BEE KEEPERS COLUMN.
BY r. a. T,1CKNoR


IN the creation Of all things for the
benefit Of man the Great Architect left
something for man to do or to finish
giving him dominion over the fish of
the sea, the fowl Of the air and over the
cattle and over all the earth and every
creeping thing that creepethjupon the
earth and He called them .'very good".
The waters of the earth to be of use
to man must be controlled, the forests
must be made into useful things, and
the soil to be cultivated. The fruit
which God made for man is inferior in
deed to that which is worked out By Il
witty inventions Of man. This same
system Of propagation is be worked
throughout the animal and vegetable
Kingdoms
The inventor of the movable comb
bee hive sought to have access to the
brood nest Of the colony and this with
out destruction or damage to the col
ony and he succeeded perfectly. If
the natural condition of colony of |
bees is left without the help of intelli- |
gent manipulation there will be produc.
ed a useless lot of drenes or male bees
which consume or absorb large
amount of stores in their production
and they are of but little value. The
prevention of the breeding of these use
less bees then will add largely. to the
production of surplus honey
The preparation Of the brood frame
should be such as to have built therein
a perfect straight comb Of worker cells
only that the operator at all times can
take out or put in such brood comb
as will best conserve thus producing
the best results. This together with
pure Italian queen and your bees are
started for large yield of surplus
honey often exceeding 200 lbs average.
There is every propect that the coming
season will be prolific of white clover
crop of honey in this vicinity and the
bee keeper who gets prepared will re-
ceive a large yield. 4

TURKISH MINISTER IN WASHING
TOM SAYS NEW OFFICERS WILL
DO NLL THEY CAN TO CARRY
OUT WORK OF REFORM.

Washington. Aug. S.-Dispatches
received by Mehmed Ali Bey, the
Turkish minister. give additional de-
tails of the membership of the new
cabinet. The present foreign minis
ter Tefwik Pasha will retain that port
folio. The minister in discussing the
personnel of the new cabinet today
said that they re all men of enlight-
eminent and ability who could be de-
pended with the assistance of the par
Lament to carry out the work of re-
form as contemplated. Other advices
received by the minister indicate that
the sultan has not acceded to the de-
mand of the Young Turks party. that
representatives of powers in Mace

The failure of the sultan to dis
charge these men is pointed out as an
indication of his sincerity in carrying
out all his obligations while endea-
voring to secure reform for his own
people.
