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

In every colony Of bees, whether 1t
be located in skep, the hollow of
tree, or in 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
portant 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
SEES, is supplied by the worker-bees
which are for the first fortnight of
their existence what may be termed
nurse-bees. If comb be taken out of
a movable hive quietly and without
disturbing the bees, the queen may
be seen surrounded by cluster of
workers.
The queen is fair and stately bee,
differing from the workers both in
shape and color, she is longer than a
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 a clear path when
she moves over the combs. So strong
is the feeling of the worker for the
queen, that if 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
fLal extinction of the colony. A good
queen will sometimes lay from two to
three thousand eggs day, or nearly
the weight of her own body and con
inue doing SO for weeks in success

When the harvest is completed. cul-
ovation Of bush fruits should cease.
The sowing of some cover crop with
tb last cultivation is 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 well known among those who
have made a study of soil physics that
when left unprotected by a growth of
some kind there is 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.
1t is not practical to keep cover
crop growing among small fruits
through spring and early summer. for
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 a
vigorous growth of oats or peas, and

rains, which, in cases of even slightly
rolling land, may be the source of con
siderable loss.
The first spring cultivation will
work this vegetative growth now dead
and partially decayed into the soil.
Through the processes of decomro-
sition the supply of soil humus is thus
replenished. and soil agencies liberate
the plant food used in making this,
growth, when it is at once taken UP,
by the roots of the fruit plants and!
used in the growth and development
of the various parts of such plants
which at this season are in an exceed
ingly high state of activity.
The growth of grain presents very
pleasing picture to the eye through,
out the fall season, during which time
there is usually not much verdure in

AS soon as the fruiting season is
over, 1t 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 ripened
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.

DOINGUNTOOTHERS
Basic Principle of Life to Be Re-

sions.


In one of the most beautiful legends
of the Buddha we read that far. far
back. in the distant aeons" there lived |
a hermit, Sumedha by name, who
found that he had solved the secret
of existence and could thus, If he so
pleased, cut himself off from that end
less chain of being in which he, like
every other unhappy mortal, was en-
shared Deliverance from the terri 1

will ambark anew on the ocean of ex-
istence in q ship which will convey
men and devas.' To this work, there
fore, of rescuing the ignorant and per-
ishing he forthwith devoted himself
through long series of existences,
until at last the hour arrived when
he knew not only how to save him
self but also how. to impart this
knowledge unto others. Then did he
appear upon the earth as Gautama. the
Buddha, and show to men the Eight
Fold Noble Path to Nirvana!
The remarkable thing about this
impressive story is the fact that it
lays down as basic principle for the
whole of life that which we much too
easily regard as demanded only by
exceptional occasions. In the face
OF some great crisis of disaster there
are never wanting dauntless souls
who gladly save others at the expense
of their own happiness and security.
A man safe upon the shore leaps into
the sea In sublime endeavor to bring
to land drowning stranger. A passer-
by dashes into a burning house to res
cue sleeping baby, woman on
senger and herself returns smilingly
to the deck of the sinking vessel.
Thus ever is the hero present when
the heroic action must be donei But
how many of us thus sacrifice our
selves for others not only at such
times as these, but also in the ordi-
nary, humdrum routine walks of life?
And yet it is this very duty of haz-
arding our own security for others
sakes," as much in the commonplace
as in the critical events of life, which
constitutes the pith and marrow OF
the legend which have taken for my
text. If we would live as nobly as
Sumedha then must we as gladly re-

The influence of the moon upon the
weather was in ancient times assumed
in much the same way as the influence
of the moon upon the tides of the sea
was assumed. There was no proper
knowledge Of the facts in either case,
and it was accepted in both cases
merely because the regular changes
of the earth's shadow on the moon
were used as the great primitive time
keeper, and any frequent changes In
other things must happen after some
one or other of those regular changes.
The barbaric guess, Post hoe ergo

study of the matter was made and
Newton's law of gravitation was ap-
piled to it, to be right in regard to the
tides. but wrong in regard to the

Jim had no desire to create sensa-

house; but as he left the pine grove
all his instincts led him to fee In an
other direction. He did not fully
realize Just what had happened to
him. but he was conscious OF having
received a very hard jolt. indeed. The
house, full OF happy associations as 1t
was, was Just now too tantalizing

Melanie were radiating that peculiar

the eve of matrimony. Jim wished

wished they wouldn't make such a
fuss over these things. Get It done

about It the better. In fact, Jim's
buoyant and Sunny spirit went into

trudged over the hill and into the

But he fingered on the way, divert

The thought decided him. The sea
should be his bride. Jim did not stop
to arrange, at the moment. just how
this should be brought about, but his
determination was none the less firm.
He became sentimental to the extent
of rejecting, vaguely, that this was
but philosophic justice. The sea had
not conquered him-far from It;
neither should She conquer him. He
would follow the sea. the path of gla-

on the food tide. cutting a gallant fig

overmastering longing to be aboard.
He would stay on the yacht until

all night.

No one ever knew whether the &C
complished Frenchman reached shore,
ultimately, In the rowboat, or descend
ed to Sabrina beneath the waves. If
that last hasty exit from the deck of
the Sea Gull was also his final exit
from life, certain 1t is that his depar-
ture into the realm of shades was un-
wept and unsung. The stick Of dyna-
mite was found, after a gingerly
search, lying on one of the berths. in
the large cabin, where it had been
dropped by the Frenchman In his
fight.
Jimmy Hambleton did not let the
shoe business entirely go to destruc-
ton, though his taste for holidays
grew markedly after he brought his
bride home with him to Lynn. One
year, when the babies we're growing
up. he ordered trim little yacht to be
built and put into her berth at
Charlesport. She was named the Sea

was her captain.
Sometimes, when James and Aga

ness hung over the listening water,
there would rise a song. clear and
birdlike:

and again Jimmy's heart would rise
buoyant, free, happy-the heart Of un-
quenchable youth.
THE END.
