some tree, where 1t necessitates only
the cutting of thin branch, prefer
this plan; provided, Of course, they
are within reach of my ladder. have
found 1t to be an excellent plan, and
consequently have practiced II for
many years, to spray swarm lightly
with cold water before hiving. Water
seems to be very refreshing and
soothing to the bees during the heat
of the excited swarming fever, and
will often cause the bees to remain
hanging until evening. when II Is more
convenient to hive them. BY taking
pruning shears and clipping of the
branch gently they may be carried to
the hive. When they are shaken in
front Of it they will readily crawl into
II and assume possession. Newly
hived swarms should be shaded for q
few days and the hive entrance en-
larged to supply sufficient ventilation
The section, boxes should be trans
ferred from the parent hive to the one
containing the newly hived swarm,
which now has almost all of the field
bees. The parent hive being so de-
pleted will have no further use for sec
tons for a month or more.
After the prime swarms issues put
it on the old stand, setting the other
colony close beside it. In five to sew
en- days remove the mother colony to
a new location and the field bees will
desert it and join the swarm. The de-
pletion and the fact that no honey Is
coming in discourage any idea of fur
ther swarming. The prevention OF
swarming in the production of extract
ed honey is not a very difficult
matter, as the putting on of up
per stories not only keeps down
swarming but secures the crop,
all In one operation. 1t all hinges on
the one essential, large hives. OF
course, / keep the entrance wide open
during the warm season, and If the
bees still show signs of being crowd
ed by hanging out during the heat OF
the day | raise up the back end OF
the cover, and this gives such draf'
through the hive that they will usual
ly go in. Do not let your bees hang
out during the honey season; aftel
the season closes they will usually
cluster on the outside of the hive II
large quantities, II the weather still
keeps warm, but as the swarming sea
son closes with the honey season
there will be no swarming. Plenty
Of comb space must at All times b'
available for the bees to store theil
honey This condition is secured witt
a ten-frame upper story filled will
combs of the Langstroth size.

How TO Prevent swarmine.

There are several conditions upon
which the issuing of swarms hinge.
The first and most important factor is
present honey flow; another is
multitude of bees. Excessive heat
and a crowded hive are also incentives
to induce swarming, and will hasten
the exodus. Now, in order to retard
or discourage swarming we must meet
these conditions. The method that |
have been practicing is to furnish
each colony of bees an extra hive OF
empty combs-that is, at the approach
of swarming time, or week or TWO
after the section boxes have been
placed on top of the hive proper, l
slip an extra hive body of empty
combs under each hive and close the
upper entrance, compelling the bees
to take possession of the extra set OF
combs. This gives a double brood
nest for the queen to supply with
eggs. This has proved with me to be
only a partial success. About one
half of the colonies swarm notwith-
standing. But nevertheless the plan
is a good one, my average yield ex
ceeding that by any previously tried
method. might say that the col
onies which had no thought of swarm
ing stored the most surplus honey, one
colony reaching 180 pounds; but with
regard to those which did swarm, the
swarms were necessarily extra large
ones on account of the double brook
nest, and, of course. issued few
weeks later, but gave excellent re
| suits.

INTERPRETER
BADLY NEEDED,
Punctuation and Its Misuse by
a Youthful Student.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief Of the
bureau of chemistry in the department
Of agriculture, has interpreted many
avs affecting pure foods and drugs
and has had some of his opinions re-
yersed by the department of justice
and the president.
He was discussing this one day when
he said:
The matter of interpreting laws is
much like the story Of the little boy
who was told by his teacher to read
something from a primer. The boy
read as follows:
"'This is a warm doughnut. Step
on it,
"'Why, Johnny said the teacher,
that can't be right Let me see your
book
This is the sentence she found:
"'This is a worm. Do not step on
it,
That's very much like the interpre-
tation Of the laws Of nowadays. You
can interpret the statutes in several
ways, according to the angle from
which you view them AS for me,

WALL PAPER Tackled ON.
When Tacks May Be Preferable 10
Paste and How the Tackine hs Done.

"You never heard of tacking on
wall paper? Oh. dear. yes" said
MIR. Flatdweller, eve often do that
We don't put the paper on with tacks
originally, but we tack it on in max
ing repairs.
"You know how the paper curls
away from the wall sometimes, stif
and hard with the paste on it? Some
times if it's left that way pieces Of
the hard paper may be broken off.
Well. you couldn't very well paste
that paper down again, because you
couldn't make any paste strong
enough to take out the curl and make
the paper hold. you might not make
nice Job of 1t around the joints, might
get on too much paste and so get
some of 1t on the outside of the paper.
So we Just tack down the curled up
paper and tack on the pieces that
may have fallen off.
But don't the tack heads show IN
the paper? No. not at all, not-ahem!
as we do the tacking. That's where
the fine art of tacking on paper, as
we practice it, comes in. There's a
pattern on the paper and sure to be
here and there more or less dark
places in the coloring and we simply
drive the tacks in the dark spots,
where they don't show"

The Ancient Brahmins.

The Brahmins were the lawyers.
priests. professors, the sole instructed
class. the sole authorities on taste,

ever stood in the place of science.
Everybody was to minister unto them,
everybody to give way to them. The
Brahmin was above the law. He was
mot to be subjected to corporal pun
ishment. must not be imprisoned, or
fined, or exiled, or reviled.' In the
law Of the Vishnu it was written:
"The Brahmins sustain the world. 1t
is by the favor OF the Brahmins that
the gods reside in heaven" Under
English rule and ideas the ancient
cast has lost some of its prestige, but
is st.ll forcible reminder of its form
er grandeur.
