HIvING A SWARM.
Methods Followed by Successful Bee
Keeper.

When bees get to hanging out on
the hive, l raise it from the bottom
board one inch, and then if they do
not stop raise them higher, explains
a bee keeper in Farm and Home. I
think that raising them is very good
preventative of swarming. A certain
percentage of colonies will swarm in
spite of anything that may be done.
1t takes but little to induce swarming
during a good honey harvest. Bees
left to themselves will generally send
out one swarm in a season, often a
second swarm, sometimes a third
In hiving swarms it frequently hap
pens that the bees take wing when
dumped in front Of their new hive in
stead of crawling into it. We have
had few swarms go back and clus-
ter on the same limb after they had

Bio Brooches.

Big brooches are all the go-really
big ones, such as were worn two gen
erations ago; only, with the exception
of the cameo pins, they are more gor-
geous affairs. The modern big brooch
CLEANS and sparkles or is sheet OF
vivid color. There is nothing de-
mure about tit is a striking, effec-
tive ornament.
Most of the big pins hold single
semi-precious stone. The stone makes
the brooch, for the setting is simply a
narrow rim about it. Transparent
stones are not, as rule, backed with
setting, as this detracts from their ap-
pearance.
Amethyst and topaz seem to out
number other transparent stones used
for these big brooches, such as gar
net peridot, aquamarine, etc. Well
cut topaz pins CLEAN like living fire;
the amethyst pins glow with more
subdued light

Hap@sn@ Skirts
Simple Process .nar Will Insure a
Correct Drop to Finished Garment.

Finish your skirt all but the bottom,
then give it a thorough pressing. Take
large pail or a small tub, or any
thing round that measures about 10
inches in depth and about Is inches
around the top and has good edge.
Be sure your depth measures even all
around. Put your piano stool in cen
ter of tub. If the top is hollow put
board over to make it level. Now you
can raise and lower your stool, accord.
ing to the length you desire your
skirt. For full length the stool
must be even with edge of tub; if
shorter, lower your stool as much be-
low the edge as you want the skirt to
measure from the floor Stand up on
stool perfectly still, allowing your
skirt to fall over tub. Have some one
mark on the edge, on the right side of
skirt, with piece of tailor chalk,
being careful not to slide the skirt
away from it's natural place. Turn up
according to chalk line, and you will
have perfect length.

Ruffles Must Be Coaxed.

The majority of laundries have not
vet learned how to iron satisfactorily
the platings so popular this season on
the front of shirtwaists. The best way
is to fasten down the plating with
two rows of basting before it is
washed. The piece should then be
ironed on the wrong side to press the
plaits in shape. When this is done,
draw out the hastings and iron on the
right side. Some laundries flute them
but they do not look so well. If the
plating is edged with lace it will need
careful picking out with the fingers
Some girls have found it less trouble
and more satisfactory to buy the plat
ing by the yard, and, after it is soiled,
throw it away.

PLANT GROWTH.
Essential Conditions in the Most Fa'
VorabIe Development.

Some of the essential conditions ia
vorable for plant growth are mellow
soil, available plant food, and air and
moisture in the soil. A mellow soil
is necessary that the growth and for
aging powers of the roots may not
be restricted The little roots reach
out in every direction for food which
is furnished to them in solution;
hence the necessity for moisture. Ok
ygen is not only essential to assist
in breaking up chemical compounds in
plant food so the root hairs may alb.
sorb them, but is also the fundamen-
tai necessity of respiration or
breathing. Respiration is as essen
tial for roots as it is for leaves, and
the soil must be kept stirred and open
for free access of atmospheric oxygen
or the roots will suffocate and die.
Under favorable conditions roots will
continue to perform their functions,
but if injudicious gases replace atmos-
pheric air, the result is death. This
point is well illustrated, says G. p.
Close, in towns or parks where gas
pipes have been laid near trees or
shrubs, and leaks have occurred per-
hitting the gas to saturate the ground
and to come in contact with the roots.
The air being lighter than the gas
is pushed upward, while the gas takes
it's place and asphyxiates the roots,
causing death.
When the supply Of oxygen to the
roots is insufficient, detrimental chem
ical changes take place within the
roots. Alcohol and various acids are
formed, which, acting poisonously,
cause the death and decay of the part,
and as these products of decay are
transported to the living parts, the
latter perish also. In this case as
phyxiation is caused principally by
a continual water-soaked soil about
the roots. Thus we see that mel
low soil, allowing free access of air
to the roots, is one OF the necessary
conditions Of plant growth.

The star colony in a bee-keeper's
apiary is the one that gives the most
surplus honey and keeps it up the
longest. BY this test every one of
us must test our colonies and try to

or at least as nearly so as possible.

says Bee Culture. In offering an api-
airy of over 20 colonies of bees recent
", the owner wrote: II have every
queen clipped, and every queen and
colony numbered, and keep record
OF them, and know of what strain
each queen is, and what is the record
of each colony" But how many bee
keepers think this worth while and

Wind over back of chair as much
silk off the spool as you think neces-
sary for the work. Slip off chair, hold
silk firmly, and cut at one end. You
now have all your thread the same
length. Next take a piece of beeswax
and wax well. Press with a warm
iron and tie with string in center of
threads to keep all together. You
thus will be able to use every inch
of silk without the usual knots and

David Uniapon, a full-blooded native
of the norther territory, Australia, who
combines a genius for mathematics
with a passion for music, claims to
have invented a machine which will
secure perpetual motion. He is now
in Adelaide. the capital of South Aus
tralia, seeking the means of testing
the feasibility of his mechanism. He
explains that the forces which he pro-
poses to use are gravitation and mo-
mentum and he had to come to AIDE
laide to seek the assistance of the alb
orinines department in procuring four
beveled wheels, a spindle, tube and
so on. He is confident that when he
gets these requisites he can put to-
gether a machine which will bring
perpetual motion appreciably nearer.
