NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Never pull up the cover that the bees
have so closely sealed down unless COM
PEELED to DO so.
In all hives there should be three
personages-the queen, the worker bee
and the drone.
Be~ekeeping combined with fruit
growing enables one TO take Il double
crop from the same land.
ANY extra work about the apiary
should be attended to and everything
gotten in readiness before the bees be-
gin TO warm.
Worker bees, being undeveloped fe-
males, may now and then be sufficiently
developed to lay eggs, but their eggs
will produce only drones.
The worker bee Toes all the work Of

STORAGE RoON E D
An Important Item Which Union.
tunatciy Is Overlooked by Quite
Number OF Beekeepers.

1t Is Just as unreasonable to expect
bees to store you a crop of surplus
honey, without ample storagc-roCm
properly equipped. as anything can he,
and to complain at the bees for not
doing it is proof sufficient of lack OF
intelligence. Yet it is done.
You will occasionally meet an old
"mossback" that Will tell Won that

we all know that there are tens of
thousands of pounds of honey going
to waste for every one pound gath
cred. for want of bees sufficient TO
save il.
This country is improving faster in
nectar-producing blossoms by far
than the rate of increase of bees.
While it may be true that some locali-
ties are overstocked with bees. vet,
take it as a whole, it would be absurd
to think of.
The amount of storage capacity
properly applied for surplus honey
has all to do with the size of the crop,
and if we do not apply it we fail. We
may have a poor honey flow which
we cannot help. but we can get ready
for it if it comes. and il seldom fails
to pay expenses. to say the least.
The best standard hives are all
equipped with the necessary storage
room for surplus, and if we bring
these into use we seldom make a mis-
take in this particular.
: There is a right time and a wrong
time TO add surplus boxes. but as 4
rule they should be applied at the be-
ginning of the principal honey flow
Of the season. Colonies must be
strong to at once accept them, and
weak colonies should not have them
put on until they become strong. Su-
pers should also be added to Il colony

The Best Prescription Is Groves

The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle,
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taxing.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tones shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, soc.

MEETING OF THE DAIRYMEN.
Important Session VIII BE Held at
Griffin TINS EnlI.

Sparta. Ga. June 1.-THE seventh an
nual meeting of the Georgia Dairymen's
Association has been set for OCT. 81 and
Nov. !. The meeting will be held this
year at Griffin. Ga, where the associa-
ton was organized in 1894.
Secretary NJ. L. Dugsan will be very
busy in a day or two now sending out
notices OF this meeting to the members
over the state Ia was said that last
years meeting at Granville was the
greatest dairy meeting ever held in the
South" but in several features this will
be the largest and most important meet
ing vet held by the association. The sec
rotary has a recent letter from Gov.
Hoard of Wisconsin, promising definitely
to attend this meeting, and he is also
arranging TO have other dairymen of ma
tional and international reputation to be
on hand and take part in the discussions
Of Southern dairy problems
There will in all probability be much
the largest and finest display of Georgia
dairy products ever shown in the state,
or i'm any Southern state Stimulated
and encouraged by this association. there
have since it's organization sprung up in
many places IN the state creameries and
cheese factories that are doing a pros
porous and encourag ing business. Nota-
BILE among these are those at Harmony
Grove Griffin. jefferson and other points.
Others are being built with good pros
poets of success. Two on the line of the
Georgia Railroad have just been complet-
ed and began operations on Monday, June
II, one at Sparta, Ga, and one at Thorn
son, Ga while two others on this same
line of road will be built this summer,
one at Greensboro and one at Woodville.
The work that has been done by the
Georgia Dairymens Association has here
tofore been principally pioneer work, and
is Just now beginning to show.
Every dairyman and stock raiser in
Georgia should hasten to identify him
self with this association Any white
dairyman or stock raiser in Georgia is
eligible to membership on the payment to
the secretary the annual membership fee
of ST. which also entities him 20 all of
the privileges and benefits of member
ship. Applications should be sent to Mr..
NJ. l.. Duggan, secretary, Sparta, Ga, at
least two months before the annual
meeting. The railroads of Georgia have
aided the association very greatly by fur
nishing each year co its members through
the secretary free transportation to its
annual meetings. While this has been
| liberal, indeed, on the part of the roads,
Il will doubtless yield them good returns
in the end. for it is resulting in the build
ing up of a new and important industry
in the stare that will odd materially to
| her already varied resources.
