RESIGNATION.


81 do hate soap, nurse!" said the
young lady of the family. why do
they put soap on you?
aYou don't want TO be a dirty girl,
do you, dearies?" reconstructed nurse.
"Well, but birds, horses, elephants,
and all the other thtrgs don't have
soap, but are clean"
Nurse was taken completely by sur
prise, and was speechless for few
moments.
But Kitty continued:
"Of course, haven't bill or

ihave, so 1 suppose I shall have TO
put up with it."

HOW TO TRANSFER BEES

The keeping of bees in box
hives or log 'gums" is unprofit-
able. The care that bees need
in order to gather fair crop of
honey can be given only if the
beekeeper is able to examine the
the bees and to move the combs
as needed.
Probably one-third of all the
bees in the United States are in
hives without movable combs,
and to assist the owners of such
colonies TO get them in proper
hives the United States depart
ment of agriculture has pre-
pared Farmers Bulletin 961,
Transferring Bees to Modern
Hives" Various methods are
given, some one of which will
be possible to any beekeeper, so
that there is no reason for de-
lay In making the bees produc-
tive.
Unless the bees are properly
managed after transfer there is
little advantage in movable
frame hives. This requires a
study of Bookkeeping as well as
promptness and care. Direc-
tons for handling bees are given
in other publications of the de-
partment.
