THE SUGAR QUESTION.

Referring to telegrams from Washington giving a synopsis of Chemist Wiley's report of experiments in sugar making from sorghum, there appears to be a remarkable stultification, gross ignorance, and egregious incompetency, for although he says that 80 or 90 pounds of sugar may be expected, yet he realized only 19 pounds in his experiments. Side by side with this report I have Prof. Swenson's report of the campaign of 1888 in which he realized an actual output

of 80 pounds, notwithstanding he was compelled to run for syrup alone one-fourth of the season because of the failure on the part of a centrifugal manufacturer to furnish new centrifugals according to agreement. I am forced to the conclusion that the reports of Wiley emphasize into truthfulness the following charges made against him by Hon. Floyd King in Congress as found in page 2982 Congressional Record.

THE SWARMING OF BEES.

Within the last forty years
apiculture has taken
stride in advance of its previous
a mighty
known history. The interior of a
beehive is no longer a mystery, for
with the movable frame beehive
the brood, the combs, the queen
and all her subjects can be exam-
ined; and if anything is wrong with
the colony of bees it can be righted.
The honey can be taken from the
combs without resorting to the cruel
process of killing the industrious
little workers with brimstone; but
for that plan the day has passed,
and the apiarist has learned to man-
ipulate his bees with success and
profit. Many persons undertake to
manage an apiary without studying
the habits and workings of the bees.
Hence they make a failure of their
work, blame the present mode of
handling bees, and say the old plan
is the best.

Now I wish to give the plan of artificial swarming, or dividing, that After stating, "This immense I have used for many years, and European sugar interest, represent- which I have found to work well. ing two-thirds of the world's entire All the hives that are used in the production, makes no secret of its apiary I have of the same size, and hostility towards our sugar growers, when I find the drones flying or of its desire to crush us out," he around from the hives I know further states: "The chief chemist that the bees are preparing to of the Agricultural Department swarm.

repeated through all the hives, until the queen cells have been used or all the bees divided. The second day is the best time to give them the queen cells. They will accept of them and not destroy them; cut the piece of comb containing the queen cell wedge shape, and insert it within the comb of the newly-divided swarm, about the centre.

My advice is, do not try to get rich in one season by dividing your bees too much, or before they are a good strong colony you get two ready to be divided. If you divide halves; if you divide a half or poor colony you get two quarters, and thus injure them. My plan has been to keep them strong.

By taking out two or three frames from each live in making your divisions you do not discourage the bees, and they work with a will to replace what you have taken away, You can repeat this dividing about every two weeks, if desired, without injury. If you do not remove the old queen from the hive you will find a lot of new worker comb built in the frames of the hives. Do not allow drone comb to be in the centre of the hives containing hybrids or dark queens, but raise the rones from

by so doing you will improve or keep your best Italian queens; them pure. It is quite necessary to have a bright yellow banded drone to mate with the young yellow Italian queen, or your stock of bees will soon run down to hybrids, which are very cross and will sting more than the pure Italians. If you have black drones in your apairy,at even ing contract the entrance with a piece of tin in order to keep the drones in the hive, allowing the bees to go in and out. This they can do through an eighth of an inch opening. There are other modes of dividing, but I have found this plan work very well, and I can control the swarming to any required number of new swarms.

Natural swarming is all right if you only knew what time the bees were going to swarm, and where they were going to cluster, on what tree or bush, or whether they had concluded to go to the mountains, for it is very provoking to remain at home several days, or even weeks, watching for the bees to swarm. They fly in and out, or cluster on or under the hive for days. Then all of a sudden out they come and away they go.

This will receive all the bees that are out at work, and ensure a very strong and populous swarm. The bees from the different hives will soon become reconciled to each In an apiary of fifty to a hundred other, and, finding they have no hives, if you depend on natural queen, will commence immediately swarmingto secure your increase, you to make queen cells.

have known bees to be placed in an empty hive, remain two days in their new home, then swarm out again, and leave for parts unknown. Therefore I think that a certainty

is better than an uncertainty, and if the artificial swarming is done in a proper manner, and at the right time, it is a certainty.

To secure or hive a natural swarm of bees, I would say when the bees are discovered in a cluster, on a bush or on the low limb of a tree, sweeten some water and sprinkle them thoroughly with it; then spread a sheet upon the ground or on a table.

In handling or working with bees you must move slowly and without fear or hurry, and do not squeeze them more than you can possibly help. Much more could be said upon this subject, but this will suffice for the present.

"Liberal" party, and considerable
change has occurred with regard to

the session of the Ogden City
Council, held April 5:

E. H. Anderson and about 25
others stated they had good reason
to believe there was a house of ill-
repute in a certain part of the city,
and asked that it be abated and the
sign taken down. Councilor Blais-

dell stated that the owner of the
house had rented it knowing what
he was doing, but if there was a law
to compel them to leave he would
be in favor of putting them out at
once. Mr. Heywood, city attorney,
stated that a man could do as he
pleased with his property. The law
for the people in that vicinity was
the same for them as for others and
the courts were open for complaints.
Referred to Marshal Metcalf.
