Bees are ill ;;i«h1 shape for the hoiiey-llow 

 when if comes. It lias been cold and windy 

 until the last few days. We have had rain and 

 snow in the mountains of late, so we will 

 have water for irri;,'ation, and 1 think we will 

 have a fair crop of honey.

Stone for Bee-Cellar Wall. 



On page -DT. " Illinois" asks the question, 

 " Which would you prefer to use for the walls 

 of a bee-cellar, brick or stone V to which Dr. 

 Miller replies as follows: 



" I don't, know. If there is no trouble 

 about keepinjx it warm enough, perhaps brick 

 might be better, for brick being- more porous 

 would allow more air to pass through the 

 wall." 



I may say that I prefer stone to brick for a 

 cellar wall; because a stone wall may be so 

 built that it will be practically air-light; then 

 the ventilation can be controlled to suit the 

 weather conditions, which can not be done 

 with a porous wall. I would even provide 

 against the air coming in throu{;h under the 

 wall. 



Then there is another thing, the air that 

 passes through a porous wall of a bee-cellar 

 will be made impure by the impurities with 

 which said wall will be saturated from cellar 

 air. With a properly built stone wall it is 

 always sweet. 



When I built my cellar wall I paid the men 

 by the day, and I had a definite bargain with 

 them that I should have the privilege to stand 

 right by them when the wall was being built 

 and boss the job, and I did, and all went 

 along plea.santly and well; but the building 

 cost more than the ordinary way would have 

 done, but it gives good satisfaction, and that 

 is a valuable consideration to me. 



I ask the Doctor's pardon, but may be he 

 will agree with me, after all.
