IN SWARMING TIME.
How the Bees are Persuaded to Take Up
Their Lodgings in Hive.

How the Bees are Persuaded to Take Up
Their Lodgings in Hive.
AT the Bee-keeper'S in Swarming
Time is the title of the following ac-
count in the May st. Nicholas of the
means employed to lure sWarming bees
into hive
Let us imagine ourselves at a farm
house far back in the country, where
honey-bees are kept and cared for by
the Oid-fashiOned method. 1t is pleas
ant forenoon in the latter part of May
The barefooted boy that Whittier told
us about rushes across the yard from
the old apple-tree under which he and
his friends have been playing, dashes
into the house, breathless in his eager
excitement, and loudly shouts:
Mother, mother, the bees are swarm
ing!"
Now, Just why he should be in such
haste is not easily explained; probably
the boy himself could not tell; but true
1t is that the swarming of bees causes
the boy and all others to rush around as
nothing else would do but an alarm that
the house or barn was on fire.
The mother needs no second sum-
MONS She drops the work in hand,
rushes out, and shading her eyes with
one Hdllu, taxes d Nasty look ut Une
cloud of bees lowering over and around
one side of the old apple-tree and ex-
citedly exclaims:
Eyes, Ned; they're swarming, sure
enough. You must run to the barn-lot
corn-tield and call your father and
john
And away goes Ned, with his play
mates trying in vain to keep up with
him.
Mother goes back into the kitchen,
and makes mixture of vinegar molas-
ses and water, with which she is soon
scrubbing the inside of an empty hive:
to make the new home sweet and
clean for the bees
The cloud of bees in the air settles
lower and seems smaller as a cluster
begins to form on one of the lower
limbs of the tree. By this time Farmer
Rood and his ''hired man. John have
arrived. He first spreads on the ground
sheet that Ned has brought from the
house. A small stone is placed on each
corner to keep it smooth and fiat. John
brings the hive from the back of the
house, where it has been turned bottom
upwards toward the sun to dry out a
little.'' 1t must be just >right-not com
pletely dried out, yet not wet. A rail
from the neighboring fence holds the
hive in a slanting position so that the
raised open edge is directly under the
cluster
The Republican journal., 1900-05-10

When all is ready the farmer adj
vances with one of the poles used in
propplng up the clothes-line in the back
yard. and the rest go back short dis
tance; There is a minute or two of
breathless suspense, and then he hits
the limb with the pole, and turns and
runs.
This is the signal for all to run in va
rlous directions. The cluster falls in a
SOLID mass, but almost immediately
about half the bees rise into the air,
making IN cloud OF bees all the way from
the hive to the limb. Oh (which some set.
tie. A few go into the hive but ofte1
nearly all go back on the limb and the
process Of knocking the limb and run
nlng away may be repeated several
times. If the bees like the hive, fewer
go back to the limb each time, and fin
ally the few ON the limb leave of thei]
own accord and go into the hive witt
the others.

The J. G. Aver s. Co. Celebrate the Com
pletion of Extensive improvements.
The j. c. Aver & Co. of Lowell celebrat-
ed, last week, the completion of extensive
improvements to its great plant. Over 15C
guests, leading business men of Boston,
New York and other cities, were present,
and after thorough inspection of the build
ings there was served an elaborate banquet,
followed by speeches from General Manager
Rose, Mayor Crowley Of Lowell, Hon. Geo
A. Marden, Stephen O'NIeara Of the Boston
Journal, and other prominent men. It was
happy occasion and shows not only the
progressive spirit of this famous old firm
but also the public esteem in which it is
held. "The House of Aver" is prosperous
and deserves its prosperity. Its remedies
are as reliable as their fame is wide. The
growth of the business has been emo rmous
and no doubt the present great plant, so
superbly equipped, will see another enlarge
ment before many years.

Who was the Heroine?

One woman bravely Went affair
10 lands made desolate by war;
She cared for wounded, sick and dead.
The naked clothed, the hungry fed.
Another spent the whole of life
Fulfilling duties of a wife
And matchmaking home a bright
Chaste spot of love and sweet delight.
The first one died-whole columns told
Her virtues and her deeds of gold
The other one day gently slept
Her children and her husband wept.
