"A farmer sliould he able to construct cvirvthing 

 needed *in Ihe tarni"('i') If he wants a wagon, buy a few 

 tools, spi>kos. hubs, felloes, etc. and make it. His 

 time is nulhimi— "he can't afford to help support bijj 

 factories. " The average farnierwill advise you ii» 

 "tell that to Ihe marines, ' but many of them listen to 

 just such arguments on the fence question. Are 

 they wise?

an opening in the side, 3x.5 inches, covered 

 with wire cloth for ventilation. 



Open the tree on the top over the bees, so 

 as to expose all the combs. Take out the 

 combs and fit suitable ones into the frames, 

 and tie them with corset braid tight euough 

 to draw the false or sliding bottom lath up 

 beneath close. Use two strings to each 

 comb at least. When all the combs are out 

 of the tree, and all suitable ones in the 

 frames, set the box so that the bees can 

 enter easily. Gather up a few handfuls 

 and dump them into the box before screw- 

 ing the top on. and with a feather and a 

 little smoke drive the rest toward the en- 

 trance. When all are in, close tlie en- 

 trance. 



Transfer the frames to the hive, when 

 you get borne, put on the cover and dump 

 the bees out of the carrier on a sheet so 

 they can go in. When the combs are well 

 sealed to the frames, remove the braid and 

 false bottom lath, and examine for the 

 queen. A. E. Tatlor.

 Dundee, 111.— has Issued a 32page price-list 

 of Evergreens, Fruit Trees, Ornaments, etc. 

 Resides this, there are carefully prepared 

 directions and instructions for handling, 

 planting and ca'lng for evergreens, gained by 

 30 years' experience, which are worth hun- 

 dreds of dollars to every planter. 



On a supplement there is a short essay 

 taken from the Iowa State Horticultural Re- 

 port for 1897. which gives the history of a 



"Noble Evergreen Grove" of 500 Scotch 

 pines seven years after planting. The owner 

 values it at $1,000, and others say good things 

 about such groves. Every farm owner eopk- 

 Ing the best happiness as well as protection 

 for winter and summer should read this 

 essay.

 offered .50 of the greatest liargalns ever 

 offered In this ciiuntry. For Sl.OO.one can
