BEE BUZZES.

White clover honey is the lightest in col
cred.
Extracted honey is easier cared for than
comb honey, and, properly cared for, will
keep for several years.
If there is less han % pounds of honey
in the hive at the close of the season, feed
ing will be necessary.
Bees need air all of the time. They eX-
hale quantities of moisture, which must
be carried off by IL free circulation of air.
Honey that is well ripened in the hive
before taken out is much better Sian that
which is taken out as soon us it is capped.
A good and fertile queen bee keeps the
hive full of bees during the season, but
when the honey flow stops she ceases lay
ing.
Three conditions are necessary for the
safe wintering of bees. They are strong
colonies, plenty of good food and IL dry
home.
When the queen ceases to lay at the close
of the honey season, the workers Kill of
the drones and give manifest symptoms OF
retrenchmcnt.
Wintering bees OF summer stands is
cheaper han putting them away i'll the
fall and taking them out in the spring
but the hives Should be properly protected.
The introduction of a queen into a col
ony will change the entire stock, and il
the queen is Introduced early in the spring
the stock will be of the new queen inside
of two months Exchange.

BRASS BAND BALL.
The Neihart Band Will Give a
Grand Entertainment at Monarch,

At the last regular meeting of the
band it was decided to give a social
ball in Monarch and to that end a com
mittee de push was named 20 man
age the various appointments, II. A.
Willis, A. II. Johnson, and Paul Marcel
ius constitute the said committee. 1t
was first thought best to fix the date at
February 4th. but the committee later
concluded to call it off January %,
just one week sooner, in consideration of
the Kibbey people who had already adj
vertised a dance for February g.
The importance Of this pail of Jan.
90 extends beyond the mere financial
benefit to be derived by the band. The
place chosen for the monumental blow
out is central to a number of camps and
districts. Here may the people of Nei-
hart, Iule's, Monarch, Barker, Kibbev,
Mason, Logging creek, Riceville, Arm
ington, Belt, and other places meet in
social communion, both strengthening
old acquaintance and forming new.
Since segregation has prevailed, it is
right that the people of the south side OF
Cascade county should cultivate one
another's acquaintance and friendship,
and it is to he hoped that the night OF
January 80 will see together the mer
and the women of affairs in this corner
of the great moral vineyard. Let u'
mingle inthe society of our neighbors.
The music furnished upon that occa
sion will be one continual concert
enjoyable not only to dancers, but tc
common everyday auditors As well. L
will be worth your while TO come ant
hear it.
An excellent supper will be supplied
at the Monarch hotel at 80 cents Il plate
Tickets to dance are on sale at 81. Ev
erybody come, bring your ladies an'
meet your neighbors-and help out
young but excellent musical organiza
ton.
