pockets of the coat the two boys alb
stracted several tickets, and when
Harolds mother found 1t out she made
him return the tickets and explained
the sin which he had committed,
warning him to pray t.at he be for
given that night. He obeyed, and
while on his knees added prayer for
Dewey as we'll.
The next night Harolds mother was
in the next room when he said his
prayers, and she heard him ask God to
forgive Dewey for stealing piece of
cake. On the following evening he
again was moved to ask forgiveness
for his friend, this time for stealing
three pieces Of candy. Apparently his
patience was exhausted, for the next
evening his mother was In the adjoin-

prayer, and this Is what she heard:

SUCCESS IN BEE MANAGEMENT
Profit Not Now Measured by Increase
BY swarmlng az Formerly
Various Methods.

by ID. F. PHILLIPS, PHI. d.
The excessive rearing of brood at
the wrong season or increase in the
number of colonies greatly reduces
the surplus honey crop by consump-
ton. The ideal to which all progress
sive bee keepers work, when operat-
ing simply for honey, is to stimulate
brood rearing to prepare bees for
gathering, to retard breeding when
1t is less desirable, and to prevent
swarming. Very few succeed in en-.
tirely preventing swarming, but by va
rious methods the situation can be
largely controlled.
When a swarm issues, it usually first
settles on limb of tree or bush near
the apiary. 1t was formerly common
to make noise by beating pans or
ringing bells in the belief that this
causes the swarm to settle. There Is
no foundation for such action on the
part Of the bee keeper. II the bees
light on small limb that can be
spared, 1t may simply be sawed of
and the bees carried to the hive and
thrown on sheet or hive cover in
front of the entrance. If the limb
cannot be cut, the swarm can be
shaken of into box or basket on
pole and hived. II the bees light on
the trunk of a tree or in some mac
cessible place, they can first be at
tracted away by comb, preferably
containing unsealed brood. In these
manipulations 1t is not necessary to
get all the bees, but If the queen Is
not with those which are put in the
hive the bees will go into the air
again and join the cluster.
1t Is desirable early in the season,
before any preparations are made for

not fly and the bees can be easily re-
turned to the old stand. This should
be done before the hive becomes too
populous. 1t is perhaps best to clip
queens as they are introduced, but
some colonies may rear new ones
without the knowledge of the owner,
and spring examination will insure
no escaping swarms.
When clipping the queens wing is
not practiced, swarms may be pre-
vented from leaving by the use of
queen traps Of perforated zinc. These
allow the workers to pass out, but not
drones or queens. which, on leaving
the entrance. pass up to an upper
compartment from which they cannot
return. These are also used for keep
Ing undesirable drones from escaping,
and the drones die of starvation.
Queens sometimes die during the
winter and early spring, and since
there Is no brood from which the bees
can replace them. the queenless colo
MES are "hopelessly queenless." Bee
keepers in the north can frequently
buy queens from southern breeders
early in the spring, and naturally this
is better than leaving the colony with
out queen until the bees can rear
one, as 1t Is important that there be
no stOppage in brood rearing at this
season.

When Webster Smith placed his
sign outside the door Of the cottage
he had chosen for an office and liv.

The first step In his career had been
taken.
Smith was a lawyer. An indulgent
parent, leading member Of the bar
Of nearby city, was responsible for
Smiths residence in the suburban vii
lage.
What the deuce will they want Of
lawyer out there, dad?" he had
asked his father.

reply. I'VE are overrun with budding
lights and diploma-bred attorneys

ever heard of a lawyer named Smith
and let's see what's in you"
So the newly admitted member OF
the bar had come to the little place,
more to satisfy his father than to
practise the arts of one Blackstone.
Blairville had never had full

was Squire Brown, a kindly old mag
