them. I don't need to get little pails to put 

 it in as they take it from the extractor iu 

 gallon lots. If I only had lots of bees I 

 could make more out of them than in farm- 

 ing. 



I saw an article some time ago where a 

 writer claimed that eggs were left where 

 the queen laid them. I don't think so. I 

 tried one colony. It bad six old combs, so 

 I fixt up four more frames with full sheets 

 of foundation, and put two on each side of 

 the old ones. The bees went right to work 

 and drew them out. When out about half 

 way I lookt at them, and they were full of 

 ©ggs, some cells having two and three in 

 them, but the old combs had none at all. I 

 lookt the next day, and there was not an 

 egg to be seen in the new comb; they 

 moved them to the old combs to hatch. 



The prospect is good for this year. I use 

 10-frame hives, as I think they are the best. 

 It looks reasonable that the more room the 

 bees have the more bees you will have to 



Farm Wagon Economy. 



The economy of this propositiou is not all 

 found in the vpry reasonable price of the wag"on 

 itself, but in the g-reat amount of labor it will 

 save, and its great durability. The Electric 

 Wheel Co., who make this' Electric Handy 

 Wagon and the now famous Electric Wheels, 

 have solved the problem of a successful and 

 durable low-down wag"on at a reasonable price. 

 This wagon is composed of 

 the best material thruout — 

 white* hickory axles, steel 

 wheels, steel hounds, etc. ; 

 guaranteed to carry 4,000 lbs. 

 These Electric Steel Wheels 

 are made to fit any wapon, 

 and make practically a new 

 wag-on out of the old one. 

 The}' can be had in any height 

 desired, and any width of tire 

 up to 8 inches. With an extra 

 set of these wheels a farmer 

 can interchange them with 

 his reg-ular wheels and have a high or low-down 

 wag^on at will. Write for catalog of the full 

 " Electric Line " to Electric Wheel Co., Box 16, 

 Quincv, 111. Mention the Bee Journal.

I^e>v Ai<lN to Xriiclc Farming'. — 



The number o£ Hrms in business to-day that 

 have an unbroken record of half a century 

 is comparatively small, but the Ames Plow 

 Co., of Bostou, Mass., is one of the few. 

 However, their new catalog now before us 

 shows that pride in their past does not mo- 

 nopolize their attention. We do not re- 

 member to have seen a more modern line of 

 hand-cultivating tools anywhere. Prof. I. 

 P. Roberts, author of "The Fertility of 

 Land," forcibly says: "The one funda- 

 mental labor of agriculture is the stirring 

 and mixing of the soil."' Truck farming 

 more than any other requires the benefit of 

 all the cultivation it is pcssible to give, and 

 in these days of close competition, the judi- 

 cious selection of implements is productive 

 of increast returns in the way of larger and 

 better yield at reduced cost. Truck farm- 

 ers and gardeners generally understand 

 the sterling qualities of the genuine Math- 

 ews Seeder, which they have known for so 

 many years, and those prime favorites, the 

 Mathews New Universal, as the latest im- 

 provements are called, are popular every- 

 where. The whole line of separate drills 

 and wheel hoes is the most complete ever 

 offered. Send for free book illustrating 

 and describing this means of success in the 

 Market Garden, to Ames Plow Co., Boston, 

 Mass., and mention the American Bee 

 Journal.
