Cleveland, o., Oct. AT least
four persons were killed and thirty

on the West Third street bridge. The
force Of the impace caused the wood

shortly afterward. and several other

There were forty persons on one
car and twenty on the other, and
that so many escaped unhurt was re-
earded as almost miraculous. It was

taking honey out is no trouble at all, when bee
escape is used, for the bees do not even know
what is going
The best way to begin beekeeping is to buy a
colony or two from some up-to-date aparist in the
neighborhood, but a hive full of bees can be
shipped by express or the insects may be bought
by the pound if one already has an empty hive.
Indeed, this is practice which is becoming very
common. for experienced beekeepers often
invest in one, two three-pound packages Of
bees in order to build up weak colonies. 1t is not
an unusual thing for bees to be shipped all the
way from Texas to Canada.
Sometimes wild bees may be captured in the
woods and brought home Although called wild
bees these honey makers which are found in logs
and hollow trees have escaped from captivity at
some time, for there were no honey bees in this
country until they were brought here by the Pill
grim Fathers.
If the farmer more than half a dozen colo
MES of bees it will pay him to get extractor.
This is a simple device for separating the honey
from the combs, the latter being placed in a
frame which revolves at a high rate of speed,
the liquid honey being thrown out of the wax cells
by centrifugal force, just as cream is separated
from milk. Then the combs may be put back in
the hives for the bees to fill again The farmer
can usually get more honey this way and will
have less swarming.

fruit The crop so quickly decreased in size, how
ever, that the fruit men were glad enough to
have the bees back again. There is a well-es-
tablished belief that bees puncture grapes in

of fact the jaws of the honey bee are so made
that 1t would be unable to bite into otherwise

Orchards in which bees are present in large

sive to be feasible 1t has to be done in green
houses where strawberries are grown, for when
bees used the fruit is always misshapen, but
the winter strawberries sell for dollar or two a
pint
Perhaps it may be said without getting anybody
into trouble that the free use of water by spray
ing makes possible some of the remarkable ex-
hibitOns which bees occasionally give. Water is
not always used, by any means, but when 1t is the
bees are rendered surprisingly tractable and doc
lie. There are no bee tanners, however, who
are not stung at times. Indeed they may be
stung very often, but they Injured to the expe-
rience and do not even vince. And, of course,
experienced beekeeper learns how to handle bees
without making them angry. Furthermore, some
bees are much gentler than others. Many times
it is a good plan to kill the queen in a cross col
ony and replace her with young queen from
quiet colony Yet the cross bees are likely to be
among the best honey producers in the apiary.
Many farmers fail to succeed with bees simply
because they neglect to learn anything about their
management 1t is true that bees do not require
a great amount of attention and do best when
left alone most of the time. Yet there GER
tain things which have to be done just at the right
time and in just the right way. These are the few
things that the farmer should know about. In
early spring for example, the bees may easily
starve to death for lack of stores although they
may have come through the winter safely. In that
event they must be fed on sugar strip if honey
is available. Equal amounts of sugar and water
may be used and it is best to have the water
warmed, but the sugar should never be melted on
the stove as it is likely to be burned. The strip
may be given in one of several different kinds of
feeders, but few are better than shallow pan
from the ten-cent store with a little excel |
sior in it for the bees to walk If this pan
filed with strip is placed on top of the frames
