tracted honey during the last 10 years, 

 and have always used barrels, and 

 never had any complaint of leakage. 

 You can judge of my surprise, perhaps, 

 when I opened the box containing two 

 cans of honey which I bought recently, 

 and which I have just received, to find 

 one of the cans had leakt. The cans 

 must have been ruptured soon after 

 being shipt, as there was a layer of 

 honey on the bottom and some on two 

 sides of the can that was candied quite 

 thick, and what remained in the box 

 was in the same condition. The top of 

 the can is torn from the side where it 

 was soldered, and the side of the can is 

 somewhat kinkt at that edge. 



When the cans were weighed, the 

 full one weighed 63 pounds, and the 

 other 42 pounds, showing a loss of 21 

 pounds. I opened both of the cans to 

 see the condition of the hone5', and 

 both were candied quite hard.

[We have known several instances 

 this year, of tin cans breaking, and 

 thereby causing a loss of honey. They 

 were poorly made cans, and should not 

 have been used in the first place. Of 

 course, a poor tin can is almost as bad 

 as a leaky barrel, only with a can there 

 can't more than 60 pounds of honey 

 get away, while with a barrel— well, it 

 depends upon its size. — Editor.] 



Dividing- Cheap Bee-Feedep. 



Last fall I bought 12 colonies of bees 

 but was robbed out. I tried dividing 

 but made a bad job of it. Some colo- 

 nies didn't have queens, some queens 

 didn't lay, and some swarmed and 

 made the parent colonies too weak, so
