(By +. G.. HERMAN.)

In considering the requisites for
cessful bee wintering, 1t may be well
to note that success is frequently
hinged upon very small things. The
neglect in attending to the small af-
fairs of life is sure to bring about dis
aster.
Bees starve to death with honey
In the hives, and sometimes that with
in two inches Of them, from the fact
that during cold weather bees form
themselves into one compact body,
and when all the honey is consumed
within their reach, unless the weather
Is warm enough for them to change
their location from one pa,S OF the
hive to another, in order 50 reach
their stores, they will surely starve
with plenty Of feed near them.
This is usually the case with single
walled hives, hence the option of chaff
hives to confine the heat arising from
the bees. Bees usually move toward
the warmer part of the hive. If the
sun shines on one side of the hive in
cool or cold weather, the cluster goes
to that side. l have often had col
onies eat out all the honey in one end
of the hive, and leave the other end
full.
As to passageways through the
combs, there is a difference of opinion.
However, my experience leads me to
conclude that they are unnecessary.
1t is true that they afford an oppor-
tunity for an outer portion of the clus-
ter to reach an adjacent inner comb
space If the bees happen to be To-
Gated directly over the passageway
and the weather is warm, otherwise
they serve no purpose.
I have settled down for my own
part on using a wooden blanket or
carpet cover, and on top of it, porus
and absorbent material such as saw
dust, chaff, cut straw and leaves.
The wooden material next the bees
conveys the moisture to the other side
of the piece of blanket or carpet
where contact with with the absorbent
material causes it to pass upward, so
rendering it harmless to the bees.
| suppose there is the slightest pos
sible upward ventilation, sort of
slow percolation of air and moisture,
but it works well, provided the en-
trance of the hive is not too narrow
and contracted.

Wedding gifts are sent to a bride

Mere visiting acquaintances Of the
families or the couple about to be wed
do well to wait and see whether they
are asked to a wedding before for
warding any presents. This course is
not prompted by cold calculation, but
by genuine delicacy. AS soon as the
person thus in doubt receives card
a pleasant assurance is given, and the
gift may then be forwarded.
When wedding cards extending an
invitation to witness merely the mar
riage ceremony are received by one
who acknowledges only the most for

Foelker was on the stand again In

Frank J. Gardner, who is accused Of
having offered the Brooklyn solon n
bribe OF $4,000. He admitted, when
cross-examined by Max Steuer, courl-

him, he failed to report the matter
to the senate.
