1t Is a Mistake

Many have the idea that anything
will sell If advertised strong enough.
This Is a great mistake. True, a
few sales might be made by advertis-
ing an absolutely worthless article but
1t is only the article that Is bought
again and again that pays. An ex-
ample of the big success of worthy
article is the enormous sale that has
grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathar-
tic. This wonderful record is the result
OF great merit successfully made known
through persistent advertising and the
mouth-to-mouth recommendation given
Cascarets by it's friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting public,
by marketing fake tablets similar In
appearance to Carcarets. Care should
always be exercised in purchasing we'll
advertised goods, especially an article
that has national sale like Cascar-
cts. Do not allow a substitute to be
palmed off On you.

TO TRANSFER BEE COLONIES
Easily Done If Simple Directions Given
Below Are FoIowed-impie-
n1ents Needed.

(By W. r. WRIGHT, Oklahoma Expert
ment Stationo
Many persons who desire to trans
fer their bees do not understand the
best method to use to make the oper-
tons are given below.
Secure bee veil, a smoker. a long
bladed knife, the wire from an old
broom or two, a pair of wire pliers
and cutter, two Or three rolls of old
cotton CLOTH some matches, a piece
of stout string, an ak or Ratchet, and
a pair of gloves, if you wish to protect
your hands from possible stings.
Place the new hive near the colony
to be transferred and have about half
of the frames full Of foundation: the
remaining four or five frames are to
be reserved for holding comb taken,
little later, from the old hive.
The wires may be passed around the
frames iengthwise, but such an ar.
rangement will make it necessary to
remove the frames from the hive at
a later date, after the combs, which
have been held in place by the wires,
have been securely fastened to the
frames
After starting good smoke in the
bee smoker, putting on the bee veil
and gloves, tying down the trouser
legs, one is all ready to make the
transfer. An assistant is desirable,
but not necessity.
Take from the new hive the frames
that are to contain the combs to be
cut from the old hive, and place them
on wide board or small table.
Now go to the colony and puff in
some smoke at the entrance, then jar
the hive by light blows, then puff in
more smoke and jar the hive again.
| This should be done four or five
times to cause the bees to fill them
selves with honey. Bees with we'll
filled honey sacks are not inclined to
sting. A forenoon hour of some pleas
ant day should be chosen for this op-
Grafton.
There are some advantages~in wrap
ping strings about frames instead of
uoAao WI %, LII tAC UScS Will remove
the strings, while the wires will re-
main until removed by the apiarist.
A small whisk broom or turkey
feather will be a great aid in encour-
aging the bees to travel in the right
direction.
After the preliminary smoking and
drumming the hive should be turned
bottom up and an empty box put on
top, and the drumming and smoking
continued until most of the bees have
passed up into the box.
The new hive, now standing where
the old hive stood, will soon have re-
turning workers rushing in and out, so
the new hive should be supplied with
combs from the old ones as quickly as
possible; then the box of bees should
be shaken into the top or onto a board
or paper in front. Care should be
taken that not many bees are crushed
and that nearly all get into the new
hive, or the queen may be lost, bring
ing about failure. Scraps of honey
should be carried to the house and
honey drips carefully washed up, or
there may be bad case of robbing.
