The Moonlight School seems to be
doing some fine work. Several young
men have learned 20 read and write,
and some are making a most phenom-
email progress. All ages are present up
to something like 6 years. Large
crowds in attendance.

we We're courteously received by Prof.
Cancer, the efficient principal. who was
quite busy with large algebra class
composed of some twenty five or thirty
bright young ladies and gentlemen who
did sums of very difficult construction
with ease. The people of Lancaster and
! vicinity should be very proud of their
fine school building and be prompt to
take advantage of the golden OppOrtun-
tiles their excellent school offers par
ents in the education of their children.
We doubt if any town Of ike size in
Central Kentucky can boast Of a school
building as complete as this one.
Your correspondent recently went TO
Morgan, Ky. to purchase some queen
bees for his apiaries. We drove 20
Stanford and spent the night with MIR.
and Mrs. J.. S. Turpin and boarded the
early morning train At Lancaster.
Mr.. Eugene Sutton. former Preachers

manager of the W. T. L. with head
vUarters af Brunswick, Ga, for that
district. came aboard After vaca-
ton and visit to Garrard relatives he
was enroutc to ms post Of duty at
Brunswick. Gene" is as clever a
fellow as ever held down q key board
and we We're sorry when he transferred
at Winchester. After our arrival at
Morgan we inquired the way to the
residence of Mr.. J. P. Moore. known
to bee-keepers the world over. rs one
of the most progressive apiarists Of
the day and a queen breeder whose
queens are known far ard wide. a
three-quarter mile walk brought us to
the beautiful home of Mr.. Moore. We
found that gentleman and assistant.
Mr.. E. Jordan. busy filling orders
for queens. Theirs is one of the most
beautiful apiaries We have ever seen.
They run 209 colonies of bees FOR honey
and 100 nuclei, or small colonies IN
their queen rearing. An order of large
size was being filed to send to an
apiarist in California These queen
bees are placed in small wire cloth
cages provisioned with a sufficient al
lowance of bee candy. and about a
dozen bees are sent along as attendant

of Her Majesty, Mrs. Queen, while on
the long journey in the mails This
noted apiary contains no other race of
honey-bees but the Italian, recognized
by all bee-keepers as the gentlest bee
and the best honey gatherer of all the
several races of honey bees. The
queens we bought at one dollar each
have been accepted by the colonies to
which we introduced them. After re-
moving the old queen of colony the
wire cage was placed on the frames in
the hive and in few days the bees had
gnarved awav the pasteboard and eaten
the plug of candy thus liberating their
new mother. All are now laying in
their respective hives and by the return
of Spring the old black or common bees
will have passed out of existence and
the gentle. beautiful Italians will
people the miniature cities. Some few
apiarists will not concede the superiority
of this race. but after thorough trial
side by side with the common bees, we
are fully satisfied with their merits,
and next season, providence not pre-
venting, we will read all our queens
and by their use completely eliminate
the inferior race, with it's vicious pro-
pensities and its suseeptibihties tolthe
deadly bee scourge, foul brood.
