ties and Scatter on Land.
The main in the picture is one of
the many farmers on the Maine coast
who gather kelp to put on their lands
as fertilizer. Kelp is a seaweed which
is washed up on the shore, and at
low tide, farmers along the Atlantic
coast gather it in large quantities
and spread it upon their land. This
makes a very good fertilizer, particu-

With the fastening of chain near the

Locating the Apiary. i
In starting an apiary the first]
thing to be considered is the selec
tion of a suitable location for the
hives. This should be in some open
or nearly open place where there
will be no overhanging branches from
trees to interfere with the operation
of the aplarist, convenient to som¢
building to be used as a shop for
preparing and storing hives and ap
paratus, and near enough to the house
to be easily watched in swarming
time, and, above all, In a place suff.
ciently level to make it easy to get
around the hives and keep the grags
mowed about and around them.
Buying Bees.
Bees may be bought at this season
very cheaply and, if you are a good
judge of eolonies, they may be bought
and moved a few miles in a spring

Found to Be Satisfactory.
gives In Gleanings the following
quick way of killing a surplus of
drones:
“I have read in the bee journals a
description of a queen-sieve and its
uses, but never saw a drone-sieve de
scribed, although the occasion for its
use may arise in every aplary some-
times. Here is one that I have been
using with good results: I nail a
queen-excluder to the bottom of an
empty hive body and set it on top
of another hive body close to the
hive to be operated on, and shake
into this sieve bees and drones from
every comb except the queen, and
cover it as quickly as possible. After
replacing the combs I put a Porter
bee escape on top, and on this the
gleve with the drones, after having
brushed off the bees that have clus
tered on the under side of the sieve
Next morning vou find all the bees
that remained with the drones have
passed down the escape, and the
drones on their backs kicking the
bucket To shorten the agony of
death, I put the sieve over a teaspoon
ful of burning sulphur, and in a minute
it's all over.”
