times. We recently got the thought
that little spraying would overcome
this difficulty. We have tried It on
few swarms with good results.
While the cluster is yet hanging on
the tree take n small spray pump, or
syringe, and wet the cluster OF bees
with ont or two quarts OF cold water.
then take your swarm catcher shown
In the cut and turn It up under the
cluster and get them into IL. They
will cling together while you carry
them to the hive ami when dumped
in front Of It they will not readily
take wing again, but will run into 1t.
Swarms that have been hlyed few
hours and seem restless, or cluster
mostly on the outside of their hive,
can also be made more tractable By
little spraying. Bees need a great
quaptityof water during summer. and
the beekeeper can supply their needs
In a few minutes where il would TO-
quire hours for the bees TO gather 10
themselves.
Put the new hive containing tho
swarm on the old stand, exactly
where the old hive stood and place
the old hive close beside the new one.
The next morning as the bees go
forth from this hive to work. they
will nearly all return to the old place
and enter the other hive making that
colony very strong. and in condition
to store a great crop. The other col
ony will be 50 reduced In numbers
that the bees will not be moved to
swarm again and will fall In with the
first queen that matches and probably
give much surplus. 1t will make
good, strong colony by the close OF
the season.

HOW TO CHAT WELL. .
Subject is Well Worthy Of important
Consideration.

How comparatively few there are
who can chat we'll who can practice
the art pleasantly. easily and enter
tainngly.
Chatting is not conyersation--it Is
not mere talking. II is not speaking
90 Il person on any special subject. 1t
is not talking with a purpose, and yet
1t is not purposeless.
1t is simply acquiring the art OF
touching lightly on variety OF every.
day topics.
There must be an element OF the
unexpected in chatting, a slight uncer.
tainty as to what will come next,
and not n firm conviction that be.
fore the speaker quits there will be a
dissertation on health or special
hobby.
Those who would chat well must
have sense of proportion; they must
learn not TO spend too much time
over mass of details that are really
unimportant and yet they must not
ignore those details, however small.
which serve to give realistic touches.
The essence OF chatting the most
delightful form of conversation, Is to
