Everybody Ia curious to seb bees ac-
tually at work. Take a Rectangular
Glass aquarium and place it 4 n n win
ae# ELL elevated sl!ghely az aso eide
nearest the window, SO thu when the
latter is raised an Inch IT, bees may
pass In and out. If desif the bees
may be kept for some timlA / conflne-
mont by raising tho aquarium an inch
Dn blocks and using a. strip of wire
screen cloth to prevent the bees from
escaping.
When confined the bees shopld be fed
a strip Of equal parts Of sugar and
water, A frame or two Of bees may
be purchased for a trihlng sum.
Put within this glass aquarium some
rustic supports to represent projecting,
~undecayed portions Of the inside of tho
hollow trunk. Keep all coveredsby an
opaque cloth when not observing what
is going on within this glass bee home.
Then the bees will be free to work
and to adapt themselves to the enyi-
ronment. They can suit their own
fancy about attaching combs to tho
sticks; they may build ~diagonally or In
any other form that they may prefer,
and they may attach the comb to sides
or ends just when and where they
think 1t Is necessary.
In the artificial hives the combs are
attached only at the edges, but in nat
L conditions within the bee tree or
In Its counterpart, as represented by
b. old fashioned box hive with opaque
sides and In u transparent inverted
aquarium, the bees can build combs
n attach them IN any way that they
see At.
One Of the most interesting objects
for study 10 to note when the bees
think 1t necessary to put out O side
support from a long comb. They seem
to believe that they are really within
a hollow tree and that 1t Is likely to be
sWayed by the gales. or course when
30 swayed long combs laden with
honey or with young bees would be
too much for the unylelding rigldity of
the upper part Of the combs. These, IL
they have no side stays. would bend,
crack and DO crashed against each
other.
The bees have learned this and give
the combs q fine support whenever 1t
Is necessary. They do this, it Is true to
a certain extent, in the regular eight
or ten frame hive, but not with the
naturalness with which they do.it In q
large, unobstructed space.
Not long ago q veteran beekeeper
took a colony Of bees from an attic,
where they had been for many years.
"Well," said he, "you should have
seen the funny forms Of those combs
most interesting thing 1 ever saw.
There was one pillar almost round-a
solid center right and several feet long
and these combs around that; the
most fantastic shape you ever saw

We have published frequently the

heretofore has been q little long. The
following has been prepared for the
Columbia State by Mr.. James Horny

Usually about tho middle Of March.
Drop com grains every six inches.
Use no fertilizer, Give first working
with harrow or any pillow that will not
cover plant. Second working with 10

and middle may be kept clean until

For 80 bushels to the acre leave

Do not pull fodder; do not out tops
let peas and pea vines die on land.

Every farmer In this county should
