Farm Wagon Economy. 



The economj- of this proposition is not all 

 found in the yeVy reasonable price of the wagon 

 itself, but in the great amount of labor it will 

 save, and its great durability. The Electric 

 Wheel Co., who make this Electric Handy 

 Wagon and the now famous Electric Wheels, 

 haye solved the problem of a successful and 

 durable low-down wagon at a reasonable price. 



This wagon is composed of the best material 

 throughout— white hickory axles, steel wheels, 

 steel hounds, etc. (Guaranteed to carry 4000 lbs. 

 These Electric Wheels are 

 made to fit any wagon, and 

 make practically a new wagon 

 out of the old one. They can 

 be had in any height desired 

 aiul any width of tire up to S 

 inches. With an extra set of 

 these wheels a farmer can in- 

 terchange them with his reg- 

 nlar wheels and have a high 

 or low-down wagon at will.

leaves of tbe blackjack, and after it has 

 run its appointed time, it webs itself up in 

 one of the leaves. In eating, it starts gen- 

 erally on tbe edge, and wherever it cuts 

 one of tbe laterals running from the mid- 

 rib, there comes a drop of transparent 

 liquid, about the size of a pinbead, which, 

 if left for a day or two, gets as thick as 

 good, ripe honey, is very sweet, and is more 

 abundant after a good, heavy rain — say a 

 week after. I have noticed this for tbe last 

 two years. My bees suck this eagerly, and 

 boil in and oiit of tbe hive in a way that 

 makes me feel good, and tells me that 

 swarming-time is near at band. 



Sometimes, during a damp spell, tbe cot- 

 ton gets covered with vast numbers of 

 aphis, and tbe upper side of the leaves will 

 first get gummy, and then will even drip a 

 kind of dirty-looking sweet fluid. If there 

 is anything else on hand the bees here will 

 not touch it. Tbe same way with the cot- 

 tonwoodtree, the leaves of which will get 

 in tbe same condition. This will attract 

 myriads of flies and wasps, but never a bee. 



i have a queen that is four years old. I 

 have had ber two years. Last year she 

 kept If) Hoffman-frames full, but this year 

 only 8. Now her daughter keeps IG frames 

 going. This is what I want to do: When 

 mother and daughter swarm, cut out all 

 but two of tbe best queen-cells from each 

 hive, and then go to all the other hives, cut 

 out every one of their queen-cells, and sub- 

 stitute two of these others, cr my good ones. 



Say mother and daughter are Nos. 1 and 

 2. respectively. No. 3 has swarmed about 10 

 days ago and is pretty short of bees, as I 

 shook oft' a goodly number from the parent 

 colony, and drove them in with tbe swarm 

 on the old stand. Will it make much dif- 

 ference if I kill the young queen in No. 3 

 when either Nos. 1 or 3 swarm, and give 

 them a cell or two with protectors ? 



W. H. Alder. 



Callahan Co., Tex., Apr. 27. 



[Tbe difference would depend altogether 

 upon tbe length of time thesubstituted cell 

 would be in getting a queen to lay after tbe 

 other is removed. You can measure that 

 pretty closely by tbe length of time be- 

 tween tbe swarming of No. 3 and No. 1. If 

 they should swarm at the same time, there 

 would be no loss of time by the change of 

 cells. If No. 1 swarms S or U) days after 

 No. 3. then 8 or 10 days of laying will be 

 lost.— C. C. Miller ]
