first-class, no matter as to the shape'of 

 the same, whether square, obloug or 

 round. 



C. H. Dibbern — Really, I cannot see 

 much difference. For a nice appearing 

 cake of honey I have never seen any- 

 thing better than the old Sk'xBM sec- 

 tion. 



Rev. E. T. Abbott— I do not think it 

 would make any difference to the guests. 

 The worst trouble with me is to get any 

 kind of honey when I am away from 

 home. 



G. W. Demaree — I can't see why there 

 should be any difference. I prefer the 

 4Ji sections because they are standard 

 in size and shape, and can be had with- 

 out extra trouble. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater — I can see no ad- 

 vantage whatever to be gained by mak- 

 ing such a change ; and doubt if there 

 ever was a person who. as a " guest," 

 would have the least preference as to 

 the shape of the section. 



A. F. Brown — The oblong section 

 makes a much better appearance. I 

 have 20,000 such sections for next sea- 

 son's crop. My sections known as 

 " New Prize " are 'i% inches, by 5 

 inches tall, and 1% in width; 32 go in 

 a super on the hive.

Keystone Delioruing Iiistrninent.— In 



the selection of an Instrument for dehorning, 

 that one which will reff'ove the horn quick- 

 est, cutting clean and not crushing the liorn, 

 must occasion the least pain and therefore be 

 the most humane and the best. These are 

 among the claims made for the '* Keystone 

 Dehorning Clipper" by Its Inventor and 

 maker. Mr. A. C. Brosius. of CochranvtUe, Pa. 

 Write to the gentleman, who will send you 

 circulars, testimonials, etc.. which will help

 your entire satisfaction and profit.
