s'ages, and that the honey flow is
we'll begun, as is now the case, both
.nte. icr and exterior conditions
IRE favorable to swarmflg and it is
time TO begin active operations.
Examine each colony carefully for
queen cells containing eggs or lar
lae. Having iowad one that has thus
given notice of it's intention to
swarm, proceed as follows:
Open the hive quietly and with
as little smoke as possible Find
md set it at one side in a shady
place and out of the wind. Close the
hiye and by drumming and smoking
cause the bees to gorge themselves
with honey Move the hive to the
rear and place a new hive, contain
lng only starters, in the frames on
the old stand. The super, contain
.ng sections filled with full sheet
OF foundation, should also be in
place, with a queeng excluder be
tween it and the brood chamber.
The excluder should be removed in
two or three days.
Shake three-fourths to seven
eighths of the bees, including the
frame containing the queen, in front
of the new hive and run them in
as is done in natural swarming. The
queen should be caught and placed
in the entrance after the brood
bees have begun to run in. The
right proportion of bees to leave
with the brood depends upon the
weather and must be determined by
the judgement of the apiarist. If IN
crease is desired, remove the old
hive containing the brood to a
new stand several feet away, and
insert a ripe cell or give a laying
queen. II no increase is desired,
place the old hive by the new one,
but at right angles to it. The next
time the apiary is visited, shake
again and move the old hive to the
at right angles.
Repeat this process for three
weeks when all the brood will have
hatched. The combs may then be
disposed of TO the best advantage of
the apairist and any honey remain
ing in them may be extracted. TIL
question whether or not it is an ad-
vantage to put a comb of unsealed
rood IN the new hive, is much
mooted one, upon which the doctors
disagree. 1t has been done without
disastrous results. The new hive
should be contracted according to
the size of the swarm so as to force
the bulk of the bees into the super
at once Contraction will also dis
courage building of the drone comb
in the brood chamber. The best hive
to use in this connection is the
Heddon or some other hive en-
ploying the shallow brood chamber

rational contraction and forces the
swarm aboye-Field and Farm.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
HOW A COWARD REDEEMED
HIMSELF.
BY A. w. MACY.

Charles Calender was captain
of an artillery company at the
battle of Bunker Hill. There
was some criticism of his de-
pertinent during the battle, and
he was cashiered for alleged
cowardice and disobedence. He
was dismissed "fror1 all further
service in the Continental army
as an officer" But he could not
havs been very cowardIy at
heart, for he determined to wipe
out the stain on his record. He
remained in the army as a pri-
vate, faithfully performed his
duties as a common soldier, and
watched for his opportunity. II
came at the battle of Long Is
land. The captain and lieuten-
ant of his company were
killed. He assumed COM
mand and fought his guns
with great bravery to the last.
He was about to be bayoneted
by a British soldier when an
English officer, admirins his
courage, intervened and saved
his life. He was taken captive
and remained a prisoner in the
hands of the British for more
than year. After his escape
and return, Washington ordered
his former record espunsed and
restored him to his command.
At the close of the war he was
mustered out OF service ''with
the highest honor and reputa-
tion."

TOWN CLERKS RECORDS
About Half Of the Officials Have
Compiled with Law.


Montpelier, Jan. 22.-About half
the records of town clerks of the
State relating to births, deaths. and
marriages have been forwarded to
the office of the secretary OF state
in this city in compliance with the
legislative enactment OF 1910 re-
curing town clerks in all towns OF
the State to make returns to the sec
rotary of state of vital statistics not
hitherto reported. The present regis
tration law did not go into effect I'M
| I'll 1857.
The act as passed provides that
"as soon as practicable after the pas
sage of this act, the secretary OF
state shall ascertain from what
towns and for what years returns OF
births, marriages, and deaths have
not been made TO the State, or are
not to be found among the archives
OF his office, and shall convey this
information to the clerks of such
towns, together with suitable blanks
upon which to make returns"
All returns are filed and indexed
so as to be made readily available
Tor reference and when needed for
any legal purpose the secretary OF
state is required to furnish certified
copies free. The town clerk receiv-
es five CENTS for each record trans
cribed, certified and transmitted UNI
der the act.
A vast amount of labor is involved
in the work OF the Office of the sec
rotary Of state after the records
are returned and In some cases, rec
ords of towns have been lost in fires
or destroyed from other cause. The
completed work, however, will be OF
great importance to the State as a
matter OF filed information, ready at
hand when required for any cause.
