LESS SWARMING, MORE BEES.
Experience Of Expert Apiarist In Max
ing Increase Of Colonies.

Experience of Expert Apiarist In Maxi
ing Increase of Colonies.
Speaking Of the swarming period Of
bees, Secretary Smith of the Connecti-
cut Bee Keepers association recently
had the following to say:
"Swarming is frequently so annoy
ing to comb honey producers that re-
cent experience of mine may be help
full. On May II l found five or six
capped queen cells in my best colony,
and, desiring to prevent swarming and
make a moderate increase of colonies,
l removed five frames of brood, shak-
ing all the bees back into the hive.
THE empty space was Tiled with
frames of comb. All queen cells ex-
cept one were destroyed. The five
frames of brood. with the largest ripe
queen cell and five frames of founda-
ton, were placed in a new hive. An
other strong colony was moved to
new stand and the new hive put in it's
place. The removed colony gave up a
sufficient number of it's bees to take
care Of the brood in the new hive, and
by June l the latter contained a mated
queen and good number of young
bees. The queen is a 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. l 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."

SUMMER PRUNING.

SeasonabIe Suggestions For Use Of
Knife on Weak and Declining Plants.
Summer pruning is the best for
shade trees. Use the pruning knife

By cutting back the heads of young

on limb; ragged wound is usually
the result of so doing. =
When planting shrubs cut back the
branches one half, to balance the root
system. To produce low headed

and cut back the top to eighteen or

Do not depend on winter pruning to
keep normal shrubs in shape, says Su-
burban Life. They will never look
well. Prune two or three times during
the summer a. Y
Remember that summer pruning in
duces fruit bearing, while winter prun-
ing encourages a heavy growth Of
wood. Summer pruning should be
light, however, and pruning in winter
is often necessary In any case. 81
It is much better to cut away a little
wood each year than large amount
occasionally. Begin when the tree is
young, and you can shape it any way
that you desire. Remember that a low
headed tree is easier to spray and east
er to pick the fruit from than one
whose branches are high in the air.

Evelyn. having returned her engage

purpose, when it occurred to her that
she would like to keep one of them.
What should she retain?
Why, Pete.
She caressed his brindled coat, and
a strange lump came into her throat
as his pink tongue licked her little,
ringless hand. Then she sat up and
blinked back the brightness to her eyes
and completed her task.
She wondered if Richard would come
tonight. No; he would sulk one day,
and then tomorrow evening be would
come.
The next day Evelyn shopped and
lunched and called with exceeding dill
fgence. Late in the afternoon she slip

own sitting room. There were no let

In the evening Mr.. Hallam was an

Her soul sang with joy; but, coquette

HANDLING GRAPEVINES.

Don't Allow Them to Grow at Ran.
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 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 a.sz %. .s.s s
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
