GETTING RID OF
LAYING WORKERS
Plan Given as Result of Many
Experiments in the Past
Two or Three Years.

1t is not difficult to cure colony OF
laying workers If they are taken soon
after they have begun their work
that is, within four or five days after
the first eggs have appeared. a
couple of frames of young brood, with
the adhering bees, are given, queen
cells will almost invariably be started.
1t is well not to allow these to hatch,
for the queen will almost certainly be
inferior, so they may be replaced
at,sr two or three days by a ripe cell.
A queen will often be accepted at this
stage. but have found introduction
risky.
But when the laying workers have
been allowed to go for ten days or
more. so that the combs are filled
with drone brood in all sorts OF scat
tering stages. cure may be said to
be impossible. 80 far as making the
colony OF any use within a reasonable
time. Under these circumstances the
bees will seldom accept a queen II
offered in any usual way. and the
combs are too full OF worthless brood
any way to allow a queen to lay,
The result OF a good many expert
ments In the past two years has led
me to fix on the following plan, which
has never yet failed me- A twoframe
nucleus is made from normal colony.
and queen introduced, or very
weak colony may be used instead of
this nucleus, II there is one which
needs strengthening. The laying
worker colony is set on bee-escape
board over the nucleus. That is all.
In the course OF four or five days,
four-ffths of the abnormal bees will
have gone down, one by one, and will
have united themselves quietly with
the nucleus. The few bees left above
have always fancied to be the laying
workers themselves; but they do no
harm II knocked out on the grass.
The sealed drone brood is then un-
capped, and left to chill over night.
II may then be given back to the
bees. which will clean out the dead
larvae.

Some farmers think that fall is the

is generally preferable. because It can
be done at a time when there is not

Speaking of waists, we must note
that the small waist is decidedly out
of fashion. 1t is this fact that has
brought about the tremendous vogue
of sashes. They do not define the
waist line, they conceal it. Their pur-
pose is to belong to the figure above
and below the waist and to ignore the
waist line so far as defining 1t is con-
cerned. They show a great advance

the sash is the thing you can't leave

choosing a sash and finish by buying
a gown to go with it.
There is nothing haphazard about
all this. The sashes designed for
wear with cloth-gowns and those de-
signed for gowns of filmy materials
differ quite as much as the fabrics
they are to go with. Also, the per

Andrews home regularly much to the
discomfort Of poor Nellie.
Her father saw his opportunity and
proceeded to talk business TO Benton.
On the assumption that he was fav-
ored heir Of old Jared Jones, the
young spendthrift secured an option
on a residence at the outskirts OF the
town.
'I'll make It over TO Nellie the day
she is my Wife" pledged Benton.
AS to Nellie herself she tried TO give
her persistent suitor to understand
that her heart could never be his.

engagement for the present and Ben
ton was so obtuse that he attributed
all this to conventional maidenly
modesty.
The months rolled away. Once in
awhile Nellie met Rolfe casually
Once week letters expressing their
mutual love passed between them.
Rolfe was working hard. Il was a
great day for his ambitious soul when
he found the last debt of the store

ly instalments to Benton.

Yesterday wired Uncle Jared for an

"And what about Nellie?' inquired
Rolfe.
"Oh. that's all Off now. Of course"
announced Benton. 81 think she put
me off foreseeing what a fool I'd
make of myself. After all my big
ideas and boastfulness I'll never dare
to look her in the face again"
And then Rolfe Wilson felt so sor.

that he offered him a one-half interest
in the little business IL he would get
down to earth again and work as he
used to do and Benton felt as CRATE

That was not all Of it. One day
Uncle Jared appeared at the little
store and disclosed himself.
II think you were silly in giving
away half your business to a spend

you're good all through. From what
