In late issue of the american
Bee Journal Edwin Bevins claims
to have discovered two alternative
ways in which laying worker colo
MES can be disposed ofso as to get
all the service out of the bees that
they can render, and yet keep the
number of colonies up to what it
was before. One way is to place
the hive containing the laying
workers over u strong colony with
fertile queen, placing a newspaper
with small hole in it between the
two hives. The bees will unite
peaceably, and when considerable
worker brood appears in the upper
hive the hive can be placed on an
other stand and the bees willrear a
queen from the brood, if the old
queen is left in the lower hive; or a
fertile queen can be introduced
about three days after the removal
of the hive. The other plan involves
the taking of a couple of frames of
Matching brood from a hive and
placing them in another hive over
strong colony, with frame hav-
ing wire cloth nailed to both sides
OF 1T between the two hives. Then
fertile queen and her escort are
released on the two combs, and in
few days there will be a nucleus
strong enough to take care of the
queen. This hive is then set down
by the side of the hive holding the
laying workers. Every two or three
days frame with its bees must be
transferred from the laying worker
hive to the nucleus. By the time
all but two of the frames are placed
IN the new hive the queen is at
work there, and everything is har-
monious. As regards the two frames

FOR THE FARMER.
Manure Experience.

There is quite good deal in the
agricultural papers about handling
manure, and when and how to apply
it. | have beer farmer for a good
many years and have practiced
drawing manure from the stable as
fast as it is made through the Winter
until the ground broke up in the
Spring. What was made after that
lay in heaps in the yard until Fall,
and then was hauled onto the next
years corn ground aud spread as it
was drawn. Some writer's claim
that manure exposed to the sun and
rain will lose large portion of its
value if left in that condition any
length of time. Now | am not going
to dispute the truth of their theory,
but if any Of those writers will take
the trouble to visit me next Summer
will take them to my corn field
and they can see for themselves the
difference between the Winter and
Fall drawn in the growing corn.
And | have another palmer proof,
if possible, that manure will not
lose it's strength to the extent that
some writer's claim. When | came
on the farm now own forty-four
years ago it had been worked on
shares for a number of years. The
man had kept no stock, except a
team and cow or two on the place.
He did his threshing and threw the
straw out of the barn without stack
ing it, and this he did year after
year. When | came to the place
there was big pile Of straw that
had lain some of it for years exposed
to all sorts of weather, and it looked
as II there were no strength in it,
and | did not think there was, but
we wanted it away from the barn,
and we drew it on piece of ground
that we had moved, which did not
yield three hundred pounds OF hay
to the acre. When we went to work
at the stuff it was all dried in chunks
as big as ones hat, and we could
not get it to pieces, but did the best
we could. 1t didn't make any

difference, as we thought it was of
no account, but we drew it all out
and put on the above-named piece
of ground. This was in the Fall, and
now for the result The next Spring,
when the ground settled and the
grass began to grow, we began to
see the effects of the old dried up
straw, and when we moved it we
found grass as big as it could stand
and as thick as hairs on a dog,
while the rest of the field remained
as it was | am not going to t eorize
or explain anything about it; |

The Ounce IA Valuable Fruit.

There is evidently profitable
field open for orchardists, as for
farmers, in growing ounces. One
thing about fruit-growing of any
kind is that too many trees for
home use or for the local market
and not enough for shipment under
contract with city dealers is an
unhappy medium to strike. Take
into consideration what use is to be
made of the fruit and plant trees to
meet that end.
Ounce trees are very hardy, take
up less room than any other trees,
unless it be the plum, and are easy
to propagate. Yearling trees are
best, but two or even three year-olds
bear transplanting admirably.
Trees fruit the fourth year Well
rotted scions, or side shoots, may
be taken off and SCI out each year.
They will make fine trees. This self
propagation is decidedly in its
favor, as from n few ounce trees
bought from the nursery an orchard
may be established.
Ounce orchards are parative-
ly rare, when they should he given
a place upon farms in all sections.
Even a few trees are profitable,
small and large orchards pro
portionately more so. The fruit has
ever been considered one of the
most valuable Of all kinds for jelly
making, preserving, and canning
In fact, the ounce is an ideal fruit
for housekeepers. 1t ripens at the
close of Summer and beginning of
Autumn, when the rush of Summer
work is over. Hou-ekeepers have
time to handle ounces then, and,
as the heat of Summer is over, the
preserves, jellies, and canned fruit
are sure to keep well. The edible
qualities of the ounce are not so
much to speak of in the uncooked
state, but the flavor and quality
when cooked cannot be surpassed
1t is sugary and sweet.

must teach how far from the tree
trunk the roots extend, for care
must he taken not to disturb them
during the Summer or feeding time.
Good stable manure may be
spread on the surface of the soil
after the latter is frozen, provided
the ground Is comparatively level
so the fertilizing constituents may
not be washed away. AS the feed
ing roots are principally on the out
side, the manure need not be spread
at the base of large trees, but in a
circle several feet therefrom. An
other. but more laborious method
is to dig shallow trenches running
toward the base of the tree, and fill
in well-rotted or composted manure.
Root pruning, to make too vigor-
Gus trees more productive, and top
pruning to thin out old wood, letting
light and air amongst the branches,
are also good subjects for the
amateur to look intO-Meehans'

taken to form the nucleus, they can
be returned to the places from which
they were taken, or these places can
be filled by the frames remaining
unused in the laying worker hive.

Cultivation in the Amateurs Orch
ard.

Every one likes good fruit, and
but few gardens, however small, are
thought complete without it. But,
notwithstanding the appreciation
for good fruit, it is seldom found
perfect in small gardens or orchards
The fault lies in too much depend
ence on the trees, or rather lack
of interest in cultural methods.
Trees are planted out in perhaps
the most careful manner, after which
they are expected to care for them
selves and produce good fruit abund-
antly. The fact is, they need con-
tinual attention just as much as we
do. This need not develope into
burden if regularly and properly
attended to.
Now one of the most important
conditions to insure thrift is a soil
mellow and cool in hot and dry
weather, yet how frequently may
trees be seen growing in sod or to-
gether with some crop that does not
require cultivation. Such trees
quickly outlive their usefulness, and
their stunted branches can only
produce understood and immature
fruit.
Then old trees are expected to
live on a small allowance of food.
1t is forgotten that the roots of a
tree have to get their food from
nearly the same soil year after year,
and in the case of sod land, even
this food must be divided.
To have good fruit, health and
vigor must be encouragement rank
growth, which might be induced by
overlooking, for this is opposed to
fruit bearing.
For most moderated-sized orch
ards or gardens,it would be desire
able to commence cultivating by
blowing between the rows in late
Fall, but in light soils, Summer
narrowing is sufficient. Judgement
must be exercised, as to the extent
of cultivation, depending on the
] condition of the trees. Experience

there were four siX-horse stages run

competition was so prominent that the
fare at one time from Virginia to Hell
ena was as low as $3.50. The usual fare
was $25 one way. Gov says he started
in making the drive, 120 miles, in 16
hours and before six months, by care
full manipulating, had reduced the time
to 10 hours. Mr.. Pollnger's expert
ences in that line would make an inter

Tradition of the Wedding Ring.

The wearing of the wedding ring on the
third finger of the left hand follows the
custom of the Egyptians, who believed
that finger to be directly connected by a
slender nerve to the heart itself. And
these ancient worshipers of Isis held this
finger sacred to Apollo, and gold was
therefore chosen as the metal for the
ring.

Too many club women think only of
being entertained at the club meeting;
they don't know much about what was
said or done, they only know that
everything passed off smoothly and the
afternoon was a pleasant one. But the
earnest student cannot fail to observe
the great danger threatening the
Women's club-the frantic effort to
grasp everything in sight-and long for
the time when club women will under
take less and accomplish more.
