The little hive of bees is to show and exhibit the three 

 sexes of bees found in all hives from May to October. The 

 queen is the mother of all ; she lays all the eggs. The work- 

 er bees gather the honey pollen and feed the young. The 

 drone is the male bee and the largest bee, and is stingless. 



STATEMENT OF MRS. JOHN DAY. 



I present for your inspection two varieties of dried apples — 

 Baldwin and Porter — six pounds or more. The apples were 

 pared with an apple parer, cut by hand and strung and dried 

 in the open air. Three bright sunny days will dry then 

 sufficiently.
