How to control swarming.

SwarminG in bee economy is ma
lures method of propagation for The
race. and In the state of domcstication
it is the business OF the aplarist to-
control his bees as no other domestic
animals are controlled for the benefit
OF those WHO possess them. Let bees
swarm AT viii. ana they will invari-
ably swarm TO excess. in which case
there will be but small crop of hon
ey.
Naturally. beginner in bee culture
is more or less anxious and pleased
TO see his bees under the swarming
impulse, and even under the influence
Of the swarm mania, because he de
sires increase; but there comes time
when the apiary is as large as he
wants it, or can p"oflJably handle, and
then the swarm craze may nearly
craze him. We'll. perhaps II might, for
more close thought ana careful expert
mcnting has been expended along this
line of controlling Swarming so as to
procure the largest possible yield OF
honey, than in any other branch of the

they cave plenty of room 10 work ana

Again. some races of bees are inclined

and such are likewise more extreme

Generally the swarm will issue in
eight days after beginning the queen

moreover. when the cells are eight
days old they are sealed over at which

New Varieties OF Potatoe.

Many varieties of potatoes come and
go and but for the continued introduc-
tion OF new varieties potatoes would
soon be scarce. This is due to careless
selection of seed. All the tubers of II
crop are sold for seed when only the
best should he selected. If the largest
tubers from the thrlftiest and strong
est plants only are retained for seed
there would be an improvement in the
old varieties instead of deterioration in
quality. But as long as seed potatoes
hring good prices there will be good
and inferior seed used.
