years is a chaff hive ; the brood-chambers 

 are packed with chaff. It never gets wet or 

 damp, aud bees store one-half more honey 

 in them than in a single-walled hive, and 

 sometimes two and three times as much, 

 there being room for more sections than on 

 single-walled hives. Then, you can regu- 

 late them for heat and cold to suit your 

 notion. The brood-nest is double-walled, 

 and packed with chaff', which makes it so 

 warm that the bees soon go up in the sur- 

 plus apartment to work. I would not give 

 one chaff hive for 3 or 3 single-walled 

 ones. The top of my chaff hive hinges on 

 the front board, and shuts down, so that a 

 lock can be put on it, aud lock it up, and no 

 one can get in without breaking the lock.

Past Season in Pennsylvania. 



I am well pleased with the Bee JouRNiVi,, 

 and could hardly do without it any more. 

 I have 17 colonies of bees, which I think 

 are in pretty good condition. I believe 

 they all have enough stores for the winter. 

 I had 8 colonies in the spring of 1889, in- 

 creased them to 17, but I did not get very 

 much surplus honey, as it was too cool and 

 wet last spring, and it rained nearly all 

 summer. In the fall the weather was mid- 

 dling good, but we cannot produce honey 

 here as in the Western and Southern 

 States. If I had all Italian bees, they 

 would do much better. I have one colony 

 of nearly all Italians, which did the best of 

 all. There are lots of bee-keepers here that 

 know they have bees, and that is about all.

CATARRH. 



CATARRHAL DEAFNESS-HAY FEVER. 

 A New Home Treatment. 



Sufferers are not generally aware that 

 these diseases are contagious, or that they 

 are due to the presence of living parasites 

 in the lining membrane of the nose and 

 eustachian tubes. Microscopic research, 

 however, has proved this to be a fact, and 

 the result of this discovery is that a simple 

 remedy has been formulated whereby 

 catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever 

 are permanently cured in from one to three 

 simple applications made at home by the 

 patient once in two weeks. 



N. B. — This treatment is not a snuff or an 

 ointment; both have been discarded by 

 reputable physicians as injurious. A 

 pamphlet explaining this new treatment is 

 sent free on receipt of stamp to pay pos- 

 tage, by A. H. Dixon & Son, 337 and 339 

 West King Street, Toronto, Canada. — 

 Christian Admocate. 



Sufferers from Catarrhal troubles should 

 carefully read the above.

 ter which the Illustrated Home Journal

 1890 for |$I.6U, it the order is received at 

 this office by March 31, 1890 — when this 

 offer win end, the regular rate being $1.75.
