HOW BEES MARK TREES.
When One Does Not Suit Them They
Always Leave an ERsily-ReRd
Sign Behind.

'Bees have a language of their own"
said a western bee expert, the other
day. "They carry different meanings
by their buzzings, and they understand
each other like a top; but l found out
one thing about them that I don't think
anybody else did-bees have got a writ
ten language and they SEND communi-
cations to each other.
81 found this out after years of close
observation. When the bees get too
awfully numerous in a tree-fn up the
hollow so that it is too crowded for
comfort-certain wise bees are sent out
to prospect.
when a pioneer of this kind finds a
big, likely looking tree with a hospita-
~ble-Iooking wind-crack in it he takes
plenty of time and goes all over it care
fully.
Sometimes he finds that, while the
place looks nice and commodious on the
outside, the knothole leads into a shall
low receptacles, or the crack is not
deep enough to accommodate even a
bachelor bee, much less a whole brood.
I'm such cases he gets out and writes
a message to all and sundry bees that
may come along that way: This tree
is no good. That knot-hole is a fake
and the wind-crack is a frost-pass it
upH
"He writes this with his tail string
ing honey along IS we string ink. If
the tree is all right he puts up a sign to
that effect. The next bee scents the
honey, lights and reads the first words
of the message, and if the report is I'M
fayorablef flies off, saying: Hm-m-m-h!'
and doesn't worry himself any further
about it.
ooh, yes, bees 7 cute, and if you've
got the idea that they're slow, it's be-
cause you are slow yourself Denver

A colony of bees with a good queen

The queens greatest Importance
during the whole year is in early
spring. Her value now is worth three
times that of any other time, for at
this time depends the makeup of the
colony as to it's condition in strength
to prove profitable when the honey
harvest opens. There is but one time
allotted her to perform the necessary
duty in bringing her colony up to
SOd1AddEu requirements anu nGE du-
sence during this period must be a
certain failure. The colony is at it's
lowest ebb just at the heels of winter,
having the fewest number of bees
then of any time of the year. The
colony of bees is so small that the
queen is curtailed in her egg produc-
ton and limited to perhaps just a
few eggs per day, so that the bees
car. successfully cover them and keep
warm. A few of the earliest begin to
hatch, and thus the number increases
a little every day, and, everlastingly
keeping at it, the colony grows and
becomes populous, and when the
honey season opens such ones prove
the most profitable and store hun
dreds of pounds of surplus honey, but
there must be no hitch in the pro-
ceedings.
This is the first requirement; the
second is that the bees must have
abundance of stores during all this
time.-A. Il. Duff, in Farmers Voice.

Bas. Wherever they are known they
are very much admired both in the
wild and domestic state, and truly
they r q beautiful fowl, being a dark
red color, the .gobblers being the
darkest, and bordering on a brown
with viii wings and tail, and the
body feathers having two narrow
black bar running across the feath-
ers, one "a the tip being very black,
the other close to it Of a very light
shade of back,
The tips Of all the feathers have a
bronze 81 blush sheen when shifted
in the sunlight, similar to the bronze
turkey. The under color runs out to
nearly a white, with a large part OF it
a beautiful buff. In size, shape and.
weight when do~mesticated they re-.
semble the good old bronze turkey,
but are more hardy, better layers and
less Liable to wander away from home.
The young r nearly as easy to raise
as young chickens, and should meet
with generaI favor on this account;

pearanee and fine table qualities

but just as pure a variety as the
bronze turkey, and no cross with
bronze, buff or any other variety will
produce a natural pure-blooded Bour-
bon red turkey. They have been do.
mesticated in Kentucky for 1s years
to my knowledge, and I I'm personal
~ acquainted with a gentleman who
saw them 25 years ago in southern
Iowa. The wild turkey is like the wild
bronze-long, lean and lanky-and can
Outrun a deer; but the domestic red
turkey is heavier breasted than the
bronze turkey. The cut illustrates
the Bourbon turkey very well-at any
rate, It represents an expert artists
ability to get an exact type of the
fowl. Everybody knows what an ele-
giant turkey the bronze is, but I be-
ieve the Bourbon reds will supplant
them wherever they are tried. They
should not be crossed with any other
variety, and, in fact, I do not believe
IN crossing Of any kind, for it invari,
ably works in this way: Take two
thoroughbred varieties of fowls and
% them, and the result is an in
ferior offspring to either one of the
original kinds, and even If it does not
show it very strong the first time
They win degenerate 50 that anybody
can notice it when bred again.
There is no adopted standard of the
Bourbon red turkey, but an effort will
be made to get them recognized at
the next revision Of the American
standard, as they are a natural fowl,
and, having been long bred, they are
eligible at any time. If I we're to
place q schedule of points on them
would make It the same as the bronze,
