irritated as agin the goats, and began show- 

 in ' it right away. That was just where a 

 doggasted lot of stingin' bees, knowin ' noth- 

 in' about goats and hot headed both ends, — 

 opened up the wrong package for oncet, so 

 they did. A goat ain't much for turnin' one 

 cheek to be stung just after the other one 

 has been stung. Not so anybody can notice 

 it he ain 't. He is just as peaceful as any- 

 body else till he ain 't so and when he ain 't 

 he ain 't nowise that way. He 's for just 

 plain and unendin' war then. He's a good 

 shot, too. Any of you readers that's ever 

 been standin ' Ijack and more to him trustin ' 

 in his peacefulness when he has suddenly de- 

 clared war in his heart without givin ' due 

 notice, know whether he can hit a stationary 

 mark or not. Well, them hives was station- 

 ary. The two goats, chained up as they were, 

 began doin ' team work on 'cm, first takin ' 

 the one they had tipped over and whose bees 

 had commenced the row. Holtermann says 

 it was just as pretty work as ever you see. 

 They went over the top side and side, and 

 struck that first hive with that jump-and- 

 side-curve swing of theirs kerphmk! Well, 

 sir, all that was left of that hive was some 

 disjointed boards, smashed combs, smashed 

 frames, foozled brood et cettery, and about 

 50,000 thousand of the most surprised bees 

 in North Ameriky. By gosh, they were sur- 

 prised! They weren't lookin ' for no such re- 

 sponse as that to their humble efforts. They 

 never afore had got any such complete re- 

 sults as that and so promptitudinously. 

 Neither moreover and likewise had they 

 ever seen the game played that way before. 

 They just seemed to lay off and begin ex- 

 aminin ' one another 's stingers for each other 

 to see if they were real stingers any more. 

 But did them goats hesitate? They did not. 

 They had enlisted for the entire duration of 

 hostilities, seemin 'ly, and in just plain busi-

The Simple Problem That ^ Much The simple problem (yet often | 



A missed) that presents itseli to every m 



beekeeper is the buying of queens. "Easy," you say, 'any one can do that." It is true | 



every one CAN buy queens; BUT DOES EVERY ONE GET GOOD QUEENS? And § 



if you don't. What HAPPENS? Try |
