mentioned, and it -works all right. Why, 

 great Scott! only think, I am satisfied with 

 100 pounds per colony, because I thought 

 that was about all there was in the business 

 (that is, comb houeyj ; but 250 and 400 

 pounds— how is that, Mr. Coverdale ? I 

 can't see you, but I imagine there is a 

 broad smile on your face, and if these 

 Hoosiers can produce honey at that rate, it 

 beats natural gas or an oil-well. I don't 

 believe a word of it. I deny everything, 

 and insist upon more proof.

Bees Were in Fine Condition. 



One week ago I carried my bees out of 

 the cellar, and it made me sweat in great 

 shape. To-day I would want an overcoat 

 and mittens to do the same work. The 

 wind is blowing a regular gale, and it is 

 freezing all the time. My bees were in fine 

 condition, only one colony dead out of 42, 

 and that one was queenless when put into 

 the cellar. I shall carry them back in the 

 cellar if it doesn't get warmer by the 27th.
