latter swarms," and those which with

ers who believe bees should swarm
once each year, for this prevents in
breeding" which would ruin a stock
farm, but after this first swarm it
should be so managed that there
should be no more. How this can be
done will be understood by reading
the many articles on preventing
swarming; but, briefly, it consists IN
putting the swarm into a new, empty
hive on the old stand.
For absconding swarms l know nc
remedy, unless it be that you always
put bees into a cool, well-shaded hive
which is clean and out of reach o

Some farmers of Sangamon count?

has been a great deal of speculation
over the "~discovery' of this new plant
Vineless sweet potatoes, so'called'
are not very we'll known, though tney
have been grown in some parts OF the
south for many years. Doubtless the
Illinois farmers got some OF the seeu
of this variety from the south WITHOUT
knowing what 1t was.
The place of origin OF this variety Is
somewhat in dispute and the probaoii-
ity is that it was independently orlg'-
mated by at least two men, one repof'
seems to give satisfactory evidence
that it was found in 1884 on the plan

Another report of the origin OF a
yineless sweet potato which seems
authentic was given in the Atlanta
Weekly Constitution for December ~
1893. In an article in that issue by
A. G. Paddleford of Edwards, Miss.
he states that his father, T. d. Paddle

Of this variety, the following seems
certain: 1t is a mutation or sport
from the old-fashioned yellow yam
