NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Bees can endure dry cold, but not
dampness.
When honey is overheated its color
is injured.
Spring is usually the best time to in
vest in bees
Lack of ventilation is a cause of
dampness IN many hives.
More bees are lost by wintering than
by disease or any other cause.
Bees Matched in the fall will live
through the winter until spring.
Extracted honey is much easier kept
than comb honey. as the latter is liza
bic to get soiled.
No drones are reared in colony I'M
til the colony becomes strong with
plenty of worker brood.
Combine beekeeping with fruit
growing and you can more easily pro-
cure two crops from the same land.
Honey that remains in the comb for
some time after being stored is al
ways the best article when extracted.
In very cold weather bees often die,
and, falling, will clog the entrance.
They must be removed or the bees will
smother.
During the winter care must be
taken in removing dead bees, so as not
TO disturb the hive and arouse them
into activity.
Stirring honey unnecessarily causes
it to candy sooner than it otherwise
would. Usually there is no reason for
disturbing it.
All work that is to be done with
bees in winter time must be done on
warm days while the bees are flying,
and at no other time.
If there is too much drone comb in
the hive. remove it and replace it with
worker comb. In this way the supply
Of drones is easily regulated.
It is not so much in understanding
the theory of beekeeping that brings
success as in the capacity for looking
after the details.-St. Louis Republic.
The entrances to the hives should be
contracted during the winter. The
bees do not require the full-sized en-
trance for ventilation in winter, even
though the colony be strong one.

PARASITES IN HIVES
How to Exterminate Insects Which
Prey Upon the Honey Accumu-
latiOns of Bees.

The presence of ants, cockroaches
bee hives and in supers is largely the
fault of the hive used. Such hives
usually have corners and unoccupied
places in them wherein such insects
harbor. If you have supers that the
bees do not occupy on the hives re
move them, or learn why the bees do
not go to work in them. Such supers
have open places to admit of these in
sects. Ants, cockroaches and such are
not considered damaging to bees to the
extent of bothering with them, except
in cases where the colony is weak and
cannot occupy all the combs or the
hives and supers. In this case the best
remedy is to build the colony up strong.
by feeding or giving it brood from other
colonies, and also removing for the
time being all surplus supers or combs,
ard excluding these pests by shutting
them out of such places. The latest
up-to-date hives and supers do not ad-
nit of insects, and the different parts
of the hive are not added until the
bees are ready to occupy them.
Ants get in their work of destruc-
ton most by getting on combs of
honey unoccupied by the bees. They
will soon destroy the appearance of
sealed comb honey by cutting the cap
pings full of holes. They will thus
congregate on combs Of honey if the
receptacles containing the same will
admit of them. They may be entire
ly cut off from such by using table
with the legs set in pals of water or
kerosene. Ants are very peculiar.
They have their roadways from one
hiding place to another, and frequent
ly travel long distances, and they seem
to act as though they had the right
of way of these thoroughfares of theirs,
and do not even turn about from a
hive of bees, but travel directly over
the bottom board of the hive. Bees
cannot do much with them, but let
them take their way to some extent.
Powdered borax is frequently used
for driving ants from the hives, by
sprinkling it about their haunts; but
the best way to get rid of them is to
locate their nests, which may easily be
done by following their trail, and pour
bi-sulphide of carbon into the nest,
making a hole in the center and plug

Dark and Light Eggs.

There is no breed that produces uni
form eggs. The Cochins, Brahmas and
Langshans are claimed to lay dark
eggs, but there will always be some
individuals that will lay eggs of both
light and dark color. If you hatch a
dozen pullets with the same sire)
from hen that lays very dark eggs
you will not find two Of them to lay
eggs of the same shade. although they
will be full sisters. Take a hundred
hens of one breed, compare the eggs
from EACH and there will be at least
some difference-no two alike-vasy-
ing like the leaves on tree.-Farm

HOSPITAL AUTHORITIES TRY TO
LEARN IDENTITY OF DECEDENT.

The authorities at the Rhode Island
hospital are very anxious to establish
the identity of a man who died at that
institution on Monday morning of pneu-
monia and who gave his name as
Michael McGill OF No. 81 AtwelIs ave-
nue.. The address has proved to be fic-
titious and Il is thought that the name
may also be fictitious.
The man vert to the hospital last
Thursday alCne. AMI said that he had
sustained an iniyry to his chest by be-
ing struck ty some heavy object at an
iron foundry near by. The surgeons
found no external signs of such an in
jLry, but found that the man was suf-
fering from pneumonia, and he was put
under medical treatment for that dis
ease. He grew rapidly worse until the
seriousness Of his condition made IL
advisable to rCtify his relatives, so the
police of the Fourth station were asked
to tell Mrs. Michael McGill OF "a At
wells avenue tha; her husband was in
a critical condition. No such person
was found and no one i'm the neighbor-
hood knew Michael McGill.
The man told the registry clerk at the
hospital that he was born in ireland
and was "A years old The description
given OF the man says he weighed
about $50 pounds and stood FIVE feet
and five inches. He had gray eyes and
there was a scar on the left side of his
forehead.
