 weeks later. The cells shown meas- 

 ure (taking them from left to right) 

 the first, one inch ; the second, 99- 

 100 ; the fifth, 87-100 below the base of 

 the shell, and extend ,'4 to 's of an inch 

 in the shell. About 's of an inch be- 

 low the base of the shell is as short as 

 I save, destroying those that are under 

 that. Chas. M. Darrow.

The "Bidsom" Bee-Feeder Again. 



Referring to Dr..Miller's answer to 

 " Illinois ", on page 698, I would say 

 there is no advantage of the so-called 

 " Bidsom Feeder ", described on page 

 588,over the " Original Miller Feeder ", 

 as shown in " Forty Years Among the 

 Bees ", on page 125, for it is simply 

 that idea adapted to the Danzenbaker 

 super which I am using ; but as a 

 home-made article its advantages over 

 the improved "Miller Feeder", as 

 listed in supply catalogs at 35 cents 

 each, are these : 



1. Its cost is practically nothing, to 

 any one in the least handy with tools 

 in cutting up old store-boxes. 



2. Its use with the Danzenbaker 

 super, being made up separate so as to 

 hang inside of the super ; and which, 

 by slight alteration, may also be set 

 on the end (tin) supports inside of any 

 other ordinary section super. 



That is all ; no competition what-
