and let her run in. That is all the trouble 

 I have vpith the first swarm. 



If I want to double them up. I cut out all 

 ((ueen-cells of a hive whose colony has 

 swarmed, then 1 proceed in the same way 

 as I did at first; but they will fight. Sol 

 wet a cloth in water and pour on a few 

 drops of carbolic acid, and push it up in one 

 corner of the entrance, and they will quit 

 fighting. 



I sometimes have two or three swarms in 

 the air at once, but I cage each queen and 

 put her where I w'ant her to go, and in a 

 short time each will hive itself. All I have 

 to do is to wait until they go in, so I can 

 hive their queen. I have tried this for five 

 or six years, and never have any trouble. 



I never have but 36 colonies when fall 

 comes. I always cut out all queen-cells of 

 each colony the eighth day. I have never 

 lost one swarm since. I have been in the 

 bee-business 13 years. I am .58 years old, 

 and I always take care of the bees. I have 

 33 colonies. I don't know of more than one 

 dozen colonies in 15 miles besides mine. All 

 have starved to death. I bought 600 pounds 

 of sugar in the last year for my bees. I 

 have never lost but two colonies in the 

 cave in the 13 years. I tier them up in the 

 cave with all the covers off, with a cloth 

 over them. I put away 30 colonies last 

 year, and took out 19. I had 6 swarms this 

 month. Mart W. Lown. 



Coin, Iowa, May 28. 



Bees in Pretty Good Condition. 



I have 48 colonies of bees in pretty good 

 condition. I lost 8 through the winter and 

 spring. I have had only one swarm so tar.

Having a Protracted Drouth. 



We are having a protracted drouth— no 

 rain to speak of this spring. The white 

 clover and pastures are drying up for want 

 of rain. Alve Wortman. 



Monticello. Ind., June 3. 



Outlook Not Bright. 



Last year's drouth killed all the white 

 clover except a very little along the wet 

 ground, consequently we have nothing to 

 depend upon except the linden, which kept 

 our bees from starvation last year, and 

 perhaps it may again, but the outlook is 

 not bright. O. B. BarkOws.

A Good Deal of Hard Luck. 



We commenced bee-keeping five years 

 ago with 30 colonies, or rather six years 

 ago with one, which we found on a sumac 

 bush while raspberrying in Wisconsin one 

 day. My husband got it into a cracker-box, 

 tied my shawl around it, and carried it 

 home in his lap while I drove the team. We 

 have now about 60 colonies, which wintered 

 splendidly, but they do not pay as well as 

 they might if they had more care, for we 

 rent a large farm and keep only one hired 

 man. 



I have been an invalid for the past five 

 years, confined to my bed nearly all the
