RAISING QUEEN BEES

Queen and These Come From
Two Kinds Of Eoos.

America leads the world In the pro
duction of queen bees. One Ohio mar
alone rears about $500 every year and
sells them In every part Of the world
While It is generally supposed that the
most profitable bees are raised In
Italy. the truth 10 that the finest speci
mems Of Italian queens are produced
In America.
The scientific bee breeder has found
. way to outwit bse colonies in their
natural method Of producing queens
and can now produce a. many of these
royal insects as can be disposed OF.
In their natural condition bees will
permit only one queen in . hive, but
feeders. by feeding artificial muceli
are able to produce any number.
Every hive has three kinds of bees
workers, drones and the queen, and
these are produced from two kinds OF
eggs. Unfertilized eggs produce moth,
ing but drones while the fertilized
egg will produce either q worker or
a queen, depending on whether the
larvae is fed on royal jelly preserved
for queens or upon the common food
which makes the workers.
The larvae produced in a queen s
cell is fed the royal jelly, and develops
all the qualities of the queen. Here

All traces of the rotten wood of
the old sill should be removed and
the dust and dry mortar brushed out
before the form is put in place. There
should be an inch piece nailed around
the edge or the form, in line with
where the edge Of the sill is to be.
This holds the board an inch away
from the wall and which gives the
required extention to the sill. The
inside form, that inside of the room,
this should be half inch above the
one on the outside; this will give the
fall necessary to keep the rain and
snow from leaking into the room.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
tion is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels
must be kept active. This is impor-
tant at all ages, but never so much
as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. But lash can't be
used every day. What the bowels OF
the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only
