see no reason for the nusuai decline

justified by the present condition OF

and contend successfully with such a
condition is by a thorough organiza-
ton among yourselves for the mutual
protection of you several interests.
They would further recommend that
you take into serious consideration
the a~dvisability Of establishing buses
in principal cities under your own
management for the purpose OF hand
ling your production and thus do
away with the necessity OF the middle
man.. which at present not only ham
les the product of our mills, but fixes
the prices and makes yarn contracts.
That a committee Of five be ap-

necessary to carry this recommended

COLOR VERSUS QUALITY.

There has been quite rage for yellow
bees, and breeders in this country have
catered 10 the general demand to such
m extent that bees Of the Italian race
are produced much yellower than those
found in Italy. But the tide seems now
turning, and the demand is rather for
bees that give large surplus than for
handsome bees. E. r. Root. editor Of
Gieanings, says:
Il hope the race for color has had its
day; and while there have been several
specimens Of bees that have been good
workers, as well as beautiful, the ma
jority of those we have tested have had
some bad traits, either in temper,
swarming propensity or lack Of hardi-
ness for wintering. Let the matter OF
color be only a secondary consideration.
Put first. ability to get money; second.
wintering qualities: third. disinclina-
ton to swarm: temper next. and color
last Of all. But other things being
equal. l should very much prefer gentle
bees If at the same time they can have
the other three desirable qualities. Col
or really amounts to nothing.
1T color or markings il may be said
that, of whatever blood the queen may
be, she must be pure. whether Carni-
olan, black or Italian. A hybrid queer
with m ancestry of hybrids back ter
years might be able to reproduce her
kind without sporting toward either
the blacks or Italians. DR.. Miller has
such a queen. Her bees outstripped
everything else in the apiary last sea-
son. and he is going to use her for
breeder.
"Hybrids are apt to be more or less
cross. II has been observed. I believe,
that the cross or ''snappy" kind are the
ones that produce results in honey. Did
you ever notice that il is often the
"snappy kind of people who can get out
= big days work. even though they are
not. perhaps. the most popular among
their fellows?"

NOTES FOR BEEKEEpERs

Keep bees to make your honey. but
begin with only few hives.
Strong colonies protect themselves
from robbers and bee moths-
Young queens, like young stock OF
any kind. are superior to old ones.
Bees are profitable because they gath
er up and store what would otherwise
be lost. *s r.tr~
To avoid in and out breeding il il
well to introduce new blood from time
to time.
The point in favor of the Italian bee
is that it is the most prolific and is gen.
lie and energetic.
In rendering beeswax . tin. brass or
copper vessel should be used. An iron
