COVERS. 

 There are some very great advantiyes in having a cover llat 

 on lop. and plain aiul simple, made ol a sinyie lioaril. like the 

 Simplicity cover. It can l>c used intcrcliantrealiiy as a boltoni- 

 board; it permits the hives t.i he iiiled np like scpiare biixes id 

 merchandise; they can be sliippid at less rates, because there 

 are no projections'and corners to be kieicked otr. etc. The di.s- 

 ad vantages are tliat it is too sh allow U>i- w interint,'. without an 

 upper story, or for a tier of surplus boxes; it u-ives little or no 

 chance for ventilation; it can not be r;iised with one hand easi- 

 ly. As one cover can nut well please everybody, and combine 

 all these advantages, we furnish the one shown above. This 

 cover is made with the thin roof-boaids screwed against the 

 under side of the ri(l!j;c-bi):ii-d, and the holes thus left in the 

 gable ends are covered with wiie clotli, ;inil serve as ventila- 

 tors. It is of sutticient <hptli to cover a .■r;ite of 28 1-lb. section 

 boxes, or a good-sized chatf cushion for wintering, and can 

 easily be raised w ilh one hand by the ridge-board, because, ex- 

 cept this ridge board, it is all made of K-inch stuff.
