Cutting a Queen Bee^s AVing. 



Dallas I^ore Sharp describes a meth- 

 od ol" i»reventing bees from -swarming, 

 in the Country Calendar for May. the 

 first issue of the new outdoor monthly 

 published by the Review of Reviews 

 Book Company. 



Keep your queens clipped. Lay 

 aside your sentiments, your feans of 

 the Society for the Prevention of Cru- 

 elty to Animals, your ideas that it 

 hurts her. your fears of killing her 

 —and get your ,scis-sors. Seize her any 

 way. She won't sting. Get her by 

 one wing (if you can't do better) and, 

 holding her gently against the frame, 

 snip off one wing. This won't stop 

 the swarming, but it will keep the 

 becvs from absconding, for the, swarm 

 won't go off wirhout the queen while 

 you are away. So you are often able 

 to induce them to call olT the stt'ike 

 and go Ijack to work. 



Clip your queens then, give the bees 

 room, give them shade at the hottest 

 hours if necessary, ,shake them if they 

 show signs of swarming and keep the 

 colonies strong. — Newspaper. 



About Sweet Clover. 



The Times occasionally hears men- 

 tion of a plant which must resemble 

 sweet clover as growing in the vicin- 

 ity, and it would like further informa- 

 tio.n. Sweet clover is a lucerne, not 

 of very great value as compared with 

 alfalfa for feed. It blooms profusely 

 a l)right yellow flower, and is one of 

 the best honey yielders in the world. 

 It is persistent, though not a perennial, 

 seeding itself freely in the second 

 year. It i-s a wonderful fertilizer, fill- 

 ing the soil about its roots with nitro- 

 genous l)acteria of the same kind as 

 highly recommended by the Agricultur- 

 al Department. In the northwest it is 

 used to redeem barren spots of .sand 

 by being simply planted and allowed 

 to stand three years, when the ground 

 is p'owfHl and found to be remarka- 

 bly fertile for any kind of crop grown 

 in that section, especially potatoes and 

 sugar beets. If the plant is really to 

 be found here, it should be widely 



spread. If not here, efforts shoul 

 be made to introduce it. Ais a satire 

 of supply for bees alone it woul 

 prove profitable. — Tampa Times.
