Flashlights" said Miss Berg en-
phatically. And it was flashlights that
started a carnival of self-arranged
slaughter and sent two or three
hundred children and their mothers
and teachers milling around great
glass cage in a loop department store.
Inside the showcase was glass bee
hive and swarm of sureenough bees.
The swarm belongs to the Society

nature exhibit Installed in the store. 1t
was brought from the Evanston studio
Of the society by Miss Berg
The bu2zers were lured from their
winter coma by warmth and food and
set to work making honey in the glass
cage for the instruction of public
school pupils, Photographers taking
pictures of the exhibit aroused the
swarm and hundreds began fighting.
The colony broke up into pairs which
dashed and clawed and stung until
scores lay dead on the floor.
While the excited Insects were
emerging from the hive Miss Berk
opened little door in the outer cage
and sought to close the entrance In
an instant her hand and wrist were

G0SLINGS READY TO MARKET
Advisable to Avoid Use OF Young
Stock in Raising Fowls-old
Birds Are Preferred.

Geese are birds OF long life, some.
times living fifteen to twenty years,
and gnnders nre at their best at three,
four or five years. The use of i'm.
matured young stock should be
avoided, especially for the renewal OF
breeding geese, but for the produc-
tion of early goslngs for market, 1t
Is often the custom among breeders
to use eggs from young geese, MS
these usually begin to lay earlier than
older birds. Such practice is per
fectly proper, but for breeding stock,
experienced breeders prefer older or
well mntured geese and ganders.
