vent the anger of bees than to stop
1t after 1t is begun. II you misman-
age colony OF bees and arouse their
anger, it is quite likely that this dis.
position 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 es-
tablished by apiarists that II / were
not writing mainly for beginners, l
would not think Of mentioning it.
Thus. i'm order to render bees harm
less, 1t is only necessary to cause
them to fill themselves with honey,
and this is done by frightening them
with smoke. When smoke is driven
into hive through the entrance, the
bees at once begin filling themselves
with honey.
But with them, as with human be-
ings, it is the most experienced which
are slowest to take fright, so when
the old bees are all at home 1t Is
more difficult, and takes more time to
compel them to fill themselves.
For this reason it Is much safer to
handle bees during the warmest part
of the day, or at a time when the
greater part of the old are in the
field.
The bees which compose a swarm
are usually filled with honey for the
journey which they expect to take,
and they are harmless unless crushed,
or very much irritated by the anger of
others and the smell of the poison. 1t
is not absolutely necessary to smoke
a colony Of bees until all the bees fill
themselves with honey in order to
handle them safely, but 1t is certainly
the safest method.
An expert may open hive without
smoke and without danger, and may
handle the combs, and return them to
the hives without getting a single
sting by being quiet. steady and fear
| less.
1t Is a fact that the fearless apiar-
list may often be entirely unframed,
NIT otHcio q loO away iiioy w SNeH .
by the very bees which his manipu'
lations anger.
His quiet, determined demeanor is
his safeguard, while the uninitiated
strike at the angry bees until they
are stung.
When you wish to open hive OF
bees, if you wish to be perfectly safe
arm yourself with a smoker, cover
| your head with a veil, and step bold
ly to the front of the hive; send the
smoke through the opening for half q
minute, then stop, and repeat the op
Grafton after another half minute, OF
until they make steady hum, which
will show that they have given w
the desire to fight. Then open the
hive, smoke gently and you may LII

Recoanixe Equality Of Women.

In the Pacific ocean, far beyond
China and japan, lie the only two
countries In the world which fully &C.
knowledge the equality OF men and
women by giving political rights to
all citizens Of twenty-one regardless
OF sex. They are Now Zealand and
Australia.
New Zealand was the first by a
dozen years to put her daughters on
suffrage equality with her sons II
was in 1867 that the cry WAS raised,
"Shall our mothers. wives and sisters
have suffrage7"
The answer was given in 1893 by the
full enfranchisement OF women. In
Australia the chance came more grad
ually, province by province. But few
years ago the final concession was
made, and now Australian women, like
their sisters OF New Zealand, are the
equals in this way OF their husbands
brothers and sons.

The extension of bee culture as a
means of adding to the income, has
been rapidly going on since 1t was
demonstrated that bees could be
managed without discomfort to the
operator and that profit of 80 per
cent. and even more was easily pro-
durable.
Bee culture requires no outlay for
land upon which to raise crops. for
as yet there has been no plant dis
covered that pays to plant for honey
alone.
The honey bee is a benefactor to
our race, roaming the fields at will,
gathering honey and pollen. which
she pays for in the fertilization Of
the flowers.
She takes nothing from the fertil-
ity of the soil, but gives to it one
of the greatest fertilizers known, the
clovers, which would become extinct
II 1t were not for her agency in fer
quired except spot on which to pla &c
the hives. 1t is easy to handle bees
when you know how. Undoubtedly a
beekeeper often gets stung; it would
be useless to deny 1t, and it is scarce
ly consoling to novice to tel him he
will get used to being stung. But aft
er time a beekeeper really does be-
come inoculated, after which, al
though the momentary pain may be
sharp, there is no disagreeable after
effects, such as swelling, etc.
The fear Of stings, think, prevents
many from liking the work; and yet
when properly protected with a 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 rare
ly be stung.
In many cases the sting Of a bee
is attended with much pain and swell
ing, while in others there are no Ill
effects produced whatever, and there
Is no doubt but that the system may
become Injured to the poison so that
no bad effects are produced.
The writer recollects the time when
a bee sting was very painful to him,
and was always attended with suffer
ing and swelling ! know there is a
certain current impression to the eff
feet that bees will sting some peo-
pie moro than others.
While this is true, it is not be-
cause they are able to recognize any
peculiar physical condition or differ
ence, nor Is it because one person
smells to the bees different to an
other 1t is because they notice a
difference in the behavior of different
persons.
Avoid quick motions, do not breathe
upon them, and If there are other
bees flying about in search Of plum
der. do not leave the hive open too
long,
In case of accidents. the smoker
should be used freely. and 1t ought to
be at hand for any manipulation in
the apiary. 1t is much easier to pre-

GARBAGE IS NOT
FIT FOR POULTRY
Anything the Average Restaurant
Won't tumble Up for Custom
erS Is Unfit Food.
(By M. M. BERNARD)

A poultry journal recommends that
those living near hotels should ar
range for the garbage, stating that
in 1t there Ia such variety Of food
that will be of untold value to hens.
The fact Is that anything the aver
age restaurant will refuse to tumble
up for their customers Is questionable
food for either fowls or hogs.
In the summer this refuse, when re-
moved once a day, Ia unspeakably foul
and the one who removes or handles
1t needs the nose of scavenger.
Fermented and decaying refuse
from such places Is dangerous, even
to handle. In this garbage" Is often
found pickles, sour cabbage, rotten po-
tatoes. tainted meat and other stuffs
even including coffee grounds-nt
only for the manure pile.
We cannot pc too careful about
what we feed our stock. Fowls
should have perfectly sound food or
they will nee enjoy perfectly sound
health.

of Servia, due to the unfair partition
of Macedonia, has been achieved. On
the other hand, Balkan alliance,
with the point directed against Aus
tria-Hungary, is not likely to be form
ed for many years to come, and this
was the greatest danger this mon
archy had to face before. With Rus
STA, too, her relations are now decid-
eddy better; in st. Petersburg they
have become convinced that Austria
Hungary has no Interior purposes at
heart, and seeks only lasting peace on
the Balkan.
Striking a sort of balance, then,
the author arrives at the conclusion
that Austria Hungary issues out OF the
fiery furnace of the last year with no
diminished prestige as great power,
with no loss of friends, but certainly
with some economic losses and with
more cares for the future.

AUSTR|A'SPROBLEMs
Eagerness to Revise Peace Of
Bucharest Has SubSided.
Vienna Paper Publishes ssme Inter
estins Facts on What Monarchy
Has Accomplished In Course
Of War on the Balkan.

Vienna.-The eagerness to have the
peace of Bucharest revised has now
subsidized. In fact, 1t may be stated
with some degree Of assurance that
Austria Hungary has abandoned all
idea of altering that instrument. II
Bulgaria herself, the party chiefly 'n'
jured, Is accepting her fate Win
equanimity. why should We at more or
less risk and cC3t attempt to inter
fere? Thus runs now the argument OF
Austria Hungary. And this argument
was clinched, so to speak. when bui'
garia began direct negotiations with
Turkey.
This line of action, however, does
not mean that the recently-concluded
treaty at the Roumanian capital Is
here looked upon as likely to last. 1t
is rather regarded as an armistice
which may possibly endure twelve
month or more, but whose inherent
weakness, together with the dissonant
elements making a part OF 1t, iore-
shadow beyond douD. another bloody
and venomous war. Yet even this
gertrude for the future is here held
as better than the immediate break
ing out of another continued chapter
Of hostilities.
In a political review of the present
situation ON the Balkan, inspired by
the foreign office in Vienna, the Tag
blatt Of this city publishes some In
teresting facts; mainly as to what this
monarchy has accomplished, and
what It has failed to accomplish in
the course of the late unpleasantness
on the Balkan. The article points
out that the creation of Albania has
been the work OF Austria-Hungary;
that the withdrawal OF Montenegro
from Scutari was due TO her likewise;
that Servia was kept from the Adria-
tic. but that, more important, the
Dreibund has been knit more closely
together, and that the relations with
Italy particularly were never such In
innate and friendly once before-all
due to common interests in the I'M
travelling OF the Balkan problem: last
ly, 1t is mentioned that the relations
between England and Austria-Hun-
gary have vastly improved, being new
er so good as now since England join
ed France and Russia as political
partner, and that England has all
along appreciated the peculiar inter
ests of Austria-Hungary in the Balkan
settlement, owing to her geographical
position.
But with so much to the right side
of the ledger, the article goes on tc
state that the final outcome Of the Bal
kan war has been entirely against
the interests Of the dual monarchy.
