in plenty of butter. Tlie cabbages are turned heads 

 down on clean drained turf, and covered witii corn- 

 stalks and a little earth. The lima beans were pick- 

 ed just before the first heavy frost, and lasted sever- 

 al weeks; kept jrreen in i)ods, in a cool place. John 

 Gould, of Aurora, raises enough for a small hotel; 

 pulls them, pole and all, before killinji: frosts, and 

 sets poles and vines on end compactly, in a base- 

 ment, and has delicious green lima beans half of the 

 winter. He has no i)atent on it. I mean to copy his 

 plan next year, for the lima bean is the most deli- 

 cious of the bean varieties. 



The amount of food and relish we have trot out 

 of our little grardea this year and previous ones is 

 simply amazing:, considoriiiK the cost. TheStowell's 

 iiVerg-reen sweet corn was a fe.ist for weeks The 

 nutmeg' melons at breakfast-time .are (nie of the 

 luxuries at the $lper-day hotels. We had them for 

 weeks at a, money cost of 15 cents for seed for we 

 planted plenty and had more i han we could eat 

 Another year we mean to do h •, tur and start all the 

 berries, rhubarb, and aspara-iM. Who will join us 

 in this means of proinotnig health and comfort, and 

 of diminishing: doctors' bills V

1. The most perfect Hive ever offered 

 to the public. 



2. It has Closed-end Frames, which 

 can be more rapidly handhid than any 

 other frame, without killing a single bee. 



3. The Top-bars project over tlie Hive 

 ends, enabling easy and rapid handling 

 of the Frames. This feature favors 

 narrow spaces between the bars, and 

 makes the most perfect non-burr-comb 

 frame extant. 



4. They can be manipulated without 

 working with fingers among the bees, or 

 having them daubed with propolis. 



.5. The hive may be contracted or ex- 

 panded, as desired. 



6. The frames are provided with an 

 improved and rapid method of putting 

 in comb foundation. 



" 7. The frames are L. size. We also 

 make a deep-frame hive L. length.
