best Queens.

Queen bees that are produced in the
natural way, namely, by swarming,
are superior to others, that is, much
larger per cent of them are. They
are harder, more prolific, live longer
and do better service generally. We
can only secure such queens during
the swarming season, while the cells
are present. After colony swarms
their first swarm there are lot of
those cells in the hive, and three or
four days after the swarm comes out
is the proper time to secure these
cells. The colony containing the cells
may be divided out into several nuclei
or small colonies, with one of these
cells to each nuclei. Combs of bees
and brood may be taken from any col
ony and cell engrafted into each one.
and we can use all the cells by thus
forming these small colonies for them.
They will soon hatch out and become
fertilized and will begin to lay eggs
and are then ready to either introduce
to other colonies or to build up just
as they are by adding more frames of
brood to them, and in short time they
will be good, strong colonies In
breeding queens we should breed opiv
from our best and choice st stock.
That there is great difference in the
qualities of bees is very evident, and
we can rapidly improve them by thus
selecting our breeders. s.-Agriculture

others hold that they are an offshoot
of the japanese.
Gobien, the French writer, who
studies the people on the spot, says of
them:
"The natives are not so dark as
those of the Philippines, and are larger
of body than the average European
They lived on roots, fish and fruits,
and were extremely active and quick.
Many of them lived over 100 years. :"
Another French writer says that he
saw them dive and swim so well that
they caught fish in their hands under
water.

door amusements.
The women are usually lighter in
color than the men, and many of them
are extremely beautiful, with luxuriant
hair reaching almost to the ground.
The Carolines are like the Ladrones,
only more extensive in number and
area, and densely populated. The
islands are widely scattered into three
great groups, the eastern, western and
central. Spain originally claimed all
the groups, but Germany recently
took the Marshall Islands. The cen.
trail or main group, now belonging tc
Spain, comprises forty-eight smaller

the capital, is also convict settle
ment. 1t is beautifully clean, and
possesses good government officials,
hospital, schools and church. The
Spanish residents have usually num-
bered about twenty, and the regular
soldiery about 200, all quartered here.
The militia, comprising about all the
male population. is commanded by
native officers. The civil government
is similar to that of the Philippines.
Postal communication has been quar-
terly.
When first discovered the Ladrones
had a population of about 10000.
Not one of the original race survives,
and the islands are peopled chiefly by
Tagals and Bisayans from the Philip
pines, mixed descendants of South
American Indians, colony Of Caro-
line Islanders who founded Garapan
in the Island of Saipan, and numerous
Chamorro-Spanish half-breeds. The
census of 1888 reports population Of
6476 in Agana, and total of 10,
in all the islands, 5034 being males
5139 females. There are eighteen
schools in the Island of Guam. Only
ten per cent. of the Ladrone Islanders
are unable to read and write. Spanish
is the recognized language; but many
of the natives speak little English.
The climate is good an2 equable; sew
enty degrees to eighty degrees
Fahrenheit is the range of the ther-
mometer.
The present population are de-
scribed as wanting in energy, of In
different moral character, and miser-
ably poor" They are descended in
part from the original inhabitants,
called Chamonos, and from the Mesti-
zos, mixed race formed by the union
of Spaniards with these natives.
On the island called Suypan colony
from the Caroline Islands, which lie to
the south of the Ladrones, was estab-
lished some years ago. These people
are the most active and enterprising
inhabitants of the Ladrones.
Spain has derived no revenue from
these islands, and has done little to
civilize the people. At one time a
few small schools were started, but
they were soon abandoned.
In 1856 an epidemic destroyed one
third of the population.
August and September are the hot
test months, and the rainfall in the
summer months is very heavy.
Agana, the capital, is well built of
timber, and many of the houses have
tiled roofs. There are twenty small
villages on the Alands.
So little has been done to civilize
the people that they live in about the
same primitive fashion as character
lied them when Europeans first visited
them.

The report on railways in India for
1897 s has just been published by the
Indian Office in London. The follow.
ing is summary Of some of the re-
suits pointed out: The total length of
railways open on March 81, 1898, was
25, 4544 miles, being net increase of
926 miles over the preceding year; of
ihis mileage 81, 1861 were in full
operation on that date, being an in
crease of 76G. The mean mileage
worked during the year was 90, 531,
being an increase of 748 miles. The
gross earnings for 1878 amounted
to $51, 100, 339, which is an increase of
nearly $4,000 over the previous
gear. In the same period the work,
,ng expenses amounted to $3l, 200, 900,
6hich was little more than last year.
The net earnings amounted to S32,.
71O,0 being decrease of S21O,S72.
OF the total gross earnings, 1887 per
cent. was earned by the standard
gauge lines, 1852 per cent by the
meter gauge, and the balance, 81 per
cent, by the special gauge lines. The
total number of passengers booked in
the year showed decrease of 5.94 per
cent. The passenger earnings de-
creased by 7.3l per cent. What is
termed "other coaching" traffic showed
au increase of 26.Ol per cent The
report explains this seeming paradox
by stating that the falling off in ''pas,
senger traffic" in 1897 was chiefly dua
to the prevalence of the plague and
the famine, while the increase under
10th er coaching traffic" was princi7
pally due to the abnormal receipts on
account of the northwest frontier mill
tary expedition.

feats which seem almost supernatural.
However, it remained for Mr.. Will H.
Barnes, of Sioux City, Iowa, to train
an animal which was generally con-
sidered to be the dullest of quad
rupeds, namely, the elk. His efforts
have proved beyond doubt that the
elk is by no means lacking in in
telligence, and his famous diving elks
elicit admiration and wonder from all
who see them perform. Mr.. Barnes
secured the elks when they were
young, and though it required uu-
limited patience, he finally succeeded
in breaking them in harness. While
training the elks, the owner noticed
that they seemed utterly Indifferent
to what height they jumped from, and
he then conceived the idea of teaching
them to dive. The process was a
slow one, but now, after two years of
labor, they have attained marvellous
degree of ability in this feat, as they
make headlong plunge of fifty feet
into a tank of water. Herewith is
presented cut representing the elk
making the dive. AS will be noticed,
the animal makes headlong plunge
with his feet extended.

Captain J. w. Pratt has told a
mighty military story that came to
him somehow from the big camp of
the United States volunteers at San
Francisco. An infantryman had over
stayed his liberty. Detection meant
fine and perhaps some imprison-
ment, with the most disagreeable sort
of police duty. The infantry chap was
a genius. He pinned strips of white
paper down the legs of his trousers.
Then he made officers shoulder straps
out of banana skins. Then he boldly
walked right through the line, an
swered "officer," and accepted the
night honor of the sentry. Pacific

Chariock in Spring Grain.

If there appear yellow flowers scat
tered here and there through fields of
oats or barley, when these grain have
grown few inches high, it is a sign
that the field needs attention and weed
ing. These yellow flowers belong to
charlock, IL plant of the mustard fam
lily, and which is an intolerable pest in
spring grain. Itonly grows on ground
disturbed in spring. Each plant bears
hundreds to thousands of seeds, and
as these will lie in the ground for years,
and only grow when the ground is
spring plowed, they soon make the
growing of spring grain impossible.
Wherever this pest abounds seeding
should be done with winter wheat or
rye, and no spring cultivation of these
grains can be allowed, MS this will start
the weed to growing, just as it would in
sp.ing grain. We have seen this weed
grow in wheat fields in the tracks which
the man made across the field in SOW
ing grass and clover seed, and step
ping in the muddy soil. Wherever the
foot disturbed the soil, there the char
lock would appear, and nowhere else
in the.field, though all the soil was
evidently full of it.-Americcn Guilt
