Duties of the Queen Bee.

1t may be interesting to some peo-
pie to learn that all the work in bee
hive Is done by female bees. The
drones, or males, live on the labors of
their more industrious female com.
panions. Moreover. there is no such
thing as king bee. The ruler of the
hive. is the queen, but she is ruler
in name only, being guarded and pro-
tected by the bees simply because the
colony would become extinct If she did
not lay eggs at prodigious rate. It
is not unusual for good queen to pro-
duce her own weight in eggs in a
single day, and she keeps this up for
weeks at time.

had no home and a great many other
reasons, we changed our mind"

New York. = Miss Honora May
O'Brien, the colleen " Skibbereen,"
who collected 100000 heart balm
from John B. Manning, I'm aged and
wealthy stakeholder of New York city,
has been secretly married in Ireland
to one of her childhood playmates, ac-
cording to q letter forwarded by the
young Irish beauty to one of her
friends in this country. The bride
groom is John DAILY, farmer of Skib-
bereen, who wanted to marry her
three years ago when she came to
America.
Tilted Girl Received 100000.
When Miss O'Brien arrived in this
country she went to work in Manning's
Wall street Office. Manning, who was
eighty-three years old, surprised his
friends by announcing, early in De-
cember of 1916, that he was about to
marry Miss O'Brien. The day before
the wedding was to have taken place,
Manning telephoned to Cardinal Far
ley that there would be no wedding;
that the six children of his first wife
had strongly opposed the match, and
that he was too old to marry a woman
of twenty-eight. 1t had been said that
he had arranged to settle 100000
upon his bride.
When the wedding was called off
Miss O'Brien began an action for ST.
100000 against Manning. A jury gave
verdict of $225,0O0, which the pre-
siding judge reduced to $125,OOO. Man.
ning's lawyers threatened to appeal
and Miss O'Brien accepted 100000,
returning to Ireland almost at once.
At the trial Miss O'Brien testified to

 Proper housing is essential to sue cessful swine production, yet 1t is of- tentimes overlooked Dry, sanitary, comfortable conditions must be pro- vided if one wishes the best returns in pork producing business. Sensible shelter is in order because it saves feed, provides comfort, and saves money
 Swine are quite susceptible to the unfayorable influence of dampness, cold, heat, and drafts. The new born pigs farrowed in January, February or March must be housed intelligently in warm, dry. well-ventilated quarters if good returns are to be expected
 Plan to build hog house now to protect your hogs in the summer from the sun and to protect them from the cold next fall and winter Satisfae- tory houses for hogs should possess these requirements, namely: Warmth. dryness, abundance of light and sun- light, shade, ventilation, sanitation, safety, comfort, and convenience. The above hog house carries these require ments, and the following bill Of ma- terial will give you an idea of how little it takes To build a good, ser viceable hog house.
 The Iowa Movable House has sever al advantages because the location may be changed when desired. isola- ton may be secured quickly, ventila- tion is promoted, construction simpli- fed, il is adaptable to the renter. and artificial heat in a Jew pens can cas- fly be supplied during the cold win ter months for the young pigs Thou sands of pigs freze this winter in Ark ansas. Lets not allow this to occur again. One man in Saline county saved only r cut of 3. Another man in Randolph county lost 22 pigs out Of % Another man in Searcy county had the same luck and thus went over the entire state.
