STOLE HORSE AND BUGGY
FROM ECLIPSE STABLE

Information has Just been made
public of the theft OF horse and
buggy from the Eclipse livery stable
on the second of the present month
by a man and woman who gave their
names as Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Lohn-

canvass OF the town for the purpose
of selling q receipt for making solder
by means OF which tinware. etc. could
be easily mended at home. A few
days after arriving here their Oldest
child died and was buried In Lakeside
cemetery. The morning following the
fnterment Lohndorf went to the livery
stable and hired a horse and buggy
ostensibly to drive to Brookside and
Florence. He said he would not be
back till late at night. or possibly not
until the next day.
Lohndorf failed to keep his promise
and his whereabouts is still unknown.
Nothing was heard from him or OF

January 21st, 1907, but is being held

is essential that something be done

BEE KEEPING 3
SHIPPING HONEY IN QUANTITY.
Method by Which a Good cu1I:ty
Has Been Obtained.

Some bsekeepers are putting W.
candied honey in cartons for sal'in :
In large quantities, says Fled AMI
Farm. After extracting. the honey
is poured through a strainer into a
small tank with a large hose at
tached to the bottom. This hose leads
through a hole in the wall o. thu
building to a galvanized iron tank
outside. The tanks are covered with
thin muslin cloth to keep out dust.
bees, flies, etc. and at the same time
1t Is intended to let in the sun heat
to thoroughly ripen the honey by
evaporation. Then there is another
roof or cover of metal or shingles to
keep out rain. The honey is allowed
to stay in these tanks until II begins
to show signs of candying when IT IS
drawn off through large honey gates
2k inches wide into the cartons.
These are put into cases immediate
ly. holding from forty to sixty
pounds, according to the size of bags.
If the tops are folded while the hon
ey is still liquid the paper will wriu-
kle and make a rough job, hence II is
well to use light topless and bot
tomless box, or sort of rim as an ex-
tension to the sides and ends OF the
case, to hold the lid off of the Paper
bags until the honey solidiiies. In
this way the cases of honey may be
stacked on top of each other quite
high without bending the paper.
When the honey Is sufficiently solidi-
fed, these false rims may be re-
moved, the tops folded down, piece
of paper laid on and the tops of the
ready for shipment, or sale. as the
case may be.

Uniting Colonies.

To unite bees select two colonies,
contract them on four combs each,
leaving them the four best combs
that contain the most brood and hon
ey. Then take away one of the
queens and If there is any difference
reject the inferior ones of course.
After leaving them in this condition
day or two, the four frames of
queenless bees can be taken out of
their hive and set into the other to-
wards evening. The queenless sec
ton will easily give up their home
and be glad to accept the other
which has a queen. They will, in
most every case, unite peaceably. A
frame Of comb can be put into the
hive which has been made vacant in
case some bees do return to IT. the
next day, whence they can also be
carried to the united colony and
shaken in front of the hive the next
evening.

Mamma at the Phone.

Our letter it is l.,

Unless she IS alone,

Somebody tend the phone!"
When some one calls up or r
Or B upon the line
Our telephone it does not ring,
But flutters faint and fine;
And when she hears within the box
That calls for those unknown,
Whatever else she has on hand
Then mammals at the phone.
Anon she hears the gentle purr
Within the wooden box
She's darning sisters stockings
Or little brothers socks
But these she quickly lays aside;

Activity of the Queen Bee.

AZ rule a young queen Will be-
gin laying at about ten days of age.
From this time on, except for two
months or so In winter, she will lay
continuously during her entire lie
time, which is ordinarily from three
to four years, although she does not
lay the same number of eggs at all
seasons. In the early spring when the
cluster is small and little heat can be
maintained, but few eggs are pro-
duced. AS the cluster increases and
the weather becomes warmer, she
lays more and more freely, until
along in June, after honey begins to
come in freely, she reaches her maxi
mum limit. AS soon as the honey
flow begins to fail she drops off
again, producing from that time on
only enough to keep up the popula-
ton of the hive. But let the flow in
crease at any time and she will i'm
mediately respond with an increased
out put of eggs. This response to
prosperity is not, however, due to
any special instinct on her part, but
rather to more generous feeding,
caused perhaps by a greater con-
sumption of honey by the workers.

To Tell Amount Of Honey.

Some apiarists guess at the amount
Of honey in hive by lifting II at the
back end. A little practice will read
lily enable one to tell the condition of
the stores by that method, but II is
not so safe as an examination of the
inside.
Should the hives be light and not
very populous, it is necessary to feed
them. If only a small percentage OF
the colonies need help, this may be
given in the most profitable way by
exchanging some of the lightest
combs of needy colonies for very
heavy combs of strong and populous
hives In that case, not only honey
may be given, but also brood, which
will help a weak colony towards
greater strength.

In the Surface Car,

A fat Irishwoman, bearing a num-

street car. The only semblance of a
seat she could find was a small space
at the right of a smartly dressed
youth. Into this space. sufficient
only for an individual OF ordinary
size, the feshy Irishwoman squeezed
herself, much to the annoyance of
the youth.
After a moment or so the Irish
woman produced a cheese sandwich,
which she proceeded to devour with
every evidence of relish.
At this the youth gave her a look

him.
