The process known as "swestbg'' is
net confined to human beings. IT is
applied to bees by some up Il date
keepers.
The natural tendency OF the lee to
work and It's great dislike TO ideness

Honey is a product that yields a good

hives busy during the three summer
months. The yield Of honey br each
fine day is ten pounds per acre. and as
the plant flowers twice and remains In
bloom for a week very often tie total
yield is 10000 pounds.
Combmaking Is lighter and les dan.
gerous work than gathering honey. so
the young bees usually perform this
task. But the keeper wants thin all
TO work and work hard. so he pDvides
the base OF the comb in natunl size
and pure wax. That leaves less work

Tho start Of ne whole matter was
the lodging OF a complaint al Scotland

business on the Strand. He had miss
ed two diamond rings from a tray he
had been exhibiting 10 several lady Gus
toners. but unfortunately for him the
gems had been gone an hour perhapa
before he knew that deft fingers had
purlOlned them under his very eyes.
He could recall the M Of four or
FIVE ladies'. and he headed the list with
the name NJ n marquis wife. hut the
Inspector ON duty might we'll smile and
turn away at that. Had the jeweler
not been IN such n pcrturhed state Of

10 the town records Of the city Of

which records how a schoolmaster was

manner 10 which the visit of Inspection

may not have had fair play. although
II be was really inefficient be may be
said to have been judged by his peers.

1922. It Is set forth that:

In blowing in the orchard always
turn the furrow toward the tree, and
be careful not to injure the fine, tibrous
roots.
The life Of an apple tree is often
shortened because it grows in a poor,
exhausted soil or one not properly
drained.
When i'll or ailing, handle the flowers
little or wear gloves. Delicate plants
are sensitive to human magnetism,
good or bad.
The roots Of the strawberry often
reach out FIVE feet from the main
stem; hence the plants should not be
set too thickly.
An apple or cherry tree is much
more valuable if it shoots out low.
Trim from the top, as this will cause
the lower branches to grow out.
Land that has been too rough for
blowing may yet be sufficiently fertile
to grow fruit trees and is better than
land that has been exhausted by crop
