 tened securely in the Holder by 

 a set-screw and can be ground 

 to Hny desired bevel by Insert- 

 infe the arm of the Holder into 

 a higher or lower notch of the 

 standard. While turuing the 

 crank with the right hand, the

 ard are used instead of the

cured hams and bacon, and the snowy 

 sweet lard ! 



1 think that more people die for the 

 want of hog meat than those who eat it. 

 In the early days In California chronic 

 diarrhea was common, and bacon was 

 said to be a cure when doctors failed. 

 As a retnedy in consumption and bron- 

 chial troubles, It is far superior to cod 

 liver oil. Bishop Taylor, of Africa, says, 

 " Bacon is a tonic to the stomach.'' I 

 took two treatments of Dr. Peiro's hydro- 

 gen, but helpt the matter by eating sau- 

 sage and pork in the cold weather. In 

 my youthful days I had dyspepsia, but 

 exercise in the open air relieved the 

 trouble, and I can eat hog with impu- 

 nity. I am in favor of good living.

Some Good Honey-Yields. 



Our home apiary of 56 colonies, 

 spring count, has to its credit an aver- 

 age of 333 pounds; and one taken on 

 shares, when in horrid condition (84: col- 

 onies), has an average of 254 pounds, 

 besides increasing to 95 and 115 colo- 

 nies respectively. (I ought to say, tho, 

 that we weigh what we bring from the 

 hive, and what we return, so our net 

 weights Include tho uncappings) ; 

 weighed thus, my best colony produced 

 over SOU pounds; my best 7, 2,871 

 pounds. R. R. Davison.

new swarms this year — kept all from 

 swarming as much as possible. 



We uphold Mr. Dadant in his big 

 hives. We are using b, 10 and 12 

 frames, and have decided that 12 

 frames are far ahead of anything less. 

 We will try some 16 frames next season, 

 all in one body. The reason we like 

 them is, the bees do not swarm as badly 

 in them as the 8 and 10 frame hives, 

 but when they do swarm, it takes a 12- 

 frame hive and 72 one-pound sections to 

 hive them in. 



Next season we will buy queens in the 

 spring and divide all of our colonies 

 during fruit-bloom, then feed to build 

 them up ready for the white clover 

 when it comes.

High Collars.— Of course, Mr. 

 Slim, you can wear any kind of collar 

 you wish, so far as I am concerned, but 

 since you ask my advice I say, don't 

 wear those high kinds that must nearly 

 cut your ears off, that I am certain seri- 

 ously interfere with the proper circula- 

 tion of the blood In the brain— both its 

 entrance and exit. Headaches and sore 

 throats are some of the most common re- 

 sults from wearing those inordinately 

 high collars — those that look as if they 

 were cuffs worn in the wrong place. 

 Reports in medical journals tell us that 

 several deaths have resulted from wear- 

 ing this now style of linen. It Is always 

 a safe rule to keep the neck free from
