Bees object to too much lIght being cast on their private doings, and will quit a hive if to frequently dis- turbed. _ Take a May morning, about 10 o'clock, go ' into the apple orchard of a farm whereon bees are cared for, and if you are fortunate 0M/ugh to fincl a swarm you will sae a black object which looks very much like a large thine pudding very likely hanging from a limb of an old apple tree. In swarming bees oling to each other by their legs; each bee 'with its two forelegs clinging in two hinder legs of the one gbove At. In this way as wavy as 20,000 bees nifty be clinging together and yet they hang so freely that a bee, even from quite tho center of the swarm, can dis- engage herself from her neighbors and pass through to the outeide of the cluster when- ever she 'wishes. If these buy were left to theraseives they would find a home after a time in a hollow tree, or under the roof of a house, or le some other cavity, and begin to build their honey- comb there. But not wishing to lose their honey we -will bring a hive, and holding it .under the swum), shake the'bough gently so that the bees will fall into it, and cling to •the sides as we turn it over on a piece of °leao linen on the stand where the hive is to be. 13efore five minutes are over the bees have begun to disperse and to make arrangments In their now home. The drones, or male bees, which are larger and of a darker color than the rest, de no work, depending on the others to wait on them and feed them, The Queen be is the blackest of all, and has a longer body and shorter wings. She is Deo mother of the hive and often lays as high as ZOO eggs a day in the wax cells 'which the worker bees have built for that purpose. The wax cells of the honeycomb are con- structed ot material made by the worker bee Melt. This little bee has eight little wax .pookets under her abdomen, which fill up through a process of digestion in the bee's ascend stomach, or when the bee sucke the honey drop from the flower it is drawn into 4 first stomach, or honey bag, to be emptied later into the wax cella in the hive prepared for its reception. So, when a bee wants to make wax it hangs quietly for 24 hours, and In that thno the oontente ot the honey bag are absorbed and digested by the bee's gecond 'atomaolt and pass into the eight little pockets in the form of wax. Ji3 fast as the eggs aro deposited in the cells prepared tor them they are taken to °barge by what are called the nursing bobs, en two or throe days each egg has become a tiny maggot or larva, and the nursing bees Put into its oell a mixture of pollen and honey whfoh they have prepared in their own raouths, thus making kind of sweet bath in Whieh the larva lies. In five or six days tho larva grows so fat upon this that it nearly fills up the cell, and then the bees seal up the mouth of the cell with a thin Cover of wax, made of little rings with a tiny hole in the center. As soon as the larva is covered in it beglne to give out from its underlie a whitish, silk- en film, made of two tee °ads of silk glued together, and with this it epins a covering or cocoon all around itself, and so it remaine tor about 10 days more. At last, just 21 days after the egg was laid, the young bee is quite erfect, and begins to oat her way through th cocoon and ;mon Ild, and scrambles out of her oell. After 24 hours' attention from the nursing boo she is ready to go to work With the rest. After all the worker -eggs aro laid, the Queen bee begins to lay, ha some rather large cells, eggs from which drones, or male bees. Will grow up in about 20 days.

Acorn -Fed Hog of the South Makes the Best Ham, Experts Say. A Chicago packer who knows the meat business from ranch to restaurant has surprised some people by the statement that the prize corn -fed hogs of the west that figure in the county fairs and look so impressive in the pictures are not nearly so legeily esteemed by the con- sumer as the acorn -fed porker of Vir- ginia and the south. "Lean and. hungry" as any Cassius, the southern razorback learns early to shift for himself and pick up the best morsels from the world of food. The razor back can not lay claim to long and lordly pedigree and does not get his name itt the registry books or his pic- ture in the farm journals. No stall -fed life of ease for him; no days of ease and sleep in the protected pee, rising and waking only to take his meals as the feeder urges him to take another slice. The razorbaek, in order to "save his bacon," must have a keen ear and a swift foot. Some of them develop speed Iike a, race hone and are as hard to catch as a sand -country flea,. Yet, though hit back may be so sharp it will eut through a fence rel and his sides as lean as a Kansas farmer in drouth time, the razorback has his re- ward, He feasts on the sweet and suc- culent acorns that fall from the shady oaks and drinks the pute water of &i - pe tountry streams.

To Save Trees From FrOlit, Vice 0011801 Risdorf writes that the Ex- perimentel Gardening Associetion, Frank- fort 13achserhausen, has nettle sense trials with fumigation against eight frosts which in the present season is frequent- ly very injurious. In April nearly all the trees, in the orchard were in full bloom. In expectation of night frost an experi- ment was made by fumigation with naphthalene. It was a success and the trees Were soon enveloped in dense smoke but it wee a very expensive proceeding, seven flames having el:mem-lied fifty kilo- grams of naphthalene in one hour. To envelop all the trees in smoke two hun- dred and fifty kilograms would have been barely sufficient. .A new prepara- tion of the chemical manufactory, at Floershehn -that was tried on April 30 gave a better result. The production of a comparatively large volume of dense smoke during one hour required only two kilograms. These experiments are being continued. The Skulker and the Hustler.

Mr. Mack became ieteretted some time ago in this Compound - and he was so thoroughly convinced by the astonishing results isc,coms plisbed by h, that he joined Dr. Mack in marketing the compound.

Dr. IL H. Mack's Rheumatism Compound cures the worst form of Rheumatism --promptly and permanently. It removes the cause of the disease -and tones up the whole body. It dissolves, and carries out of the system, the deposits of Uric Acid, which cause the excruciating twinges, by grating against the tissues of the joints and muscles. This Uric Acid was originally left in the blood by the kidneys failing to do their work of Mteting the poison out of the body. Dr. Mack's Compound carefully stimulates the kidneys, and puts all the other organs in good working order. Send for Dr. Mack's booklet, on Rheumatism -it will be sent free and postpaid.

Like thousands of other Nova Scotians, he is a fishermen, and is consequently exposed to all kinds ef weather, just the condition to set the rheumatic poinson in the blood at work. Mr. Schaw adds: "It is impossible to overrate the severity of the attack. The trouble was located in my back and right hip. I had to quit work and was mostly indoors. There was a time when I never expected to stand erect again, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills straightened me up again; not only that, but they raade an the strong, hearty man you see me et, - day. I can never describe the awful pain I suffered before I used these pills. I tried litany medicines and had treatment from several doctors,. but to no avail My legs became so stiff that in order to move at all I had to use crutches. Finally the doctors decided that I was incurable, and told me they could render no further assistance. I continued to suffer day and night, and then came the turning point of my life. A friend from a dis- tance came to see me, and it was from him I learned that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were a great cure for rheumatism. At once I got a supply de began to use them. The first Indication that they were helping me was when the pain grew less severe. In a few weeks more the swelling in my legs and hips began to leave, then my joints seemed to loosen up, and then it was not long until my crutches were thrown aside and I could straighten up. Then I began to go out doors and soon was able to resume my work as well as ever. Since that time I have never been troubled with Ileum- tism or lame back. I can tell you my neighbors were all astonished at my cure; they had all thought I would al- ways be a cripple. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure Rheuma- tism by going straight to the root of the trouble in the blood. They 'make new rich blood that sweeps out the poisonous acid and soothes the jangled nerves. That is how they cure all trou- bles rooted in the blood, such as anae- nee, indigestion, neuralgia, St, Vitus' dance, general weakness and the specie ailments that only girls and women folk know.
