Good Advice.
George P. Rowell Co., of New
York, the leading advertising
authorities ol the country, give
this advice to those who want to
reach the public:
“The best advertising medium
is THE DAILY PAPER The
beat advertisement is the], one
that tells what you^want to say
in the fewest; and plainest
words. So display it that it
will catch the eye. Insert it in
the best daily paper—mind you
—THE BEST,”
It may cost more, but it will
pay you injeven greater propor-.
tion.

THE BLAL00K COMMITTEE.
The Blalock committee is now on-
gsged In its work of investigating the
affair! of the State Uaiversity and the
State Coiiegeof Agriculture and Me
chanic Arts, It is pethtps the best
thing yet done for the U jiversity that
aucb an investigation should be made.
The charge has been made that the
agricultural fund h*a been misapplied
and that the agricultural college is not
doing what it should do. If auoh a
charge is true it should be substantiated
and the public should know it; if not
trae it is due the University that the
facts ahonld be made known. If the
Blaloek committee finds that the Agri
cultural college seeds remodeling, it is
far from their Ideas to j«.rk it up and
movs It away to another place. They
will favor remodelling it right here
The committee impresses ns, being very
careful and painstaking in their work
and we believe the University interests
and the interests of the State college of
Agricnlture and Mechanic Arts will be
fairly dealt with by them.
increase at these three'porte was $37,-
401,105. At three Southern ports alone
it was $54,705,165, divided as follows:
Galveston $21,750,502, New Orleans $21,
124,018 and Norf&k and Ports
mouth $11,820. To complete
the reoard it must be noted that
while the increase at the Southern
porta between 1885 and 1896 was
from $265,227,420 to $281,881,608, or $16,-
654.368, or 6 per cent, it was $98,173,602,
or 34.8 per cent between 1896 and 1897.
On the other hand, the increase at all
other porta between 1895 and 1896 waa
from $542,725,330, or $58,414,405, equal
to 10.7 per oent, and $71,207,651, or
11.8 per oeut, between 1896 and 1897.
There has been a notable Inorease in
the exports of breadstuff! from Oulf
ports in the put few years, but this
movement alone doee not account for
the gains before noted. The inorease in
the valne of such exports from the
South for the year ending June 30,
1897, wu from $38,911,069 to $63,276,409
or $24,365,340, This leaves $73,807,262
increase on aooount of other articles,
which shows that the movement is, u
the Record says, one of general aa well
as large significance.

A working Girls’ home hu just been
opened in Denver,Collin whioh furnish
ed rooms can be had for $2 a month. The
duigu is to give oomfortable quarters
to young women who are working for
small wages-$4 or $5 a week says tne
New York Tribune. The building con
tains thirty-two rooms, and fifteen girls
are already being accommodated. There
are pleasant parlors and reception
rooms, too, which all working girls
are invited to frequent.
Californians are rebelling against the
use of their State as a sanitarium for
consumptives. There wu a time when
the salubrity of theolimate, and the
consequent advantages to people of
weak lungs, wu held out u an induce
ment to emigration. But too many
have accepted the invitation, and there
to a feeling now among the unsffliotei
that the inoursion is dangerous to them,
Just what they can do about the matter,
however, is apuuling question. Di
rectors of the State board of trade bave
decided that soma measures ahonld be
taken, and they have In mied a quaran

increase.
The total increase for the country was
from $882,606,938 to $1,051,987,091, or
$169,380,153. The inorease for the South
was from $281,881,608 to $380,055,210, or
$98,173,602, whioh wu 68 per oent. of
the whole. The difference in favor of
the South Is even more manifest in a
comparison by sections, the increuee
being u follows: North Atlaniio ports
from $495,322,435 to $534,789,099; or
$89,466,664, equal to 7.9 per oent. South
Atlantio ports from $140,619,262 to $135,-

The third of the series of artiolea on
tee by Dr. A. T. Peeto, of South
Carolina, is as follows:
The editorial request, in oomments
upon the last artiele, for Information
to “atingleaa bees,” opens the way
for a sort of supplementary ohapter on
the habits and characteristics of bees.
The suggestion was wisely made, for a
knowledge of these points is really es
sential to a proper understanding of
the subjwt. The matter of atingless
bees is explained below, and in the
forthcoming artiole on “How to market
honey,” an attempt will be made to
show what Is wrong with the anpply
and demand in the honey trade, also
why Mr. Nesmith’s fine honey was re
turned unsold.
If we open s hive (a frame hive) con
taining a good atrong colony of bees,
say abontthe first week in April, in
this latitude, examination will show us
first 20,600 to 50,000 worker bees, several
hundreds of drones, and a queen bee.
The queen, who is no queen at all, but
but should be called by the German
name of “mother bee,” Is the most im
portent figure in the hive. She lays ell
the eggs, of ten st this sesson 3,000 per
day, This prodigious amount of labor
leaves her no time for other work and
she hu no other duties. The young
worker bees attend upon their mother,
constantly offering her partially diges
ted food. Leaving out acoidents she
will live three to five years. Tbe
worker base are undeveloped females,
in faot some of them may oceuionally,
in a queenless hive, lay a tew unfertile
eggs. They do all the work of the com
mualty except egg-laying, whioh ia the
queen’s province. They bnlld oomb
from wax seoreted by themselves, they
nurse and feed the larvae or young
brood, they gather nectar and pollen
from fljwers, store both in oells in their
oomhs, and seal up the cells after they
have evaporated and ripened the neotar
into honey; they post sentries day and
night to guard against surprise, and
they fight to the death with
reckless courage ' in defenoe of
home and kindred. They do any num
her of other things showing skill and
wisdom so amsalng tnat It Is difficult to
deny to them a share of reasoning
power. The‘equal rights” folks may
note that all the wulth and sweetness
of the hive is the product of feminine
industry, although there ie this little
drawback, that all the stinging comes
from the same source. Tbe queen has
a formidable sting but will not use it on
public occasion,. One may take any
queen in the hand and roll her about oi
even pull her in pieces without any at
tempt on her part to sting. She reserves
her weapon for intruding queens alone,
for like any self-respecting mother ola
family, she tolerates no rival in the
household.
The drone Is the male bee, and life
for him is full of uncertainties. He has
no sting for self-defense nor any facili
ties for gathering neotar. He is merely
designed to be a father, and in that ca
pacity is permitted to board and lodge
in the hive while hie services are needed
but after all tbe young queens are
mated be is ruthlessly turned ont into
cold world to perish—a fact full of sig-
nifloanoe for tbe oomiog man.
Oar examination of the btve further
shows a series of perpendlcnlar combs
containing oells of two kinds—worker
cells, about twenty-five to tbe square
inoh, and the larger drone oells, usnally
sixteen to the rqiere inoh. In these
oells tbe eggs ere laid and hatched on
the third day into tiny larvae or grabs
There tbe larvae are fed by the young
nurse bees until the ninth day, when
eaoh cell is sealed over with wtx. The
grab beoomes a sort of ohryselis (pupa,)
and later a perfeot. bee, gnawing its way
out of the cell on the twenty-first day
in the case of a worker, and on the
twenty-fourth day if a drone. The
young worker bee stays in the hive and
engages in domestio work, auoh as
nursing, oomb-bnildicg, storing and
ripening honey, etc, for aboil two
weeks, after whioh she became* afield
bee and goes abroad in search of honey
and pollen or bee breed. Her life ia
short, being limited to about six weeks
Jn the busiest season, though she may
live several months when in winter
quarters doing no work.
Most likely at this sesson the beee are all
about ready to swarm, and in that case
there will be found oells of another As
cription, perhaps three or four, and
may be a di z*n or more. These are the
queen oells in which the new queens
are to be raised. They resemble very
olosely peanut shells, being about an
inoh in length, and are bnilt in some
vicent space “ In the oombsorhsng
from tbe sides of said oomb*. A worker
egg is laid In oaoh queen cell end hatoh-
ed as usual, but tbe young larvae is fed
with a specially prepared ;concentra-
ted food in large quantity. This
known as “royal jelley,” looking like
thiok cream, and has a stimulating
effect upon the embryo bee, which in
its large roomy quarters grows to be
fully developed female or queen. The
old mother bee tries to destroy these
queen oells, but a guard placed about
them keeps her at a safe distance after
the egg is hatched, and they are sealed
up as usual on the ninth day. When
the first queen cell is sealed, if the
weather be suitable, the swarm leaves.
carry pollen from flower to flower, thus
securing the vitality of fruit and seed.
Tbe old queen goes with the awtrm.
She does not lead, but is often unwil
ling to leave her home, in which oase
she is hustled oat by her daughters, the
workers. Anew home has previously
been selected in some inviting hollow
tree, and put in habitable shape by an
advance party. Then, the weather be
ing flue, the flowers toll of neotar and
all domestio affairs pat in order, a
signal is given and wild exoitement fol
lows. Thousands of bees poor oat of
the hive with a force whioh oar-
rles them headlong to the ground.
They circle through the air in mad
froiio—the annual pionio has begun.
After awhile they cl niter in a dense
mass on some convenient tree or bnsh,
so that all stragglers may be gathered
in, and they await the arrival of the
soonts, who, by a peculiar hissing note,
order the column forward. At once,
unless the bee-keeper hu taken a hand
in the proceedings, all depart in rapid
flight for the woods, and a great silence
falls on the forsaken hive, for probably
two-thirds or three-fonrths of Ua in
mates are gone.
But observe, the hive is filled to its
utmost capacity with honey and brood,
a great hoet of young bees is ready to
bateh out to take the place of the emi
grants, and the first young queen will
make her appearance In seven or eight
days; moreover, enough bees are left at
home to do what little work ia needed
and to repel invaders.
When the young queen emerges from
her cradle, the queen cell, and hu taken
her first reput the begins work by tear
ing open the remaining queen cells and
killing the inmates, nnleu another
swarm is to issue, in whioh event the
cells are guarded u before.
When she it five or six days old the
queen files out to meet a drone, and in
two or three days more will have tattled
down to her life work, depositing eggs
in vacant cells. If a second swarm is
sues she will go with them and
younger queen will take her plaoe.
Next in order oomu the great business
of the year, the gathering of nature's
harvest, and storing the same for future
use. Later in the suson every oraok or
crevice in the hive will be plutered up
with propolis or bee glue, which the
beu gather from gum trees, ete. All
will be made tantgand snug against the
storms and oold of the winter season.
