SPRING CARE OF BEES.
There should Be Strong Colonies at
Rsalnnina Of Heney Flow.

Rsalnnina Of Hensy Flow.
Prepared BY United States department OF
agricultural
The duty OF the beekeeper In the
spring is TO get plenty OF bees In time
for the honey fow. II this is not done
his work Is a failure. The population
OF the colony is reduced during the
winter. especially where wintering con-
ditions are not the best. and this must
be corrected II the colony is to set the
full honey crop. II Is poor Bookkeeping

Of the honey flow from which the sur
plus crop Is obtained.
After brood rearing gets under way
bees need three things-room for heavy
brood rearing. an abundance OF stores
and protection. A common error Is 10

empty cells for the reception OF eggs.
II In early spring the weather Is suit
able and II nectar Is available the bees
win add considerably TO their boards
Of honey. but they use Il 50 rapidly
that Il Is seldom that any gain In the
stores occurs even during fruit bloom.
However, since the weather Is uncer-
tain at this season the beekeeper should
not depend too much on incoming nee
tar to supply the needs OF his bees. IL
they are short OF stores feed a warm
thick strip made Of graduated sugar
and feed lavishly.
On some warm day the hives should
be opened and given a spring house

queenless colonies are discovered lhav-
ing no brood they should be united
with colonies having queens. This can
be done simply by setting the queen

The stimulation TO heavy brood rear

previous to the surplus honey dow, and
every beekeeper should know when
that comes In his locality. II he Is a

during the honey dow Is the greatest
drawback TO a good crop. Experienced
beekeepers have worked out methods
BY which this can largely be prevented.
and every beekeeper should study these
methods.

There are sections of the United

passers-by, whether with teams or

is convenient and those travelling
in the opposite direction pull them

that in those localities where this

Gently endorsed and rendered its
handsome young governor, Elliott

from the fact that Missouri is the

see why Gov. Major would not
make as good a running mate for
President Wilson as any one He
represents that type of strong,

admire; his ability is ample, and
he comes from neither extreme Of
