GONDOLA IS VENICE

or four times. but altogether you do
not squander more than ten or fifteen
cents in American money. You would
not begrudge three times that amount.
When one Of the gondolas by the
side of the concert leaves there is
a scramble to get it's place. The gon-
doliers manipulate their boats skill

quick twist. gets you into the coveted
place. II seems to be coveted by the
boatmen, but in reality it is not as
good as being farther away.
All the gondolas are painted black,
and are just alike. 1t is said that one
of the old Doges of Venice, finding
that many of the wealthy mobiles were
obtaining gondolas much more elabo-
rate than he could afford. made law
that all except his own should be

SOW CLOVER SEED
IN FALL IS BEST
If Ground Is Not Properly Pre-
pared Failure Is More Than
Likely to Follow.
Rv II. uNDERWOopl

Some farmers think that fall Is the
best time in which to SOW clover seed,
while others are equally as sure that
spring is the best. If the right kind
of seed is provided and the seed bed
properly prepared, the seeding may be
successfully done either in the spring
or in the fall. If, however, poor seed
is sown and the ground is not prop
erly prepared, there Is liable TO be
failure, no matter when the work is
done.

not see much difference. Fall SOWING
Is generally preferable, because 1T can
be done at a time when there is not
so much rush work on the farm.
This being true, a better job can be
done, and. consequently. better stand
will be the result.

fall, | pillow the ground about the mid
die of August. About ten days after
being plowed it is narrowed thor
oughly and leveled with long float
This float is made similar to a road

levels the ground very smoothly
Either in the spring or fall seeding
this float should be used.
In about a week after the ground
has been narrowed and leveled with
the float, it is worked again with
harrow, followed by a light planker
Then / SOW the plat to rye. placing
on about three pecks to the acre. and
harrow the ground twice. once each
way. After this is done. SOW the

pounds to the acre. and give the

Other gondolas glide silently past you,
and perhaps now and then barge
loaded with fruit or fish, propelled
by the one long oar in the hands OF
swarthy Venetian. But you are rudely
awakened from your reverie by the
shrill whistle OF an impertinent little
steamboat 1t seems like an anach-
ronism, and one resents its presence.
These boats now run between the
railway station and the Adriatic sea.
In them one can go out to the Lido,
the famous Venetian seaside resort;
TO the great Venetian glass works and
other places Now and then a spee4
motor boat will dash by you. and you
shake your fist at it's departing stern,
and wish it would sink.
Then with a sudden turn to the
right you enter labyrinth of smaller
canals, so narrow, some OF them, that
you can almost touch the houses on
either side with outstretched hands
AS you approach a sharp turn, the
gondolier shouts a warning. answered
by another boatman, and presently
a long black prov energies slowly and
cautiously into view. With perfect
case the two boats pass each other
in this narrow space. never touching
nor humping The gondolierg have
perfect control over them and handle
the long unwieldly things perfectly.
THESE back canals are charming, al
though, one must confess, they are
sometimes rather smelly, and there is
danger of having the days garbage
dumped from an upper window INTO
your lap. But you do not mind tbs as
you glide beneath many bridges, and
slip past the old. old houses. with
the window gaily decorated with flow
ers. You gaze in wonder and admira-
ton at the picturesque old places. and
perhaps a black eyed signorina leans
from window and drops rose into
your boat. and smiles.
At night the charm of Venice is
even greater. Then It seems like a
yeritable dream city; but without the
gondclas II might be a nightmare. Far

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. IL a
couple Of frames Of young brood, with
the adhering bees, are given, queen
cells will almost invariably be started.
1t is we'll not to allow these TO hatch.
for the queen will almost certainly be
inferior, so they may be replaced
after two or three days by 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, go that the combs are filled
with drone brood in all sorts of scat
tering stages, a cure may be said TO
be impossible. SO far as making the
colony of any use within 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 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 two-frame
nucleus is made from a normal colony,
and queen introduced. or very
weak colony may be used instead OF
this nucleus, il 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-fifths 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 IL knocked out on the grass.
The sealed drone brood is then un.
capped. and left to chill over night.
1t may then be given back to the
bees, which will clean out the dead

Mot0rBodt
Gondo!d

out on the Grand canal one can see
two or three concert boats, decorated
with Japanese lanterns, and on the
still air comes snatches of old Italian
love songs. You listen a few min
utes, and then, with a nod to your
companion, you get up from your chair
on the hotel gallery and signal for a
gondola. Silently it slips up to the
steps leading into the water; you step
into it and sink by the side of your
companion deep into the cushioned
seats in perfect luxury. Never go out
alone.
A Scene of Beauty.

ian vocabulary is very limited. and
soon the long, black prov is pointing
toward the fairy-like boats. You sigh
in contentment. As/ you slip along

gaily. Small lights on the water here
and there show that other boats are
going to the concert. Everything Is
silent and serene, only the sound OF
the music breaking the stiffness. The
gondolier stands majestically behind
you, making long sweeps with his oar
The sound of the music grows palmer
and soon beneath the string OF Ian

Hundreds of gondolas, it seems. are
lined up around this boat. BY skillful
maneuvering your gondolier slides in
between two other boats. And then
you just stretch back and listen to the
singers, the water sloshing and lap
ping against the boats making an eff
fective accompaniment. The singers
can sing, too, grand opera and love
songs composing their repertoire.
When one song has been finished
the gondoliers shout for their favorite
song, for these swarthy boatmen seem
to enjoy the singing as much as do
their passengers. Presently a man
descends from the singers craft and
steps from gondola to gondola, small
bag in his hand. You hear the clink'
ing of coins, and when he gets to your
boat you drop few centisimi into the

EVH on the Grand canal in Venice
Ivy have been stubbornly fought
XV4 for some time by the Vene-
tian gondollers, but this
seems about to be overcome by the
formation of a cooperative society
among these boatmen. This body is
providing public service of small
motor launches between the railway
station and the Adriatic shore. They
maintain that the launches can be
used by those in a hurry, while the
gondolas will be retained for the use
of the leisurely pleasure seekers.
But why should anyone be in a
hurry in Venice? 1t 10 a place to
dream and rest. One of the greatest
attractions in this most picturesque
city on all the continent is to Toll back
in gondola and glide slowly down
the Grand canal. That first ride one
never forgets. 1t is as IL he had been
transported into an altogether differ
snt world, for everything is strange, un-
familiar. AS the boat proceeds leisure
ly along the stately old palaces, with
the high poles with the colors of their
owners painted on them, add to the
charm. They are ancient and many
are in a rather dilapidated condition,
but that makes them seem all the
more picturesque. 1t is fitting that
they should be.
Many Great Palaces.
Here, the gondolier tells you, is the
Palazzo OF Desdemona, beautiful old
place crowded in between two larger
palaces; there is the palace of the
Brownings, one of the stateliest on the
canal; over there is where the famous
Duse once lived, but her palace, prob
ably discouraged of having been de-
serted by the great celebrity, leans
disconsolately against it's .neighbor,
and seems ready to plunge into the
waters of the canal. And so as you
slip along to the sweep of the one
great oar of the gondolier, you see pal
aces of great dukes and duchess, of
poets, writer's and many others

If the ground was well fortified

Much Of the trouble laid to drouth
comes through plant starvation. The
cucumber is such a rank grower that
it exhausts the fertility of the soil
very quickly, unless some reserve

for this In the planting. 1t may still
be easily done by digging a large
hole between each four hills, and fill

as much as possible with the soil.

plants will thus find source of con.
