Beginning Bee Keeping.

Beginning Bee Keeping.
First provide yourself with two Or
three hives of exactly the same dimen-
sions, with movable combs, any one OF
which will fit in any Of the hives.
Then take one Of these hives to some
bee keeper who has Italian bees and
have him fll it with top swarm. Take
it home as soon as possible after It
has been hived. II you can not do
that the same day, when you do take
it home put it in the cellar for day
before setting 1t out in the yard. The
bees will be known they are in q
strange place, and will mark the loca-
ton on leaving the hive. Remember
that In the working season bee hive
can not be moved more than foot or
two without the loss of good many
bees. as they will return to the same
spot whether the hive is there or not
II the hive is kept In the dark for
day and put in an entirely new place.
however, they will find their way back
when loaded with honey.
We would begin with but one swarm
and then study the habits of bees.
learn how to handle them without get
ting nervous. In other words, get ac-
quainted with your bees: give them to
understand that you are their friend.
! In a good honey season top swarm
| should gil up the hive with COMPS
during the first honey harvest. and
should be able to store some surplus
honey during the fall. II you are
anxious to increase your stock, how
ever, about the time the hive is full
of combs and there Is plenty of brood.
which can be ascertained on examina-
ton, take out about two of the. brood
combs, put them In another hive. re-
move your first hive about rod, and
set the new hive on the old stand
There will in all likelihood be some
queen cells in one of these new combs,
that will hatch out in a few days, and
thus you will have two hives from
one; or. when the first hive is quite
full of comb, you can take out the
comb that has queen in it, put 1t IN
this second hive. fill it up with empty
racks, and put on the old stand.
u The main thing, however, is to get
acquainted with your bees-to be able
to distinguish queen from worker
and both from drone; to know a
queen cell when you see 1t "a Ions
cell, standing perpendicular, usually
found where there is break in the
> comb or on the edge); and to distin
guish the brood in it's various stages
: All this must be learned by observa
; ton and experience. Books can onl,
point out what you can see for your
: self If you will keep your eyes open.
IL you find that the bees like yo'
+ and you like them, there is no troubl
in increasing the number Of swarm
to any desired extent Every farme
ought to have q few swarms of bees
enough to furnish him with honey
dear to the heart Of childhood, enoug
y to gather his share Of the tons Q
honey that go to waste every year I
= every neighborhood, and also to ferti
ize the fruit blossoms. There is prof
: in bee keeping on the farm to thi
. extent; but we do not advise 1t to an
greater extent unless the farmer ma
time to make it a speciality and Civ
1t a large portion of his attention
There will usually be found on tn
: farm some boy or girl who has knac
. for handling the bees.-Wallace'

REGULAR Burial Place,

A well-known English bishop some
time since lost his third wife. A cler-
lyman who had known the first wife
returned from Africa and wanted to
see the grave. He called at the cathe-
dral and saw the verger.
Can you tell me where the bishops
wife is buried?"
well, sir" replied the verger. Y
don't know for certain, but he mostly
buries 'em at Brompton."

hogs are numbered by the hundreds.
Yes, it does not take long to get
herd of hogs, but it takes much less
time to get rid Of them with fearful
loss il hog cholera once makes its APP
pearance among them. On account OF
this disease. hog raising has always
been hazardous undertaking and
perilous business. All sorts Of nos
trums have been recommended as
sure cure.
1t is positively known to be germ
disease. and all curative and preven-
tive measures that have not been aim
ed directly at the specific cause have
been of no avail For many years
the United States department of agri-
culture has had corps Of scientific in
vestigators working exclusively upon
this disease with view not SO mucn
of finding remedy as a means OF pre-
venting the disease. 1t seems at least
that their efforts have been rewarded
and that we are to have preventive
serum, which at nominal expense
will positively immunize hogs against
this deadly infection.
Next month the scientists from the
different experiment stations interest

Ames, Iowa. for a general conference
and to determine upon some means OF
systematically extending the expert

There seems to be a good opening for

larger than is necessary for those
which are on a comparatively small
