lug After n)ii
1 have tricitl viicloufl plana to prevent
tooond Rwunna by hlvln; in ttifferent
wfly, such us moving the old hive 1o a
i.ew stand, and hving tho new bw arm
or the nw one over to 'he old; ulo
hlvlnif tt) nwHrm to themselves, arid
irivluj them a portion of the brood
from tho purunt hlvt. etc. All of
thrme have jiroved to be unBatiHfiietory
to me. owing t the fuel that theKo
methodH have a tendency to lutwen the
amount of Biirjikm, ulnce the old hive la
o roduced that it la a long while before
it become btrotig enough to work in
the base. Hence we have only the
new awai m to depend upon for a ur
plua, where we dejnd wholly upon
clover and bawwood for box honey.
I alwaya aim to keep every colony
trong the onei that havo caat a
I warm, oh 'well aa the new ones. My
experience teaches me that light
swarms during the honey aeaaon give
no profit I would rather have half a
buohbl of bees in one hive than divided
by two. having a peck in each hive,
when the honey season is at hand.
In hiving been, the plan that suits me
best h to return one-third of the swarm
to the old hive, put the remaining two
thirds in a new hive, and add to it, as
soon as may be, one or more two-thirds
swarms (without queens this time),
each time returning the third of the
bees to the hive from which they came.
The surplus queens, if good ones, may
be returnod to their respective hives
after (tutting off all the queen-cells. By
this method the old hive is kept well
stocked with bees, and work in the
boxes is very little interrupted, and
new colonies are made very strong, and
are in the best of condition to store a
large amount of hvney in the boxes.
As I do not defcire a large increase of
colonies, I strive to secure a large sur
plus, regardless of increase.
To prevent second swarms I go to tho
hives four days after a swarm has is
sued, lift out the combs one by one,
and cut out all queen-cells but one,
leaving the best one If I wish to rear a
queen from this stock; if not, all are
cut out, and a cell from' some other Is
introduced. Then In four days more 1
again cut out any qnecn cetlB that may
have been started, after which there Is
no dauger of more being started. Now,
when the young queen hatches and
finds no rival, and the bees not being
able to rear another, owing to the age
of the brood, the young queen i, ier
mltted to leave the hive for fcrtili.it
tlon, without the bees follow ing her;
and in due lime the will commence to
luy. But if the young queen is allowed
to hatch before the other cells are re
moved, as recommended by some wri
ters, eveu If the cells are removed very
soon after llie queen hatches, there is
danger of a seeond swarm. But if all
Surplus cells are removed before the
queen hatches, thei-e is no danger of a
second swarm; at least that has been
my experience the past few year.
One night last fceason my son report
ed six second swarms that day (thisbo
kigoulyhiH second season in having
charge of an apalry, and lie had for
gotten my instruction of the year bo
fore; tiKjn inquiry ' I learned that he
had not removed the cells the socoud
time; or on the eighth day, thinking
that, if be removed them soon aftor the
young hutched from the cells left in
tho hive, when looking them over the
fourth day after the swarm had issued,
jl would be as well. But the result
Was six after-swarms in one day. I
Visited his yard next day and helped
(ilin cut out the surplus cells from all
that had sw armed seven or eight days
previously; and cautioned him to at
tend to this matter in the future, which
ie did, and the result was no mora
second swarms. Gleanings.
MEASURING HAY.
stale
ht Will Work Well Knuuich Wh. n
Snl Are Mot Obtainable.
. There is so much difference in tho
duality of hay that it is impossible to
llocWo tho matter accurately. It is gen
liruily believed that 400 cubic foot in a
arge buy lakiug it right through, or
i00 on a long, wide deep scaffold, will
I'eprosont n ton. Whqn the hay is cut
parly, is stored evenly over tho mow,
hj well trodduu when stored away, and
js allowed to settle two or three mouths
pefore tueastiriiig,' erhnps it will hold
put at the above tlguree. When grass
U allowed to stand until nearly ripo bo
lore cutting, it will occupy
juiarly uif not quite. tweuty
lve per cent, more bulk, especially on
scaffold, than the early cut, and re
(1 uire about that many more cubic feet
(or a ton. Coarse hay, us timothy and
Mover, will tiot weigh as heavy, birlk
.l' Uui... w olllCltlS UllO U0 Culll'
jmm prairio or wild hay. It is much
more satisfactory to both buyer and
seller to woigh the hay when possible.
In Cfitinialing by measurement, mul
tiply together the figures representing
ibo length, width and height of the
Lay, and divide the product by tho
imrabcr of foot in a ton. For example.
If the hay is forty feet long, sixteen
foot wide and eighteen foet from tho
bottom to tho top of the mow, and tho
ml agreed is 400 foet to the ton, the
mow will contain 40 plus 16 plus 18
equals 11.620 cubic feet; 11,620, divided
by 400 equals 28 tons and 320 feet, or
J.'8 4-5 tons. It would require consider
ably more than 400 cubic foet from the
top of such a mow for a ton; while at
(.be bottom it will have become packed
to solidly from the great weight above
it, that 400 cubic feet will weigh con
siderable more than 2,000 pounds.

ABOUT SUNDAY WORK.
TbcQiie.tlnn Considered from a Strictly
rhyntologiral Ktandpolnt.
The question of Sunday work has, of
course, a moral side, and it is that side
which most strongly influences many
who are striving to lessen the evil.
Physiologists are universally agreed
that men netI, for purely physiological
reasons, one day's rest out of these ceo.
There is plenty of evidence upon this
question, all pointing in the same
direction, and the conclusion is inevit
able that the almost universal desire of
workmen for rest on Sunday, and
their strong objection to working con
tinuously every day, is the result of a
natural physiological law, which, like
all other laws of the kind, can not be
violated without some one having to
suffer the penulty. There is good
reason for believing that many rail
road accidents are directly traceable to
physical and mental exhaustion of
train-men caused by the strain of
severe and exacting duties, performed
without relaxation for a period of time
beyond that which is allowed by na
ture. And iu the case of street rail
way employes, who are required to
work from twelve t sixteen hour
every day, Sundays included, it is
probable that society suffers, and will
uffer, a large share jp the penalty.
For the presence in the community of
a considerable body of men to whom
civilization means alinost, if not quite,
nothing, upon whom society has im
posed burdens ulico-t intolerable und
infiuitoly heavier thaj arS imposed by
nature us a condition of living we say
that the preence "f a body of men
living under such conditions is a
menace und a (iuirirer to republican in
stitutions. American Machinist.

A man iu Australia has discovered
a process by which he can season
reshly cut Australian lumber in less
than seven days. This seems hardly
credible, as heretofore it has required
several years. Steum is one of th
agencies employed.
Tests made with much care show
that the udd it Ion of a fractiou of one
per cent, of aluminum greatly improves
the quality of cast iron, rendering cast
ings more solid and free from blow
holes, removing the tendency to chill,
increasing tho strength, elasticity, and
fluidity of the metal, and decreasing
shrinkage.
The different woods for charcoal
may be estimated as to value by this
rule- Of tho oaks 100 parts will yield
23 parts charcoal, beech 21. apple, elm
and white pino 23, birch 24, maple 22,
willow 18, poplar 20, hard pine 22.
The charcoal used for gunpowder is
made from willow aud alder.
Experiments again made in Lon
don with carbo-dyimmite, one of tho
latest explosives, would seom to show
that it possesses some important ad
vantages over ordinary dynamite,
among others that of considerably
greater power, and tho goiioration of
much less noxious vapor when ex
ploded in confined places. It is com
posed of nitro-glycerino absorbed by
ten parts of a variety of carbon, and is
claimed to be entirely uuaffocted by
sater.
THE ARIZONA KICKER.
Roma of the Vp and Downs of Editorial
Lite In the We.t.
We extract the following items front
the last issue of the Arizona Kicker:
The Last Straw. For the last sli
months Major Davis, of this burgh
has lost no opportunity of abusing us
and boasting of what he would do if
we did not step softly. The reason for
this conduct lies in the fact that the
Kicker not only called him a horse
thief, but proved him a bigamist be
sides. Last Saturday the Major, who
has no more right to that title than a
mule has to that of "professor," bor
rowed a shot-gun and gave out that he
had camped on our trail and meant to
riddle our system with buckshot on
sight Word was brought to us, and
although we were very busy at the
time superintending our combined
weekly newspaper, harness shop, gro
cery, bazar and gun store '(11 under
one roof, and the largest retail estab
lishment in Arizona), we laid aside
our work and went over to Snyder's
saloon in search of the Major. We
found him, and we gave him such a
whipping as no man in this town ever
got before. He lies a 'broken and
stranded wreck on the shores of time,
so to speak, and the doctor says it will
be six weeks before he will find any
moro trails or do any more camping.
Suited a Cog. In company with
the elite of this neighborhood we were
invited to the abode of Judge Graham
last Thursday evening to witness the
marriage of County Clerk Dan Scott to
the beautiful Arabella Johnson, only
daughter of the aristocratic widow
Johnson, of Bay Horse Hights. The
widow had made a spread worthy of
the days of Cleopatra, and Dan had on
a new suit sent by express from Omaha
for the occasion. Every thing passed
off pleasantly until eight o'clock, at
which hour the bride was discovered
to be missing, and investigation soon
brought out the fact that she had gone
dead back on Dan and skipped the tra
la, whatever that is, with a bold cow
boy named French Jim. She left a
message to the effect that she could
never, oever love a man with a cata
ract in his left eye, and that meant
Dan. There was a feast, but no wed
ding, and Daniel will have to try again.
ExrLAXArouv. As several versions
of the incident that occurred in our
office Saturday night are flying around
town and have probably been tele
graphed all over th'j world, we deem
it but right to give the particulars as
they occurred. We were seated in the
editorial chair, writing a leader on the
European situation, when a rough
character known around town as
'Mike the Slayer" called in. As we
had never had a word with the man,
we suspected no eviL As a matter of
fact we reached for our subscription
book, supposing, of course, that he
wanted the best weekly in America
for a year. The Slayer then announced
thut he bud come to slay us, not be
cause we had ever done him harm, but
because the influence of tho press was
driving out the good old times and
customs. We retreated towards the
door of our harness department He
pursued us with a drawn knife. We
thn felt it our duty to draw our gun
and let six streaks of daylight through
his bedy, aud as he went down we
stepped to the door and sent a boy for
the coroner. It was a clear case of
self-defeuse. and the inquest was a
mere formality. We lament the sad
occurrence, but no one can blame us.
We paid his burial expenses, and in
another column will be found his obitu
ary, written in our best vein and with
out regard to space. Js'o other Arizona
editor has ever done half as much.
No Haku Dose. The boys got after
a stranger the other evening who was
pointed out as a horse-thief, and ran
him all over town w ith the object of
pulling him up to a limb. In some
manner he gave them the slip, aud in
their zeal they got bold of Judge Dow
ney and held him up to a limb for over
a minute before the error was discov
ered. The judge is gu-guing around
with a sore throat and stiff neck and
threatens to bring about fifty damage
suits. Tuko a friend's advice, judge,
aud hush up. Vou got off powerful
easy, considering your general charac
ter. While it was a mislako, the boys
were not so far wrong after all. We
wish such mistakes would occur oftouer.
We Bide Otut Tjmk. -While selling
Mrs. Colonel Prcscott four pounds of
prunes for half a dollar the other day
Constable Button entered and asked us
to step across the street to the office of
Esquire Williams. We obeyed tho re
quest, aud wore at once served with a
warrant charging us with keeping
bales of hay ou the sidewalk in f rout
ol the rucner uuico to tue ueiruuoui of
pedestrians. As is well known, wo
run a grocery, food store, harness shop,
bazar and mush; house in connection
with the Kicker, and the hay was out
for a sign. Wo were tried, con virted
and lined nine dollars the jrrtH.iott
outrage ever perpetrated in the nauw
of law. Wo shall bide our time. That
is, we shall begin next week and show
'Squire Williams up as a drunkard,'
dcud-bcut, absconder,', embezzler und
perjurer, and if we can't drive him out
of tho country In six weeks we will
forfeit a lung. The man who made the
complaint did it to get even with us
for refusing to lend him our only button-behind
shirt. From this out he is
a marked man. We will begin on him
next week, and we'll bet ten to one be
hangs himself inside of a month.

THE SIERRA SNOW PLANT
t Benutlful Flower Found on tha Moan
tain Height of the Mint,
One thing that never fails to interest
ill who see it, when alone it is found
on the mountain heights of the Sierras,
is the snow plant, known to botanists
s the Sanoile Sauguimn, moaning
blooded flesh. Both names are said to
be misnomers. The first was given it
from its supposed birth among the
Sierra snow, some travelers asserting
that it sent its roots into snowbanks as
other plants into earth. Superficial
observers were deceived by seeing the
orilliant spikes of flowers rising from
the snow that had fallen around them
in the quick mountain squalls after the
plants had grown. No flesh or blood
could be as exquisitely beautiful; imag
ine a rosy and snow tented, crowded
hyacinth, from eight to twenty inches in
height, every miniature bell . ound
about by a rosy and frostod silver rib
bon, all topped by a huge head of aspar
agus io hoar frost and silver. The
frosted papilla is very marked n every
sepal and bract Though tho whole
translucent spike is flushed with rose
and carmine, the petals are the deepest
and most brilliantly colored parts of
the flower, which is five parted, and
each open one showing slightly the
stamens aud pistils. There have been
seen specimeus bearing eighty perfect
flowers and a psoudo-bulb twenty-two
inches in circumference, brittle almost
as spun glass, and although solid as a
pineapple when first dug up, dried
away -to the size of tho stem. All at
tempts at cultivation have thus far
failed, the bulbs refusing to stand trans
planting and the seeds to sprout For
the man who can discover the way to
Introduce them to cultivation thero is a
fortune in store, and what a, glorious
addition they will be to our early gar
den flora! They have been gathered in
their native wiids from May until past
the middle of July, but even at home
are said to bo capricious in growth.
Localities where they abound one sea
son in it y be without thorn tho next
They are found as high as 8,000 feet
above the sea level and not much below
4,000. It was once said that they would
not survive below the level of the sum
mer snow line, but they have been
since seen almost covering the ground
far below. The snowbanks seem, how
ever, to protect them from the winds
sweeping among1 the mountains, and
they make their early growth and de
velopment beneath the driven snows,
and when the approach of summer
leaves the surface of the ground ex
posed it is covered in a few days with
the red crowns of tho snow plants. Tho
flowers are at first protected by the
leaf-like bracts, which gradually un
fold as the weather warms and appar
ently close up again when the temper
ature becomes suddenly cold. When
thus closed the parts of the flower are
so perfectly fitted together us to resem
ble a huge head of asparagus. The
brittlo roots extend into the grottud al
most as far as the flower does above iu
Although once thought to be parasitic
upon decaying cedar roots, no indica
tions of a parasitic character are found
upon digging them up. The pluatis
said to be found in soils of varying na
ture, but always whore it gots the water
from melting snow. Porhups some new
system of refrigeration will be dis
covered by which the bulbs may be
transported to other regions? Ameri
