men. rotating III laying off at work, found
themselves with time on their hands when
they much preferred to be at work rather
than wasting their pay in the pursuits
that come with idleness. Such found
work elsewhere, il is understood, where
they could have full time.
The result was that the navy yards
were deprived of the services of the best
workingmen. leaving on the pay rolls
those who might otherwise have been
among the disinissals had the rotation
system not been in vogue So the system
has not proven satisfactory either to good

an impracticable economic system and

Work at Yard Slack.

Since last fall It has been evident that
the work OF the navy yard WOULD be
slack At that time the workers, through
the influence of their union reached an
agreement subscribed to by the navy
yard authorities, to lay off work in rota-
ton, so as to provide employment for
those who might otherwise have been dis
charged. With no prospect of increa sed
worl. for the navy yard, and the winter
r!gors having been PASSED, the navy yard
authorities are disposed to put the force
on a normal average working basis,
eliminating the meu whose services can
best be spared.
The rotation system has operated only
at the Washington navy yard with any
show of success. That it has worked
here at all, it is said, is only because of
the close social relation existing among
the men, the strength of their union, and
the fact that there is no work elsewhere
in Washington for men who would be
willing to leave or might be dismissed
from the navy yard service.
That the working of the system Is not
entirely satisfactory, at least to the man
agement Of the navy yard is demonstrat-
cd by the prospect of disrnisSals. 1t is
believed that many of the more prof.
cicnt Workmen will be glad to see IA
change in the system which will give
them fan time at work, although it means
that some of thei- associates must leave
town to find other occupation.

he explained, my autograph among all

write poem for him-to dash a poem

Hives.
The type of hive most generally
used In this country consists of a
plain wooden box holding frames hung
from rabbet at the top and not
touching the sides, top or bottom.
Hives OF this type are made to hold
eight, ten or more frames.
Whatever hive is chosen, there are
certain important points which should
be insisted on. The material should
be OF the best; the parts must be &C.
curately made. SO that all frames or
hives in the apiary are interchange
able. All hives should be of the

Beekeeping for pleasure and profit
Is carried on by many thousands of
people In all parts of the United
States. There are many places where
an experienced beekeeper can make a
good living by devoting his entire
time and attention to this line of
work. 1t is usually unwise, however,
to undertake extensive beekeeping, the
U. S. department of agriculture
says. without considerable previous
experience on a small scale, since
there are so many minor details
which go to make up success.
The average annual honey yield per
colony for the entire country, under
good management, will probably be
twenty-five to thirty pounds of comb
honey or forty to fifty pounds Of ex-
tracted honey. The latter being more
productive owing to the fact that the
comb is used repeatedly instead of be-
ing made anew by the bees each time.
The money return to be obtained from
the crop depends entirely on the mar
ket and the method of selling the
honey. If sold direct to the consum-
er, extracted honey brings from ten
to twenty cents per pound, and comb
honey from fifteen to twenty-five
cents per section. If sold to dealers,
the price varies from six to ten cents
for extracted honey and from ten to
fifteen cents for comb honey.
The location of the hives is a mat
ter of considerable Importance. AS a
rule 1t is better for hives to face
away from the prevailing wind and to
De protected from high winds. In the
North, a south slope is desirable 1t
is advisable for hives to be so placed
that the sun will strike them early
in the morning, so that the bees be-
come active early in the day, and thus
gain an advantage by getting the first

fsfactory, but it is best to avoid red
or black.
Hive Stands.
Generally 1t is best to have each
hive on separate stand. The en-.
trance should be lower than any
other part of the hive. Stands of
wood, bricks, tile, concrete blocks. or
any other convenient material will an.
swer the purpose. The hive should
be raised above the ground, SO that
the bottom will not rot. 1t is usually
not necessary to raise the hive more
than few inches.
Directions for ManlpuIations.
Bees should be handled so that they
will be little disturbed in their work.
AS much as possible, stings should be
avoided during manipulation. This is
true, not so much because they are
painful to the operator, but because
the odor of poison which gets into
the air irritates the other bees and
makes them more difficult to manage.
For this reason it is most advisable
to wear a black veil over a wide
brimmed hat and to have a good
smoker. Gloves, however. are usually
more an inconvenience than other
wise. Gauntlets or rubber bands
around the cuffs keep the bees from
crawling up the sleeve. 1t is best to
avoid black clothing, since that color
seems to excite bees; a black felt
nat IS especially to be avoided
Superfiuous quick movements tend
to irritate the bees. The hive should
not be Jared or disturbed any more
than necessary. Rapid movements
are Objectionable, because with their
peculiar eye structure bees probably
perceive motion more readily than
they do objects. Persons not accus-
toned to bees, on approaching a hive,
OFTEN strike at bees which fly toward
them or make some quick movement
OF the head or hand to avoid the sting
which they fear is to follow. This
should not be done, for the rapid
movement, even if not toward the bee.
Is far more likely to be followed by
a sting than is remaining quiet.
The best time to handle bees is dur.
ing the middle of warm days, partic.
ularly during a honey flow. Never

days unless absolutely necessary. The
work of beginner may be made
much easier and more pleasant by
keeping gentle bees. Caucasians.
Carniolans, Banats and some strains
of Italians ordinarily do not sting
much unless unusually provoked or
except in bad weather. Common
black bees or crosses of blacks with
other races are more irritable. II

supply OF nectar 1t is also advan-
tageous TO have the hives shaded dur.
ing the hottest part of the day, so that
the bees will not hang out in front
Of the hive instead of working. They
should be so placed that the bees
will not prove nuisance to passers-
by or disturb live stock. This latter
precaution may save the beekeeper
considerable trouble. for bees some
times prove dangerous, especially to
horses. Bees are also sometimes an
noyfng in the early spring. for on
their first flights they may spot
clothes hung out to dry. This may
be remedied by removing the bees
from the cellars on days when no
clothes are to be hung out.
The plot on which the hives are
placed should be kept free from
weeds, especially in front of the en-
frances. The grass may be cut with
a lawn mower, but it will often be

The hives should be far enough
