LESS SWARMING, MORE BEES

Experience Of Expert Apiarist In Max
ing Increase Of Colonies.
Speaking of the swarming period Of
bees, Secretary Smith Of the Connect
cut Bee Keepers association recently
had the following to say:
"Swarming is frequently 80 annoy
ing to comb honey producers that re-
cent experience Of mine may be help
full On May II found FIVE or six
capped queen cells In my best colony.
and. desiring to prevent swarming and
make moderate increase Of colonies,
! removed five frames Of brood, shak-
ing all the bees back into the hive.
The empty space was filed with
frames of comb. All queen cells *
cept one were destroyed. The Eve
frames Of brood, with the largest ripe
queen cell and ave frames Of founda-
ton, were placed In q new hive. An
other strong colony was moved to q
new stand and the new hive put In it,
place. The removed colony gave up a.
sufficient number Of tts bees to take
care Of the brood in the new hive. and
BY June ! the latter contained . mated.
queen and a good number Of young
bees. The queen Is beauty and may
have been nursed under the superse-
dure impulse in the FIRST place; there
fore she Is strong.
by this method one hive furnished
the combs. brood and queen and an
other supplied the bees. ! have three
good colonies waiting for the clover
honey flow instead of two and do not
expect them to swarm. The day after
robbing the first mentioned colony of
its brood l found the bees at work in
the super. But little has been done in
supers, however. the weather being so
cool and the honey supply so meager."

HANDLING GRAPEVlNES.
Don't Allow Them to Grow at RAN
dom-How to Get the Best Fruit.

dom--How to Get the Best Fruit.
Summer attention Of grapevines con-
sists of pinching off any branches that
are not wanted so as to get foliage
evenly distributed. There will always
be a tendency for the vines TO make
more branches and growth at the top
so that everything should be done TO
correct as much as possible and induce
growth at the bottom.
When the laterals show the punches
pinch off the end. always leaving a
leaf beyond the bunch Of grapes. The
branch will continue to grow by
throwing out shoot at the axil OF the
leaf when the same operation should
be repeated beyond the next leaf pro-
duced.
In this way all the strength will go
to the fruit and excess of foliage and
growth will be prevented.
This summer pinching will reduce
the winter pruning very materially.
but it will always be necessary to
prune off the branches that have borne
the grapes. just leaving the vertical
canes. cutting the branches back every
winter
The work is pleasant and very sim
pie A little study will enable any one
to grasp the principles. Apart from
the better quality Of grapes that will
be produced the grape arbors will be a
much more pleasing object than they
often present when the vines are al
lowed to grow at random. - Farm

DES MONIES, May 4.-Reports
from over the state show that the ef-
forts of Keltz and others to control
the progressive machine for Garst In
the governorship campaign are meet
ing with trouble.
The first came when Smith Brook
hart, progressive candidate for con-
gressional nomination in the First dis
trict, told them to keep their hands off
his district. Nate Kendall, who like
Governor Carroll is seeking a second
term, has through his friends declared
that they shall not organize in his dis
trict. In the Ninth, progressive friends
of H. w. Byers for congress, have told
him to keep them out of tie Ninth or
they will remove their support, many
of them being for Carroll.
In the Second district but little head
way can be made. A meeting at Edo
ra and Ackley in Hardin county the
other night ended in a row and no or
ganization was made. In Dubuque
county an effort to deliver the organi
zation ended in a big split in the so
called progressive machine.
