DUDCh. Now run the machine rapidly, 

 holding a file lightly on these sharp 

 points, until the work done on sections 

 is smooth. 



I think by following these directions 

 you will have the very best section- 

 cleaner that has come to my notice. It 

 does the work smoothly and rapidly, and 

 these little cone points show little ten- 

 dency to clog, but the propolis is 

 almost entirely removed by holding a 

 piece of soft wood on, and reversing the 

 machine ; but It can be cleaned with hot 

 water or steam, or by holding a blaze 

 under it may all be burned off. 



This has the merit of being cheap. 

 Any one can make it. It is also durable, 

 as one will last years; and last, but not 

 least, I believe it can be made to satisfy 

 every demand for good work. My large 

 belt wheel is 21 inches in diameter, the 

 belt pulley above is IJ-a inches, with '2,yi- 

 Inch roller. These put on a J-^-inch 

 shaft giving very high speed.

Eupatorium Aromaticum. 



The plant sent by Mr. Bucy, of Ken- 

 tucky, Is one of the large genus Eupato- 

 rium, to which belong the bonesets, 

 thoroughworts, Joe pye weeds. The 

 plant In question is probably E. nromat- 

 Icum. 



Prof. Cook says of the Eupatorlums, 

 speaking of July plants, for honey pur- 

 poses : "Now commence to bloom the 

 numerous Eupatorlums, or bonesets and 

 thoroughworts, which fill all the marshes 

 of our country, and the hives, as well, 

 with their rich, golden nectar." 



All the Eupatorlums, as 1 have before 

 stated, are well worth cultivating by 

 bee-keepers for their superior honey- 

 producing qualities.

Wintered Well and Bocioin^ Now. 



Bees are booming, and swarming since 

 the first of May. I have some colonies 

 that are storing honey in the sections, 

 from fruit-bloom. I have 17 colonies — 

 did not lose one during the winter — and 

 were all on the summer stands. I have 

 never before had such a strong, clean lot 

 of bees at this season of the year, and 

 will say for the benefit of " Iowa," on 

 page 294, that I gave them top ventila- 

 tion, too, but with different results. 



I started with 12 colonies last season, 

 which gave me 526 pounds of comb 

 honey, mostly clover. My bees carried 

 in pollen on the first day of March, and 

 on the first day of April drones were fly- 

 ing. How is that for Western Pennsyl- 

 vania? T. C. Kkllt. 



Butler Co., Pa., May 16. 



Honey from Willows, Etc. 



My bees did well last season, altho my 

 neighbors' bees did nothing. I got from 

 100 to 125 pounds per colony, and we 

 have good prospects this season, if we 

 get rain soon enough to keep clover 

 booming, for that is our main flow. I 

 got about 24 pounds per colony this 

 spring from white willow.
