Queen bees will ordinarily Brlllat-Savarl- bee-siac- n. e h from two to twenty cells will be formed, and If your old queen is of choice breeding slock, remove her to some other colony, and on the tenth day after cut out carefully all except one or two cells, and give them to your other colonies at the time that you destruy their queens. In a day or two tbese cells will hatch and any colony will accept a newly hatched virgin. At some times of the year it Is difficult to introduce an old queen to a strange colony without leaving her caged among them for several days, but I have no trouble in removing a queen and introducing another at the same operation at this time of year, while the honey flow is on, without caging or loss of time, by sprinkling her freely with a mixture of flour and confectioner's sugar, and running her in before tbeir loss 1b known. Under these conditions the bees usually accept her at once. 7Z$ Hive Stand and Alighting Board. trance in the summer is left full Inch deep and the width of the hive.

Tn choosing tomato plants fur growing prize tomatoes, do not select tree tomatoes, as they are not prolific, but pick out some good, smooth, meaty variety. Set the plant on the south side of the stake, about four inches from it, and train same to stake as it grows, tying with binder twine pr cloth strings, which are preferable. Many times when the vines are very rank two branches will start to grow from the top, but clip one off. allowing only one to grow to a height of Are feet, then clip the tops, and keep them clipped, which will hasten the ripening, and convert all the strength of the vine into fruit. When the plants are eight or ten Inches high, little runners or shoots will appear in the forks. Here, writes C. P. Bowlcsly in the Farm and Home, is where the whole secret lies. These runners sap the main vine and turn all the strength into vines instead of tomatoes. When they appear pinch them off and allow only one main vine to grow. The fruit buds or blossoms willtalso appear in the same fork, but do not disturb them. Keep clipping out the runners every time you find any or when you cultivate them. The fruit will be nice, early, clean, handy to pick, a great improvement over the old way. and Extremely Handy Implement Is Quite Small.

Boil a pint of vinegar with one-hal- f a bay leaf, one teaspoonful of cloves and a tablespoonful each of allspice and pepper corns twenty minutes. When it is cold pour over tbe pieces of boiled fish. When ready to serve, pour off tbe vinegar and garnish with parsley. Sardines dipped in fritter batter and fried in hot fat, then served with a hot tartar sauce, are a pleasant variety to serve.

Chicken Timbales. Mix thoroughly one pint of chopped chicken, oue cup of stale bread brumba or chicken stuffing, one-hateaspoonful of mixed herbs, saltspoon of pepper, half a teaspoonful of salt, a cup of milk or stock and two beaten eggs. Celery salt, cayenne, parsley, onion and lemon juice also may be used for seasoning. Pack in small molds, well buttered, and steam fifteen minutes,.

In these days of many weddings when all nature is in bloom to assist in making them impressive and beautifuls few suggestions on the Important subject of eating may not be amiss. If the wedding repast is to be a breakfast many dainty dishes which would be out of place for an afternoon or evening collation may be served. For a first course at a breakfast fruit seems especially appropriate, and as there are countless ways of presenting this dish one may, if Ingenious. originate something unsual. There Is no prettier dish than fresh strawberries with the hulls left on surrounding a mound of molded powdered sugar and garnished with the fresh leaves of the strawberry, though that Is not at all new. Chopped and mixed fruits sweetened with a heavy sirup is another appetizing beginning. Doubtless there may be better meat dishes than fried chicken, but tbe most of us mortals will still bold to our fondness for the tender fowl. With the fried chicken let us have some creamed potatoes, prepared by cutting in uniform cubes and cooking them until tender, then after draining them heat in a rich white sauce made of two tablespoonfuls of flour and butter cooked 'together, salt and a dash of red pepper and a cup of thin cream or rich milk. Cook until thick, then add the potatoes. With this dish of chicken and potatoes a few tips of asparagus seasoned with butter and served on toast triangles, all on the same :late, will make the main dish. An unusual salad and very good, too, is pear, pineapple and nuts with a little dressing served on heart leaves of lettuce. This, with rolls, makes a nice salad coarse. Strawberry Ice cream, with crushed berries as a sauce served on it. and the bride's cake with coffee, finishes a repast fine enough for any bride. nuts may lie Olives and salted served with tbe meat course, and candles make a pretty table decoration that may be passed after the cofTee. 1541 ia Orleans.
