Wio think Mr. (^ninby in his new circular 

 nnignldes tin; dillicuity or^ctting out the first 

 <v)mb in suspended frame hives. W(( experi- 

 enc<' so lit. lie dilTleulty of this kind in onr own 

 Apiary tiial, we hav<! scarcely thought of it, 

 and wc can hardly reniend)er to have heard the 

 objection meidioned by others, yet hives with 

 Hus|)en(led frames are in use; by thousands. 

 We have taken the pains to make iiKjuiry of 

 o\\Y neighi)()rs, ami even those who do not use 

 the UKtlal corners, say, since they havc^ sirait- 

 cned 1,l;eir eombs as tlu'y should be, they never 

 think of having any dillicuity of (his kind. 



We like his Smoker l)ecanse it is "right to 

 the point" and does not get sparks on the saw- 

 dust and (juilts; we dislike it lu'cause it is a 

 l)olher t(» keep it going, because it gets tilled 

 np with soot, and because it costs f 1.50, but 

 ntUil somebody can give us something clieaj)-

 are not sjilislled with the bits of rotten wt)od

 earnest reijuest we have consented to ilelay it, 

 until some ol the piouetTs in the early days of 

 the Italians in this country, and several others 

 can be add<'d. The following are at hand.

This winter has jiwt about cleaned out all the bee-; 

 in ttii-i nacxion. C lusa, want of care and nothing els ■. 

 Many hfire. as well as elsewhere, seem to think thit, 

 .tacc/essful b^je-keepSnif, is a mystery. Give me goo \ 

 colonies and plenty of stores (as Muth say.si in the fall, 

 and a flark dry and warm cellar. That Is the mystery 

 of winterini^ lK;es. If the honey is cidered there is ni> 

 mystery. If I leed poor hay to my cows or any other 

 htock, is St a mystery that tiiey come out of the winter 

 "Hprin{< poor I'" and especially if I have not given them 

 profxjr [trotectioii ? llo^t no swarms the past winter 

 and all are in tirst rate condition, plenty of honey an(t 

 young l>ees. Ifuve feil three bushels of oat anil rve
