MANAGEMENT OF BEES.
4 Large Honey Crop Depends Upon
the Strength, Not the Number,
of Colonies.

If we would have bees in tine best
possible condition to obt-in large
yield of honey we would colnmencs
operations as early as possible. a large
honey crop depends principally upon
the strength of colonies, and not upon
the number of colonies. One good col.
ony that is strong in numbers, and in
every way in proper condition, will
store more surplus honey than dozen
weak ones, and the proper thing to dc
is to get everyone as near the desired
strength and condition, and also at the
time needed. Localities differ to some
extent as to the time of the principal
honey harvest, but just at the opening
of the same is the time we want our
colonies ready. Usually we are safe in
commencing as soon as the weather will
permit.
The first thing is to examine every
colony as to condition. Good prolific
queens. and those only, can we build
upon. 1t is useless to spend time with
inferior queens, for there is no plan
to work to, to make success of such.
Old queens, say from three years old
and over, may all be discarded, as there
Is no exception at this age worth both
ering with. A few such queens may
seem all right at the beginning, bat
in the end they will not prove So, and
will be everlastingly starting queen
cells and preparing to swarm.
If profitable queens are not available
the best thing to do is to unite all col
onies containing inferior queens with
those having good young prolific
queens. While this may cut down the
number of colonies, it will pay in the
end. This defect may always be pro-
vided for during the fall previous il
proper precautions are taken to re-
queen all such colonies. and at this time
we have a good chance to detect all in
ferior queens, and also owing to the
supply Of cheap queens it is much less
expensive and less troublesome at this
time.-A. H. Duff. in National Rural.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says that q
first-class battleship is in Mediterra-
mean waters on her way to Manila by
the Suez canal, and that she will stop
at Smyrna. It Is intimated that during
her stay at Smyrna the negotiations
with reference to the destroyed Christ
ian missionary property in Armenia
will be pushed with little more posi-
tiveness than heretofore. It is really
somewhat doubtful as to whether the
administration contemplates anything
serious with regard to this matter. The
sultan has so far succeeded in taking
care Of himself pretty well with Euro
pean nations by bluff1ng or otherwise
and 1t is generally realized at Wash
ington that the attempt to force the
Turks to terms will involve contracts
that might be inconvenient Of fulfill
ment.

yer is contracted only through drink

yer is contracted only through drink
ing water so impregnated. There are
others who claim that the bacilli floats
in the atmosphere in minute particles,
and they are able to uphold their con-
tention with as much plausibility as
those who hold to the otner theory.
Still others lay the whole blame Of the
disease to mosquitoes, and there are
other theories. But alongside Of facts
expert theories are of little weight.
Mr.. Sturgis's testimony to the effect
that there was no typhoid fever in his
vicinity for IS years previous to the
coming Of that sewer pipe, and that a
number Of cases followed the discharge
of the sewage is, in good common sense,
entitled to more consideration than all
the expert testimony that could be Of
fered. When the learned professor
tells us in the first place that there has
been no typhoid fever in the college,
and in the second place, even If there
had been, the germs would probably
not live to the end Of the sewer, he gets
up puzzle that we cannot solve except
by discarding his theory that the ba-
cillus cannot originate themselves. The
fact that there was fever here seems
to indicate that the fever germs must
have originated somewhere. and the
fact that there was no fever before
the coming Of the sewer, points pretty
strongly to some connection with the
filth there discharged. For the jurors
to attempt to say where the fever origi-
mated, Of course, would be beyond their
province, and it is beyond ours; but un-
til our scientific friends succeed In
demonstrating their contentious much
more conclusively that they have done
up to this time, we think it will be well
for a prudent public to hold on to its
notions as to the danger of cesspools,
pig pens, sewage and other centres of
filth that send out their constant warn
ings in the shape Of offensive odors.
