Please Meutiou the American Bee Journal feSsS 



maker is generally supposed to understand 

 how to handle tools, but give him an order to 

 make a hive and see it it will be satisfactory. 

 Exactness of measurement beyond that to 

 which he is accustomed is demanded in the 

 making of a hive." 



This part of the reply is what is misleading. 

 I am an old-time cabinet-maker, and wish to 

 say for all time to come that a cabinet-maker 

 must know how to use tools, and, more than 

 that, he must have a practical use of them. 

 Don't say "exactness of measurements be- 

 yond that to which he is accustomed ". It is 

 not correct. 



I will give you a true illustration by giving 

 you what is a fact : 



When worlsing in the shop I made a bureau, 

 and when it was finished the " boss " came to 

 inspect the job. After taking a long look he 

 started away, but turned his head for another 

 glance, saying, " Why, you have put the 

 locks all on the bottom of the drawers, and 

 worked key-holes at that". We went back 

 to take another look. "Oh ", said I, " I left 

 the drawers upside down and then turned 

 them over, and they fit as well one way as the 

 other, and you can pull the drawers out with- 

 out a hitch with one pull, and can push them 

 in with one thumb on either corner, and 

 when one end is in so is the other " . 



But the factory-made furniture has run us 

 out of business, even it we can get lumber 

 much cheaper than the factories. And I say 

 no man can afford to make his own hives, no 

 matter how cheap he can get his lumber — 

 even it he can get it for nothing— it he can 

 get anything to do of any kind at wages of 

 ~5 cents per day and board, or ?1.00 per day 

 and board himself. Not because he can not 

 work close enough, but because hand-labor is 

 too slow, and the more accurate the work the 

 slower. This is where the machinery makes 

 the gain, for the faster it turns out the work 

 the nicer the job. B. W. Fisher.
