rir.t PRINCIPLES with Bees.


Bees when frightened by smoke will
imme diately gorge themselves with
honey aud lose all inclination to sting.
The most vicious colony Of hybr ds
may be controlled by using a little to-
bacco In the smoke.
The prosperity of colony depends
upon the fertility Of the queen. If weak
colonies have become pOpulous IN one
season kill the queen and give them an
other.
Toads. skunks and mice are great enc
mics to bees: see that they do MT have
access to the apiaiy.
Increasing or dividing should be done
as early as possible, hut not until stores
are coming in abundantly.
Drones are just as essential rs any
other bee. but too many are nuisance.
This may be controlled by cutting out
drOne comb and substituting wo kFr
comb or foundation.
Drones nay lie prohibited IN oo.er-
tionaLle colonies by dividing early IN
the spring.
Keep all colonies strong"

Prepare your ground with fine pull
verified surface. Mark rows 3 feet u
inches to 3 feet inches apart. Plant
either in hills or drill rows. When your
corn is large enough to p.ow, commence
by blowing the first row on the side Of
the field. Skip every other row. When
you have gone over the entire field In
this way. commence blowing the rows
which have been missed. find that
by this method it is much easier to turn
without breaking down corn at the
ends, especially SO after corn Is knee
high or higher. In dry hot weather this
method OF blowing keeps down the
weeds better and Is less injurious to
the roots Of the corn. This method re-
tains the moisture much better than
blowing the rows as they come. WO
are able also to kill weeds In the GEN.
ter of rows much more readily because
those that have not died as the result
Of the first blowing may be killed On

Wednesday. April 4. has been fixed
by Attorney General Elkin as the time
for hearing the application of the Del
aware and Southern Railroad company
against the Erie and wyoming valley
company for a writ of quo warranto,
requiring the latter to show by what
right It assumes to build and operate
an additional line between Lackawaxen
and Hawley.
The Delaware and Southern was
chartered Nov. 90. last. to construct
a line from connection with the Erie
at Lackawaxen to one with the Jeher-
son at Hawley 1t objects to the Erie
and Wyoming building another line be-
tween those points because, 1t is
claimed, the Erie and Wyoming ex-
hausted the rights of it's franchise.
when it completed its line by buying
the Pennsylvania Coal company's road
between Lackawaxen and Hawley. 1t
also claims that the transfer of the
old canal To the Erie and Wyoming
was invalid because the Cornell Steam
boat company never had rights TO
acquire property in Pennsylvania.
This is another move to prevent the
building of the new Delaware Valley
and Kingston road The Erie and
Wyoming leased to the Erie the line
which 1t secured from the Pennsyl-
vania and IL prevented from building
the new connecting link. as proposed,
will have to wait nine years for the
expiration Of the lease with-the Erie,
before 1t can get connection be-
tween LackawaXen and Hawley.
