very cross. I finally divided them 

 again, and the new colony went to 

 work splendidly the same day. The 

 old one did not do any better, so I left 

 it five days longer, then killed the old 

 queen, and they went to work at once. 

 When I killed the old queen I cut out 

 all the queen-cells and left the colony 

 queenless for five days. Before intro- 

 ducing the new queen I lookt thru the 

 hive carefully, and found a strip ol 

 new comb built on one of the brood- 

 frames about two inches long with 

 three queen-cells on it. Each cell was 

 capt over and had a queen in it. I 

 wish some one would tell me how those 

 queen-eggs got there. I have had six 

 queens and lost only one, and it was 

 my fault they did not accept her. 



A swarm issued July 10 which I gave 

 foundation starters and a queen, and 

 it has filled its hive and 24 sections; 

 and on Aug. 5 it cast another swarm, 

 the largest I ever saw,

Bees Surprised Him. 



I arrived home from the Chicago 

 convention at noon, Sept. 3, none the 

 worse from my ten days' visit in the 

 Windy City. Matters at home seemed 

 to have gone on about as well as if I 

 had not been absent. Strange, isn't 

 it ? The bees, too, thought to surprise 

 me would be about the right thing to 

 do, by getting a "move on," which 

 they seem to have done, and have kept 

 it up ever since. I have abandoned 

 the thought of having to feed for win- 

 tering the bees, and am nursing the 

 prospect for at least a little surplus to 

 help make buckwheat cakes a little 

 more relishsome for my own family. 

 In my communication under " General 

 Items," page 572, the type make me 

 say "ounces" instead of "pounds." 

 The scales colony is now 12-'4 pounds 

 heavier than it was Aug. 24 — not a big 

 gain, but better than a loss. What is 

 true of this colony is apparently true 

 of my 40 others. F. W. Hall.

 increast facilities will permit reaching- after 

 new trade. The " Keystone Knife" has hosts

 undoubtedly add to the name and fame it al- 

 ready enjoys. Address, M. T. Phillips, Pom-
