deeper. This gives more room
for the brood and there is no reas-
on for the queen to come into the
upper supers, With this arrange
Iment only two supers are needed
for an ordinary hive.
Some of these hives are used in
the apiary house which houses
eight colonies. The entire hive
sets inside of the small building,
leaving only a small passageway
for the bees to go TO and from the
hive. The great advantage Of this
method is the eveness of tempera-
ture, In hot weather the hive is
never warm as those out in the op-
en- and they don't get cold enough
lin winter to require packing.
Whether this method has any adj
Ivantages in the way of an increas-
ed production or not is hard to
say, but one of the colonies in the
house last year produced a sur
plus of 260 pounds of honey.
AS an example of what bees
would do if all the colonies We're
TO produce as well as this one, Mr..
Harmeling gave the following fig
lures; Fifteen dollars would rep
resent the original value of the
colony, but this was returned by
a new colony which had the same
valuation. The 260 pounds Of
honey sold at 90 cents pound, or
$50. This, plus the valuation Of
the new colony, made a total Of
$67, all Of which came from the
original Investment of $15. Even
at 200 pounds per colony the re-
turns amount to $55, which repays
the owner well for the time spent
in caring for the bees and gather
inc the honey.
Mr.. Harmeling told how the
bees were working late into the
winter this year, due to the late
ness of the season and many of
them We're coming in from the
| field laden with pollen found in
some of the late blooming fora,

making himself a name by his clever
ness.
1t was noticed some time ago that
he had formed the habit of searching
for coins and picking them up. The
next step was that he was taught to
put them in collecting box for the
benefit of the local hospital.
Now people give him their assist
ance by dropping coins before him, and
these he picks up and takes to the box.

which people have encouraged him,

NO PEACH CROP FAILURE
IN FOURTEEN YEARS


The fruit growers in Western
Washington who plant a peach
tree, usually do it to see if by any
chance they may have a few
peaches survive the cool nights
and frosts and ripcn for table
use, says the Washington Farmer
of February 8, but they seldom
realize their hopes. There is a
district, however, in King county.
which seems to be particularly adj
apted to the growing of peaches
since il has a milder climate and
ideal soil for this fruit. That dis
trict is Vashon island in Puget
Sound between Seattle and Ia
coma.
One of the veteran peach grow
ers on the island is Peter Erick-
son, located at the Center district
near the town of Vashon, at the
north end of the island, He has
raised peaches for IA years and
never had a crop failure. The
first planting on this place was a
| iive-acre tract put in as filters for
apple and pear trees in order to
bring in cash crop until the
main orchard was old enough to
bear commercial crop.
1T is partly the soil and part
I ~ the climate and air drainage
that we have here on the island, "
said Mr.. Erickson, THAT enables
us to grow peaches every year.
have come to the conclusion that
peaches pay better than apples be-
cause they come at a time when
there is not so much local fruit on
the market. Practically all our
crop is sold for the home mark
cts.
"The early varieties pay best
and they seem to bear heavier
crops than do some of the later
ones. The only objection to our
peaches is that they are white
peach instead of yellow one.
There is slight prejudice against
the white peach since so many of
the yellow varieties have been sold
on the market for Gamers i'll the
late summer months. These, of
course, are shipped in and they
come at later time than do our
early varieties.
eve have had better returns
from the Carman, which is one of
our best and earliest varieties. The
Greensboro is another good va
riety and so is the Admiral Dewey
and the Belle of Georgia. The lat
ter is peach that has a very high
favor and is grown by many of
the orchardists here on the island.
1t is freestone, but has the white
color, as do all of the early varie-
ties, For canning I prefer the Ad-
miral Dewey to any of the others.
The Alexander is another good
peach and is one of the earliest.
"Some of the trees are still
growing in fine shape, but most
have been taken out to give room
for the pears which were planted
as the main orchard, Some of the
oldest trees have been cut back
to the original trunk and | will
try to get them to grow new tops
and prune them up like new tres.
They will. of course, make more
rapid growth than would a new
tree, since the root systems are al
ready established"

THE ROBIN HOOD
OF MEXICO.

A picturesque figure passed in
to history. The Robin Hood of
Mexico has reaped what he sowed.
Francesca Villa met his death as
he has so often administered death
to others. Half devil, half saint /;
illiterate but intelligent; cruel and
tender as the moods followed one
another
Six shots pierced Pancho's body.
He dies with his boots on. The
friend of the peon passes into his
tory, his fame or illfame to be
handed down from Mexic father
to son, in song and legion.
Villa the mountain man, with
ability to ride, shoot and swear,
with a peculiar complex, the great
weakness of which was an uncon-
trollable temper, had many enemies
probably hundreds of men had
sworn to take his life--and accord
ing to his friends, he had no enemy
so bitter as Francisco Herrera.
Villa is said practically to have ex-
terminted the Herrera family, prom
inent in Mexico.
To fiery temper is attributed
his downfall, and the boys of the
Sierra Madres of western Chihau-
hau who grew to be the most motor
ious figure in all Mexico, often adj
mitted this weakness. From a sane
man, laughing, joking with his
friends, his eyes would become
blood shot, he would pitch his voice
several tones higher and he would
pull his pistol and fire at the slight
est provocation.
A friend of the poor, this Robin
Hood would capture town, open
stores, give people leave to help
themselves and pour money upon
them and in the hearts of these su-
perstitious poor people of Mexico,
the magic name of "Villa" will go
on living as half saint, half devil.
His problematical place in Mexi-
can history alone remains to be
written.

THE PLAY

Running the bases backward has
several times caused confusion IN
major league games.
In major league game several
years ago with runners on first and
third, the runner on tbrst stole
second, with hope Of drawing a
tarow from the catcher. The
catcher refused to make play on
the runner.
After two balls had been
pitched to the batsman, the runner
Oh second made break for first
base. When the catcher received
ire pitch, runners were again O.
I first and third.
The ball was thrown to second,
but the umpire gave no decision.
Then it was thrown to first, and
Immediately the runner dashed for
second. The ball was thrown to
second, and the runner on third
dashed for home, but was out at
the plate on a close decision.
What are the rights Of the base
runner on such a play?

HIGH TIME

HIGH TIME
When you're tired of work and you're tired of play,
When you're eepess by night and you're seepes by day,
And when you're convinced that in every old way
There's something wrong with creation;
When you pest to your children and wife,
When everything strs you to anger and strife,
and all you is the dark side of life,
It's time that you took vacation.
When you start to think, ''I'm downtrodden wight
Ana there's simply nobody treating right"
when all of the world seems to ride you for spte
And life is long aggrevaton;
When little things bother and big things appalI,
When most Of your thoughts of wormwood and gall
And you fed up and displeased with it all,
It's time that you took vacation.
When rain makes you ugly and sun makes you sore
When you and your vicuas don't jibe any more
When all of your fellow mems ways you depore
And view them with indignation;
When you've all the symptoms of sullen despair,
Stop crashing your teeth and quit tearing your hair
Snap out of it, beat-go on get the air!
It's time that you took vacation.

TUskEGEE HOSPITAL AGAIN.

1t might be we'll to consider
just here why it is that there has
been raised the objection to
negro staff of physicians being
in charge of the negro hospital
at Tuskegee.
Really, there should be ne
gro staff in charge-but there
should also be negro nurses, aad
in fact a negro personnel all the
way through. 1t does seem "a
pity that this cannot be. In sim
pie justice to the negro, he
should be given opportunities ~
develop, and when there is such
an opportunity as the hospital for
negro veterans as Tuskegee al
ford, why should it be taken
away from him
AS we understand it, the ne
gro's Republican friends Of the
North rob him Of the opportuY.f-
ty as regards the Tuskegee hos
pital. AS is generally known.
the Republicans Of the North
haven't much sense about the ne
gro in the South-1r rather they
play politics with him and care
little about what really becomes
Of him. If the negro hospital at
Tuskegee, a federal institution, is
put under the charge Of a negro
staff, what guarantee has the
South that White nurses from
the North viii not come down
and work under the staff? None
at all! And for such TO be will
cause trouble as surely as the
sun rises in the east and sets in
the west.-Macon Telegraph.

The INTERPRETATION

several years ago, When TINS play
uation was rather vague.
The only way the runner could
came up, the rule covering the sit
be retired at that time was by
touching him with the ball, be-
tween the bases or while standing
on first base.
Now it is different. 1t is pos
sible to retire such runner by mere
ly throwing the ball to the base he
vacated, or by touching the run
ner with the ball before he can re-
gain the base to which he was legal
" entitled,
