started to build combs on the bottom of the 

 hive-cover, just as the Bee Journal said it 

 would. If we would always pay attention to 

 instructions we could find the gaps, and often 

 avoid difficulty. The 4-frame nuclei gave a 

 tuper of honey each, and those that were re- 

 turned to the old hives were in line shape for 

 business, and attended to it, too. 



When Dr. Miller told us about drowoing of 

 iiueens to insure safe introduction, I tried it 

 in less than an hour's time after reading it, 

 and found it practical in each trial except 

 one, and that one was a virgin queen, and she 

 "came up missing." This is the way I did 

 the thing: 



Each was a laying queen, and was placed in 

 a spiral cage and closed in, then the cage was 

 placed in a vessel of water, deep enough to 

 cover the cage. A comb with bees was out 

 and ready for her. After a minute or so I 

 released her among the bees, and sometimes, 

 if not stupefied, she would start off on a trot 

 with the bees after her; then she was given 

 another immersion, and when released she 

 would stagger and cling to the combs with 

 all the " go " washed out of her, and would 

 stand still and let the bees lick her off. The 

 frames were then placed in the hive, and the 

 next day she would be found busy laying. We 

 had a lot of queenless colonies on which we 

 tried the hurry-up plan, but had, instead, hur- 

 ried itdown, where I had run hatching queens 

 in 1 would find them removing queen-cells. I 

 wanted to save time, and used these queens to 

 do so, but over 50 percent of these " run ins" 

 "came up missing." This has bothered me 

 for several years, and each lime 1 laid it to 

 the kingbirds taking the queen when on her

"What Happened to Ted" 



BY ISABELLKIHORTON. 



This is a true story of the poor and unfor- 

 tunate in city life. Miss Horton, the author, 

 is a deaconess whose experiences among the 

 city poverty stricken are both interesting and 

 sad. This particular short story — 60 pages, 

 5x6% inches, bound in paper cover— gives 

 somewhat of an insight into a little of the 

 hard lot of the poor. Price, postpaid, only 10 

 cents (stamps or silver.) Address,
