on uiilil the cells are all full, especially near 

 the top. This is done with two frames, and 

 (jne is put on each side of the liiood-nest, after 

 two of the empty ones have been taken away. 



Now, should they fet short of pollen or be- 

 come bad in any way, so they could not carry 

 on brood-rearing, I should take a little sweet- 

 ened wnlcr and sprinkle it in the eells iind 

 then turn the frame over and shake itout well. 

 Then take some iiulverized corn-meal and 

 wheat Hour—about two of meal to one of Hour 

 —sift it with the hand over the cells I have 

 dampened, till they are not quite full ; this 

 done, hit the under side of the frame 3 or 4 

 times to settle it in the cells to the proper 

 beifjht. Now put the frame on the outside of 

 one of the frames with feed in that has just 

 been given — the warmest side is better. With 

 this method I never have been unable to start 

 brood-rearing in from b to 13 days. Of course 

 if one does not want to start brood-rearing 

 leave the hives unprotected and I think that 

 will be all that is necessary; but if that does 

 not do better leave out the pollen entirely 

 and feed the syrup when necessary. 



I winter my bees l)y putting the hives 3 or 4 

 inches apart, facing the South, and build a 

 stone wall on both sides and at the back, leav- 

 ing about 3 feet at the back fo. leaves and 18 

 inches at the ends. Stuff well with leaves, 

 and pack it down hard between the hives. Put 

 on supers containing chaff cushions. Then 

 lay strips of boards 3 feet by B inches over the 

 space between the hives, put brush or boards 

 over the leaves, and then put stones on top of 

 it all. I am well satislied with the results.

HERIT ALWAYS WINS. 



The hard times of the past three or 

 four years have been very destructive 

 to all industrial affairs, and the rail- 

 roads have had unusual amount of dif- 

 ficulty in making both ends meet. 

 Roads that have, during- this trying 

 period, earned dividends while at the 

 same time affording high-class trans- 

 portation facilities to their patrons, 

 have, indeed, been fortunate. And 

 such an event speaks well for the man- 

 agement of the roads. 



The record of the Nickel Plate Road 

 during the recent period of industrial 

 depression, has indeed been remark- 

 able, and it speaks most eloquently of 

 he conservative judgment of the 

 managers. For this road has made 

 great and steady progress in the ma- 

 terial improvement of its roadway 

 and appliances, and in perfecting its 

 equipment. The interests of the pub- 

 lic have been in no wise neglected ; in 

 fact, the success of this road has inured 

 to the benefit of the public, as much, if 

 not more, than to the stockholders. 

 The condition of the road to-day shows 

 this. Great and valuable improve- 

 ments of a permanent character have 

 been made — in the shape of strength- 

 ening the roadway, bridges and other 

 accessories, and procuring new and 

 improved safety appliances ; new 

 coaches have been added, elegant Pull- 

 man sleeping-cars put on, new and 

 powerful engines have been placed in 

 service, and everything has been done 

 to raise the standard of the road, to 

 perfect its service, and to give it a 

 leading place among the best roads in 

 the country. The result has been ob- 

 vious. The people liave observed the 

 progressive spirit of this road, have 

 given it a liberal patronage, have en- 

 joyed its excellent facilities, and that 

 tells the whole story of a highly suc- 

 cessful enterprise. 



Among the most noteworthy im- 

 provements effected by the Nickel 

 Plate Road is the introduction of a 

 first-class dining-car service, which 

 has won the approval of the best class 

 of patrons. Then the coaches have 

 been illuminated by the brilliant 

 Pintsch gas, heated by steam, and 

 placed in care of a colored porter, so 

 the passengers have had the best that 

 money can afford, at the lowest rates. 

 The thru train service of the Nickel 

 Plate, running in connection with the 

 West Shore and Fitchburg Railroads 

 over the great Hoosac Tunnel Route, 

 between New York, Boston and Chi- 

 cago — ranks with the best in the coun- 

 try, and has become deservedly popu- 

 lar. Elegant new coaches, and pala- 

 tial Pullman buffet sleeping-cars run 

 thru without change ; the service is 

 unexcelled, the time fast, scenery most 

 fascinating. 



Located along the south shore of 

 Lake Erie are many substantial and 

 attractive summer resorts that are 

 yearly growing in popularity, and this 

 class of travel promises a continual 

 increasing source of revenue to the 

 Nickel Plate Road. 48A4t
