The novice in beekeeping imagines
that the most important month in the
beekeeper's calendar is the month IN
which he takes off the surplus honey
1t is well to remember that the har-
vesting Of the surplus is really the re-
suit of careful attention to details al
other seasons of the year.
Without doubt September and May
are the most important months of all
the year. In May the colonies are
to be made strong and in condition
to gather the nectar from the abund-
ance of bloom in May and June; and
September is an important month in
which to build up each colony in both
bees and stores for the winters sleep.
Most if not all of the nectar gath
cred from the early fruit bloom in
May, will be consumed by the colon
les in rearing large quantities OF
brood, to crowd the hives with work
ers to lay tribute upon the clovers
and Eastwood.
The latter part of the month, if
weather conditions are favorable,
will be most excellent time in which
to rear some young queens from
choice mothers, that every colony
may be headed by vigorous young
queen whose laying. will be quite a
factor in the early part of the sea-
son year hence.
1t is not difficult matter to rear
choice queens; directions are given in
all of the latest beekeeping books,
and full treatment of this most in
teresting phase Of the work is given
, in the any book.
The department of agriculture at
Washington, ID. c., has for distribu-
ton a fine bulletin on the subject of
"Queen Breediny," written by DIR,
Phillips, an expert.
Duriny the first part of this month
artificial increase may be started and
the winter losses replaced, and if
needed the entire number of colonies
can be doubled. The method is most
simple.
From strong colony take three
frames of sealed brood, also the
queen, and place these frames and
queen in another hive. Close the
hive entrance with small piece of
wood, place it upon what is to be its
permanent stand, and keep the bees
imprisoned for, say, five days.
In addition to the three frames of
bees and brood, fill up the rest of the
hive with empty combs Tor, better
still, with combs in which there is
some honey, and after five days pull
back the closing block, leaving an en-
trance of not more than half an inch,
thus giving the bees their liberty.
AS the nucleus becomes strong,
widen the entrance by pulling the
block back still farther, until the
queen and three frames have built up
into strong colony, which should be
by the middle of June if there is
abundant forage in that neighbor-
hood
The hive from which three frames

X Limewater il also satisfactory for
preserving eggs and is slightly less
expensive than water glass. A solu-
ton is made by placing two or three
pounds Of unslacked lime in five gal
Ions Of water, which has been boiled
and allowed to cool, and allowing the
mixture to stand until the lime settles
and the liquid Is clear. The eggs
should be placed in clean earthen--
ware jar or other suitable vessel and
covered to depth of two inches with
sired, rinse in clean, cold water, and
use Immediately.

ACT QUICKLY

Do the right thing at the right
time.
Act quickly in time of danger.
In time of kidney danger Doan's
Kidney Pills are most effective.
Plenty of Bedding evidence of their
worth.
Mrs. Glenn Wasnick, 81 S Pearl
ST., Belding, says: II have kept
Doan's Kidney Pills in the house for
years and from the benefit have re-
ceived, / am only too glad to advise
their use to others. Whenever my
back has been weak or lame or have
been dizzy and my kidneys irregular
in action, have used Doan's Kidney
Pills. This medicine has never failed
to give quick relief, soon curing the
attack"
Price so, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

Today's Poem

A Hymn for War Time
0 Lord of Hosts, Almighty King!
Behold the sacrifice we bring;
To ev'ry arm Thy strength impart;
Thy Spirit shed thro' ev'ry heart.
Wake in our breasts the living fires,
The holy faith that warmed our
sires;
Thy hand hath made our nation free;
To die for her is serving Thee.
Be Thou a pillared flame TO show
The midnight snare, the silent foe;
And when the battle thunders loud;
Still guide US in its moving cloud.
God of all nations! Sovereign Lord
In Thy dread Name we draw the
sword,
We lift the starry flag on high
That fills with light our stormy sky.
From treason's rent, from murders
stain,
Guard Thou It's folds till peace shall
reign,
Till fort and field, till shore and sea,
Join our loud anthem, praise to Thee!
Amen.
Oliver Wendell Holmes.

How Manley Got In

Manley Jones recently waited long
and patiently to see the buyer of a
large grocery establishment who was
closeted in his Office in the rear of
the store.
Peals of laughter came from the
buyers room as his assistant stepped
out.
"Mr. Blank is too busy to see you
at present." said the assistant, polite
ly.
sI'm sorry" said Manley. "Will
you go back and tell Mr.. Blank that
I've two good stories just as good as
the one he's heard, if he'll let me in
to tell them?"
