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 a 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. If 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
after two or three days by ripe cell.
A queen will often be accepted at this
stage, but l 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, so far as making the
colony of any use within reasonable
time. Under these circumstances the
bees will seldom accept a queen If
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 normal colony,
and a queen introduced, or a very
weak colony may be used instead of
this nucleus, if there is one which
needs Strengthening. The laying
worker colony is set on a 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. Tho few bees left above
have always fancied to be the laying
workers themselves; but they do no
harm If knocked out on the grass.
The sealed drone brood is then I'M
capped, and left to chill over night.
It may then be given back to the
bees, which will clean out the dead
larvae.

II the ground was well fortified
before planting the seeds. there Will
be but little trouble through plants
dwindling in the hot weather, pro-
viding the soil is kept light.
Much of the trouble laid to drouth
comes through plant starvation. The
cucumber is such rank grower that
1t exhausts the fertility of the soil
very quickly, unless some reserve
food is provided
If you have not made due provision
for this in the planting, it may still
be easily done by digging large
hole between each four hills, and fill
ing this with the fertilizer mixing it
as much as possible with the soil.
Rains will wash part Of the fer
tility down among the roots, and the
plants will thus find a source of con-
slant renewal.
This will keep them growing, and
in vigorous condition throughout the
season, and the fruit formed under
these conditions will lack the bitter
ness which we are accustomed to ex-
pect from the August cucumber.
If the little striped squash bug ap.
pears, it can be hand-picked early in
the morning, or late at night, but
when the sun is shining 1t is always
alert, taking wing at the slightest
disturbance. Look for 1t in clusters
on the under side of the leaves, and
at the tips of the branches.

The reason some farmers cannot
afford to keep a hired man is because
they do not know how to manage
their business to make 1t pay. l have
seen farmers with only 20 acres, who
kept two hired men all the season
and one the year around.
Then 1 have seen men who owned
100 acres who could not afford to
keep one. It's all in knowing how to
make the soil give up every dollar of
profit there is in it. It's poor farm
er who cannot pay a man $50 month
and make a dollar a day profit from
hisbwork. Some of them make three
or four times as much.

It is generally conceded that the

says II possible chickens should be

A middle-aged couple were prepar-

daughter in the city, and their last IN

was heavy sleeper, were to be sure

Monday noon they got back to the

Sun Motors.

From the Chicago Journal.
An American inventor, backed by Amer
lean capital, is making the most elab-
crate experiments yet known in develop
ing power from the heat of the sun. Like
most other workers in this line, he is
focusing the suns rays to generate
steam; but there are said to be some new
features in his device which give promise
OF success. His plant is located in Egypt
Some years ago Thomas a. Edison was
credited with saying that sun motors
which depended on generating steam
would never be commercial success.
According to this theory. before the limit
less power which the sun is pouring on
the earth can be utilized some workable
plan must be found of turning heat di-
rectly into electric current. This can be
done now. but not on commercial scale.
Ii the dream OF u practical sun motor
is ever realized, what tremendous
change it will work i'll the ways of the
world! Coal mines would cease to be i'm
portant sources of power. Hydro-elec-
tric plants and tide motors alone could
compete with power derived from the free
gift OF the sun. Industrial centers would
shift southwark and turn toward the dry,
sunny parts OF earth; and population, as
always, would follow industry.

THE POACHER IN LOVE.
Man Will Try to Win q Girl Even

From the Wornan's World.
Honor and scrupulousness are ideals
which should not be laid away on the
shelves Of our souls, but should be part
of the well used furnishings of our daily
lives. We respond to these ideals when
we see them represented in novels or on
the stage. or In other peoples actions.
and we should not fail to remember that
when we ourselves are tested We have
no right to sacrifice these high principles
to some strong but unworthy desire.
Certain girls and men who have a fair
amount of honor and scrupulousness
where business or ordinary social affairs
are concerned appear to lack these
qualities entirely when it comes to a
question OF love. If such girl sees a
man to whom she is attracted and who,
she learns, is engaged she does not let
that fact prevent her from trying to win
him away from his fiancee. If such u
man sees q girl whom he wants to marry
he will try to win her even If she is on
the eve of marriage with some one else

affairs, but it should be legitimate COM

AUTOMOBILE KILLS MOST.
Some Startling But Incomplete Sta
tistics Showing This.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The municipal reference librarian of
Chicago. Frederic Rex. has taken the
trouble to collate some statistics re-
garding fatal railway and automobile
accidents for the fiscal year 1912. and
has drawn therefrom a few interesting
of passengers killed in all ways on all
IF the railways Of the United States
during the fiscal year ended June 80,
1912. was 270. During the same period.
according to information obtained by
the Chicago statistical expert, 6s1 per-
sons were killed by automobiles in
twenty-five American cities having a
population of 100000 or more.
The comparison becomes startling
when 1t Is realized that in the state OF
New York alone such cities as Roches-
cluded. Neither does the list of twenty
two cities include all other cities in
other states with population exceeding
100000. 1t must be apparent at once,
therefore, that the number of auto
mobile fatalities, taking the country at
large, has been greatly underestima ted.
Yet, with this incomplete record. the
comparison with fatalities of pas
sengers on the railways of the entire
country is startling. 1t is computed
automobiles in these twenty-five cities
alone was considerably more than twice
the total number Of railway passengers
killed.
1t is apparent even from these made
quate statistics of automobile fatalities.
that there is something radically wrong
in the traffic regulations of the larger
cities, or in their enforcement The
sacrifice of human life is too heavy a
toll TO pay for the advantages of the
modern automobile. Railway managers
are now being held to strict account
ability for preventable accidents, and
the time is not far distant when the
reckless use of the automobile must be
checked
