SPEEDING UP THE BEES.
One Keeper Who Has Brought Mod.
ern Methods TO Bear.

"Ye kin speed up a bee the same
as man." said the graybeard, chuck
ling cruelty. why, / git twicct as
much agin out O them thar 60 hives
o mine as | would If | didn't speed
'em.
zone way to speed yer bee is to
bring the flowers close to the
hives. My flowers, ye see surrounds
tn hives, crowds em in. Sech a
sight gives the bee a fever Before
sech plenty he can't work hard
enough, Nothin' must be lost, an he
gathers the honey by gosh, till he
fair drops. I'm specdin' him unbe-
knOwnst.
"The young bee likes to stay home
an make comb instead o. goin' out
after the honey. Well, / speed the
young bee by putin artificial comb
In the hives. That leaves him moth
in to do--an' he'll never loaf-but so
out honey-gatherin', an SO, with a
sigh, out he goes.
Another way to speed yer bee Is
to keep the combs always nearly
empty. That worries him. He sees
winter comm on, an doubles his eff
frots to prepare for it.
I've heerd o. speedin a bee by
koopin electric lights burnin' about
the hive, so that the little critter
would think it was still daylight, an
would work on 20 or 21 hours day
instead o the usual II. Electric
speedin', though | don't believe in.
1t damages the health of the bee. 1t

Shrink Wash Coma.

This is good rule to keep ging-
hams fresh and bright; Always
shrink your goods in the fold, viz, the
yard folds as they come from the
store; lay them smoothly in large tub,
using tepid water and a handful of
common salt Let the goods remainI
over night, then remove without
wrneing and hang up by selvageI
edges until dry Always use white
soa9 to wash them and iron on wrong
side. All wash goods treat ia this
way.

an OLD HAT AND A

crossed themselves, he as h%thought
of the gray-eyed colleen who had
plighted troth to him so many years
ago, she of the sweet old mother who
had blessed her as she died,
But in moment the daughter re-

"To continue" he said "the glass
most often handled is most often the

sils of kitchen and dining room re-
ceives the hardest usage and bears
the brunt of damage. 1t is safe to
say 1t constitutes one-third of all
the glass broken in the United States,

slightly over 81 a year for each
