Bees starve to death with honey

that during cold weather bees form
themselves into one compact body,
and when all the honey is consumed

Is warm enough for them to change
their location from one part of the
hive to another. In order to reach
their stores, they win surely starve
with plenty OF feed near them.
This is usually the case with single

hives to conflne the heat arising from
the bees. Bees usually move toward
the warmer part of the hive. II the

Take a stout piece of wire with
hook on the end. and rake out the
dead bees. When frost forms about
the inside of the hive. the vapor from
the bees, together with the CONCEAL
ing of It in the remote parts of the

to the surface of the combs, which
by the inexperienced is often mistak-
en- for mold
The bees also must be kept dry. A
substantial hive, with tight roof,
will keep out the rain.
A few'inches of dry. porous material,
such as chaff or ground cork packed
between the cluster and the roof, will
have a good effect on keeping the bees
comfortable. allowing the moisture to
pass OF slowly.
A draught would be injurious. We
advise a wind-break of some sort ON
the north and west sides of the hives.
Also guard against the mice, and have
the hive entrances shallow and long.
rather than round.
DO not neglect the bees; see to II
that they have food enough and to
spare. Bees differ from other farm
stock In this respect. that they can
be given their full supply of food at
once and they will help themselves
as their need requires. Plenty of
good fcod above the cluster is what
takes them through every time.

Taylor Frye, former sehooImaster

OF the state Industrial commission

ing that the new truancy law is en-
forced. Mr.. Frye says tTuancy will be
reduced to the lowest possible mimi
mum in Wisconsin. Those who know
Mr.. Frye accept his declaration with
out question.
The laws require that children be
tween the ages of seven and fourteen
years and those between fourteen and
sixteen years of age who are not regu-
larly and lawfully employed shall be-
come enrolled In and regularly attend
some public, private or parochiaI
school as follows:
Milwaukee. during the entire school
year; In other cities, eight months:
In towns and villages, six months. The
law further provides that cities OF
1000 or more inhabitants shall ap-
point one or more truancy officers.
For towns. cities or villages of less
than 1900 population the sheriff and
his deputies are made truancy Off
GERS. 1t is the duty Of the school
principals and teachers TO compare
the school enrolment with the school
census reports for the purpose of as
pertaining what children are delin-
quents and to furnish list of truant
children, together with list of the
names and addresses OF their parents
to the proper truancy officers. Super
intendents are further required to
report names of delinquents each
month to the state industrial commits
sion.
Upon receipt of the names of truant
children the truancy officers must
notify the persons in control of such
children TO send them To school within
FIVE days of the receipt of the notice
If this notice is UNDECIDED that fact
must be reported TO the industrial
commission by the truancy officer. who
must then bring action against the
parent or other person in control OF
the child for violation of the law. such
action to be prosecuted by the dis.

ty board had field day at the expense
Of the new state statute. Similar at
tacks on the law were made in the La
Crosse. Trempealeau and Vernon coun-
ty boards last week. Under the law
the state pays one-third the cost of Inn
proving country roads and the town
and county each third, but the state
declares the board collects its proper
ton by levying a tax upon the county
in exactly the same amount that 1t
pays back. so that each county really

representatives OF leading manufactur-
ing concerns on the new apprentice
law. The meeting was held In the
rooms of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' association. Theodore G. VII

The Law provides that boys may be
employed as apprentices. The boys
are not to work more than fifty.hve
hours a week and must be given five
hours of to attend an Industrial
school Most OF the conferees were In
favor of the apprentice plan Of train
ing boys in the trades. but they desired
that the terms Of the law be defined
by the commission on several points.
For instance. the law does not spe-
city whether the Ave hours of shall
be continuous or shall be In the way
OF an hour a day for fiye dayR, Then
in regard TO the proposition ca giving
a boy three months probatios TO de-
eide Just what trade be wishes TO pur-
sue, the employers wanted to know
whether these three months we're to
be counted in the time Of the appren-
ticeship or not.

mission said that these questions and
others will be formally passed upon
later by the commission.
