around a hive and not take it up if you are 

 the leastwise careful. I 'm tellin you the 

 ]iostiferous skunks dont coddle none to this 

 sort of wire arraiiijeiuonts. That woaut what 

 their feet was made for, and they aint no 

 fancy tif^jht wire artists and they aint in 

 no position to paw at a hive or roll bees 

 around on the ground when their feet is 

 messed up in wire and their mental energies 

 is all directed to seein if they cant some 

 ways get out of such a doggoned disconcertin 

 situashun. A couple steel traps right at 

 each front corner of the hive does business 

 too but it stirs up a unpleasantness later 

 tl;at lasts around there all summer, and 

 jiraps you carry a big part of this unpleas- 

 antness home with you where your wife is 

 and you'll find you aint welcome. I pre- 

 soom my anty skunk invenshun is too dog- 

 gone much trouble like most beekeepin 

 short cuts but it works jest the same. Its on 

 the same principul that cattle wont cross a 

 cattle guard of sharp sided sticks placed 

 close together lengthwise. Their feet 

 woant made for no such eontrapshun.
