salt will preserve the wood, and make a 

 lasting job, and also a clean floor. 



Again, I use salt to tell me when the at- 

 mosphere is too damp in the room for the 

 safety of my crop of honey, from July to 

 October. One or two small dishes of salt— 

 a tea-saucer is all right— are filled about 

 two-thirds full of fine table-salt, and are 

 placed on the pile of honey, and all 1 have 

 to do is to keep the salt dry, for as long as 

 dry and crumbly, your room is all right. 

 Whenever you find the salt damp, or little 

 drops of brine above the saucer, where 

 little particles of salt have lodged, you may 

 know that a fire is needed at once to dry 

 out the room. 



I use salt in front of all my hives to kill 

 out the grass, so that every colony has a 

 clean front yard of their own, with no 

 alighting-board to get out of place, as 

 every hive sets flat on the ground, on a 

 loose bottom-board. 



Again, I use salt to scrub my kitchen 

 floor when it gets griudy, as a few quarts 

 of coarse salt scattered over the floor when 

 quite wet, and thoroughly workt with a 

 broom, will give the floor a fresh appear- 

 ance, the same as it does on brass or copper 

 when corroded. 



Bees appear to be in fine condition up to 

 date, but have another month to stay in 

 the cellar yet, unless this spring proves an 

 exception. Ira Bauber.
