Caring For Bees.

To delay swarming give the bees
plenty of room for the storage OF
honey, abundant ventilation beneath
the brood frames and shade the hives
from the direct rays Of the summer
sun. An increase In colonies means
less comb honey. If the colonies are
not all of equal strength, shift supers
full of bees from the strongest to the
weakest in the middle Of the day dur
ing the honey flow. and there will be
no dlscord. Ready filled supers from
the strong colonies are exactly what
the weaker ones require. This is a
practical, easy way Of strengthening
weak colonies. When filled sections
are taken off it Is well to shift those
nearest finished to tine centre of the
super. 1t is surprising how quickly
the bees will finish them when this Is
done. When the honey flow is near
ing the end 1t is best to have sections
which are half filled finished up as
soon as possible. But there are al.
ways few partly filed sections at
the end Of the honey flow. These
are as good as gold to set the bees to
work in the supers another year, that

our schools to the proper teaching OF
the English language. To write and
speak correctly should be considered
the most important thing to be taught,

often makes 1t subordinate, The man.

lately that 1t costs his firm $4,000 a
year simply to correct errors In In

enough every year, through the ignor'

run big school where young men and
young women might be taught to write

large business offices are secondary
schools, where the really fundamental

A French writer, Henri Coupin, says
that the fact that, Notwithstanding
their simplicity, the songs. of the birds
cannot be initiated with musical in
struments arises from the impossibiity
of reproducing their peculiar timbre'
The notes of birds, while correspond
ing with our musical scale, also In
clude vibrations occupying the inter-
walls between our notes. The duration
OF birds songs is usually very short,
two or three seconds for thrushes and
chaffinches, four or five seconds for
blackcaps, but from two to five min
utes for the lark. NJ. Coupin remarks
that while one In every ten species Of
European bird is tpneful, the proper
ton dlminishes to only one in a thou
sand among the gorgeously clad birds
Of the tropics.
