These islands have been long unin-

their eyes TO the little tribes on the

FACTS ABOUT BEES.
A Few suggestions Which Mav Prove
OF vaIce to Many.

OF Saice TO Many.
While the bees take their winters
nap. the apiarist should be awake and
active. II he can handle tools and has
u shop TO protect him from the inclem-
encies OF the weather. he can manufac-
ture his OWE hives and have them in
readiness for the busy season.
Nothing a be done with bees in
the winter. II they have been properly
cared for In the fall. the best thing is
simply to let them alone. In warm
days when they are inclined TO fly. the
entrances should be opened up and
cleared from dead bees. On such days
those that are suspected 10 be getting

As the winter months are suitable
for reading and storing the mind with
knowledge, i will give here a sugges-
ton that may be of advantage to many
1t is in reference 10 what are called 'fer-
tile workers" This phrase describes
bees hat have gotten out Of their
proper sphere, fike growing hena and
whistling maids. All worker bees are
undeveloped females capable under
certain conditions Of laying eggs like
a queen. Their eggs will hatch, but
will only produce drones, or male bees
OF small size. Such fertile workers
only appear in colonies that have lost
their queen. Their presence can read
lily be detected when the combs are ex-
ahmed. There will be in worker cells
from two TO six eggs, and IL they have
been In existence for some time, sealed
cells raised above those Of the workers
Will appear detached from one another
and not Of continuous elevation as regu-
lar drone cells are. When such a condi-
ton exists, fertile workers are pres
ent, and the regular queen is absent.
The main question then is to know how
to get rid of these pests. They cannoi
be detected, for they are just like com
mon workers, unless you catch them
IN the act OF laying their eggs. There
may only be one or several. When their
existence is discovered it is useless 10
give them a laying queen, as they will
not accept her.
a. ceSt WY l Sci Ilu OF tnem is 10
remove the stand 10 a new place in the
apiary at a considerable distance. Place
empty hive where the colony former
ly stood, then go TO some strong hive
and take out two frames containing
eggs and sealed brood (be sure you
have not the queen), with all adhering

go to the hive containing the fer
tile workers. take out each frame, shak-
Ing or brushing every bee off, and place
I IN the new hive. Do this with every
frame until you have your box full.
The worker bees will fly back to their

MUCH SICKNESS.
Several Members of a Portuguese
Family Stricken.

What is left of the NJ. Silva family,
is Just now in sad state. Death seems
to have laid its mark at the door OF
this unfortunate Portuguese family.
Just a day or two ago, a Is year old
girl was lost through the ravages OF
typhoid fever Just a little before that
time, a daughter of IS years had been
stricken down and is not expected to
live over today. The father was taken
down with the same disease yesterday
and was removed to the hospital. He
is now in a very precarious state. The
case of the Portuguese residence is
puzzling the physicians, as the place
was found to be perfectly clean when
first visited, and was thoroughly in
spected after the first case had been
discovered. All that now remain IN
the house are the mother and daughter,
and friends expect that they will be
stricken down with the same disease
in a very little time.
