 when the calling of a doctor means a dangerous 

 delay, besides great suffering and a heavy bill, 

 there is nothing else so good as a bottle of

SAVED THE CHILDREN. 



Clara City. Minn., June 14, 1901. 

 We had five children sick with diphtheria last winter und carried 

 them all through in one week without any doctor. Wntklno* 

 Vecelable Anodyne JLlnlmciit should be used at once as soon as 

 any symptoms aprK-ar. We mixed two teaspoonl'uls of Watkins' 

 Liniment with two of vine^>:a^ and one of salt. Gave some of the 

 mixture once aji hour, also rubbed the Liniment on out>iide of neck.

each of these, first placing a piece of burlap 

 over the frames of the hive so as to cover all 

 Ijut about an inch or an inch and a half at the 

 end of the hive. The bees will remove the 

 honey from the super to the brood-chamber in 

 the day-time and go baclt to the brood-cham- 

 ber for the night. Before putting on the bur- 

 lap the bees, or many of them, would stay in 

 the super all of the time. With the burlap 

 on they remove the uncapped honey in a short 

 time; then I remove all cleaned out sections, 

 and with the uncapping knife uncap the rest. 

 The honey in these soon goes below. Putting- 

 on supers and uncapping honey is generally 

 done late in the afternoon, or early in the 

 morning. 



I will relate how I get the cappings from 

 extracting combs cleaned up after they are 

 tolerably well drained. Instead of washing- 

 them 1 put them in shallow boxes with ex- 

 pansive bottoms, or in large tin pans, and set 

 where the bees can have free access to them. 

 Soon there is a rolling and tumbling of bee& 

 in the boxes and pans, and the cappings look 

 as if they had become living and moving 

 masses. The bees go clear through them, ex- 

 cept that now and then there will be found a. 

 sticky mass at the Iwttom which they cannot 

 easily penetrate. These masses are loosened 

 up Inte in the evening or early in the morning- 

 Ijefore the bees are astir, and by the end of 

 the second day the picnic is over, and I have, 

 lots of cappings as dry as cornmeal.

Next Year— Honey-Boapds— Unfin- 

 ished Sections and Extraettng- 

 Combs. 



White clover was still blooming a little on 

 Oct. 2,5, and bees were carrying in pollen of a 

 dark red color, .lust where this pollen cam& 

 from I do not know. 



I have a portion of my apiary in chaff- 

 hives, all packed with leaves on the top of th& 

 frames; the balance are in simplicity or dove- 

 tailed hives, and are to be left on the summer 

 stands. The hives are well supplied witli 

 honey, with the exception of 3 or 4, whicii. 

 were late swarms. 



Next year promises to be the best whitfc 

 clover season that has been known in this, 

 locality, as there is a heavy growth of it 

 everywhere, and if nothing happens to it — 

 well, I am going to get ready for a big crop, 

 anyhow, by having plenty of surplus arrange- 

 ments for my hives. 



I made an improvement in honey-boards the- 

 past season by putting an 8x10 glass in the 

 center of the board, so that the inside of the 

 super could !« examined without disturbing- 

 the bees. The board is the same size as the 

 hive, and need not be removed until the super 

 is filled. .Just try them and see. 



All of my extracting-comlis and unfinished 

 sections were placed in the upper story of the 

 hives of the latest swarms along in September,, 

 so the honey could be removed by the bees, 

 thereby accomplishing two objects, that of 

 supplying the bees with more stores for win- 

 ter, and getting all the unsealed honey fronk 

 the combs ready for the next year. The un- 

 sealed honey often sours or candies in the 

 comb, making them almost unfit for use thfe 

 following season. Usually the bees will carry- 

 the honey down, if you drop a little down, 

 among the bees and get them started.

The Carniolan-Italian Cross. 



In response to a call for information con- 

 cerning the Carniolan-Italian cross of bees,. 

 I will say that I have in one of my apiaries, 

 side by side, .5 colonies in 10-frame hives, rep- 

 resentatives of their respective strains, each 

 having characteristics of its strain, and I 

 could not say which I prefer. 



First in the row is the Buckeye 3-banded 

 long-tongue, every bee alike; their superiors- 

 do not exist. Next, imported Carniolan, just 

 ended her third season ; next the Muih strain 

 golden Italian ; then two Carniolan-Italians. 



It was exceedingly interesting to study 

 closely the nature of each during the last
