QUEEN BEE AND
HOW TO FIND HER
It Is Her Sole Duty to Lay Eggs,
Her Nourishment Being Sup
piled by Workers.
CBy r. c.. HERMANN

In every colony Of bees, whether it
be located in skep, the hollow Of q
tree, or i'll a modern hive, there will be
found at some time Of the year three
kinds of bees-queen, drones and
workers. The queen is the most i'm
pcrtant bee in the hive. She is the
egg-layer, and as such is the mother
of the bees in the hive, whether they
are workers, drones or queens. Only
one queen is, under ordinary circum-
stances, found in hive but occasion
ally tWo-mOther and daughter-are
for time living together. The queens
sole duty being to lay eggs she has
no other cares to claim her attention,
in fact she does not even attend to
her own food supply. The nourish
ment needed to keep up the extraor-
binary egg-laying power she posses
ses, is supplied by the aworker-bees
which are for the first fortnight of
their existence what may be termed
nurse-bees If q comb be taken out Of
a movable hive quietly and without
disturbing the bees, the queen may
be seen surrounded by a cluster OF
workers.
The queen is q fair and stately bee,
differing from the workers both in
shape and color, she is longer than
honey bee by one-third, and somewhat
longer than a drone, but not quite SO
big around. The queen is treated
with the greatest respect and affec-
ton by the bees A circle Of her off
spring often surround her, testifying
in various ways their dutiful regard.
offering her food from time to time,
and all politely backing out of her
way, to give her clear path when
she moves over the combs. So strong
is the feeling of the worker for the
queen, that ii for any reason she is
removed. the whole colony is filed
with CONSERVATION and dismay. Her
death, when it is too late in the sea
son to raise another queen, means the
dral extinction OF the colony. A good
queen will sometimes lay from two to
three thousand eggs a day. or nearly
the weight of her own body and con-
tinue doing so for weeks in success

When the harvest is completed. cuF
tiHation of bush fruits should cease.
The sowing of some cover crop with
the last cultivation is a most excellent
practice.
Oats and peas, either separate or
in combination, answer this purpose
admirably. The benefits derived from
a cover crop are manifold.
The greatest OF these benefits, per-
haps, comes in the protection afford
ed by the growth to the surface Of the
ground.
1t is we'll known among those who
have made a study of soil physics that
when left unprotected by a growth of
some kind there is a loss both in
plant food and in the humus content
of such soil.
Hence in SO far as is practicable
the wise husbandman will keep his
land covered with growth OF some
sort.
It is not practical to keep a cover
crop growing among small fruits
through spring and early summer, for
the best interests of such fruits re-
quires intensive cultivation through
this period Of their growth, but with
the fruiting season over such neces-
sity ceases.
Unless drought conditions are un-
usually severe there will be a suffi-
cient amount of moisture in the soil
of bush fruit plantation that has re-
ceived intensive cultivation through
out the spring and summer to start
vigorous growth of oats or peas. and
under ordinary conditions of fail pre-
cipitation such grains will attain CON
siderable growth
The protection afforded by such q
growth prevents teaching of intrates,
that are continually being evolved
through Identification processes CON
stantly in operation among soil
agencies.
Such growth also prevents washing

TVy1Of is Woman S

LLatfon of fIie BOsCeIS.

If womans beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be
picture of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that 1t lies in health. In
the majority of cases the basis OF
health, and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. SO many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
and they do not exercise enough But
whatever the particular cause may be
it is important that the condition
should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re
quirements, is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women en-
dorse highly, among them Mrs. c. S.
Vance. OF 511 S. Ray ST., New Castle,
Pa At times she had spells of indi-
gestion so severe that she thought she
would die. Syrup Pepsin regulated her
stomach and bowels, and she attrib-
utes her excellent health today to this
remedy.
All the family can use DR.. CALDWELL
Syrup Pepsin, for thousands Of moth
ers give it to babies and children. 1t
is also admirably suited to the require
ments of elderly people, in fact to all
who by reason of age or intirmity can
not stand harsh salts, cathartics, pills
or purgatiyes. These should always be

Saved by Faith.

Faith used means ordered of God,
victory. Faithful obedience is here
wonderfully contrasted with former
unfaithfulness. Joshua directs the
spies to search out Rahab and she
and her household are saved accord
ing to promise, w 1925. She also
was saved by faith, Heb. 1871, and
became one Of the line from which
Christ came, Matt 1:5. The only
part of the wall that remained stand
ing was that where Rahab's house
stood, w. %, see chapter 2:15.
The teaching is very plain. AS the
Israelites depended wholly upon God,
were obedient to his orders, accepted
his discipline, held back all passion
and covetousness, they entered into
the fruits of victory that made easy
many subsequent ones. Their acts Of
faith were a more severe test than
those more visible and carnal means
of fighting battles.
AS these people of God had crossed
the Jordan, submitted to the rite Of
circumcision, took their first march
In this land Of promise and captured
this walled city which stood in the
way of their progress, the unbelief Of
forty years was rebuked. This was a
day of vindication for Caleb and
Joshua, day of proving that God

ECONOMICAL DISH ES.

Meats which are not tender enough
to serve as steaks, chops or roasts are
as nutritious as those which cost more
money per pound. All tough meat
should be cooked long and slowly at a
low temperature.
Griilaros.-Chop a medium sized
onion fine, dredge il with -four and
fry in hot bacon fat until brown. Add
two pounds of round steak, cut in
small pieces. Season well with salt
and paprika; add cup of canned to-
matoes free from juice and water suf-
nclent to cover. Cook on the back
part Of the range, well covered, for
two hours.
German Meat Baiis.-Trim all the
fat and skin from "a pound of round
steak, put over the fire with a quart
OF cold water, ore onion, a stalk of
celery, tablespoonful of parsley and
a teaspoonful of salt. Cook one hour.
Soak a large slice of bread in water,
squeeze until dry, then mix one pound
OF the round steak minced fine; add a
beaten egg and two tablespoonfuls of
melted butter, one teaspoonful of salt
and dash of pepper Make into balls
as large as an egg ana boil ten min
utes in the broth. Brown tablespoon
full of -four in a tablespoonful of but
ter, strain the broth and add it, stir
ring until thick. Pour the gravy over
the meat balls and serve
Meat Lcaf.-To each pound of
chopped beef add two ounces of fat
pork or suet; mix with a fourth Of a
cup Of bread crumbs, one teaspoonful
OF salt, seasOnings Of herbs and a
beaten egg. A few drops of vinegar
or lemon juice softens the meat fiber
and makes it more digestible. This
loaf may be steamed one or two hours
or put into the oven ard baked, bast-
ing occasionally. Amy of the loaf left
over may be dipped in egg and
crumbs, fried and served as Gro.
quettes.
Baked Bread and Cheese.-Slice
stale bread half an inch thick and lay
in pudding dish with alternate lay
ers Of cheese and a little salt When
the dish is full and the cheese is on
top, pour in milk slowly until the
bread is nearly covered. Cover and
bake half an hour, uncover and brown.
The bread will puff up and look as
good as it tastes.

sion. At the beginning of the season
the queen lays eggs in the workers
cells. She walks over the combs, puts
her head into each open cell as she
comes to it as though to discover
whether it is occupied or is in fit con
dition to receive an egg. l have look
ed into an observatory hive for hours
and watched how faithfully she goes
about her work. The queen only
stings other queens, and seeks only
ia kill her rivals. She may be hand
led to any extent without fear of be-
ing stung. She has also great tena-
city of life as well as longevity She
will often continue alive in conditions
that have proved fatal to the workers
confined with her.
Well-bred queens are good for two
full years work, and the, great ma
jority for the third year. A queen
hatch in the early part of the season,
so that the year of her Matching she
does much breeding, is aged and very
uncertain her third year. Matched in
mid or late summer she will complete
that year, all the next, and make a
good colony for the next honey season
after that, when she ought to be SUI
perseded. Do not expect a queen to
do more than two hard summers
service Many will be good for long
er, but not enough to make it profit
able to risk keeping longer
There are no sure rules for finding
a queen. It is somewhat a matter Of
patience and practice. And yet atten-
ton to some things will help very
much. Go at it as quietly as possible,
using very little smoke, as smoke and
rough handling will alarm the bees
and set them to running, and then you
might as well give up the job until
another time.
If the bees are Italians, queens can
usually be found at least on the third
or fourth frame taken out Of the hive.
A practical beekeeper will first pull
out the center frame, and look for
freshly layed eggs Failing to find
these he will take out another frame
from another portion Of the brood
nest If he finds the eggs. then he
has reasonable assurance that the
queen IS somewhere in this part of
the hive He looks the frames over
carefully, and, failing to find her, he
takes out the next one, each time fol-
lowing in the wake Of the eggs. While
it no sure rule that the presence of
freshly layed eggs in any portion of
the brood-nest is evidence that the
queen is in that part of the hive, yet,
generally speaking, she will be found
near them.

To the one possessing an aesthetic
nature this alone will be ample re-

AS soon as the fruiting season is
over, it is usually advisable to remove
the canes just fruited and burn them.
Where there are fungous diseases
to contend with the need Of this be-
comes imperative. After this growth
has been removed the young canes
should be thoroughly sprayed with
the Bordeaux mixture. A month later
another application should be made.
When the canes have so far ripeneo
that the leaves begin to drop, the
growth of young canes may be re-
duced by cutting away about one-third
of the growth made.
Fall pruning has no advantage over
spring pruning, perhaps, except that
