What is Your Altitude?

There are few things people are
off on more than the altitude OF
the place in which they live. For
example,: There are not ten
people in Saratoga that know the
altitude of this future great. Be

place, as well as that of some OF

The Swarm Catcher.

been carried to the hive two or three
times. We recently got the thought
that little spraying would overcome
this difficulty. We have tried it on
a few swarms with good results.
While the cluster is yet hanging on
the tree take a small spray pump, or
syringe. and wet the cluster of bees
with one 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 it. They
will cling together while you carry
them to the hive, and when dumped
in front of it they will not readily
take wing again, but will run into 1t.
Swarms that have been hived a few
hours and seem restless, or cluster
mostly on the outside of their hive,
can also be made more tractable by a
little spraying. Bees need a great
quantityof water during summer, and
the beekeeper can supply their needs
in a few minutes where 1t would re-
quire hours for the bees to gather it
themselves.
Put the new hive containing the
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 so 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 a
good, strong colony by the close of
the season.

CARE IN EQUIPMENT.
Smoker, Veil and Gloves Should 30
Ready for Handling of Bees.

While one might sometimes tear a
hive to pieces without angering bees,
nevertheless it would be unwise to un-
dertake to do so without being pre-
pared for other results. Not only
should the smoker be lit and handy,
but the apiarist himself should be
equipped with some kind of an efIec-
tive veil, so that in case they should
become vengeful he will be able to
give them his undivided attention. AS
to whether or not gloves should be
worn depends upon the inclination OF
the man and upon his ability to en-
dure the pain from the stings. Some
men find it necessary to wear them al
ways, while others manage better
without them. II good fitting and of
soft material they should not be bun
glesome nor clumsy to work in. But a
stiff, thick glove with open top would
invariably be worse than none. For
women, gloves are, of course, a neces-
sity since their hands are naturally
softer and more tender than are those
of men.
When a colony is to be examined let
the apiarist, suitably prepared, and
armed with a smoker, approach the
hive directly yet quietly, and admins,
ter a few puffs of smoke at the en-
trance. This will brighten the bees
and cause them to fill themselves with
honey, after which they will be less
inclined to sting. In about minute the
cover should be gently raised and a
few more puffs blown in over the
combs. After this the intended work
may be proceeded with at once, using
from time to time just what smoke is
necessary to control the bees. In
many instances, there will be no fur
Their occasion to use 1t at all, but In
case they show signs of anger it is
better to administer enough to cause
them to rush back into the hive again
and when 1t must be done the quick
or better. But the object should be
to control, not punish. therefore nc
more should ever be used than the
| occasion demands. In this, as in al
other things, one should be guided by
humane principles, and forbear to
prosecute.
For loosening and raising the
frames there is no better tool than {

such have, a sharp tapering point de

CARE FOR THE NEST.
Ways in Which You Can Encourage
the Hens to Lay.

Do you know that you can train a
hen to be poor layer?
Do you know that she can and will
keep her eggs when ready to lay for
a whole day?
If this condition is allowed to con-
tinue she may and probably will lay
fewer and fewer eggs, finally becoming
an Indifferent layer, hence the neces-
sity of having plenty of clean, com
Portable nests.
Did you ever notice how shyly the
young pullet will go about looking for
secret place where she may stealth
lily deposit her precious eggs?
How very particular she is about it,!
IL there is an insufficient number of
nests, or If they are unclean, or too
much exposed she is likely, after
some delay, to lay the egg on the floor
and among the other hens, which may
lead to egg eating.
Comfort is one Of the essentials of
egg productions. and what is more
necessary than handy, clean and com
Portable nests?

Keeping Colony Record.

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
bring all the rest up to its standard,
or at least as nearly so as possible.
A record should be kept of all colo
mics, each hive having a number,
says Bee Culture. In offering an api-
airy of over 20 colonies of bees recent
ly, the owner wrote: II have every
queen clipped. and every queen and
colony numbered, and keep a 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
do Il?
