HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Tall sections require more honey to
fill them.
Feeding should begin as soon as warm
weather sets in.
The average life of queen bee is
about two and half years.
Many keepers clip the queens wings
when they hive their swarms.
Old queens may be moderately pro-
ductive early in the spring.
Young queens are the most prolific
and are less inclined to swarm.
Stimulative feeding is the means by
which colonies are made strong,
Some queens are better at three years
old than others are at two years.
Italian bees are better workers and
are more easily controlled than black
ones.
Approach hive of bees from the side
or rear, so as not to disturb the bees at
work.
Strong colonies prevented from
swarming is the key to large honey
crops.
If moth once gain a footing in the
hives the colonies will soon be de-
stroyed
Eastwood is said to be the greatest
honey producer for the time that it is
in bloom.
There is no possible economy in TAX
ing from strong colony to build up
weak one.
Any colony of bees will be capable of
turning robbers if proper inducements
are offered.
Colonies that are well fed will in
crease to more than double the number
of those not fed.
Leaving honey about at any time
where they can get at it will often start
the bees to robbing,
There must be promptness in putting
on surplus boxes or sections whenever
the hives are crowded.
A large number of extra combs are
necessary when extracted honey is the
object sought.-St. Louis Republic.

Under certain conditions the dead

The merchant had little daughter,

In the bottom of this hole put some

THE HEsSIAN FLY.
what Modern chronological Science
Has Done 20 Check the Raw
ages of the Pest.

No enemy to the wheat grower is
more generally dreaded than the Hes
sian fly 1t is more than 800 years since
this peat was first introduced into this
country, as it is supposed to have been
brought by Hessian soldiers, who
brought out and scattered straw which
contained either the larvae or the per-
feet insect. That was in eastern New
York, and the pest spread westward
at the rate of about 20 miles per year.
When western New York became tho
great wheat granary of the country,
the Hessian fly was reckoned the most
destructive enemy that the wheat
grower had. But pretty soon farmers
learned never to follow wheat after
wheat, on account of the scattered
grain, which would give chance for
the female fly to deposit her eggs. BY
putting off wheat sowing until after
the first frost, immunity from the pest
was secured for the following year.
There was usually, however, enough
scattering wheat that comes up early
to make place for the fly to deposit
her eggs.
There are various parasites that keep
the Hessian fly in check. TWAS the alb
scnce of these that at first made the
fly so destructive. But of late years
scientific entomologists have discov-
cred so many parasites both of Ameri-
can and European origin that there il
now but little trouble from the fly.
Where the fly was once most abundant
in the spring wheat regions of Iowa,
the entomologist in that state found
difficulty in procuring single perfect
specimen. Wherever the parasite has
not yet reached, the Hessian fly may
prove very destructive if it should gain
entrance. But there are now so many
known parasites that the pest cannot
make great Roadway without arousing
cntomologists all over the country in
efforts to destroy it. The great droughts
which often prevail in some of tho
western wheat-growing states so dry
up the plant that the egg or the larvae
perish, as it is too dry for them. 1t
is an insect that, unlike most other,
needs a moist, cool climate for its best

GEN. wHEELER's CHIvALRY.
now He Made One Little Girl Happy
When lie Was n Dashing Con-
federnte Officer.

1t was in the town of Athens, Tenn,
in the year 1864. The territory covered
by the eastern division of the state in
which the town lies was then on the
border, and was flercely contended for
as disputed ground by both armies
the federals and confederates,
Alternately the hosts of each had
swept over the beautiful hills and fer
tile valleys, like the ebb and flow of
the tides, each leaving death aud de-
struction in its wake. All the able
bodied men subject to military draft
had gone to one or other of the armies,
and the country had been robbed of its
horses, its flocks, and its herds.
The boys and old men converted
handsaw files into bowie knives, which
they carried by day and slept with piss
tolls under their pillows at night. No
man of any prominence of political
opinion was certain one day that he
would not within "a hours be taken
from his family and hustled off to
Camp Chase or Libby prison--if he was
not left along the neighborhood road
side with bullet through him.
While East Tennessee was, by large
majority, loyal to the union, the town
itself, exclusive of the blacks, was
about equally divided in political SEN
timent, even some families being di-
vided, with members in both armies,
father against son, brother against
brother. Two of the principal streets
of the town ran east and west, parallel
with each other, and lay only block
apart. The one from the south was
from the inception of the war desig-
mated as jeff Davis street, because near
ly every citizen on it was either rebel
or rebel sympathizer. The one north
of this was called Lincoln street, near
ly all of its residents being Lincolnites
or unionists.
On the latter street, however, there
was prominent merchant whose SYM
pathies were all with the south and
who had a son in the southern army.
His storehouse was east of the public
square of the town, and on the corner
of the street, while just opposite, on the
other corner were the storehouse and
dwelling of prominent union man
who had sons in the federal army.
The confederates were gradually
yielding the ground to superior forces,
but were doing so doggedly and sullen-
ly. One day the "Yank" would sweep
through, carrying off with him every
thing that could be eaten or worn, and
bringing general dsmay to the citizens
of southern sympathies; the next day,
perhaps, would come the confederates,
looting the town of everything portable
belonging to citizens of union senti-
ment, and causing the Lincolnite resi-
dent to betake himself to the brush,
there to remain till he could hear from
a neighboring hilltop the clatter Of the
hoofs of his enemy's horses leaving the
town.
Following the trail of Burnside's
army like sleuth hound, was, on the
particular occasion of which | write,
a troop of confederate cavalry, on, per-
haps, the last important raid the con-
federates ever made through the town.
By this time they deemed all personal
property of Lincolnite as contraband
of war and subject to seizure. Lincoln
street was full of cavalry horses and its
