GENERAL GOMEZ
 IN THE STATES
He Says His Presence at This Time Has No Political
 Significance

Tampa, Fla. June 27. = Gen. Maximo Gomez arrived here this afternoon from Havana and left Immediately for New York. General Gomez was very reticent concerning Cuban matters. with which he Is supposed to have much to do. He said he was especially delighted to once more set foot upon American soil, as he felt that he was among friends. He said his people were busy in rebuilding their vast ed and devastated island, and only de- sired peace. for then prosperity and hap piness would follow. This they recog- nized. He positively declared that there was nothing significant in his trip to the United States at this time. He simply came here, he said, on private business, and gratifying, more than anything else, a desire to see many friends once more and renew ties of friendship which he made in the states many years ago. His coming was known to but few, and only about a dozen people met him at the train. While he was eating supper his presence became known and large crowd was at the depot when he started north.

Some Facts About Bees

Editor st. Tammany FARMER.
A hive or COLONY of bees consists
of one Queen, or mother bee, and
thirty or forty thousand worker
bees. During the Spring there are
usually several hundred drones also
in each hive. The Queen is the
mother of the entire coloay. She
lays all the eggs that produce the
bees. She performs Nc other labor.
She lays two or three thousand eggs
per day in the Spring, when build
ing up the colony for the approach
ing honey season. She commences
laying about the middle Of Decem-
ber, only few eggs per day in the
center of the brood nest, and gradu-
ally Increases her laying until April,
May and June the hive will be
overflowing with bees The lower
story will be full OF brood from all
stages with bees Matching out by
the thousands daily. About July
she will decrease her laying opara-
tiops, and in September, October
and November there will he little Or
no brood in the hive. Tue uner-
ring instinct of these wonderful
creatures is shown here, in rearing
a host Of workers in the Spring
aud Summer to harvest the honey,
and IN discontinulng brood rearing
after that until bees are again need
ed: Three days after the egg is
laid it matches into a little white
grub or larvae. Upon this larvae
the nurse bees deposit white
milky substance composed Of honey
and bee bread mixed and prepared
by these nursery bees, upon which
it feeds by absorption, and it
thrlves and grows fast. On the
18th or 2lst day from the time the
egg was laid the bee cuts his way
out Of the cell and walks tout to
take his place in the hive assisting
in brood rearing and comb building,
and after that the, take 10 the field,
deyotlng their energies and their
lives to honey gathering. The life
OF worker bee is much shorter
than is generally supposed, for they
live only six to eight weeks in the
working season. The severe labor
wears them out. But they will
live six months or more during the
winter season, when there is no
honey to gather. This may be
easily tested by introducing an
Italian Queen into colony of black
bees, and noting the time until all
the black bees are gone and the
hive contains only Italian bees.
Dropes are usually seen two or
three months, in the spring.
Queens live much longer than
worker bees. They live from two
to four Yeas.
Best wishes to the FARMER.
