ABOUT COMB BUILDING.
It Doe Not Par to Let Bees
Their Own Foundation.
The man who allows his bees to build
their own foundation is merely wasting
the time of the bees. Sometimes it
seems like spending a great deal of
money that might be saved to buy
foundation, but it is really economical
to do so. Honey comb is made of
practically pure wax. and this is, in
fac. the fat of the bees. Itisunlerthe
les of the abdomen and may be seea
there ,f .tte ia put under a glass of
very ordinary magnifying power. This
wax is pulled f ram its place by the claws
of the bees and worked into comb, and
this operation takes time that is lost
when the colony might be storing nectar
if t.ht f nimilnt.ifin Hjia hpn fnrn 1 cTiH
improve- 0 man has been able to make founda
After the - tion that is as soft and pliable as the
comb the bees make, but a pretty fair
imitation is made that answers all prac
tical purposes.
JYln?n honey comb is first made it is,
as every one knows, sweet and perfectly
palatable, but as soon as brood begins to
be grown in it, eaoh embryo .veaves a
t thin cocoon, that is never removed, and
1 the cell becomes smaller and the comb 1
darker with each succeeding brood
hatched in it. This makes the bees
grow smaller and smaller, and such
comb should be cut out and melted down
for sale before it gets too dark to find
' a place to keep them.
I Where sections are used the comb is,
; of course, removed often ?nd sold, and
! here is where the most profitable use of
' foundation comes in. Journal of Agri
culture.
WITH THE BUSY BEES.
In hiving a swarm make sure that
the queen is inside the hive.
A worker grub can be transformed in
to a queen when it is five or six days
old.
In breeding- queens-artificially it is
important to get good cells for brood of
the right age.
An absolute -requisite of successful
beekeeping is a prompt attention to all
of its varied duties.
If a colony has a young queen and is
strong in numbers it will curry out the
eggs and moths as fast as natcnea.
Bees when building comb begin at
the top and hang in heavy cluateira to
the comb until they complete it.
Never allow a swarm of bees to r
main out loiur after settling. Hive
them a soon as possible and lessen the
risk of loss.
In each family of bees there are three
distinct kinds, which differ in form,
color, structure, size, habits and func
tion. The activity of queens is governed
largely by the activity of the workers.
While the workers are storing honey
she will lay sparingly. She is stimulat
ed to lay when, all is life and activity
in the hive. St. Louis Republic

I tell you what I sold my home
When I listed it with hite & Stone.
I was feeling very blue and sad,
My wife she made me almost mad ; " "v
' She did not want on the farm to stay, - '
She wanted to sell it and move away,
So I listed it for more than a year
And stiU I found myself right here.
The agents took my place in hand
They were so sure they could sell the land. -I
sometimes think they did. not try
For they never brought a man to buy,
They gave me a wink with a knowing smile
And tried to fool me all thewhile.
With that knowing smile and wink -They
could not fool me, don't youjthink.
I saw they would i ot sell my home
So I listed it with White & Stone,
i'ou bet, I found them just aud true;
They will do your work all right for you.
They wUl always help you if they can.
They deal with vou as man with man.
They'ie always ready with good advice, -And
are not afraid to advertise.
So, if you would buy or sell a home
Just have a talk with White & Stone -

NEW PIANOS ! !
$50.00 .TO $75.00
cheaper than you cau buy them in Portland
or 01 Portland agents. We claim to sell In
struments of the same quality $50 to $75 cheaper
than any other c gents within 500 miles. This
may seem line a bold statement, but we are
prepared to back it up with incontrovertible
evidence, if given a chance.
ARGUMENT.
AH largo dealers, like the Portland firms,
have enormous expenses that we do not have
in the way of immense rent, electric light,
clerk hire, freight, drayage and numerous
other bills. .Especially is this true of - their
agents who cart their pianos around from
town to town, creating bills which you have to
share if you buy of them. Large firms save
about 10 on a.piano bv buying in large carload
lots Do you think that makes up for the
above expenses? We are in a position to sell
cheaper than any large firms aud the way eur
customer? are-i creasing gives evidence that
people are finding it out. Beware of spec
ial sales, piano clubs and the like.
No firm can bell goods at wholesale prices to
the retail trade and no firm does. We
always make a profit ou our pianos and never
give anyone a special price, or sell 'to you for
less than your neighbor, as we have but one
price the year around. There is not another
dealer iu the Pacific Northwest, to our knowl
edge, which has strictly one price on each
piauo irom wnicn iney ever never deviate.
At least have a talk with
- M. A. GOODNOUGH
bef tre purchasing and see what he has to ofier.
Our $250 pUn is a thoroughly good instru
ment, of beautiful tone, action, finish and
workmanship and one which would cost else
where $300 so $325. We have several new styles
coming. Second hand pianos also for sale.
