cents for extracted, and they come to the 

 house for it. • 



I think that bees can be kept from swarm- 

 ing by giving them enough room and keep- 

 ing the brood-chamber from getting 

 crowded, and I think I shall take a great 

 deal of interest in trying to keep my 

 queens from coming out next season, and 

 if I am successful next year I can find out 

 by my young queens whether it is possible 

 to breed out the swarming instinct.

Every pathway hath some brambles. 



Every rose hides some sbKi-p thorn, 

 Every sunbeam creates sbadows, 



Every heart sometimes is torn. 

 Every joy will has'e an endlnfr. 



Every soul have some regret. 

 There would never be tomorrow 



If to-day had no sunset. 



You win find the grandest rivers 



Never flow etralKht to the sea. 

 Many mountains rise before them. 



Yet they slog on merrily. 

 Mountains cannot stop the rivers; 



They but turn and onward go. 

 Winding through the verdant lowlands. 



In a ceaseless overflow. 



Heed the lesson Nature teaches— 



Pain and pleasure brothers aie. 

 He that hatb abiding courage 



Finds the gates of joy ajar. 

 Only In the world ceUstlal 



Can we hope for perfect bliss. 

 And he only will attain It 



Who acts manfully in tnis.
