Gambling In the Pale.

Our esteemed contemporary the Bos-
ION Times points a virtuous and reprov-
ing forefinger at New York city:
1T poses as the reputable American Monte
Carlo, where the reckless individual may dare and
lose ALL"
The New York Legislature wants to
transfer Monte Carlo to Boston and else
where. We notice on another page OF
the Times that Boston is montecarloing
on it's own hook. This page is devoted
to whist and has a list Of public whist
parties for every day in the week, except
Sunday. II contains also this finely
displayed advertisement:

OF THE BEE.
a Little Story of How the Queen and
Drones Came to Be a Feature
of Every Colony.

At one time the bees were male and
female in equal numbers. The ire
sponsible male buZZed about simply
getting his own living. marrying and
dying. The responsible female not only
got her own living, but that of her
children.
Somehow, by and by, they came to
see the advantage of communal effort,
and, just as women say to n another
now, IF you'll wash the dishes, III
wipe EN-" one feminine bee said to
the other, III be mother if you'll get
the living" 1t was a bargain and the
accommodating females took drOneS in
to board.
The queen of a beehive does not
rule; she lays eggs. She does not mind
the babies. She does not even do her
own %digesting, let alone getting the
food. The attendants that surround
her feed her with bee milk, secreted
by glands in their heads. She had to
be fed continually, for at certain peri
DDS she has the power of producing
from 1000 to 5000 eggs a day, twice
her own weight, four times, indeed, for
more than half her weight is eggs. In
her lifetime a prolific queen will lay
i 500, coo eggs.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1905-01-14
MARKETING THE EGGS.
They Should Be Gathered Often and
Packed with the Small
End Down.

Eggs should be gathered every day in
summer and oftener in winter, unless the
hen house is warm enough SO that the
eggs will not freeze and burst the shell.
Put the eggs into a basket with the
small end down until ready to pack in
boxes for shipping and keep in a cool
room. Then pack in the box with the
cardboard separators, with the small
end down. They will keep fresh longer
If packed in this way than if put into
the boxes in a haphazard manner. The
reason for this is found in the fact that
the yOlk cannot settle to the she'll when
the small end is put down and the air
cannot strike the yolk as long as it does
10 touch the shell. When eggs bring a
good price it is better to sell the eggs
than to raise chickens to sell, for the
profit is good and there is not so great
an outlay. By all means raise chickens
when eggs do not bring a very good
price. Among the most prolific layers
will be found the Black Spanish, the
Black, White and Brown LeghOrns,
Poland, Hamburg, Creve Occur and La
Fleche, which are larger than Black
Spanish, but somewhat similar to them.

WENT TOO MUCH BY NAME
Lady Hotel Guest Receives Some En-

Waiter. =.

A m lives at one Of the Kansas
City hotels who has the reputation Of be-
ing rather fnicky and hard to please in
the manner of food. A day or two ago
at lunch, relates the Kansas City Jour
nal, after looking over the dessert list,
she decided or some ice cream pudding.
The meal had been one with which she
had considerable difficulty in finding fault,
but when she had about half finished the
dessert she called the waiter over and
said:
George, what do you mean by calling
this ice cream pudding? There isn't any
ice cream about it, and you know it,
"Yes'm," said the waiter. 81 know
dere amt no ice cream in it. OATS jes'
a name they give it. l do know why"
"Well," she continued. Il think that
if they give q dish such a name they
ought to make it conform to the name,
and if you call this ice cream pudding,
you ought to bring some ice cream with
it."
"Yes'm," answered the s~ervitor, but
you know we can't allus do it that way.
You know we doesn't bring a cottage in
with cottage pudding"
The walters reply brought q burst Of
laughter from the people who heard the
conversation, and since then the woman's
criticisms of the menu nave been few and
infrequent.

SAN FRANCISCO'S CLIMATE.

In San Francisco they are telling a story
that is worth repetition, and viii be APP

says the Philadelphia Press Sunday Mag

tiful.
He went to San Francisco for a sight
seeing trip, and while strolling through the
city with a friend, exclaimed: "Wha

A little later he cried out: "Arrah!

Climate" interrupted the friend.
The Irishman subsidized for awhile.
Now, San Francisco isn't exactly q
prairie, and not many moments passed IN
til the two encountered one of the small
mountains they call knobs out there.

HINT FOR BEEKEEPERS.
How to Secure Full Service of the
Honey Makers Without Weak
ening the Colonies.

Apiarist Edwin Bevins claims to
have discovered two 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 numbers of the colonies up
to what it was before.
One way is to place the hive contain
ing the laying workers over a strong
colony with a fertile queen, placing a
newspaper with a small hole in it be-
tween the two hives, says the New
York Farmer. The bees will unite
peaceably, and when considerable
motherhood appears in the upper
hive the hive can be placed on an
other stand and the bees will rear a
queen from the brood, if the old queen
can be introduced about three days
after the removal Of the hive.
The other plan involves the taking
of a couple of frames of Matching
brood from a hive and placing them
in another hive I'VE a strong colony,
with a frame having a wire cloth
nailed to both sides of it between the
two hives.
Thus a fertile queen and her escort
are released on two combs, and in a
few days there will be a nucleus strong
enough to take care of the queen. This
hive is then set down by the side of
the hive holding the laying workers.
Every two or three days a frame
with the bees must be transferred
from the laying worker hive to the nu-
cleus. By the time all but two Of
the frames are placed in the new hive
the queen is at work there and every
thing is harmonious. .
AS regards the two frames taken to
form the nucleus, they can be returned
to the places from which they were
taken, or these places can be filed by
the frames remaining unused in the
laying-WOrker hive.

POULTRY PICKINGS.

Save the cabbage for the hens.
Leaves make good scratching ma
terial.
Cracked corn will put fat on a fowl
about the quickest of any feed.
A lot of extra cockerels are a nui-
sance. Kill them off if you want eggs.
Green cut bone or good beef scraps
will force the pullets to early maturity.
Dampness is Il of the worst
troubles of POULTRY keepers. Sunshine
is sure cure.
If eggs were sold by weight the talk
about big eggs would give place to that
Of more of 'em.
A Maine hen, college bred, lays 251
eggs a year. She is a business hen
and yields a profit of 176 per cent. a
year.
To start keeping geese the best plan
is to buy breeding stock in the fall.
They mate in February, and unless
accustomed to their new quarters and
each other, will often fail to breed the
first year. Old, well-mated geese of
the highest quality r the cheapest
and most profitable to buy.-Farm and
