have stores in advance of its needs
at all times, room for brood rear
ing and protection from low tempera-
lures and winds. These things are
discussed in the bee publicationY Of
the u. S. Department of Agriculture.
Swarming Must Be Stopped.
Toward the beginning of the main
honey flow the problem changes. 1t
is now essential that each colony be
prevented from reducing its working
force by swarming and that it's in
stinct to store and gather honey be
kept dominant. During the period of
preparation, the instincts of the bees
ale in harmony with the desires of
the beekeeper but during the swarm
ing season the instincts of the bee are
directly opposed TO his interest. Any
breaking up of the colony and reduc-
ton of the working force by swarm
ing brings corresponding reduction
in the amount of surplus which may
be obtained from that colony. There
fore it is to the beekeeper's interest
to prevent swarming in every possible
way. and if swarming still occurs, to
care for the swarms so that as much
as possible of the original large work.
ing force may be kept together and
may be kept storing honey.
Space An Essential.
The improper understanding OF
these problems no doubt causes the
less of more honey and has more TO
do with the low average production
than any other factor, specialists be-
lieve. The study of these problems
is important for those who wish to
keep bees commercially. and much
information may be obtained concern
ing them from the bee publications OF
the department of agriculture. The
usual methods of swarm prevention
are concerned to a large extent with
the supplying of room-room fer
brood rearing and room for the stor-
ing bf surplus honey. This is fun
damental. If headed by good Wig
crous queen a normal colony needs
at least two 10-frame hive bodies for
brood rearing alone, and during the
honey flow the supplying of four or
five supers furnishes none too much
space for nectar storage and the rip
ening of honey.
AS rapidly as the bees begin work.
irg readily in one super another
should be added below the first. In
the same way a third super may be
supplied. AS a rule the super near
est completion is farthest from the
brood nest, and the one in which the
least has been stored is nearest the
brood nest Toward the end of the
flow, increase in storage space is not
desirable and the bees are left to fill
entirely what supers they have and
to ripen the honey completely. If
too much space has been supplied,
some Of the supers may be removed.
The close of the flow marks the be-
ginning of another period of prepare
tion and if winter is at hand the cycle
Of the year is complete.

For increased production Of honey
it is not necessary to have more bee
keepers. 1t is necessary only for
those beekeeprs the country now has
to improve their knowledge Of honey
production and to devote themselves
more seriously to the care of their
bees, says experts of the U. 5. depart
ment of agriculture. Statistics show
that the annual average yield of sur
plus honey to the colony is exceeding
ly low, and when compared with the
averages of the better beekeepers 1t
is inexcusably low and indicates un-
satisfactory management due to neg
lect or to ignorance.
A casual SURVEY Of beekeeping
practices makes it evident that the
greatest cause of this low production
is lack of care during the critical
periods of the year Broadly, the
beekeeping year may be divided into
two distinct periods-the period of
preparation for the honey flow and
the period of the honey flow. During
each the problems are different and
may be clearly defined. Usually there
is only one period of preparation,
which begins at the end of the honey
flow in the fall and lasts until the
main honey flow the succeeding year.
However, where there is more than
one main honey flow, there is period
of preparation of varying length be-
tween each one. The Bookkeeping
problem is the same, however, and
it consists in securing a colony over
flowing with bees ready for the field
when the honey flow starts.
Must Be Ready For Work.
In the north this problem iScalled
wintering and to the average bee
keeper the chief concern is to care for
each colony of bees so that it will be
through the winter period. This.
however, is but a small and easy
part of the problem. Bringing bees
through the winter will not in itself
accomplish the main object of the
preparation period, that Of securing
colony overflowing with bees at
the time of the honey flow. In large
measure the strength of the colony
is direct gauge of the amount of
surplus secured and it is to the bee
keepers advantage to do everything
which will in any way favor rapid
brood rearing during the two months
previous to the main flow This
means not only that bees must be
wintered but thew must be in such
condition in the fall that spring will
find them ready and able to undertake
this tremendous increase in popula-
ton. ~
1t will be seen, therefore, that the
preparation Of bees for the harvest

and the people have long ears"
One thought can comfort those that
love the dear people. If their ears
are really long enough, il they are
really such asses as to spend their
hundreds of millions rebuilding broken
down railroads, and allow those rail
roads to be handed back rebuilt to
the private owners, then the dear
long cared people get exactly what
they deserve.

donkeys experiment with donkey own

If the dear people are so feeble
minded as to tax themselves to the

Only by going into politics could this
change have been secured. The Sc
lection Of the candidates was a wise
one. and after January next, real
farmers will be reflecting real farm
problems on the college board.
The result should show farmers two
things: First, that the federation of
the farm organizations on matters
they agree upon makes most power
full organization and second, the CIR
CARNATIONS amount to nothing unless
the leaders plan out a definite pro-
gram and then go after it in a practi-
cal way.
Now let farmers get busy on the
state warehouse proposition for its
submission to the people.

These soldiers need not think that

because an American community
would see the advantage Of an i'm

the French people, used to old world

YORK AND MARK TWAIN.

From the Nashville Banner.
 Mark Twain's parents moved from Fentress county, Tennessee, to Missouri but short time before Mark was born, or otherwise there would be another illustrious son of the region that Ser geant York has made famous by his heroic realing with the Germans in the Argonne.
 But there was nothing especially heroic about Mark in the military line. Like many scions of southern families in Missouri he volunteered on the side of the Confederacy when the war broke out, but deserted before his command ever got into fight and went to California. There he became a news paper reporter, wrote the story of the Jumping Frog of Caliveras County and other things of rare humor and be- came a celebrity.
 It didn't pay to be a southerner in the latter sixties, when Mark was making his rise in the world, and he didn't advertise his war record or fami- ly history.
 In "The Gilded Age" book that Mark Twain collaborated with Charles Dud ley Warner and in which the immor- tai Col. Mulberry Sellers had his in- troduction to the world, he gave some picturesque descriptions of the Ten nessee region his people had come from. He described the "gander pull lngs,' etc, which were public amuse- ments there, and said when the judge was coming to hold court at James, town they turned the old SOW and pigs out of the courthouse and swept the floor.
 But when MT. Samuel Langhorn Clements had got up in the world be- cause of the rare humor in his writ ings, he was wont at times to intimate te that he had good southern blood in his veins and that his forbears had been some people,"
 There was something very distinct ly southern about Mark Twain's hu- nor. something with the "Sutt Lovin- good' simon Suggs," or Georgia Scenes touch, but a more cosmopol- itan view.
 If Mark Twain's people had deferred their westward migration a short while fentress county might have been fa- nous 90 years before Alvin Cullum York went to war.
