Only the root of cicuta is poisonous.
Cases Of poisoning are more frequent

The Last of the Caribs.

The Carib Indian was the first rep
resentative Of 10 the poor red man to
meet the tide of European travel. He
was the one found by Columbus and
the later Spanish explorers in the West
Indies, and he has given the Caribbean
sea his name. Thus he Is assured a
monument as long as geography shall
last, and he needs it, because as a
living race he has practically disap-
peared.
How many thousands of Caribs
dwelt in the West Indies in 1892 is
largely a matter Of conjecture. They
quickly began to die out under the
hand Of the conqueror, who worked
them as slaves, and shot them when
they made war. Today 1t is doubtful
whether there are hundred pure
blooded Caribs alive. Practically all
of them live on the British island of
Dominica, on reservation set apart
for them called Salybia.

REGULATE SWARMING
TO INCREASE HONEY
Expert of Missouri College Gives
Suggestions Intended to As
Sist Bee Keepers.

Bee swarming is natural, and can
not be entirely prevented though it can
be regulated. Some strains Of honey
bees, such as the small black bees,
swarm more often than others, though
all strains may be expected to swarm
when conditions are right. To secure
the greatest production Of surplus
honey, reduce swarming to minimum.
BY repeated, swarming many weak
colonies are produced, each Of which
stores little If any surplus honey, and
they may all be so weak that they will
perish during the following winter.
Congestion in the hive, tree or other
abode, a restriction of the brood nest,
Over-heating, due to poor air circula-
ton and the lack of shade, and an
overabundance Of drones, are some
factors which tend to encourage
swarming. Leonard Haseman of the
University Of Missouri college of ag-
riculture offers the following sugges-
lions for regulating swarming: Make
the abode of the colony comfortable,
give 1t shade, remove drone brood, pro-
vide plenty OF room Tor surplus honey
In the supers, and make sure that the
brood chamber is large enough to ac-
commodate the colony.
The tendency to swarm is usually
most noticeable during May, June and
early July, and IL the foregoing pre-
cautions are taken in time they will
help prevent development of the
swarming fever. If the swarming fe-
yer is once developed by a colony,
swarming is much more difficult to pre-
vent. The careful removal of queen
cells every week may help to prevent
the swarm from emerging, but may not
relieve the swarming fever. BY remov-
ing part of the brood combs rich In
brood and giving them to weaker col
onies In exchange for some of their
combs which have little or no brood,

In cases Of the poisoning of human

ERG0T is DANGEROUS
POISON TO ANIMALS
No Remedy for "Ergotism" and
St0ckmen Should Avoid Graz
ing on Infested Areas.
CBy w. w ROBBINS. Colorado Agricul-
tural College. Fort Collins. Colol

(By w. w. ROBBINS. Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
Ergot is name applied to one stage
of fungus that works in the heads
of number of grasses. 1t causes one
of the Oldest known stock diseases, the
so-called "ergotism."
The ergot stage Of the fungus is
abundant In the fall. 1t forms pur-
ple-black, straight or hornlke. hard
structures about one-fourth to one-half
inch long. These structures occupy
the position of the grain in the head of
grass. This hard mass is not degen-
crate kernel Of grass, however. The
black ergot masses vary In size and
shape, depending upon the plant at
tackled. They are largest in rye. Ergot
develops upon number Of grasses.
There is no effective remedy for err
gotism. Hence one should become fa-
miliar with the appearance of ergot,
and avoid grazing stock on badly in
tested areas and also avoid cutting in
tested areas Of grass for hay.

the normal emergence Of brood is dis
turbed which tends to relieve the
swarming fever.
1t should be remembered that the
production of comb honey encourages
swarming more than the production of
extracted honey. Under present condi-
tons, when 1t is so urgent that more
honey be produced to relieve the sugar
shortage, small as well as commercial
beekeepers are urged to produce more
extracted or chunk honey and less of
the fancy section honey. Bees work
more readily in frames than in pound
sections; and where the honey is ex-
tracted and the empty combs returned
for refilling much more honey will be
obtained. This in itself will materially
help to regulate swarming.

plowed where the plant grows, care
should be taken that no roots are left
where stock can get at them. Where
the plants grow In great abundance. as
they frequently do along irrigating
bitches, it is desirable to dig them out.
When this is done the roots should not
be left on the surface, but should be
