gins to bring other bees back with 
her, sometimes two, sometimes more; 
whereupon the bee-box is left to stand 
until quite a swarm has accumulated 
(usually about an hour’s time is re- 
quired for this), in which case the bee- 
hunter should search the surrounding 
woods in the vicinity along the “line” 
for hollow trees, stumps, logs, etc., in 
an effort to find the hive. 
Bees usually “hive-up” in hollow 
trees; but an ideal bee-tree, one situ- 
ated upon the south side of a rocky 
knoll in a semi-shady, way-side field, is 
quite a rarity. However, should the 
bee hunter find that his bees are hived 
in a tree of this type, with the gather- 
ings of a fruitful honey season at their 
disposal, he need have no fear, for their 
safety is assured. Should the reader 
be interested in the hiving (trans 
ferring) of wild honey bees (removing 
them from their wild abode to the 
domestic hive, which act is a branch of 
apiculture), I have fully explained in 
my complete work on bees the various 
operations embodied in the same.

Yes, there it goes again! Yelpers! for 
no one can mistake the metallic note 
of the big yellow leg. There they are, 
six of them, in range of the lighthouse 
and heading this way. They are pretty 
high up but in answer to our whistling 
invitation to visit us they make a sud- 
den dive, then on bent wings and legs 
hanging, come beautifully up to the 
stool. We down three of them, I mak- 
ing a bad miss with my second barrel; 
but I soon make up for it by tying a 
big jack curlew up in knots as it tried 
to pass way overhead and he comes 
spinning down with a splash. There 
seems to be a flight of plover on and 
we take heavy toll of a big bunch that 
swing over our stool picking up seven 
of these fine birds. 
The birds kept us busy all morning, 
what with rounding up cripples and 
trying to call other birds in, many of 
which, however, pass too far off with- 
out noticing our stool. But by 11 
o’clock we have forty birds, so feeling 
happy and hungry we open our lunch 
boxes and set to. We were “goin’

THE NAVAJO RUG 

AVAJO Indian Rugs are woven by hand of sheep’s wool in fascinating designs 
and colorings. They are the only hand wrought floor coverings made by a 
primitive people in the United States. 
The weaving is done by the women and young girls, the latter being taught some of the steps as 
early as four years old. The great fear of the old Chiefs is that as civilization encroaches upon the 
tribe, the art of weaving will gradually die out, and every effort is being made to perpetuate the 
pore eable artistry and crafthood that has made the Rugs of the Navajos superior in some ways 
o Orientals. 
Navajos are alike on both sides; they do not curl; easy to clean; wear for more years than any 
other floor covering you can name; inexpensive. Just the attributes you are looking for in an ideal 
rug. The large majority of rugs come in a combination of gray, black, white and red, with either 
the red, white or gray predominating, For living-rooms and porches gray backgrounds are generally 
the best; for bedrooms, bathrooms and camping blankets, get white backgrounds; and for dens, 
cozy corners, couch covers, etc., the red backgrounds give that fine touch of color that warms the 
heart and lends a distinctive air to the scheme of decoration.
