The location Of bee hives during sum
mer Is important. Bees do not work
contentedly in hive that is exposed
to the sun. During midday, when the
temperature of the atmosphere is high,
work within the hive, such as comb
building, must be suspended, as the
heat is then too great for comfort, espe-
cially as the bodies Of the little work
ers also give off considerable warmth.

Obiectn to Trees.

"Don't say tree to me-" commanded
the man with an Arbor day crouch. II
have no objection to forests; in fact, 1
think them good thing they
belong. What do object to is living
in the shadow of city forest. Take
my neighbor, for instance. Along the
north edge of his property and well
away from his own house is a double
row of trees that were very charming
when young. They made little more
than hedge then, and we enjoyed both
the beauty and the privacy they pro-
vided. But that's all changed now. My
house is close up to them, and we dwell
in shadows us deep as those cast by
the forest primeval. All our windows
which should be flooded with dazzling
sunshine show merely dark green and
black shadows. Worse yet, the wood
work never gets chance to dry off, SO
everything's always rotting away. It's
positively uncanny. Now, If my neigh
Dor Is SO fond of trees, why doesn't he
plant them up close to his own house?'

No man who owns a COW can afford

the consciences of mankind in the Inst four
years. We had got to point in this country
where patriotism meant little more than

and treason In their hearts. The moral awak-
