couple Of sticks until about two
thirds Of the bees pass up into
the box. Gently lift off the box
containing the bees and dump it
in frontof the entrance of the
new hive. Make sure that the
queen is among them, by watch
ing her, as she passes with the
rest into the entrance. Ii you
do not discover her, look inside
the hive. If you still fail to find
her, drum out bees from the old
hive again until you do get her,
for, to make the plan a success,
she must be in the new hive.
Return to the box hive and
turn it right side up and set it
down a couple Of feet back of
the new one with it's entrance
turned at right angles. You now
have in the hive about one third
Of the original colony, the comb
and oil the brook. Allow the
old hive to stand for at least FL
DAYS, at the end of which time
the brood will be Matched ont,
with the exception of little
drone brood, which will be of no
value. Turn the old hive up.
side down and drum the bees out
again into the hiving box. Put
an entrance guard of perforated
zinc over the entrance Of the
new hive, smoke the bees Of the
new hive and then those in the
hiving box, after which dump
1t ia front of the entrance of the
new hive, as before. The smok.
ing is to prevent the fighting on
the part of the bees at the Sec
ond drive and the entrance guard
is to catch the queen, or queens,
that have been raised in the
meantime in the old hive. These
one or two, if virgins, should be
caught on the perforated metal
and given to some queenly
stocks. If the old queen in the
new hive is a valuable one, she
should be Gagged at the time of
making the second drive. If
neither queen (the one in the
old hive or new one) is valuable,
The perforated zinc need not be
used.
The job Of transferring is now
completed, and all you have on
hand is an old box hive, contain
ing a lot of old crooked combs,
with perhaps a little honey and
drone comb in it. The honey
can be extracted, or used as
chunk honey on the table, if fit
for use, the rest can be melted
up into wax, and the hive itself
will make first class kindling
wood, because it is smeared over
on the inside with propolis and
bits of wax.
All transferring by the novice
should be at the beginning Of,
or during the honey flow.

Farmers Letter.
BY CAPT. T. F. PECK

Dee-Keeper snouIQ pc making MS
preparations for the honey har-
vest. Extra hives should be
purchased, nailed together and
painted, ready for the swafms as
they come off. All frames should
be wired and filled with full
sheets Of foundation. See that
the smoker is in good repair, and
that the bee veil has no holes in
it. Don't wait until the honey
flow 10 on and the swarms are
coming off before you wake up
and find yourself not ready.
Such neglect will mean the loss
of swarms, honey, dollars and
interest in a most profitable in
dustry.
All the hives should be gone
into and carefully examined.
See that each one has q good
queen, whose wings are clipped
and that there is plenty Of stores
to care for the brood during the
early spring weeks. Should the
stores be exhausted or light,
feed a thin syrup Of sugar and
water two or three times week
".
But of all work In the early
spring there is none Of more i'm
portance than the transferring of
all swarms or colonies from the
fashioned hive OF gums" to
the modern nova BILE. frame hive.
Don't try to keep bees in the old
gums. I" They are not only I'm
profitable, but a positive menace
to aggressive Bookkeeping. They
are harboring places for moths
and the foul brood diseases.
They are unsightly and prevent
that hive manipulation that is
necessary for the best honey har-
vest. ! know that good honey is
some times obtained from these
homemade boxes, but oftener it
is black honey, mixed with bee
bread, worms, (lava), and dead
bees. Who wants the mixture?
For it there is no market, and
the bees themselves are usually
left so disturbed, robbed and de-
pleted in stores and brood that
they either perish or do no good.
In great majority of instances
you get nothing at all, and not
being able to look into the hives
to give them intelligent atten.
ton, the bees finally die. Who
is to blame for all of this, but
the careless, Indifferent, old
fashioned bee.keeper. TRANS
FER, Mr.. Bee.keeper, TRANSFER.
There are several methods Of
transferring; each has its advan-
tages and disadvantages. The
master bee.keeper will follow
the method that best suits his
location, time of the season,
kind Of box transferring from,

The following method as print.

in Bee Culture" ia a good all
round method for the novice:
The fashioned way was to

cut out the combs and fit them,

frames. This takes great deal
Of time, and at best it is a
sticky, mussy job, to say nothing

and finally the result is a lot of

combs in box hives are usually

many drone cells that it will be

be signed and forwarded to President
elect Wilson, urging him to appoint
a western man as secretary of the
interior, and Furthermore urging him
to appoint either former Governor
Hawley of Idaho. Governor Norris OF
Montana. Joseph N Teal of Portland
or Clay Tallman of Nevada
Cooperation Necessary.
When the prominent democrats in
the west became candidates for this
appointment and all began filing in
dorsements and recommendations, il
occurred to Senator Perky that un-
less there was concentration on a few
good men. Wilson might consistently
pass up the claims of the west and
pick secretary of interior from some
other section. He therefore prevailed
upon other Democratic senator's from
ter to Governor Wilson, submitting
the names of four good democrats,
any one of whom would be generally
acceptable, and urging Wilson to make
his selection from among the men
named by them.
Select Four Men.
After much deliberation it was con-
oil
the best equipped of all the candi-
dates for this office, and the sena-
tors in their letter to Governor Will
son tomorrow will inform him that
the appointment of any one of the
four will be agreeable to them and
well received by the western people.
While each senator naturally has
his first choice, it is believed this let
ter will narrow down the contestants
II four men, if a western man is to be
appointed. and Senator Perky is salts
fled that this united action will great
ly enhance the prospects for the ap-
pointment of Governor Hawley, who
is already strongly indorsed for this
office. The joint letter, of course
gives each man named equal indorse-
ment, and leaves the selection to Gov
ernor Wilson. Senator Perky be-
leves Governor Hawley by reason OF
this letter. will be much nearer a
cabinet appointment than ever before

II men were insecta the schemes of So

In the insect world the ind vidual is

structure to do n definite work They do
il. They never think of doing anything
else.
Make an ant as wise as a Newton, and

Is liberty to do the one kind of work for

nance means disaster
With mankind. change IS the law OF

There are strong tactical reasons
against dividing our naval strength by

The Too Good -Aliti.
from tn. Chicago Journai.


There is no defense SO familiar to Grim
inal cour.s as the alibi proof that the &C
cused was not near the scene of a crime
when that crime was committed There is
no defense more satisfactory-eXcept
when it is too good A too good alibi is
one of the most suspicious things on
earth.
When an accused man brings witnesses
who swear to his whereabouts for each
minute of the period in question the jury
begins to doubt. The foreman of the jury
cannot prove where he was at the same
time with that much assurance. Proba-
bly,. the Judge cannot How does the &C.
cused man happen to have that proof
which others lack? Are his witnesses ly-
ing, or was the crime committed earlier
than the state thinks, and Is the alibi a
plant?
Honest men, going unthinkingly about
honest business. can seldom prove their
ereabouts minute by minute. The fell
low who knows the need of an alibi has
one ready.
