The brood nest is the space inside the
hive occupied by the eggs and brood.
DO not spread the brood nest in the
spring by inserting combs or frames Of

Usually it is best to use foundation In
full sheets for the brood nest and to cut
all drone comb.
The best queens are those that are
reared either during the swarming time
or when the bees are about to supersede
an old queen soon to fall.

wholly of adult bees, they will build

Death of Cavalry Horse Recalls the
Famous Battle.
The death in this city last week of
"Billy," an old cavalry horse. closes the
last chapter in the story of the gallant
fight of Gen. Custer and his brave band
on the Little Big Horn in 1876. Found
wandering around on the battlefield,
badly wounded and smiling at the dead
bodies of the victims of Sitting Bulls
hordes in an effort to find his master,
"Billy' was taken in charge by an Of
fcer in Gen. RenO's command. At first
the animal recovered slowly, but medi-
cine and kind treatment had the desired
effect, and in few months "Billy' was
himself again. Mai. Thomas f. Talbot
of this city saw Billy" and took great
fancy to him. and after much persuasion
Quartermaster Sergeant Ross of Fort
Russell consented to sell the faithful old
fellow and the major became his new
master. says Chicago Inter Ocean dis

TO PROTECT FEATHeReo sANlTARiANs

TO PROTECT FEATHEREO SANlTARiANS.
According To a circular Just issued by
the committee on the protection of birds
of the American Ornithologists union,
the agents and employees of the dealers
in mil nery supplies are making such
vigorous and ruthless attacks on the sea
birds as will bring the various tribes of
gullS on the Atlantic coast close to the
point of utter determination. The com
mittee therefore appeals earnestly To the
public to aid in stopping this slaughter
The matter is one of no less practical
than sentimental and aesthetic interest.
The gulls are NOT simply harmless and
beautiful creatures. the presence of
which lends animation TO sea and shore
and Is a source of endless pleasure to all
in whom the commercial instinct has not
destroyed the higher and gentler emo
tons. but they are feathered sanitarians,
and every one of them works hard and
tirelessly at the task of keeping our har-
bOrs and bays clear of material repulsive
to human eyes and dangerous to human
health. But for them many of the
beaches along the coast would become
uninhabtable.
The British government imposes 4
heavy fine for the killing of sea gulls,
essentially upon the ground of their
usefulness in warming mariners against
the dangers of running their ships on
rocks and reefs.
/ IL is the special purpose of the Orntho-
/ lOgists' unions protective committee To
guard the breeding places of the gulls
and prevent their destruction by the pur-
veyOrs to fashions dcvOtces. Much has
already been done in this direction al
Great Gull island and the Vineyard
group of the Massachusetts, coast. and
similar oversight i, greatly needed at a
number of islets along the coasts of

land. Virginia and Florida. The com
fmitter should certainly have such aid
and encouragement as il Is in the power
of the public to give. Rutland News.

Early Training.

AUSTIN. Tex. Dec. 1s,-Channing B.
Barnes, the train robber whose dead body
is reported to have been found in swamp
near New Orleans, is the son of Charles
W. Barnes, grocer of this city. Chan
ming was thirty-two years old, and left
home about twelve years ago. He was
wild youth, despite the religious and edu
cationaI training which his parents gave
him. After leaving home he committed
bold bank robbery in California, for which
he was convicted and served term in the
penitentiary.
After his release from prison he returned
to Austin and spent short time here,
and then went to Mexico, where he re-
mained for some time. He was next heard
of in St Louis, where he married a sales
woman and was ostensibly engaged in the
commission business.
He and his brother Charles W. Barnes,
held up and robbed an Illinois Central train
near Wickliffe, Ky. last July. Charles was
captured. but Claiming escaped after

St. Louis. Channings wife is now living
in Austin with her husbands parents. She
does not credit the report Of his death.

New Orleans. He does not believe the

The Arkansas State officers are repre-

the claim of the bank is that it was

the old issue for the new one. 1t was
