some Reasons Why Bees and Their
Hives Should Not he Moved Oar.
-. ing the Winter.

With the exception of taking hives
Of bees to cellar for the winter, bees
should not be moved during the win.
ter. Their location must not i be
changed from fall to spring, either
short or long. distances. The most
damaging change made is to change
for a short distance, as for instance
a few rods:~. Bees will not follow their
hive for even few feet away, unless
there are no other hives of bees near.
If there are hives near, the bees will
enter the nearest one, and in most
cases are promptly killed by the wis.,
tied colony. This is frequently done,
and the result is that the colony is
greatly weakened by the change.
During late fall, winter and early
spring, the hives contain the least
number Of bees, and if change is
made at any of these times, it endan-
gers the loss of the colony by decreas-
ing the numbers so low, for nearly
all the old bees will go back to their
former location. On this account it is
much safer to move long distances,
AOV 1913 lAdu d lille, anu 1aTCueT 1S
better. When thus taken entirely
away from their former travels they
mark q new location and all return
to it. A colony of bees may be taken
safely and without loss anywhere, if
the hive is moved few feet each day
the bees fly, providing no other hive
is very near them, and they will thus
follow the hive to any required spot
we wish them to occupy. But it is
necessary that they take full fight
after each removal, and thus mark
the last location. If no other hive is
near, they may be moved farther at
a time, when they are liable to follow
the hive.
This trouble will occur at any time
of the year in moving bees. 1t may
lessen the number that fail to return,
it we close the hive and confine the
bees in it for a day or two, and then
smoke them before letting them out.
When thus filled with honey, they
will to some extent mark the new
location and return to their own hive.

"BREAkING" THE COLT.

He said he would break the colt or know
the reason why,
And may say on his behalf that bravely
did he try;
But all the breaking that was done was
managed by the colt,
Combined with which his owner had q
hard and sudden jolt.
He tried him with a saddle and he tried
him with a cart:
He tried him with all kinds Of tricks to
make him stop and start;
And he would start and he would stop.
but with a suddenness
That proved most discOncerting and &C.
casioned much distress.
Then. Illuminating sadly on the trials he's
gone through,
The owner gave expression to this true
but solemn view:
Il undertook to break him and SO some
thing had to break.
But in the trifling details I have made
great mistake.
I'VE broke the harness and the cart: we
broke a saddle, too:
We went against the garden fence and
easily broke through;
We also broke the pasture gate the time
he tried to bolt
In fact, there's naught unbroken but this
measly, stubborn colt.
'But there's been much accomplished. for
I'm ready now to say
The better part of valor hereafter Will
display.
The colt is still unbroken. but the
thoughtful one can see
The effort was not fruitless, for the brute
has broken me-"

Beguiling Childhood.

When my little son could scarcely
walk, says Rev. C. T. Brady, a west
ern missionary, I took him to the
cathedral one day, when I returned
for something I had forgotten after
morning service.
1 left the child in the nave, and
when I went back to him he had adj
vanced halfway up the middle aisle,
and was standing where the sun
threw golden light about his curly
head. A tiny object he was in that
great church.
It was very still. He was looking
about in every direction in the most
curious and eager way. To my fancy
he seemed like little angel when he
said in his sweet, childish treble.
which echoed and reecnoed beneath
the vaulted roof:
Papa, where's Jesus? Where's Je.
sus?"
He had been told that the church
was the house of the Saviour, and on
this, his first visit, he expected to see
his Lord.
That baby is quite grown up now.
Not in the faintest particular does he
resemble an angel. The other day,
when I rode off to the wars, he aston
ished even me with this request:
"Papa,' if you get wounded, don't
forget to bring me the bullet that
knocks you out. I want it for q
souvenir for my collection"
Fortunately for me, if unfortunate
ly for him, I brought him no bullet

gestion as to the Mismanage-
ment Of Husbands.

There was once a woman who felt that
her husband stayed out too late at night.
She therefore devised plan to cure him
of this. Her plan was to rise early in order
to insure his refining early, writes Josephine
Dashman, in Century.
"Only in this way will he be able to get
enough Sleep" she said.
Her husband, who usually endeavored to
please her, rose without complaint at six
o'clock, but continued to sthy out late. Per-
ceiving that her purpose was not accom-.
plished, the woman changed the hour to five
o'clock.
'The morning hours are the best for
work, she said, "and I understand that the
morning air possesses great virtues"
Her husb band objected, but rose at Eve, as
she wished.
Still he continued to come in late. Then
the woman fixed the hour at 4:30.
Il have always enjoyed seeing the sun
rise" she said.
I'm that case" said her husband, de-
cidedly, II shall not go to bed at all, since
it would not be worth my while. I will
stay up all night and take my sleep at my
office in the afternoon. So we will have
breakfast at three o'clock, if you like"
This teaches us that the early worm will
turn.

NEW CENTURY HINTS.
Why Farmers Should Patronixe Inn.
proved Methods and Make Their
Calling Respected.

"A NC" CeuIury mas Oegun, ana IL Is
evident that agriculture will make
rapid strides in the next few years.
1t is evident that it is soon to take
its rightful position in the world.
Every farmer can do something to-
ward helping on this forward move
ment by improving his methods and
his surroundings and educating him
self along the advance lines. Let
them shake off that absurd jealousy
and distrust of each other that has
so long prevailed and been kept alive
by crafty politicians. Get rid of that
foolishness and unite in advancing
their interests along all lines. The
farmer should hold position in the
world equal with men of any other
vocation and profession, and he will
when he makes himself their equal in
education and skill. He should have
a strong voice in shaping legislation,
and he will when he ceases to dele
gate to lawyers the power to legis-
late for him. Every farmer should
consider these matters seriously and
do all he can to advance himself and
his fellow farmers along all the lines
mentioned. Let them insist that the
taxes they pay for education shall
be devoted to educating their chill
dren to the farm instead of away
from it, and that this education shall
be practical and worth to the child
all it costs. Let them insist that the
improvement of the country is as es-
sential as the improvement of cities,
and that all appropriations of the
public money shall not be for granite
and marble buildings, but that por-
ton of them shall be for the farmers
benefit.-Fred Grundy, in Farm and
EiroSida
