be made small in the early spring and
no surplus honey boxes should be
put on until May. The Matching of
young bees requires warm house.
Then feeding them little granulated
dissolved sugar early in the spring,
when they first begin to fly around,
seems to stimulate the queen to lay
ing eggs early, thus making thu
swarm stronger for work when the
honey season comes. My bee hives are
already crowded and one swarm came
out May and are now busy at work.
| expect them to give me forty or fifty
pounds Of surplus honey and perhaps
second swarm. The sweetest in
vectment we ever made was two dol
lars for swarm of bees and two more
for a standard hive. We have b
glad to sweeten a few farmers the
same way. ii. w. HARDY.

MINISTERS LEAVING BELGRADE
According to a dispatch from Belgrade
the German, Austrian and Turkish min
listers are preparing to leave that place,
ostensibly for a long holiday. The
Russian and Italian representatives have
already left Belgrade on similar pre-
text. The real reason for the exodus OF
the diplomats, however, is said to be
that King Peter has negatived the de-
mands of these ministers for the punish
ment of the assassins of King Alexander
aud Queen Draga. Other reports say
hat the Turkish minister at Belgrade
protested to the minister Of foreign az
lairs against the secret preparations
which are alleged to be going on in
Servia for the purpose Of supporting an
outbreak in old Servia next spring. To
his protest the foreign minister gave an
evasive answer, whereupon the Turkish
minister left Belgrade. 1t is considered
likely that the departure of the other
ministers may be based upon the alleged
intention of Seryia TO interfere in Mace
DOMAIN affairs.

1904 A LEAP YEAR.-After eight
years we are to have another leap year,
1904 being on the calendar as such. 1t
was widely published in 1896 that it was
the only opportunity the ladies would
have for eight years to exercise their an
Gent prerogative of proposing marriage
to whom they willed. But eight years
nave almost rolled around and those who
did not avail themselves Of that oppor-
tunity will soon have another. The year
1900, as has often been explained, was not
leap year because, according to the
Gregorian calendar, every year divisible
BY four, without remainder, is leap
year, except it be the last in century,
and then il is a leap year only when di-
visible by 400 without remainder. As
1900 was not Invisible without a remain
der, it was not leap year.
