(By F. G. HERMAN)
The extension O. bee culture as
means of adding TO the income has
been rapidly going on since it was
demonstrated that bees could be man
aged without. discomfort to the opera
tor, and that profit of SO per cent.
and even more was easily procurable.
Bee culture requires no outlay for
land upon which to raise crops, for as
yet there has been no plant discov-
cred that pays to plant for honey
alone
She takes nothing from the fertility
of the soil. but gives to it one of the
greatest fertilizers known, the clovers,
which would become extinct if it were
not for her agency in fertilizing the
bloom. No land Is required except a
spot on which to place the hives.
1t is easy to handle bees when you
know how. Undoubtedly bee-keeper
often gets stung; 1t would be useless
to deny it and 1t is scarcely consoling
to novice to tell him he will get used
to being stung; but after time
beekeeper really does become inocu-
lated, after which, although the mo-
mentary pain may be sharp, there are
no disagreeable after effects, such as
swelling, etc.
The fear of stings I think prevents
many from liking the work and yet,
when properly protected with bee
veil and working only in the warm
part of the day and never when
cloudy, rainy or cold, and with the use
of a good smoker, one need rarely be
stung.
Avoid quick motions, do not breathe
upon them and If there are other bees
flying about in search of plumber do
not leave the hive open too long.
In case of accidents the smoker
should be used freely and it ought to
be at hand for any manipulation in
the apiary. 1t Is much easier to pre-
vent the anger of bees than to stop it
after it has begun. If you mismanage
a colony. of bees and rouse their anger
1t is quite likely that this disposition
will remain with them for few days.
A bee away from home, or laden
with honey, never volunteers an at
tack. This is so we'll known and so
established by apiarists that If were
not writing mainly for beginners l
would not think of mentioning it.
Thus, in order to render bees harm
less it Is only necessary to cause them
to fill themselves with honey. and this

Michigan State Normal Closes.

The commencement week of the
Michigan State Normal college cul-
minated in the commencement exer-
cises, held in the tent west Of the Ii
brary. The class this year numbers
78O, the largest class In the history
of the college and the largest class of
trained teachers graduated in the
country. OF these, IL received the de-
gree of bachelor of arts in education,
So the degree of bachelor of pedagogy,
$40 completed the life certificate
course, 143 the limited certificate
course, FL the conservatory course
and Is the rural school course. The

of master Of pedagogy upon ex-Presi-
dent Lewis H. Jones, of the college;
Assistant Superintendent Charles L.
Spain, Of Detroit; Superintendent of
Schools Frank E. Ellsworth, of Alma;
John NJ Munson, of Harbor Springs,
md William N: Isbell, of Plymouth.
The address Of the day was by DR..
Albion w. Small, dean of the Univer-
tity Of Chicago, on "The Qualities of
a Dependable Citizen"
These qualities" he asserted. ARE
faithfulness to duty; loyalty, which
means doing all that may be asked
and little more, in whatever place
or rank one holds; truthfulness,
which means not only an endeavor to
find what is true, but to follow this
truth, however much it may conflict
with our own desires or hopes; and
that love which means caring more
for the welfare Of others than for
our own convenience or pride or
comfort. The address was strong and
forceful and was frequently applaud
ed.
The alumni dinner was held in the
gymnasium. The summer session Of
the college will begin June 80.

form was draped also in a large
American flag, and her raven curls
were surmounted by f1llet of silver
stars. This Goddess of Liberty effect
was the result of promise to dress
up for the two adoring and adorable
nephews, Bert and Bob. Arrived be-
Meath the window of the room usu-

Every penetrating wound caused
by blank shells, frecrackers or other

Bacteriologist NJ L. Holm. 'Tetanus
is caused by very resistent germ
belonging to the so-called spore-bear-
ing type. 1t is found very widely dis
tributed in nature, being present in
caying organic matter, etc When.
this germ is lodged in the tissue, and
air is excluded, it develops poison
which produces fatal results In fully
three-fourths of the cases. Tetanus

tentative.
During the last ten years there
has been. reported in the United
States 1,109 deaths from tetanus re-
sulting from Fourth of July injuries.
In Michigan during the last ten years
there have been reported eighty
deaths from tetanus resulting
from Fourth of July injuries. The
highest number reported in any one
year was twenty nine in 1903 and the
lowest, one in 1912. In about 1875 per
cent. of these cases the wound was
caused by blank cartridges, in 8.4 per
cent. by firearms and in "a per cent.
by cannons, in 80 per cent. by fire.
arms and In Sc per cent. by powder.
Statistics show that approximately
ten per cent of injuries from blank
cartridges result in fatal tetanus.
Hence an injury from a blank car
fridge, unless the patient is treated
with tetanus antitoXin, is more dan
gerous than an attack of typhoid fe-
yer. The average period intervening
between the injury and the onset OF
symptoms OF tetanus is about seven
days, but may vary between five and
fifteen days. In those cases where
the symptoms of tetanus appear early,
fatal results almost invariably follow.
Where the symptoms appear later the
outlook is better but tetanus should
always be regarded as very serious
disease and all preventative measures
should be utilized, as there is no
treatment which may be relied upon

Music Teachers Elect Officers.

Muskegon has been chosen by the
Teachers association as the place
most suitable for the next meeting.
Owing to it's western location and
proximity to Grand Rapids, the home
of many Of the members, this point
was decided upon. The association
received flattering invitations from
Grand Rapids, Bay City and Saginaw,
but as all of these have had the con-
yention before they were declined.
A vote of thanks was sent to each
city for the invitation, however.
At the business meeting L. l.. Rem
witch of Detroit was chosen president;
Fred M. Killeen of Lansing, vice-presi-
dent; J. G. Cummings, Saginaw. Sec

treasurer, and S. E. Clark of Detroit
auditor. The last two named were re-
elected. H. A. Milliken of Bay City
was chosen chairman of the program
committee.
A concert was given by members OF
the association about the state. Miss
Leila Lyon of Midland gave two diff.
ficult piano selections and was very
we'll received. She played with an
ease that was remarkable. Miss
Madge Quigley of Ypsilanti also gave
two piano selections, the last one
Mendelssohn's "Rondo Capreccioso."
Her Interpretation of this latter selec-
ton was especially fine. Another pi-
ano number was given by Mrs. Won
Nostitz Mueller of Bay City. Her
three numbers were we'll rendered, es-
pecially prelude and Fugue OPP. 49,
by Mcdowell. Organ solos were given
by Allie Zuidema of Detroit, Miss Elsie
Andrews of Ypsilanti, Walter E.
Hartley of Grand Rapids, and Oscar
Frey of Lansing. All Of the numbers
were pleasing and well selected. A
vocal number was given by E. Maur-
