 snpers, and run for chunk comb honey 

 entirely. I sell it at home atl2j2 cents 

 per pound. 



I keep the colonies strong, and do 

 not have any trouble with moths. I 

 have taken 90 pounds of honey from 

 some of my colonies this year, poor as 

 the season has been. X just cleaned up 

 for the season to-day (Sept. 20). The 

 colonies are all in good condition for 

 winter. I winter them on the summer 

 stands, but always give some kind of 

 protection. The weather is too change- 

 able here to winter them unprotected.

Scraping Sections on Wire-Cloth. 



Chester A. Olmstead explained his 

 rapid method of handling comb honey, 

 scraping and crating it. He said a great 

 deal of time is unnecessarily wasted by 

 many a bee-keeper in getting his honey 

 ready for the market because his comb- 

 honey supers are faulty. The scalloped 

 bottom-bars of section-holders, he said. 

 are a nuisance, as the sections and bot- 

 tom-bars do not fit each other _ exactly, 

 causing propolis to be deposited in places 

 where it can not be gotten at very read- 



ily. If all the gluing is done on the 

 bottom or top of the section or the out 

 edges of the Cbeeway) section, then it 

 can be scraped off easily and quickly 

 by sliding the sections over a tightly- 

 stretched piece of wire screen of one- 

 nuarter inch mesh; whereas, if any gire 

 is deposited in the scallops it has to be 

 removed with a knife, which takes more 

 time. 



He does not use a top-bar to his sec- 

 tion-holders ; but for what reason I do 

 not now recollect. . The section-holder
