 they were not wrapped and packed 

 properly or there was no upward pas-

 be so cold they can not move to the

 else is all right. Irving Long.

Light Yield of Honey. 



The honey harvest the past season 

 was light, taking the county through. 

 Frojn 27 colonies, spring count, I har- 

 vested 900 pounds of white comb honey. 

 We got no fall honey in this county, 

 but bees filled the hives quite well for 

 winter. I have just got my bees into 

 the cellar for winter. I increased to 

 43 colonies, which are in fair condi- 

 tion. John Cline.

Marketing Honey— Wintering Bees 

 —Sections. 



This has not been as good a honey 

 year as last. White clover yielded very 

 little as it winter-killed last winter 

 badly, and I think the young clover did 

 not produce much. Still I got 2,540 

 pounds or about 60 pounds spring 

 count, some of it nice basswood. I sell 

 my honey all at home, going over the 

 town of about 3,000 inhabitants about 

 3 or 4 times every fall, and I find that 

 people will buy who never call for 

 honey at the stores. When they see it 

 they want it, or at least the children 

 do. My wife sells what she can from 

 the house, not like theEnglish woman, 

 on commission ; she keeps it all and 

 calls for more when she wants it. 



I put my bees in the cellar the 14th 

 of this month. The bottoms of the 

 hives are nailed on. I tier up the 54 

 hives 3 high in rows, 5 without any 

 special ventilation in a room parti- 

 tioned off in the back end of my cellar 

 12x12 feet. I have practiced this for 20 

 years and my loss has not averaged 5 

 percent, except when they have been 

 short of stores. 



I use the 4,'4^x4X sections, 7 to the 

 foot. 28 in a case. My hives are 19x14, 

 outside measurement, and 9'2 deep, so 

 you can see I have no waste room in 

 the hives, nor a lot of traps to look 

 after in the fall or winter. I believe 

 in simplicity and utility. The one- 

 piece square section is good enough for 

 me. Sensible people will soon find out 

 that the tall section fad is more for 



The his brother of the original or Illi- 

 nois tvpe of Keid's Yellow Dent. Bred 

 to fit" the Iowa iilea of lonsjer ears, 

 rougher grains, plenty of vigor, and a

 way. I sell it either ear or shelled.
