In the southern part of the state the |
flow is fine in poplar, holly, gums, j
tupelo, white clover, gallberry, etc.
The bees must be closely watched.
Supers are filled rapidly in strong (
colonies and ampie room snouiu De j
provided by adding supers before the
hives become congested. Supers
should be examined at this time *
twice a week, for a strong colony 1
will often fill a super in one week. 1
Eequeening of strong and healthy 1
colonies is not recommended at this ,
time. The beekeepers should look
forward wtih a view to doing this, |
where necessary, in July. A good |
queen introduced at that time wiil |
build a strong colony for wintering |
and the hive will start work next ,
spring with a strong and active j

may be obtained in one or more of <
the following ways: i
1st: Transfer from the old bee-'/
tree in the woods or swamp to a mod ,

In transferring from a tree or box
t is quite immaterial if the bees are
>lack. After they have settled in the
lew hive they are then requeened
vith a good Italian queen, which will
:onvert the colony from black to
Italian in a short time.
There is a shortage of comb and
;he rendering of extracted honey ia
irged. It requires time and work foi
>ees to build comb and it is unfortulate
when this work is necessary
when a heavy honey flow is on.
In taking off honey, nothing should
je allowed to go to waste. Small
pieces of comb honey may be put in
;he sun or solar extracted. Capping;
loney are treated in the same manler.
Pieces of comb or comb containng
honey should not be left in the
jee yard or at any place near where
;he bees can get to it. This disorganzes
the workers and causes robbing
Be clean and exacting whenjtakiiif

leaning up the utensils may bt
jayed for making honey vinegar.
There is no evidence of brood dis
eases in this state and this shoulc
ancourage every beekeeper to tfs<
any precaution im ordering queen;
and nuclei from reputable sources
[t is for this feason that the purchas
ing of locai bees is encouraged.

LIVESTOCK IN McCORMIOL
The Beef Cattle work in the count
1 is making marked progress. Since
the first of December last, through >
? I -m *#? m
tne cooperative enoixs 01 nr. oaeei
ly, Beef Cattle Specialist, we have
been able to place seventy-five head
of breeding animals in the county;
and at the present time there are
1 prospects of starting a few more
men in this work. We always select
only those men who have natural
pasture advantages with whom to do
work of this kind. We find that
1 along the Savannah River and the
i larger tributaries of this river, the
i pasture lands are excellent; and we
i hope to gradually get the owners of
this land to put in cattle.
Apparently, the time is not far
' distant when we shall have some real
! good cattle grazing -the excellent
pasture land that is found along this
| river. 0
While visiting farms during the
; past weekj I noticed the increase in
hogs on a number of farms. Often "
I note a good brodd sow and a litter
of fine pigs n farms, where three
* years ago the owners bought pigs in
i the spring from which to make their
3 meat in the fall. The Duroc has won
* favor with the farmers of this county.
The brood sows that were purchased
a year ago, seem to have been
3 impressed with the idea that there is
- a shortage of meat in the country.
1 Spring pigs are good and large litters
predominate.?N. G. Thomas.
