The Army in the Drum. 



A soldier sought the battlefield 



Where first in coat of blue 

 He past before the Angel Death 



In swift and stern review. 

 The broken swords were sheathed in mold, 



The rusty cannon dumb: 

 But in the tangled grass he found 



An army in a drum. 



The sticks were gone that rattled once 



Tattoo and reveille, 

 The shell that took the drummer's life 



Had burst the head in three. 

 But from the shattered sheepskin rose 



A low, continuous hum, 

 The murmur of the rank and file — 



The army in the drum. 



For there the bees had built a home 



And stored the sweets away. 

 From blossoms horn of soldier blood, 



The mingled blue and gray. 

 Where once the morning sky beheld 



The charging columns come. 

 They pitcht in peace their waxen tents — 



The army in the drum ! —Criterion. 



Trying to Keep Down Increase. 



I have 47 colonies of bees. White clover 

 has been abundant for two weeks, but it 

 didn't secrete nectar until the last H or 6 

 days. I fenced in a square lot with barbed 

 wire this spring, out in open ground, and 

 moved my bees to it — about 100 yards. I 

 never lost any by their going back to the 

 old yard, but all in the center of the new 

 yard are weak and haven't started work in 



Better than Ever

 the up-to-date bee-keeper, all goods manufac- 

 tured by The A. I. Root Co., shipt to me in car
