frallone) ; the poison should be dissolved in a 

 little water, and then thoroughly stirred into 

 the sjrup. Place these tubs in or near the 

 haunts of the animals, and you will soon he 

 rid of them. Small troughs chopped out of 

 slabs of wood will <lo very well in i^lace of the 

 kegs. If you wish to take the animal alive, 

 use a No. 5 Newhouse trap for black or brown 

 bears, and No. for grizzly or silver-tip. 

 These animals will walk into a trap as readily 

 asahog. Place them in their trails, or bait 

 them with the carcass of some large animal, 

 and set the trap in such a manner that the 

 animal in coming to the bait will pass over 

 the trap. Do not fasten the trap, but secure 

 the chaiu to a small log termed a clog, so the 

 animal can drag it around. Bears can then be 

 shot at short range with a rifle or heavily 

 charged shot-gun. J. A. Nash.

May Be Heavy Winter Losses. 



This is a hard winter for bees that are being 

 wintered out-of-doors here in the northeast- 

 ern part of Wisconsin. They have had no 

 (light since the first part of November. I fear 

 for them it the weather does not change soon 

 so they can have a flight. There may be some 

 heavy losses to report this spring.

A Report— Selling Chunk Honey. 



I have wintered my bees on the summer 

 stands, and last spring came through with 

 about 50 colonies, most of them weak, and 

 some very weak.. They got but little from 

 early bloom, such as soft maple, willow, etc., 

 aad but little more from fruit-bloom, so my 

 only chance was feeding, which I did, and by 

 judicious management otherwise I had them 

 in fair shape when white clover came into 

 bloom ; but they stored no honey, and barely 

 got enough to live on and keep up brood-rear- 

 ing until at least two weeks of clover bloom 

 were gone. Prospects really got a little blue, 

 but suddenly the tide changed and they began 

 to store in the sections, and stored very fast 

 during the remainder of clover bloom, which 

 ended the honey harvest, as they got nothing 

 from basswood, and the fall flow was merely 

 sufficient to keep up brood-rearing and 

 strengthen their stores for winter. 



I got 2300 pounds of honey, and increased to 

 67 to 68 colonies. I could have increased much 

 more, but did not wish to do so. While they 

 were inclined to swarm a good deal, they 

 were not so crazy and demoralized as in the 

 two previous seasons. 



I sold my honey in the home market at an 

 average of over l4 cents per pound. Includ- 

 ing what we used, I supplied 6 groceries in 

 the city of Huntington, and many families. 

 While much honey was sold in Huntington 

 for 12 cents per pound, I had no trouble in 

 selling mine at 15 cents. The secret of it is, I 

 sold nothing excepting flrst-class honey, put 

 up in flrst-class shape; the appearance of it 

 sold it without any palaver. It is astonishing 

 to see in what shape some people market their 

 honey — the comb often as white as snow, and 

 the honey first-class in quality, but stored in 

 sections that had done duty for several years 

 — soiled, and covered with propolis until an 

 expert could scarcely tell whether they were 

 made of wood or some other material ; and 

 then used without separators, so the comb is 

 buldged into all kinds of shapes. No wonder 

 dealers want to cut down the price on such 

 stuff. It woulil be a blessing if such bee- 

 keepers could or would realize the injury 

 they are doing the industry by such slovenly, 

 slip-shod methods. Let me give just one in- 

 stance that I saw: 



A grocer showed me honey, whit.e as snow, 

 that he bought ; the man who sold it brought 

 in a 28-section super just as it was taken off 

 of the hive, not taken apart, and all covered 

 with propolis, and no separators used. You 

 know how it looked. The grocer agreed to 

 buy it and pay 10 cents per pound for what 

 he could use. In tearing it apart he found 13 

 sections that contained brood, the other 15 

 had Ijeautiful honey in them, only a little 

 buldged, and would readily have sold for 15 or 

 Iij cents per pound, if put in proper shape.
