The Busy Bee.

Indefatigable industry, energy and
perseverance are the peculiar char
acteristics of the honey bees. They
begin their life work at birth in car
ing for and nursing young larvae, and
at about sixteen days old they become
honey and pollen gatherers, and dur
ing the honey harvest, in the early
dawn, when the balance of Gods Gre
alton are asleep, they sally forth on
their daily mission, and when even
ing's twilight has cast it's sombre
mantle over natures face they may
be seen returning laden with sweets
which, but for their unequaled energy,
would be forever lost. They fear not
the SUMS scorching rays and regard
not the rain nor the storm. They de-
serve a nice house and clean yard,
and they will provide abundantly for
themselves and a surplus for their
owner If treated fairly.

Food for Bees.

There is no better food for bees
than pure sugar syrup; it is as good
as the best honey and superior to an
inferior grade. At present prices one
dollars worth Of sugar made into
syrup is equivalent to three dollars
worth Of honey. Take one frame of
eggs and the adhering bees and put
them in hive full Of empty combs
or full sheets of foundation; buy twen-
ty pounds of pure graduated sugar,
dissolve 1t with ten or twelve pounds
Of water; put on top story and place
a shallow vessel that will hold a quart
in this, and every evening about sun
down feed all they can carry down
at night by pouring syrup into this
vessel; cover with piece of cheese
cloth; let the cloth rest on the syrup
and it will steep through as fast as
the bees can carry it down and thus
prohibit drowning.

THE BEE COLONY.
How to Keep the Boys Interested in
Farm Life.

raj III IlIcs
AS the boys and girls grow up there
Is an inclination to get away from the
drudsery of farm work. Why not buy
for those boys or girls few colonies
of bees and let them start a little
apiary for themselves in some corner
or under an apple tree somewhere
near the house. and also let them sub
scribe for an agricultural paper which
publishes bee matter? Then they will
get the bee fever so bad that it will
be n hard matter TO make them go
away from home for even n week.
The bee fever may he alleviated little
by adding more bees to the apiary,
but it can never be cured. At least,
I seem to get it worse and worse with
each returning spring Bee keeping
is no longer n matter of chance, but
scientific study.
There are some who put a swarm
into an empty box or nail keg and let
them shift for themselves, but that is
not bee keeping. You would not think
of keeping poultry or other stock in
that way without making total fail
ure. Then, again, there is no drudS
cry work connected with keeping bees.

Many a night have lain awake plan

can be made and painted and honey
boxes prepared, and everything be

Bottomless Pots for VioIets.
Six-inch flower pots are cut off at
the bottom, leaving the brims three
inches deep. These, containing the
violets, are set one inch in. the soil out
of doors. The plants make healthy
growth, producing more flowers and
fewer runners than those given ordin-
airy culture. They can also be wat
cred without wetting the foliage, thus
lessening the danger of damping off
and overwhelming.
