Service BRINGS Increase.

Two beautiful little springs lived
on the mountain side and drew their
crystal water from the same source ;
yet as they grew older they grew very
different. for the one insisted on run
ming out of its banks and trickling
down the mountain. Soon flowers
sprang up all along the way and beau
tiful ferns and moss lined its banks.
Its water was always cool and re-
freshing, and travellers always paused
to chat with it--but its neighbor re-
fused to leave its own shaded spot and
soon became stagnant and sour and
green. No one ever came near 1t save
one old frog, and he was 'croaker."

HOW TO PREVENT
BEES SWARMlNC
Advice and Suggestions on Sub
iect Given by Professor
Conrad of Clemson.
BROOD CHAMBER TOO SMALL
Emigration Of Honey Gatherers Can
Be Greatly Reduced by Proper
Management-1ow Swarm May
Be HIved to Best Advantage.

One of the problems of the beekeep-
er. says Prof. A. f. Conradi. entomoIo-
gist, is how TO prevent bees from
swarming. The following questions
and answers taken from information
card No 9. published recently by the
extension service OF Clemson college.
give in brief form expert advice and
suggestions on this subject:
]. Why do bees swarm?
The bee colony is divided into
workers, drones Cor male bees), and
queen. Normally the queen alone
lays eggs. and to perpetuate their race
new colonies are necessary. This is
their natural way of increase.
. What are conditions that induce
swarming?
(a) The brood chamber may be too
small allowing too little egglaylng
space. (b) There may be too little
storage space. (c) There may be lack
of ventilation. I'D There may be too
many drones.
g. At what season Is swarming most
frequent?
Mostly i'm early spring but it may
occur at any time during honey flow
If conditions named in No. are not
corrected.
4. Can swarming be entirely pre-
vented?
No: but It can be greatly reduced
by proper management
8. Why should swarming be pre-
vented as far as possible?
To keep the working force together.
One hive full of bees is worth more
than any number of weak colonies.
6. Are there two queens IN the hive
at swarming time?
Generally not. The young queen
has not yet come out of the queen
cell. The old queen leaves with the
first swarm.
7. How may swarming be reduced
or possibly prevented?
(a) If the brood chamber becomes
crowded, add another brood chamber.
CD If bees cluster out. 1t may be due
to a crowded condition. or lack of ven
tilation. Ventilate the hive and add
supers when necessary. If possible
remove drone comb and also queen
cells.
s. How may swarm be hived to
best advantage?
(a) When the swarm has settled
shake or brush II into the new hive.

PRODUCE BEST cAULIFLoWER
Tie Leaves over Head TO Protect II
From Sun or Weather-Three
Cuttings Of Crop.

When the caulihower head is about
the size of a dollar. the leaves should
be tied or twisted over the head TO
protect 1t from sun and weather. This
method should produce a perfectly
white product. The leaves should he
so tied that snow or rain that enters
may find ready exit at the bottom,
as an accumulation of moisture on
the head or curd will cause dark spots
and eventually ruin the product
There are usually three cuttings OF
the crop. If the earliest heads are
tied with string, the second with
raffia and the last have the leaves
broken over. the grower will be aided
at cutting time and will not have to
examine all the plants.

From the New York Times.
 N NY one who has read "The Four
 A\ Horsemen of the Apocalypse" and G @A Blood and Sand" knows that Vicente Blasco Ibanez is a born reporter with a gift of making others see what he has observed, as in moving picture. The readers of the New York Times are fortunate to have the brilliant Span ish novelist as their interpreter of rev. olutionary Mexico, once more the the- atre of events that have their humorous and romantic as well as their tragic as- poets. No one could present them With mere realism and sympathy.
 "I am just back from Mexico, where I spent month and half, said Ibanez, on Sunday, in the first of series of articles that are sure to be read with interest by everybody who wants to ""- derstand what is going on in Mexico. The presence of Ibanez in the capital not fortuitous. it may be supposed. He arrived on the scene before the curtain went up, as if he had divined what was to happen, or had received an intimatlon, and he stayed until the end of the last act, when President Carranza evacuated the city with a large force of weh equipped troops, to fight his way to Vera Cruz.
 In the City of Mexico Senor Ibanez was not a stranger. His name had magic that opened all doors to him. Pres
