HIVE OVER 



Fo that it will rest upon its back end, use a little smoke 

 along' the lower edge= of the brood-combs, and it is an 

 easy matter to determine if the bees are building queen- 

 cells and gettin.ET leady io swarm The only difficulty in 

 this performance is that the supers aie likely to slide 

 off, but Mr. F. G. Cyrenius, of New York, has invented a 

 simple, cheap clamp that can be put on the hive in five 

 seconds, no matter how many supers there are on it, 

 and it will hold the supers on so securely that the hive 



might be rolled about the yard without their coming 

 loose. By this arrangement it is an eapy mstter to ex- 

 amine 100 colonies in an hour. This device is illustrated 

 and described in the Bee-keepers Review foi May.

Haminond's Slug Shot for Potato Bugs, Currant, Cabbage Worms, Etc. 



To THE Editor of American Gardening: 



In your issue of June 18, on page 399, I notice a good article on the Colora- 

 do Beetle or Potato bug. For the benefit ot your numerous readers I would 

 advise them to trv Hammond's Slug Shot. I have used it here this season 

 with excellent results, on Potatoes, Egg Plants, Cucumbers, and Squash, 

 for Potato Bugs and, also, for Striped Beetles, and it is the best remedy I 

 know of, simple and effective. 1 purchased two of the Dusters which he ad- 

 vertised in your paper, and they are very useful articles. The best time to 

 dust the plants is early morning, as the substance adheres much better when 

 the dew is on. A light dusting is sufficient, and woe betide the bugs or the 

 larvse. Once they get a taste of it they shrivel up right away.
