There is no breed that produces uni

eggs, but there will always be some
individuals that will lay eggs of both

dozen pullets with the same sire)
from hen that lays very dark eggs
you will not find two of them to lay
eggs of the same shade. although they
will be full sisters. Take a hundred

PARASITES IN HIVES
How 10 Extermtnate Insects Witch
Prey Upon the Honey Accumu-
lntiOna OF Bees.

The presence OF ants, cockroaches
ard other insects of this nature about
bee hives and in supers is largely the
fault of the hive used. Such hives
usually have corners and unoccupieo
places in them wherein such insects
harbor. If you have supers that the
bees do not occupy on the hives re
move them, or learn why the bees do
not go to work in them. Such supers
have open places to admit of these in
sects. Ants, cockroaches and such are
not considered damaging to bees to the
extent of bothering with them, except
in cases where the colony is weak and
cannot occupy all the combs or the
hives and supers. In this case the best
remedy is to build the colony up strong,
10y feeding or giving it brood from other
colonies. and also removing for the
time being all surplus supers or combs,
AID excluding these pests by shutting
them out of such places. The latest
up-to-date hives and supers do not ad-
init of insects, and the different parts
of the hive are not added until the
bees are ready to occupy them.
Ants get in their work of destruc-
ton most by getting on combs of
honey unoccupied by the bees. They
will soon destroy the appearance of
sealed comb honey by cutting the cap
pings full of holes. They will thus
congregate on combs Of honey if the
receptacles containing the same will
admit of them. They may be entire
ly cut off from such by using table
with the legs set in pals of water or
kerosene. Ants are very peculiar
They have their roadways from one
hiding place to another, and frequent
ly travel long distances, and they seem
to act as though they had the right
of way of these thoroughfares of theirs,
and do not even turn about from a
hive of bees, but travel directly over
the bottom board of the hive. Bees
cannot do much with them, but let
them take their way to some extent.
Powdered borax is frequently used
for driving ants from the hives, by
sprinkling it about their haunts; but
the best way to get rid Of them is to
locate their nests, which may easily be
done by following their trail, and pour
bi-sulphide of carbon into the nest,
making a hole in the center and plug
g.ng the hole to retain the fumes of
the samoa. II. Duff, in National
