build a chimnej-, only smaller. Jt is 9 by 9 inches i 

 inside, and is a little hig-her than the cistern. The ^ 

 water is all around the chimney, or filter. i 



The pipe is put down in the filter, and the water j 

 filters through the brick. It costs but little. There I 

 is no need of coarse g-i-avel or charcoal or iron fil- 

 ings or spong-es. It may be asked, " Will the water | 

 filter through the brick as fast as needed?" Yes, 

 faster than a cistern pump will draw it.

COPYING THE INVENTIONS OF OTHERS, WITHOUT 

 THEIR permission; LOTTERIES, ETC. 



Dear Mr. Kditor:—! wish to commend what you 

 say about inventions. We should respect them, 

 whether patented or not. Mr. Heddon has given us 

 a valuable improvement in his honey-board and j 

 double bee-space. He should have the control of it. 

 1 like, too, what you say as to lotteries. Something 

 for nothing is the bane of the age; it is unrighteous, | 

 and no less unpatriotic to stimulate it. A. .T. Cook. |

from 16 TO 26, AND ONLY 50 LBS. Of TIONEY. 



I Started last spring with 16 colonies; increased to 

 36; this has not been a good season for bees. When 

 the white clover bloomed I thought it would be a 

 good season for honey, as the fields and roadside 

 were literally white with blossoms. Fi-om all of my 

 bees I got only fifty pounds honey, poor yield; will 

 try again. W. D. Anoell.

A CORRE( TION IN THE ISSUE OF JANUARY 15. 



I see in my report a mistake; in Gleanings, Jan. 

 15, ))age 49, where it reads, " I am now of the opin- j 

 inn that it would have been cheaper to have bought i 

 foundation." In the place of the word "founda- j 

 tion," it should read, "to have bought a mndini 

 from you." W. D. Tiiarp.
