Mrs. Smart had studied up on par

regular business meeting OF the club

T omorroW,

How sweet consolation there Is In
that little word tomorrow! The
poets have given it an unduly melan-
choly unexpectedly because "sor-
row" and borrow" are the only ready
rhymes for 1t. You can never trust
poet to tell the truth when he is
pinched for rhymes.
For poor, easygolng humanity ITO
morrow" solves all problems. Tomor-
row 1--WE trustfully say the shirts will
come back from the laundry; we will
write that letter to Bill; we will give
up smoking; We will be brave enough
not to temper our cold bath with
warm water. Tomorrow, after we
have had refreshing sleep, we will
compose the immortal poem; we will
Iefashion our life on an austere,
reasonable philosophy; we will get our
hair cut; we will astonish the boss.
Humanity must be fond of tomor-
row, because there Is always so much
work being saved for that occasion.
He that works tomorrow will tn-
umph yesterday.
1t Is sad to reflect that for each Of
us there is coming the day with no
tomorrow.-New York Evening Post.

The Heartless Insurance Man

An official Of New York life
insurance association tells of an
incident that came within the
experience Of one of that COM
pany's adjusters.
A small policy was due a
woman by reason Of her hus-
bands death. AS there were GER
tain formalities of an unusual
sort connected with this case, the
adjuster called in person upon
the widow to hand over the sum
due. When these formalities had
been met and the money had
been paid, the agent took occa-
sion to say:
Il am very sorry to hear of
your misfortune, madame.
Whereupon the woman's eyes
flashed and she responded:
"Ain't that jest like you in
surance menu You're ali the
same-always sorry when a poor
woman gets a chance at little
money!"

(2l2 dcgrees) to kill them. The
larvae will live in the cells until
about the time the bees seal them
and then die in the cell. If we
stick tooth pick in one Of these
larvae and draw it out there will
be string Of tissue like thin
indian rubber adhering to it
stretching out two Or three in
ches long.
In European foul brood the
larvae die in the cells usually
before they are sealed over and
they do not have that rubber-like
consistency. When afflicted with
this kind of brood the equipment
and combs may be saved. 1t is
only necessary to cage the queen
for ten days or two weeks, when
the bees will have cleaned up
and thrown out the dead larvae.
This trouble has no persistent
spores.
In American foul brood, how
ever, the treatment must be diff
ferent. A new clean hive must
be furnished. The bees shaken
off the combs in front of the new
hive, and the old combs melted
into wax, the frames burned and
the infected hive singed to
brown by a blow torch or burn
ed out with kerosene.
Mrs. e. II. Gorsuch has given
us permission to tell how she
Jared with this trouble. She
discovered that there was some
thing wrong with her bees. Ed
Earth was called for a diagnosis.
Ed has had experience. He pro-
nounced all her colonies affected
it'll American foul brood.
Mrs. Gorsuch is progressive and
thorough in everything she I'M
dortakes. The bees have been
"shook' as they say. That is
each colony has been furnished
with a clean hive and a new set
Of combs of new foundation.
Where the infection came from
no one can tell. Probably from
some neighbor hive by a robber
black bee. Ed Earth did the
transferring.
1t is we'll known that black
and hybrid bees show little Or
no resistance to the attacks of
foul brood while pure Italians
do. Anyone keeping bees in any
thing except on movable combs
is violating the state law and
menacing his ncighbors bees.

frames, Italianize them and they
will bring you some honey and

BEES AND FOUL BROOD

for nothing and board themselves
except the honey bees. Nothing
is sweeter than honey and the

Modern dietctists say that honey
is most wholesome food and
even has many medical virtues.
We should therefore take good
care Of our bees. No stock on
the ranch will pay a larger div
ldend on the investment and
labor employed. We may safely
figure it 500 per cent after the
initial equipment.
While the labor connected with
the care of bees is very little
compared with the care of other
stock on the ranch, it is abso-
iutcly necessary to manage them
