dom that a swarm goes off from him.
This is because he so we'll understands
them. For instance, the swarming
tendency is controlled entirely by the
Queen No colony Of bees can tolerate
more than one queen in a hive at a
time. The death of a queen means
trouble. In such an event, the bees
Immediately begin their arrangements
to produce her successor. This is done
by Gaping over several cells contain
ing more recently laid eggs. Then the
EGGS, as they develop into worms, are
either fed on a different kind of food
from the other bees, or a larger guam
tity, Of the same kind. Within 16 days
a queen is produced, possibly several.
In the event all attempts fail, the col
ony is doomed to extinction, and il
the event there is more than one, the
surplus queens are made way with in
some manner. To provide for cortiL-
gencies, the bees have a queen cell or
two in proper shape all the while. II
the colony does we'll during the first
honey-making season, it sets up a new
queen and drives the old queen
out with a big crowd Of workers
and drones. This makes the swarm.
And here is where Mr.. Simpsons
knowledge comes in. Heisaw ar that
no colony would attempt to set up an
establishment of its own without a
queen, and, therefore, he handicaps
the queens by clipping their wings.
That is, he clips only n wing-a small
piece eff the end of it-just enough to
prevent flight.
When a swarm of bees attempt to go
off with a queen that cannot fly, it
speedily meets up with trouble. The
swarm settles On a neghboring tree
maybe, and the queen may get there
also by crawling. Then, as the next
step, scouts are sent out to find q de
sirable place for a hive. When the
scouts return, the bees attempt to
leave. but soon discovering that shey
are without a queen, they return to
the point from which they started. On
redisc overing the queen, they make
another attempt, with the same result
as before, and finally give it up as a
Dad job.
II Mr.. Simpson should come along in
the meantime, and this is very likely,
ne hunts out the queen, places her in a
wire cloth cage and places this cage
zeal the entrance to a hive. Pretty
soon the colony begins to swarm around
1er, aod then he sets her free and
starts her into her new home. The
other bees follow, and the operation of
living is over without 80 much as a
sting to the operator, or a great deal Of
trouble.
This trick of clipping the wings of
q Teens, however, is a matter that must

GEES do not like the iden Of the eight
ast defect in the queen, and when they
are satie fed that she cannot fly, they
will have nothing more to with her.
It generally takes them four or five at
to make a swarm before they
seem to find out certainly the cause Of
their trouble.

Protect Our Food.

The doctors inform us that alum is a
poison, and that alum baking powders
should be avoided because they make
the food unwholesome. Prominent n.y.
CHEMISTS, who have given the matter
most study, regard these powders as an
evil that should be suppressed by state
action. In Minnesota and Wisconsin
alum powders are not permitted to be
sold unless they are branded to warn
consumers of their true character, while
in the District of Columbia the author
tiles have, under the direction of con-
gress, adopted regulations to prohibit
the use of alum in bread altogether.
Are not the people of other states, as
well as those of Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, entitled to warning of a danger
which is apparently menacing them at
close hand, and is not the whole country
entitled to absolute protection, as the
people of the District of Columbia are
protected, by legislation which is entire
ly p%rohibitive?
Until we can have protection in the
form OF a statute, how can our state
boards of health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public than
by publishing in the newspapers from
time to time the names of the baking
powders which they find to be made
from alum?
Meantime, it will aid the housewife in
designating the alum powders to remem-
Der that all powders sold at rs cents or
less per pound are of this dangerous
class. Pure cream of tartar powders
are usually sold at from As to so cents a

COPPER PROPERTIES ABOUND
A Detailed Description of the Country
to the West Of the Town Of Taos
and Tributary to Mines
Which Ship.

General Superintendent Nudge and
Chief Engineer Dun, of the Santa Fe,
Civil Engineer Jones, w. H. Alberger
and Mr.. Schafer have gone from Las
Vegas by wagon over the proposed line
of railway to Taos. The mineral re-
sources of the Taos country are now
attracting much attention. The rail-
way people are to ascertain the extent
of these.
In the Taos Cresset of recent date H.
M. Cobb wrote as follows Of the mineral
section west of Taos:
At Vallecitos we saw some exceed
ingly attractive prospects, the most
meritorious being owned by Mr.. Ray
mer.
Near the Whale, which is situated in
the Bromide district, there are some
fifty men working throughout the
brush, though some very nice prospects
have been opened up, there is nothing
of unusual Importance to excite at
tention.
The Whale mine, which promises to
be nj of the most important copper
properties Of northern New Mexico, at
the present time is employing about
ten men. They have shipped several
car loads of ore that has Melted them
$1,000 per car load. The property has
been worked by means of two shafts,
| and it is in the western shaft that they
| are now sinking, and it is from here
| that the larger part of the rich ore has
been extracted. AS they continue to
sink the ore continues to improve
showing many of the varieties of cop
per-the oxides, carbonates (malachite
and azurites and pyrites). The richest
values seem to be in a red and black
oxide of copper carrying a gold value
of $34 per ton.
Where the Whale vein, which is 5 feet
in width, intersects a large silicious
quartz dyke, the country rock is i'm
pregnated for a radius of 100 feet witt
copper. In this radius, or ore chute, the
ore averages Z per cent copper, as has
been demonstrated by samples taken
Assuming that the same values con.
tinue in the smaller 5-foot vein which
remains to be opened up, then the per.
manency of the mine is assured. From
the present indications we would say
that the Whale mine is a phenomenon
and a wonder.
We also visited the old Romero work.
ings. This property once shipped a sill.
ver-copper ore that ran as high as SIS,
900 per ton. But the mine has been il
litigation for a number of years, and
the original workings are mostly cavet
in. The country rock here is of a mica
ceous schist.
AS a summary, We will say that Bro
mide offers unusual inducements to the
prospector. The country has an alti-
tude of 10000 feet, and is yet not really
mountainous, but rather a rolling or flat
country. Water and timber abound
| and good roads make the mines acces.
sible. The veins are generally of a
true-fissure variety, and do not dir
much, entering the earth at an angle
of 80 degrees.
Quoting Mr.. Deitrichs, who is an au-
| thority on copper: rive have a second
Butte here. The formation is identical
the matrix similar, and before the year
is out we will convince the outside
world that we have the mines, too.
