Management OF Bees.

/ III the late issue of the American Bee
| Journal Edwin Begins claims to have dis
covered two. alternative ways, in which
laying worker colonies can be disposed
of so as to get all the service. out OF
the bees that they can render, and. yet
keep the number OF the colonies up to
what it wass before. One way is,to place
the hive containing the laying, workers
over strong, colonywith fertile queen,
placing newspaper with small hole
in it between the two hives. The bees
will uniteapeaceably, and when consider
able worker brood appears in the: upper
hive the hive can be placed on another
stand AID; the. bees will rear a. queen
from thestmood, if the old queen is left
in the lower hive; or a fertile queen can
be introaueed about three days after
the removal of the hive. The other plan
involves the taking of a. couple of
frames, OF Matching brood from hive
and pEasing shem in another hive over
strong coleny, with frame having
wire cloth nailed to both sides of it
betweea the two hives. Then fertile
queer and her escort are released on the
two combs, and in fewrdays there will
be a Nucleus strong enough to take care
of taae queen. This hive is then set
doWaa by the side of the hive holding
the hying workers. Every two or
threwdays frame with It's bees must be
transferred from the laying worker hive
to 5iie, nsecleus By the time all but
twos of the frames are placed IN the new
hive the queen is aS work there, and
essaiy thing is harmonious As regards
tfa two frames tasan to form the nu-
ckszs, they can be returned to the
places from which, they were taken, o,
tSiese places can be filled by the frames

va;ue Of Good Roads TO. Farmersa

Value of Good Roads toi FarmeIsca
Discussing the subject, D correspondent
of the New York Tribunec,says thati In
all the cities and large towns, of the
state there is demand, for farm pro
ducts, such as hay and straw and grain.
IN many cases the surrounding country
is quite capable of supplying that, de-
mand; in all cases it should do SO as
far as possible; in most, cases it does
not. Indeed, supplies are, brought In
by rail or canal from far away, perhaps
from other states, while at the sanse
time within few miles of the market
thus supplied are farms that have been
abandoned as not worth working, and
Others whose owners are in chronic dis
content and dispair at'the apparent im-
possibility of getting profitable prices fos
their crops s--------A
And we quite agree with that writer
| when he says that one prime secret OF
the trouble lies in the bad roads, which
| keep the producer and the consumer
apart, by making it difficult, if not
impossible, for the farmers, to- get theil
produce to market.

as was attested by the large concourse
of people that followed the remains

manner. But above all he put in
practice that estimable gift OF char

death and attests to. his worth and
respect. He had those qualities
spoken of by Paul. when, ne said,
''Charity, suffereth, long. and is. kind,
charity vaunteth. not itself. is not

Charity is a better passport, to that

A REPUTATION.
How It Was Made and Retained in
Mankato.

Mankato.
A good reputation is not earsily earnr
ed, and it was only by hard consistent
work among our citizens that Doan's
Kidney Pills won their way to the proud
distinction attained in this locality. The
public endorsement of scores: of Man
kato residents has rendered invaluable
service to the community Read what
this citizen says,
Mrs. Herman Fenske of 1904 First ave-
nue., says: II was troubled with at
tacks of backache ever since a little girl.
Sometimes my back was so weak and
lame that it hurt me very much to lift
a slight object. A cold nearly brought
on an attack and it was accompanied by
tired feeling mornings. When lying
down it was painful to turn and did not
feel equal to the ordinary homework.
After my husband procured Doan's Kid
ney Pills for nae at j. G. Thro's and
l took them l was better in every way.
Doan's Kidney Pills are a good remedy
for backache and languor. I am recon-
mending them to my acquaintance"
