Norton is ri^ht, ,ind glad of it, as I 

 have been working; on the same thing 

 at odd times since 189S, on the till or 

 drawer system. I learned that the col- 

 ony wouid swarm with very light (lows. 

 This has been a jioor season for sur- 

 plus honey — a continuation of short 

 flows all summer. It has been fine for 

 increase. My apiary has increast from 

 30, spring count, to 82, with dipt 

 queens, and only 1200 pounds of ex- 

 tracted honey. There is a full flow of 

 white chapperall now on, and the 

 broomweed and other fall producers 

 are looking fine. J. M. McCurdy.

 [Mr. Norton replies as follows to the 

 above. — EdiTOk.] 



In reply to the letter from J. M. Mc- 

 Curdy, I would .say that I consider the 

 chafl' packing in my hives just as nec- 

 essary in Texas as Illinois, as it equal- 

 izes the temperature, thus avoiding 

 changes that would destroy the eggs. 

 It is very essential that the bees fill 

 the body of the hive, and cluster on all 

 side- walls to attain success. Five or 

 six frames should be well filled with 

 brood, and hen's eggs may be placed 

 over the cluster as early in the spring
