Working Girl— "It takes half my spending money to get
my shirtwaists laundered. I'd do them myself, but I
can't get hot water for boiling in our boarding house.!
Anty Drudge—" Use Fels-Naptha soap, dear, and y
won't need hot water. You can do them in cold
lukewarm water. They'll be whiter and fresher than
any laundry can make them and you'll save that
money.

Do you wear white clothes all through
Spring and Summer? Makes too much
washing, you say. Not if you use
Fels-Naptha soap.
Fels-Naptha keeps white clothes fresh
and clean with little work at little cost.
You wash them with Fels-Naptha in cold
or lukewarm water without boiling and
you don't have disagreeable steaming suds.
Then your clothes wear longer if
washed with Fels-Naptha. No boiling to
weaken their fibre; no hard-rubbing to
wear and tear them.
Fels-Naptha will not harm the most
delicate fabrics. Fels-Naptha makes it
easier to wear white clothing. Be sure to
follow directions on the red and green
wrapper.
Fels-Naptha will lighten the labors of honsecleaning,
just as it does the drudgery of wash day.

BEES ON THE FARM
Article No. 11.
A series of articles on Practical
Bee Keeping.
By Joel S. Gitfillan, Newark, Del
Swarmi
•When to Expect.
"God made bees and bees made honey.
God made man and man made money:
Pride made the devil end the devil
made sin.
So God made a coal pit and put the
devil In."
If the bees would only work away
and not botheF about swarming, the
average bee man would be happy. But
Just when the bees are In the beat
condition to produce an abundance of
honey, they get crazy over swarming
and that Interferes
with the honey crop,
might be pardonable on their part if
they would only have some way of
letting the bee keeper know where
they were going to swarm. However,
while there is no positive sign to In
dicate Just when a swarm Is going out,
there aro several signs that point very
strongly to the time. In the first place,
the colony will begin the building dt
queen cells before they send out a
swarm.
most decidedly
But even this
I
And usually the queen cell
will be sealed before tho swarm Issues.
Thus the ninth day after the egg Is
deposited In the queen cell the
Is most likely to Issue, other things
being favorable. Usually, also, on the
morning of the day they are to swarm
there is little activity In the hlvo,
few bees going out or In. But tho
swarm may go out before there Is
even a trace of a queen cell; but this
Is tho exception and may be caused by
a very close and t*t day and the hiv«
standing In the sun.
Bees clustering on the outside of tho
hive is an Indication that the hive is
too full of bees or there is need of
more ventilation, but is not always
sign that they are ready to swarm with
the hive shaded from the direct rays
of the sun, and a large entrance giv
ing plenty of ventilation, the presence
of sealed queen cells Is a pretty sure
sign that a swarm may Issue any day.
The first swarm seldom goes away
far without first clustering. It has the
old queen, .and she Is heavy and soon
seeks a place to rest, but the second
ary swarms, having young queens, fre
quently go direct from the hive to the
woods. But no second swarm should
bo allowed to Issue from any hive. It
reduces the number of bees to such a
small number that they will be un
able to produce much honey. After
the first swarm Issues, open tho old
hive and cut out all queen cells but
one. This will leave them only the
one queen, and they will not swarm.
Another way Is to remove the old
hive to a new location, at least five
or six feet feet away and put the
swarm on the old stand. The bees
going out Into the fields from the old
hive on the new stand will come
back to the old stand where the swarm
Is and will strengthen It and
will thus so weaken the old
colony that It will not send out any
more swarms.
How shall we get the swarm when
it goes up on the top of a tall tree?
A swarm catcher, which Is nothing
more or less than a wire cage with a
lid hinged to It. and attached to a
pole. This Is put up to the swarm and
the swarm caught In It and the lid
brought down on a limb and Is by It
brought Into place. A pole with a cir
cular wire fastened to It and a piece
of mosquito netting In the shape of a
bag fastened to It makes a good one.
This Is brought up under the bees and
they are scraped oft the limb by the
wire and then by a half turn the wire
effectually closes the bag and the bees
can be carried to a hive and dumped
In front of It.
The clipped wing method of hiving
swarms. If you are sure to be near
when the swarms Issue you can avoid
much of the work and worry of the
swarming season by clipping the wings
of all queens. Then when the swarm
Issues, the queen, unable to fly. can
be easily found hopping about on the
hive. The bees

| will cluster, but not having the queen
with them, will soon return to the
hive again. But In the meantime the
new hive for the swarm Is brought,
and having removed the old hive to a
new location the empty hive Is put in
place and when the bees return the
Queen Is allowed to run In with them
an< ^ behold, your swarm Is hived,
There need be no fear of being
stung by the queen. You can pick her
up without fear and keep her until the
bees have discovered her absence,
when they will all return.
But everybody cannot depend upon
being near when the swarm Issues, nor
even at home at the time, and It might
not be best to clip the wings of the
queen. The swarm could not go away
but after finding that the queen could
(not go with them after several at
tempts, they would kill the queen and
then go oft with a young queen Just
hatched.
There Is no doubt that the swarms
do often cluster In places that It Is
difficult to get them Into a hive. One
of the difficult places is on the trunk
of a tree or around a large limb. It is
a comparatively easy
they are on a small limb that can be
easily cut off. or from which they can
be easily shaken, but they cannot ha
shaken off the trunk of a tree. If tho
hive can be placed so that the entrance
will be up against the bees and then
them off on to the alighting
hive, they would get
started In, and when once started the
others hear the welcome call and all
would soon find their way In.
Then occasionally we find a queen
that persists In flying back instead of
going Into the hive. In that case there
is likely to be trouble until she can be
gotten in. In probably nineteen eases
out of twenty the queen will make
haste to enter the hive Just as soon
as the bees entering give tfce usual
call, but the twentieth may give one
some trouble. Being away one day
when a swarm came out, my wife, who
usually has no difficulty :n hiving them,
had shaken tho bees down three times
and every time they had all gone back
to the tree again. She was afraid to
shake them again lest they might go

them down they took wing and start
ed for the woods. I -started after them
and kept my eyes on them as they
passed far above the tops of the trees
and then beyond the woods they kept
the even tenor of their way. I was
keeping very good pace with them
until I reached the railroad, when they
went on unimpeded, but a long freight
train that seemed to be In no particu
lar hurry kept me back. When I did
get over I went on and soon overtook
the bees along a hedge. They were
not clustering, but the leaves of the
hedge were covered with bees for a
distance of some 200 feet. They seem
ed to be only resting. X ran hack and
forth along the hedge In hopes of get
ting a glimpse of the queen. Fortu
nately my search was soon rewarded.
She was resting quietly on a leaf. I
lost no time In securing her. Then
the question arose in my mind, what
GRACE GEORGE
GROWS GRACEFUL
People, always laughed at Miss
George's Christ an name—Grace. At 20
she was 4 ft, il and tipped the Fair
banks at 310—and her intimates called
her "Gracie" and "Dolly" and such
other pet names. She often thought
that she saw a sting In those terms
of endearment and finally decided to
turn the scales of her loving friends by
springing a surprise on them. So sue
let It be known that she was going
away on a long Journey. She did
not budge from her house for 30 days,
but took religiously during that month,
three times a day and before bedtime,
one teaspoonful of the excellently ef
fective Marmola Prescription. The re
sult was she got down from 210 to 170
She never told her friends what did It,
but, credit where It is due. It was the
Marmola Prescrit, tlon:

should I do? I could go homo with tha
queen, confident that tho bees, as soon
as they discovered that the queen was
not with them, would return home.
But It was a question whether the
bees might not beat me home; In
which case they would return to their
old hive, and I would have the same
trouble another day. 1 concluded to
try to arrange It so we could all go
homo together. 1 found a piece of
mosquito netting In my pocket. I
placed the queen In that and hung It
up on a stick, and In a few minutes
the bees began clustering around the
queen. When they had all clustered 1
pulled up the stick and carried them
all home and shook them In front of
an empty hive.
Sometimes the swarm will not stay
hived, but will swarm out and leave.
There are two ways to prevent that.
One is to place an entrance guard of
perforated" zinc at the entrance—the
Iierforatlons large enough to allow tho
worker bees to pass In and out freely,
but too small for the queen to pass
through. Another way Is to take a
frame of brood from another hive and
place It In the new hive, and they
would not leave It then.
The question is sometimes asked;
"To whom does a swarm of bees be
long that clusters on the property of
another man?" They belong to the
owner from whom they came, provid
ing he can prove them to be hts bees.
