WHEN THE BEES SWARM.
Row TO Hive Them With = Basket.
Tbe Q'see-- Trap a Neat Affair.

Row to Hive Them With = Basket.
Fbe o',ee-' Trap a Neat Affair.
If the cluster is low, 1t is easy to
hive swarm of bees. Slip a basket
right up under the cluster and jar the
limb. If the bees have clustered high
up in tree, get pole long enough to
reach them and fasten the basket to
the end Of 1t. A common peach basket
will do very well When you have the
basket right up under the cluster, give
the pole sharp jerk upward. which
motion will jar the limb and the bees
VIII drop into the basket. Have the
hive under the tree and dump the bees
in front of it. and they viii march In
like an army. The hives should be
raised an inch or two In front to give
them air, The bees will commence to
give contented hum. and If there are
any remaining on the tree they will
hear it and join the rest. In the even
ing the hive can be carried to the loca-
tion where 1t is TO remain.
Sometimes n swarm will cluster on
the trunk of tree or wall; then 1t will
be necessary to use brush to get
them into the basket. The ringing of
bells and beating of pans and all such
notions are of no avail. A first swarm
will most always settle. have never
yet seen it TO miss, provided the queen
was with them, and If the queen Is not
with them they will most surely return
to their hive. Sometimes a swarm will
hang on tree all day. and then again
they may depart in little while 1t Is
better to hive them within a half hour
after they have issued If possible.
Still a better way is to have queen
traps on the hive to catch the queen.
With the queen traps it is a delight to
hive swarms. When the swarm issues,
the queen cages herself and cannot
leave with the bees. The swarm will
cluster on some tree, when the apiarst
can replace the old hive with an empty
one and place the trap with the queen
in front of the new hive on the old
stand. The bees will remain from 10
to 30 minutes, when they will return
and enter the new hive. The apiarst
can then release the queen. and she
will run in with the swarm, and the
hiving is done, says +. G. Herman in
Farm Journal.

was filled beyond the limit of its seating
capacity supplemented by all the chairs
and settees that could be placed in aisles
and vestry, for the graduating exercises
of the class of 1901, South Paris High
School. Not that the weather was a
necessary factor in the large attendance,
for besides those directly and specially
interested in the members of the gradu-
ating class, the whole community is
largely interested in the general welfare
of the schools.
The decorations of the room and the
platform, which were arranged by the
class of '02, were in the class cOlors OF
red and white. Streamers were draped
| from the centre to the corners and sides
of the room, and on a arch in the wall
above the platform was the class motto,
"Nulla 7estigia retrorsum." At the
back of the platform was bank OF
plants, and others were effectively ar
ranged about the room.
Excellent music for the evening was
furnished by the Norway Orchestra,
with one vocal number by Miss Joan
Stearns. Miss Stearns sang an Italian
song in her rich and cultured voice, and
responded to a hearty encore with
little song in English.
