ment will be made at a meeting to be

plied for an interest that extends up to
$1,200,000, Mr. H. M. Whitney, the presi-
dent, also wants a million, while Toronto

tended to honor those who fell in March,
1848,whioh constitute0 a political demon-

The corporation has now taken the
matter before the law, with the object of
finding out whether the police have a
right to refuse to satiation what Is wished

The pollee argued that the style of the

posed to be oonstruoted leave no doubt in
their minds that more le intended than
an entrance gate. This, of course, the
city representatives deny. •

Colonies winh young queens are less M-

with old queens,
queens reared in good, strong queenlesm
colonies are just as good as any tiaat are
reared naturally.
Whenever the bees begin to lead the
drones out or pen them off to starve they
are of no more good.
The only way to keepdrones successive-
ly for any length of time is to keep them
in queeniess colonies.
When the bees are building comb or
raising brood, it is essential that they
have plenty of water.
Every time a bee hatches it leaves a tide
lining in the cell. For this reason the cells
gradually get smaller.
