'!'<= telephone and the suburban electric railway are 

 workins wonderful changes in the life of the farmer's family today. The former 

 isolation which drove many of the young men and women from the farm to the c»v 

 has been banished by the many telephone lines now in use all overThis country:

 TELEPHONES 



have brought the cost of building farmers lines within the means of 

 every larmer. Time is near at hand when every farm will have 

 own telephone and the farmer's family will be in close touch »i 

 the whole neighborhood, as well as the entire world. It is imnoss 

 ble to estimate the value, in dollars and cents, of the telephone t. 

 the rural home. Its influence on the boys and girls in keeping 

 them contented and at homs, is incalculable. The farmer will 

 reap benefits every yo.ir worth considerably more than the entire 

 costto him-in keeping tab on the markets, in getting help in 

 busy times and in many other ways. Write for free book F- 80

colony in the spring. Those I fixed 

 early did not swarm, but others did. 

 Those that swarmed I hived on full 

 sheets of foundation, moved the old 

 hive to a new location, put the swarm 

 on the old stand, then in 3 or 4 days (or 

 after the new swarm had got well at 

 work in its new hive), I went through 

 the old hive, cut out all queen-cells 

 and put them back on top of the new 

 swarm. This has worked first-rate 

 with me this time, although I do not 

 know as it would be the proper thing 

 to do in all cases. At any rate I have 

 gotten quite a good yield of honey, and 

 my colonies are all strong at the be- 

 ginning of winter. 



I had about 1800 pounds of extracted 

 and 750 pounds of comb honey, and 

 would have had more extracted if I had 

 gotten my extractor sooner. But it was
