BEES IN BOX HIVES.
1t Is Best to Delay Transferring Un-
til Twenty-One Days After
SwarminE.

It is so much more convenient to do
anything with bees in movable comb
hives that it has been a common prac-
tice to transfer from box hives into
movable comb hives in fruit bloom.
There is growing belief, however, that
it is better to delay transferring until
81 days after the bees in the box hive
have swarmed. Indeed, where increase
is desired it may be as we'll not to trans
fer at all, but to keep the old colony
in the box hive from year to year, SO
long as swarms are desired. In Eng
land many bees are still kept in the old
fashioned straw skeps, and the follow
ing advice regarding them in the Brit
ish Bee Journal may apply equally to
way for a beginner to increase from a
single s]zep is to allow the bees to
swarm naturally. If you prepare two
frame hives and nurse the bees to in
duce early breeding, it is nearly GER
tain that you will have two swarms,
the first of which may, if fed for week
after hiving, give you some surplus
honey. Hive the second swarm on
about five frames fitted with full sheets
of foundation, and it may easily make a
good stock for next year, so, with the
skep still occupied, you may in good
season and with decent management
increase your stocks from one to three
and get little surplus honey. Surely
this will be satisfactory, to say the
least -

ordered Castor to be saddled and took him
out. When returned, about FIVE in the
afternoon, I felt that all that had been said
OF the generous beast rode moderated his
value, and that l possessed matchless
steed, who was fit to run for a kingdom.
For the next few days the routine of my
life was exactly the same, the morning at
tendance at the cardinals levee, the daily
dinner III public, and long rides with Cas-
tor IN the afternoons, in which was some
times accompanied by St. Armande; but
this was not always possible, as he was
closely attached to D'Amboise'e person.
DAmboise frequently asked me to accom-
pany him to the vatican; but up to nov
l had begged permission to decline his invi-
tatlon, on the plea that, with the business
before me, it would perhaps be we'll for me
to live as much in retreat as possible. The
cardinal said, with that good tempered
laugh OF his, which entirely belied his as
tute schenling nature, that as I was as vet
ignorant of my task I need not be so care
full. 1 replied to his eminence that it was
just because l was in the dark that I was
so circumspect, and he was then good
enough to agree with me. / was, however,
naturally anxious to see something of the
vatican, and one of my reasons for refus-
ing, besides that of prudence, was that
was not sufficiently we'll equipped. This,
however, with the funds at my disposal,
was soon mended, but from some cause or
other, L had up to now not gone. Jacopo
was not 80 successful as he Anticipated he
would be, in raising his men. It was, above
all, necessary to have them Trustworthy,
and 1t was difficult to get men of this class for
merely temporary employment, such as
l offered. At last~the nsntter was ar
ranged, and by the end of the week mus
tered body OF six stout fellows, all of them
fairly we'll mounted, and, what was bet
ter, all of them trained soldiers. I had
them lodged near the Ripetta, and the car.
dinals table afforded them a free dinner.
Of which they were not slow to take advan-
tage. In order to keep them employed, /
took them out with me every afternoon, dis
missing them upon my return, with orders
to JOIN the nightly escort Of the cardinal
and Bayard, to and from the vatican. l
saw good deal of Bayard, and at times ex-
pressed myself with impotence at being
kept TO cool my heels. He told me that
he was not at liberty to mention the de-
tails of the business on which I was to be
employed, and advised me to bide my i!u1e
with patient heart. Amongst other mat
tiers we spoke of was the murder of Pierrot,
and Bayard told me that Cesarc Borgia had
left Rome the next day without seeing his
father, the pope, and that he was crushing
out completely the stand made against him
by my old chief Vitelli of Citta del CASTILLO,
| and others.
l took Bayard's advice and held patience
by the tail, although I longed for work
to begin. My men were in good fettle They
had enough work to keep them out of mis-
chief, the pay was good, they had su1ti.
cient leisure for amusement, and there was
therefore no grumbling.

Cot What He Was Fishing For.

Fishing is always an interesting
pastime For boys, and it is supposed to
conduce to aphilosophic frame of mind.
but not always. The other day a small
boy sat on the edge of the wharf, in
tently watching his line. A benevolent
old gentleman regarded the boy INTENT
ly for long time, and then asked
"What are you fishing for, my boy?"
"Bites," replied the boy, snappishly, at
the same time looking around with an
impudent grin. At that instant big
fish gave tremendous tug at the line
and over went the boy. He was fished
out, but his mouth and ears were full
of mud and his fishing tackle was los*,
and the old gentleman beamed placidly
on the dripping boy.-Golden Days.

SURGEONS COLLECTION.
An Instance Of the Great Prenchcr,s
PrOmptness In Providing
for Others

In Surgeons autobiography there
is an interesting instance of the quick
ness, readiness and energy which char
acterized his mind and his actions.
During his first year in London, Spur
geon was invited to preach at Tring.
The clergyman there, a worthy man
whose stipend amounted to only about
Is sh:llings week, invited him to tea
at his house. While they sat in his
humble home the eminent preachers
conscience smotc him because his good
deacon and himself were consuming
some of the scanty store of provisions,
and he began to think of some plan by
which they could repay the clergyman
for his hospitality.
Noting that his friend was, wearing
an alpaca coat which was very shiny
and in places so worn that he could See
through it, Spurgeon hit upon his plan.
So at the end Of the evening service he
said to the congregation:
Nov, dear friends, have preached
to you as we'll as could, and you know
what our Saviour said to His disciples:
Freely We have received, freely give
I don't want anything from you for my
self, but the minister of this chapel
looks to me as though he would not OBJ
ject to new suit of clothes.''
Spurgeon then pointed down to his
deacon and said:
FEATHER Olney, down there, I am sure
VIII start the collection with half SOW
ereign.''
Father Olney at once nodded his
head to confirm this statement.
II will gladly give the same amount,
and if you all help as much as you can,
our brother will soon have new suit,
and good one, too"
The collection was made, it realized
a very fair sum, and the minister was
in due time provided with a suit

Bees in the Far West.

There was a time when it was thought
bees could not be kept in that part of
the country which used to be called
the great American DESERT" but COR
respondent of the Bee Journal who
lives in that region tells how he began
in the spring of 1879 with seven colo
MES which increased to sixteen besides
yielding him 1920 pounds of honey,
half extracted and half comb. In 1898
his bees increased to 30 colonies
and he got ], 415pounds of honey. Farm
era in more favored portions of the
country could do better than this and
save and turn into money the sweets
that now uselessly waste along fence
rows, streams and other uncultivated
portions of their lands.

AMONG THE POULTRY.
Keep all young fowls dry.

Keep all young fowls dry.
Give the hens all the skim milk you
can.
A pair of geese should yield So worth
of feathers in q year.
Keep fat hens on ground oats and
avoid corn and wheat.
Vary the food sufficiently to keep
the fowls in good appetite.
A little salt in the soft food given to
the fowls will be acceptable.
At this time it is poor economy to
stint the growing chickens.
AS warm weather comes on lice will
increase much more rapidly.
One of the best remedies for over
fairness is plenty of exercise.
The pullet that begins to lay earliest
in life will lay the largest number Of
eggs.
Young poultry of no kind should be
allowed to wade around in the wet
grass.
Nothing will prevent hen from lay
ing sooner than an expensive diet Of
cornmeal.
Give the hens all possible freedom
of range and there will be less soft
shelled eggs.
Foods rich in oil should not be fed
to hens except in small quantities, es-
pecially in warm weather.
Pigeons will thrive in small yards.
They must be mated or an extra male
will cause them to quarrel.
It is not the largest fowl that is the
most vigorous, but the one with full,
bright eye, heavy bone and compact
body.
Never use coal oil or grease of any
kind on the setting hens, as it will close
the pores of the eggshells, so they will
not hatch.
In selecting the breeding fowls, if the
hens are somewhat dark let the cocks
be lighter; and if the hens are heavy,
use lighter cock.
Be careful not to overfeed. It is
variety of feed and shell-producing ar
ticles that bring the best results. Ex-
perience is the best guide as to guam
tity.-St. Louis Republic.

Guinea Eggs Pack Nicely.

It seems strange the pretty guinea
fowl is not more reared than it is; no
fowl living lays SO well, none rear their
young with SO little trouble or care to
the owner. They hatch out in the
meadows or fields, and invariably bring
home quite nice flock of such pretty
little birds; they fly up in trees to rest
when quite small. If set and reared I'M
der ordinary hens they are very gentle,
and will make their nests with the
chickens. The writer has for years
packed great quantities of guinea eggs
in the fall; we use them all winter in
every way; they keep we'll. Never
packed chicken eggs, as the guinea eggs
keep nicely and the chicken eggs are
sent to market. The guinea fowls are
not at all destructive.-Country Gentle

ABOUT BROODER CHICKS.
Them Summarized for the Ben
at of Small Farmers,

Mr. Won Culin is one of the few gen.
orally acknowledged experts on incu-
baton and brooder chicks. The follow
ing summary of the Won Culin method
will apply also to chicks Matched under
hens and reared by brooders:
Chickens should be taken out of the
incubator as soon as they are dry, placed
in a basket with a piece of flannel I'M
der and over them, and the basket set
near a stove or in warm place and the
chicks not fed for "a hours.
After that time remove them from
the basket into brooder heated be-
tween 80 and 30 degrees and feed with
a few bread crumbs. Keep clean water
constantly before them, but have the

The Profit II Satisfactory.

Most of the experienced poultrymen
estimate that each hen will afford q
profit of 81 per year. This may seem
small to some, but it means after the
interest on the capital, food. and other
cash expenses are paid. It is really a
large profit, as most hens are not valued
at more than half that sum, and with
flock of hens it represents the inter-
est of $500 at six per cent. When we
take into consideration the fact that on
most farms the actual capital invested
in poultry is very small, the profit from
hens is usually quite large. The sick
fowls, or those that do not lay, reduce
the average for all the members OF tho
f1ock.-American Gardening.

vessel containing the water so arranged
that they cannot get themselves wet.
You can buy fountains for this purpose
or can make them yourself by placing
tumbler upside down in an ordinary COT
fee saucer.
After the first feeding they must be
inclosed under the hover of your brood
er until the next feeding. Do not neg
lect to do that; it is very important.
Feed often, but little at a time, as they
cannot digest much at a time, and posi-
lively must not be overfed Overfeed-
ing will produce bowel complaint as
quickly as anything else. They should
be we'll fed and yet kept little hungry.
Feed them about four or five times a
day at regular hours, and see that they
all return to their hover after each feed
ing. Scrape up what feed is left, if any,
and throw it away or give it to the pigs
or your full grown chickens. Young
chicks must never eat stale feed. They
must be taught to go under hover each
day until they learn what it is for, and
where to go when they get cold.
They must also be taught right from
the first to eat everything that is good
for them, like screenings, millet seed,
cracked corn, whole wheat and baked
corn meal cakes pulverized. Wheat and
cracked corn should be their predom-
mating food after the fifth day. After
week or ten days, you may let them
outside the brooder, making them come
in early in the evening, or at any time
during the day should it begin to rain.
Do this for day or SO and they will
have learned to take care of themselves.
Chicks are absolutely ignorant, they
know nothing but what you teach
them. Be sure to keep them in your
mind.
Never keep any more feed before
young chicks, while confined in the
brooder, than they will eat up clean,
but after you let them run outside the
brooder, always keep dry grain food in
the brooder, in little trough, so as to
entice them to return to the brooder
their only home.
See that their feed trough in the
brooder is full before shutdown.
Chicks must not be overfed.
Chicks must be kept warm.
Chicks must be taught correct habits
in the first days of their youth.
Chicks must have more attention
than wheat or corn.
These rules apply to chickens, ducks
and turkeys.-Farm and Home.
