TO INTRODUCE A QUEEN BEE
Cages Are Detailed-Used as
Cell Protectors.

CBy JOSEPH GRAY, Long Eaton. Eng
land)
l use Potts queen-cages, which can
also be used as ceII-protectors or nur-
series. The difference between these
and the regular Benton cages are:
l. The candy-hole is made from the
end, using only a half-inch bit
2. A half-inch hole is made through
the side into the center compart-
ment
8. The top and side covers are of
perforated metal, and cut SO that they
do not catch the clothing.
4. These covers are put on with a
screw, which serves as a hinge, and
can be frightened with one turn of the
screwdriver, so that the imprisoned
bees cannot force open the doors and
escape, which l have seen them do
when laid down temporarily.
The convenience and advantage of
these cages will be readily seen in the
following operations:
Go to your nucleus colony and pick
up the comb with the queen; grasp 1t
with the left hand, also hold your
queen cage with the same hand, your
thumb over the opened side door.
Now with the right hand pick off your
queen and she will easily pass
through the half-inch door A three
eighth or quarter inch is not nearly
so convenient. You can cage as many
bees as you wish, with seldom a sting.
The covers are so cut that they will
not catch the clothing and pull open
on the way to the out-apiary.

LIahtina the Farm House.

With the increasing education OF
farmers children and the increasing
intellectual and social life in farm
homes the use of artificial light in
farm homes is increasing. and the
money economy, but more the SAM
tary economy, of artificial lighting is
of increasing Importance. Nor may
the aesthetic element, the effect on
life Of attractive lighting, be left un
considered.
All kerosene lights without mantle
are very unlike daylight, hard on the

HANDY DEVICE FOR LIFTING
Portable Hay Derrick Is Excellent for

By CHARLES G. MENTOoNE)

This is a portable hay derrick which

loading shocks of fodder on to a wag-

Placed on runners, it can be hauled
along the row Of shocks and with
its use one man can load as much

Poor children are often misunderstood

trouble is a physical ailment and they need

said Judge Howard Kennedy Friday.
The Judge had before him, as he spoke
a report from one OF the busiest eye spe-
cialists Of the city. The report said that
a certain boy, for a long time considered
lncorrlgible. was suffering from an agra
waited eye trouble which made II physically
impossible for him to study. Also before
him the Judge had a note from a school
teacher saying the boy in question had not
brought the pT~oer report to her and that
he could not come 20 school until he had.
What was the boy TO do?
He did not know what was the matter
with him. lie only knew that he could not
stay in school He knew better than any
one else that It hurt his eyes to try TO
Study. True he promised the Judge to 20

There seems 10 have been striking in
crease OF interest in the election among
the voters in these precincts At the last
election.
Attack has been made on the investiga-
ton In general because the census figures
on the number of voters in the Tn rd ward
do not bear out to the letter the statement
made In the message OF the governor, that
apparently three times as many votes had
been cast as there were voters I'm the ward.
To condemn the investigation and seek
to refute the charges made on this score
Ia as futile as the plea OF certain de
PENDANT embezzler who declared he did
not take all the money he was charged
with having stolen, and therefore main
tained he was not guilty.
THE statement OF the indications OF
fraud In the Omaha elections is to be
taken ps an Indictment. It Is customary
to make the allegations broad enough to
cover the case. That one count is not
proven does not argue the innocence Of the
defendant"

Severe on Motorists.

Switzerland has long been noted for
its rather severe regulations affecting
automobiles. especially with regard to
the crossing Of mountain passes. The
most drastic restrictions, however,
have recently been enacted In the Can.
ton Of Unterwalden. In this section
the running Of automobiles on Sunday
has been entirely prohibited, and even
on the other days of the week they
may not be run before eight o'clock in
the morning or after six o'clock at
night.
Automobiles In Unterwalden are al
so required to stop at designated
points along the highways. for the pay.
ment of toll of two francs. The
speed limit has been placed at thirty
kilometres. about eighteen and half
miles per hour.

first appearance of organic life on the
earth. They attacked vegetable tbs.
