introduce queens before introducing a new queen to a colony of bees it is of the utmost importance that the colony contain no queen of queencells of its own other wise the new- queen will be killed if the colony to be reqaeened has a queen of its own and has made no preparations for swarming remove the a old queen and leave the colony queen- less for about twelve hours and then introduce the new queen- if however the colony has made preparations for swarming remove the queen destroy all queencells and leave queenless for ten days on the tenth day again destroy alt queen- cells and introduce the new queen should the colony be without a queen several days before the new- queen is introduced examine the colony carefully for queencells or virgin queens and destroy them before giving the new one bees will except a new queen more readily when nectar is coming in than when there is a dearth therefore it is better to introduce them during the flow feeding the colony with a thin syrup when

the top bars of the frames or in the entrance of the hives the canadian cage which is si combina tion of the candy and push in cage has been found best at ottawa the queen is placed on the comb and the c is put over- he- tfas l lease the queen as front the other rl caffcn- when- using either the miller or canadian cages the hole through which the bees release the queen in filled with candy and a

ho said with a frown but it wasnt the strength in bis hand that stopped mc it was the authority i saw in his eye it bored into mc it made me feel like a kid then ho turned and left mo star ing at him i was paralyzed some how i just stood there and watched him wade out to that crazy little boat and get into it and start poling away across the current into the trees be yond i remember dashing after him when it was too late the current sucked and tore at me and i 4iad all i could do to get back to the bank i remembered the cattle and ran and turned them loose they went streaming up toward higher

turning over now and then a young man what chance had my father against such flood 1 1 had a vision of him dead in that raging torrent of water how could i ever forgive myself how could i ever hold my head up again i saw myself crawling through life sam clark once a football player once u social favorite the cowardly sam clark who stood aside and let his father drown hadnt i let my father go bravey out to save old andy while i stood like a coward on tho bank it wasnt true i had tried to go but who would ever belle vq it would i believe it myself i got up and walked up and down digging my nails into my palms until they bled tho sun suddenly shot through the clouds and stained tho water blood- red then there was a hoarse cheer behind me and a piercing scream of joy from old andys daughter hy father was in sight poling the dugout to shore old andy was lying in the bottom tired out and almost dead with tho chiil my father drove the boat high up on shore and got out and shook hands with me on second thought he said im sorry i couldnt let you go sam hard on you if i hadnt come back then he staggered and we laid him down by the flro and rubbed him and he was soon well enough to drive
