made away with all kinds of insects, so I 

 suppose the birds are hard prest for food. 



bees that were left out-doors last winter 

 almost all died. I heard of one man who 

 had IS. lost all; another who had 1*2 or 14, 

 has one left ; another, who had a big dry- 

 goods box that has bad a colony in it for 

 four or five years, always wintered on sum- 

 mer stands without protection, is now out of 

 the business. My own loss is about 10 per 

 cent, mostly all owing to leaving out doors, 

 my cave being too small to hold all. 



The bees have done fairly well up to the 

 present, but fruit-bloom is a failure on ac- 

 count of cold winds and rain, so I suppose 

 we will have to feed some. 



All my alsike clover winterkilled, but 

 there is some white clover left, and perhaps 

 the present wet weather may bring it on in 

 good "shape" yet. E. S. Miles.

Ppesepving Fruit with Honey. 



On page 221 is an item in regard to pre- 

 serving fruit with honey instead of sugar. 

 Some years since I carried on business in 

 St. Louis, and among my stock I kept fruit 

 and honey. A customer of mine wisbt me 

 to be sure to secure her a couple of bushels 

 of damson plums, and as they were very 

 scarce in that vicinity. I had to send to In- 

 diana for them, and obtained about four 

 bushels; by the time I got them and paid 

 the charges and first cost they stood me a 

 pretty good figure, and then my customer 

 backt out, and 1 was out — both pocket and 

 temper. 



I kept the plums a few days, iind could 

 not sell them. I had in the shop about 500 

 pounds of extracted clover boney, very 

 fine, and I decided either to spoil a whole 

 lot of honey and all the plums, or else 

 make my money out of them. 



I treated the plums the same as I would 

 to preserve them with sugar, but instead 

 of pound for pound I used two pounds of 

 honey to one of plums. I put them up in 

 gallon stone jars, covered them with paper.
