 not been since, and that has been some 10 

 or 15 years ago. I would like to have some 

 one else try ground black pepper. Put it 

 in a pepper-box and pepper them well, and 

 I think you will be surprised how they get 

 out. I was. S. Burton.

Just Boomed on White Clover. 



I have 54 colonies of bees in frame hives. 

 They just boomed on white clover, and also 

 started in well on basswood, but the con- 

 tinued hot, dry weather has checked the 

 flow from that source somewhat, and in a 

 very few more days the bloom will be gone.
