be sometimes years old or more. An
other cause Of spring dwindling Is the
small number of bees, either young or
old, in the hive. If there are only enough
bees TO keep themselves warm there are
no bees to 20 out into the fields 10 bring
in nectar, pollen and water Thus they viii
merely huddle together until they die The
temperature Of the hive must be main
tanned at all hazards in order that the
process Of rearing young brood may 90
on.
When the bees go out Of the hive to
engage in the outdoor work the tempera-
ture Of the hive may fall and II Il gets too
low no more bees viii leave the hive un-
til q sufficient number that are out have
returned to lift the temperature to the
proper degree, when others will go out. A
colony that is strong enough to send out
goody number OF bees into the fields
and still retain a sufficient number for
the home work will not be troubled with
spring dwindllng.
Another cause Of spring dwindling is
when the sun is shining brightly but the
air is raw and chilly The bees come out
and find # warm around the entrance
ol tilt HlNe. 4 ANiNkluh III Whfm enough
they dive away into the air and soon be-
come chilled and fall to the ground to
perish Thousands Of bees perish every
spring in this way.
Some colonies are strong enough to en-
dure these loses and others are not. The
cure for spring dwindling may be suggest
ed by the cause. II the colony does not
breed up well in the fall, It is probable
that they are in need Of a new queen. The
old queen should be removed and a new
queen given II the colony is weak in
the spring give It as much protection as
possible contract the brood nest and con-
serve the heat of the hive
II the sun is shining on the entrance Of

M. E. MINISTERS
SAY FAREWELL

Yesterday being the last Sunday be-
fore the annual session Of the Whining
ton NJ. f. Conference and the last Sum
day Of the year in Methodist churche-
their ministers preached farewell sermons.
Although a large percentage OF the min
listers will probably be returned 70 their
present charges, there win be some
changes.
The Rev. John NJ. Artors, before large
congregations yesterday morning and
evening preached his last sermon as
pastor Of Epworth M. L. Church. Mr..
Arters will leave the ministry to engage
in temperance work. having been named
field secretary Of the Peninsula for the
Anu-saolon League 70 take the place OF
the Rev. Royal W. Raymond. who is now
doing temperance work In Washington
state. Mr.. Arters made no formal fare
well. but gave the congregation advice as
to the treatment Of a new pastor. Il is
said that the next pastor Of Epworth
Church, in all probability, viii be the Rev.
George c. Williams, Of Berlin, Md. AS a
mark Of their appreciation, the Epworth
choir and a number Of friends surprised
Mr.. and Mrs Arters on Saturday night
and spent the evening in the parsonage.

BEES ON THE FARM
Article No. 2.
BY Joel s. ellHllan.

Spring Dwindling: What is that and
what is its cause and cureY This would
probably be as good time as any to
speak of this. The cause may go back
to the preceding fall In the fan OF the
year the fail flowers afford a stimulus TO
the bees' and during the time they are
bringing in the nectar from these flow
ers' they are at the same time rearing
young bees. These young bees form a
rich inheritance for the colony when the
spring arrives. for they are young and
fresh and vigorous. and can do an inn
mense amount OF work. which is so nee
essary in the spring. but suppose that
few young bees were reared in the fan.
then the colony comes through the winter
with old bees that have already worn
themselves out I'm service and are ill-1tted
for the strenuous spring work.
A word about the length Of the life Of
bee VIII make this plain. Usually a bee
works itself to death. AS long as there
Is nectar the BLOSSOMS the bee win con-
uhue untlringly to carry II 70 the hive
untll It's wings have become so warn thai
'hey VIII not carry It. Then the bee walks
out OF the hive and away from the hive

the hive. / have put many a one that I
saw going away from the hive back into
the hive, but it would not stay there The
other bees would not disturb It. made no
effort to harm it, yet il refuses TO remain
where it is no longer useful
In the height Of the honey season the
IRE OF bee is about Six weeks. then
some day after making many visits be-
tween the hive and the flowers, It finds
as It starts home with its load OF sweet
nectar that It can scarcely fly ana after
many fails and then rising again slowly
ana trying again and by short flights and
after a very laborious trip It reaches the
hive runs in and deposits its load and
then, looking neither to the right nor left.
runs out again and leaving its home be-
hind it forever finds a place to lie down
and there dies.
Now when the bees are doing nothing.
they will live for months. So they live
through the winter. But in that hive in
winter are thousands of bees that have
already done considerable service in the
field the fall before and that are only
able for a few more days Of work. When
the spring opens and the work begins the
death rate is very large If the colony
has large number Of young bees that
have not vet done field work. these deaths
Of the old bees are not felt seriously, but
II 1t is largely made up Of old bees. the
dwindling Of the colony is very marked
and soon there will be too few bees to
carry on the work and the decrease In
numbers may go on until only the queen
IS left This condition Is fitly described

Because YOU have contracted ordinary colds and recovered from
 them without treatment Of any kind, do not for q moment imag- inc that colds are not dangerous. Everyone knows that pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their origin Ill a common cold. Con- sumption IS not caused by cold
 but the cold prepares the system for the reception and develop ment of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodg- ment. It Is the same with all infectious diseases. Diptherla,
 scarlet fever, measles and whoop- ing cough are much more likely
 to be contracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this that more real danger turks in a cold than in any other of the common ailments. The quickest and easiest way to cure cold Is to take Chamberlains Cough Remedy. The many remarka ble cures effected by this preparation have made 1t staple article of trade over a large part of the world. For sale by all druggists.
