 straight, of even thickness, and tlrmly at- 

 tached to all four sides; both wood and comb 

 unsoiled by travel-stain, or otherwise: all the 

 cells sealed except the row of cells next the 

 wood. 



No. 1.— All sections well filled, but combs 

 uneven or crooked, detached at the bottom. 

 or with but few cells unsealed: both wood 

 and comb unsoiled by travel-stalu or other-

eight times. I mowed the weeds off once 

 in the summer. 



The second was sowed in a strip a rod or 

 so wide, starting at the plowing ou one side 

 of the road under some large trees, and 

 ending just inside a pasture. 



The other was sowed in a Nebraska tree 

 claim that had not been cultivated for 

 some years, and grown up to sunflowers. 



Now for the result: They were all about 

 alike, all sprouted and came up very scat- 

 tering, grew very spindling, and all died 

 before fall. 



Some 25 miles from here, near old Fort 

 Kearney, on the Platte bottom, it grows 

 without any coaxing, and has taken pos- 

 session of the roadbeds, and got into some 

 parts in spits of a bitter fight on the part 

 of the farmers. I sowed Alsike a few days 

 before the sweet clover, and have a nice 

 stand in the tree rows of my orchard. 



My bees have wintered well, in 8. 10. 12, 

 and 16 frame dovetail hives, on the summer 

 stands, put in rows inches apart, with the 

 entrances left open, packt with chaff, and a 

 load of straw on top of each 10 hives.

Fralt Sncccss.-The success of the fruit- 

 grower of the present time depends more 

 largely upon the appearance arid quality of 

 the fruit itself than anything elsn. Gnarled, 

 knotty fruit, or that which shows the effect of 

 Insect workiusrs. must be sold at a very low 

 price, if it finds a market at all. Uneven and 

 scrawny bunches of grapes, which show the 

 effects of Philoxera or other funtrold diseases, 

 lose money to their grower. The sickly. In- 

 sipid or blltor peaches and plums, which In- 

 dicate yellows, mildew, black-knot. etc.. find 

 poor sale at any price. Practically the same 

 is true of berries and small fruits. It is only 

 the beat fruit that escapes the keenest oom-
