President Taft to Southern Youths.

In a notable speech at the closing session Of the Southern Commercial Congress, at Atlanta, last Friday eVen- ing, President Taft made plea to the young men of the New South to take up the political issues oi the day from q broad and liberal point of view and 10 eliminate from their consideration all narrow perlisanship and sectional ism.
 "Come fully into our national com munion, said the President, {" with the patriotic purpose of stimulating the progress of our civilization in every right direction, maintaining our eoun- try's prosperity and accommodating it's wealth, but always in Subordination 10 higher ethical standards and to the promotion of righteousness and jus tice."
 MT. Taft begun his speech with a tribute to the progress of the South in industry and education. He said in 1 part:
 "The growth of the South in wealth, in educat:on, in civil oruer and in civ. ] iiization, has contributed greatly to the growth of the country. By making a ! greater South you have made a greater i country.
 "ln the spirit of proper exultation over your industrial and agricultural 1 successes, you, representatives of the l Southern States, gather in eonVen- ] ton like this te devise new ways and means for the development of your commerce, for the increase of your ma | nufactures and for the promotion of better farming. l congratulate you on | what you have done. congratulate | you on your prospects. There is not
 the slightest tinge of jealousy or envy of your good condition on the part of l the Northern andi Western manufae- | turerS or farmers. They rejoice with ! you in your success and in progress 1 more rapid than theirs.

 Don't set the hives in neat rows. with the entrances all facing one way They can be placed in pairs. but the pairs should be scattered as widely as possible. This is an important point. but if would take page to explain all the why's.
 It is well to open up and ventilate the bee cellar occasionally for an hour or two after dark and to sweep and gather up any dead bees that may have accumulated ou the cellar floor
 Why be content with ten or twenty pounds of surplus honey per hive when a little careful manipulation will mean seventy five CT even 100 pounds from every prosperous colony in good season?
