BICYCLE MEET
§1,000 in Prizes to Be Given
At Tecumseh, Thursday July 23.
The third annual race meet of the
Tecumseh Bicycle Association will occur at Bills driving 'park, Tecumseh,
Thursday July 23, and the association
are sparing no pains or expense to
make tins their best "meet" as well   as
the attraction of the season for southern Michigan. A large number of
amateur and professional riders will
compete for the §1,000 in prizes and
not only Michigan but Ohio, Iudiana,
and Illinois will be represented. Eight
track events and a 10 mile road race are
announced, which together with the
engagement of Sid Black, the celebrated trick rider and many other attractions will certainly make this a day of
rare sport.

Largo or Small Hives a Question of Locality and Management.
The advocates of large hives say that
a colony in a large hive has more stability—a superabundance of vitality, numerous stores, etc.—that safely carry it
through hard winters and poor seasons.
It is also asserted that the queen is given guch an abundance of room to lay
that more bees are produced, and that a
greater body of bees work to better 'advantage than a small one and more honey
is the result. Larger swarms are also expected from large hives.
Those who favor small hives say that
a large quantity of honey lies idle—is
dead capital—in the large hives; that it
takes so long in the spring and early
Bummer to get the large hive full of
bees, brood and honey that the best of
the season is over before tho bees are
ready for the supers. With a small hive
it is maintained that the combs are
more completely filled with brood, as
there are fewer cells to be filled. There
may be fewer bees per hive but really
more per comb, but more hives and
queens will be needed. Queens cost
nothing, and small hives can be made
of cheaper lumber, as wide lumber is
more' expensive per foot. Small hives
are more easily handled than large ones.
All this has reference, of course, to the
brood nest only, as the surplus apartment of any hive is varied in size according to the season or the harvest.
Discussion has brought out the fact
that the most desirable size of hives is
largely a question of locality and management. Iu the northern states, where
the seasons are short, and especially in
those localities where there is no fall
honey harvest and comb honey is produced, a small hive is preferable, for
the reason just given—viz. that the season is over before the colony in a large
hive is ready to store honey in the surplus apartment. In raising extracted
honey the size of 'the brood apartment
is not so important, as the honey can be
extracted even from the brood nest if
necessary, but it is more convenient to
be able to leave the "brood nest -undisturbed and have the surplus all in one
apartment. In those flower latitudes
where the seasons are longer, or where
there is a fall harvest, the large hives
give excellent results. There is then
time for the colony to build up and fill
the hive before the season is over.
The difference between what is called
a small hive and a large one is not so
very great. An eight frame Langstroth
hive is called a small hive, while a ten
frame hive, holding only about 15
pounds more honey, is called a large
hive. A few beekeepers regard even a
ten frame hive as small.
For the hiving of swarms from which
an immediate surplus of comb honey is
expected a small hive is imperative. If
a large hive Were used, the season
would be over before the hive would be
filled. A hive that can readily be made
larger or smaller, a sectional hive like
the new Heddon, is probably the most
desirable, as the size can be easily
changed to suit the season or circumstances. These same changes can bo
made with ordinary hives by using division boards or "dummies," but there
is less "machinery" or complication
with sectional hives. Only expert beekeepers and those who make a specialty
of the business should employ small
hives, as it is true that bees in such
hives require closer attention, in tlie way
of seeing if they aro properly supplied
with stores and in wintering them.
Farmers and those who are inclined to
neglect their bees for their main business had hetter rise large hives, as colonies in such hives can more surely care
for themselves. At the same time it
must not bo forgotten that a small hive
is an excellent thing in the hands of an
expert living in the locality to which
such a hive Is adapted.
The foregoing was written for Country Gentleman by that experienced and
successful apiarist, W. Z. Hutchingson.
Methods of Averting; -Frost.
The latest.plans for averting frost involves tho h&at given off by vapor. Professor Hammond of the San Francisco
weather bureau office favors the vapor
furnished by sprayed fires. The fires
are made in the orchard to be protected
and sprayed whenever they begin to
burn up briskly. Mr. F. C. Pinkie of
San Francisco agrees with Professor
Hammond that "the condensation of the
vapor Warms the air, as it is in this
way the heat: is given off by that vapor,
but the condensation would be as effective when the vapor is created by vapor
from tanks as when furnished by sprayed
fires." The authority last quoted favors
small oil jets under tanks of water, by
which tlio heated vapor will be given
off gradually and condensed near the
surface of the ground.
Deep Plowing.
Deep plowing was once considered tht?
sure evidence of good farming. It is no
longer thought so. Says a writer in The
Prairie Farmer: "On fairly fertile clay
soils of the same texture and composition to a considerable depth deep plowing would usually be better than shallow. If the subsoil is very compact, sub-
Boiling would be better usually than
very deep plowing. On porous, sandy
loams the depth of plowing is probably
less important, than good cultivation
afterward. Deep plowing wonld do no
barm. The writer would prefer to cover
manure to a moderate depth on Sue's
foils rather than plow it -under to a
great depth."
Missed the Loveliest Jewel.'
A story of the carnival shows that an
age of chivalry can coexist with an age
of robbery.    Mme. Charlotte T , a
Halles saleswoman and, moreover, a
widow, went out, as was only natural,
to have a look at the procession. She
found on her return, that her jewels had
been stolen ill her absence, and as the
jewels were, worth £300 itwas a serious
loss. For all ills, however, there are
compensations, and on the table the
thief had left a note, brief indeed, "but
gallant and gratifying to a degree. "A
thousand regrets," so the note ran, "for
not having found in this chamber by
far its most lovely jewel!"—Paris Mes*
senger.      _• __•	
Ko Policy at All.
"Honesty may be the best policy as a
general thing," remarked Uncle Allen
Sparks, "but if some men that I know
of had been perfectly honest in answering the questions on their application
blanks for life insurance they would
never have got any policy at all."—Chicago Tribune.
"To knockthe spots out of anything"
is an allusion to the traditional skill of
western cowboys and f amous rifle shots
who would shoot the spots out of a card
held between the fingers of a friend.
