 you Beo it is with the bees as with the incuba- 

 tor, it must become several decrees warmer 

 on the outside before it can alTect the inside; 

 the same rule holds with the bees. All must 

 wait for Nature to turn a bright smile on us, 

 which, by our foolish fussiiii;, may cause the 

 destruction of thousands of (jur lirst lleld- 

 force before she shines on us again. So, 

 again, i say, <fint't hot/nr yimr htrs. Only on 

 warm days, when they can lly freely, and not 

 then if you know the colony to be in the 

 aforesaid condition, queen, honey, pollen, 

 and bees. 



I have a way of feedinsr back partly filled 

 sections, which, if there are other bees in your 

 neighborhood, or in robbing time, can not be 

 excelled. The way I proceed is to move the 

 colony on the bottom-board far enough to 

 leave a :'.i-in«h space open at the back. Now 

 take the box or hive-body, or, perhaps, your 

 hives are on the ground, but no matter, all 

 that is necessary is to place a bottom-board at 

 the back of the hive, and close up to the 

 other bottom ; be sure to have the bee-spacing 

 cleats on the bottoms come just even in 

 height and square. Now, place a hive-body 

 on the two, and if you have arranged them 

 properly the body will sit on the two bot- 

 toms. Move the body forward enough so 

 that there will be a ;'*i-inch space at the back 

 and bottom of the brood-chamber, and '4-inch 

 space at the front and bottom of the hive- 

 body. This '4 -inch space should be on the 

 inside of the empty body, which I, when so 

 arranged, call my " back feeder." Two or 

 three hive-bodies may be used in placing one 

 on the other by covering crosswise the hive 

 which contains the colony. I have fed back 

 from brood-combs 37 pounds, and secured 22 

 pounds, net weight, in sections with drawn 

 combs to startiwith. This colony has about fl 

 pounds in the brood-combs more than the 

 others; this shows that 31 pounds out, of the 

 37 were placed in the combs of honey to be 

 placed in the hives over and above the other 

 colonies that sit on the same bench. This

HiiuliiiK ('<)i-ii-l''o(ltIcr. With tljc big- 

 gest and pei'lia),s I he heaviest crop of fodder 

 ever harvested, ami with the llields cut up as 

 they are by the unusual fall rains, farmers are 

 puzzled to know just how to take care of their 

 foddder. In 

 thisemergency 

 we want to call 

 your attention 

 to the I o w - 

 down!) road 

 w hee 1 Handy 

 Wagon made 

 by the P^lectric 

 Wheel Co., of 

 Q u i u c y. Ills. 

 This wagon at 

 I times is one 

 of the most 

 CO n ve n i c nl 

 and useful ar- 

 tides a man 

 could have on 

 the farm. Is 

 parti c u 1 arly 

 useful in get- 

 ting in iiic ,..,,M, , luid other late, fall work. 

 Most of our readers who haveused this wagon 

 are profuse in their praises of it. Some say 

 they would not be without a handy wagon for 

 three times what it cost. 



Those of our readers who do not feel that 

 they wish to make the necessary outlay to 

 buy^ one of the wagons at the present time, 

 may have a low-down, broad-tired wagon by 

 simply buying a set of the Electric Wheels 

 such as are shown in the cut. They are made 

 in a great variety of heights, and are made to 

 lit any wagon. The simple removing of the 

 old, high wheels and substituting a set of the 

 Electric's makes a handy, convenient, low- 

 down wagon at a very small item of cost. 



All the goods turned out by the Electric 

 Wheel Company are made of the best ma- 

 terial, and the^' are the kind of people we 

 have trtlked so much about in the past. 

 That is to say, they are wise enough to know 



that the way tholr Buccena haB been achleveaJ 

 la by making every buyer a loyal entbualastlc 

 exponent of their gooJii. 



We suggest that you get one of their free 

 catalogs, and see If their proposition dijCK not 

 impress you as Ijeing a particularly go<-td one 

 at this lime of year. Write for the catalog 

 to-day, anil please mention the American Bee 

 .lournal when writing to them.
