Of men.
One or two etiquettes have died out.

who took advantage Of changes Of dynas-

BEE BUZZES.

In hiving swarms all washes for the
hives are useless.
All things considered, pine is the best
material for hives.
Moths do not trouble strong colonies Of
italian bees very often.
When the bees become crowded, they
look out for q new home.
It Is not profitable to keep colony
that has defective queen.
Sawdust or coal ashes are good to put
in front Of the hives as an alighting
place for the bees.
Bottoms of hives will soon rot out II
left resting on the ground and will also
become damp. Raise them about two
inches from the ground.
The worst type of the old black bee In
a box hive may be brought to the highest
state Of perfection by transferring and In
PRODUCING an Italian queen.
In introducing new queen 1t Is best
first to remove the old one, as colony
of bees that already have queen do not
care to accept q second one.
Swarms should be hived Immediately
after clustering, because, with few ex-
ceptions, swarms alight in the immediate
vicinity of the hive after issuing from
the hive.-St. Louis Republic.

A DanrerOus Insect.

One of the most dangerous insects
known in the northern United States has
the scientific name Pedica ardens and is
commonly called the foot warmer. Con-
nected with it's upper jaw it has long,
proboscis)ike projection. extremely hard
and sharp and shaped much like shoe.
makers awI. lts habit is to lie on it's
back in tha road and wait for somebody
to step on 1t and drive the awl up into
his foot through the sole of his shoe.
The wound is almost always fatal, as the
proboscis from being exposed to the
damp evening air. becomes rusty and,
breaking of in the wound, produces lock-
Jaw, so that the patient dies in terrible
agony. In a few cases the patient has
been saved by prompt amputation Of
the foot. The insect itself is, Of course,
killed by being stepped on. Its natural
food is bccswax. which it tries to obtain
by drilling into a beehive with its awl-4
like proboscis. When it does this, the
bees always cluster around it and sting
Il to death.

stand up and soon pronounced them one.
'"There was an awkward pause after
the ceremony, during which the groom
shifted uneasily from one foot to the
other. Finally, after violent effort to
clear his throat, he said:
