Then the stove is almost a necessity alout the 

 honey-house for many other purposes, such as 

 warming bee-feed, melting old coiubs in hot 

 water, and pressing the same, and many other 

 purposes, without troubling the good wife's 

 kitchen-stove, which is pretty sure to be more 

 or less museed up when so used. 



The outlook for so using a tank or any- 

 thing else this season for honey is very dis- 

 couraging. We have had only a little over 2 

 inches of rain so far this season, and nearly 

 all has fallen within the last 10 days. No 

 signs of any growth yet that produces honey. 

 A little shade of green in the wet places. 

 Ordinarily our early bloom is all out by this 

 time, and bees are humming lively.
