 end to raise it that much from the hive be- 

 low. To get tbem off the bottom you must 

 pry them up a little ( '4 inch or so) a day or 

 two before cellaring, and take a pretty cool 

 day to carry tbem in. Have your cellar as 

 dark as jou can see to work in, and handle 

 them extra carefully.

Better Farm Poultry. 



Intelligent interest in fine poultry is becom- 

 ing more general from year to year. Evidence 

 of this is the markt improvement of the Poultry 

 Press and the attention paid to the subject by 

 the more freneral farm papers. . _- 2 



No small credit for this is due to the breeders 

 of poultry who have for years advertised their 

 stock, maintained exhibits and contributed in 

 many wavs to arousing and stimulating the at- 

 tention of the public at large. One of the names 

 familiar to readers of the A meriian Bee Journal 

 is John Bauscher, Jr.. of Freeport. III., whose 

 card appears in another column. Mr. Bauscher 

 has an immense establishment and makes a 

 specialty of Farm-Bred Stock. Republishes a 

 very complete and expensively prepared man- 

 ual at a merely nominal price and solicits cor- 

 respondence. Intending purchasers will do well 

 tn write him before buying, always mentioning 

 the American Bee Journal wlien writing. 



Farm Wagon Economy. C-'l' 



The economy of this proposition is not all 

 found in the very reasonable price of the wayon 

 itself, but in the great amount of labor it will 

 save, and its great durability-. The Electric 

 Wheel Co., who make this" Electric Handy 



Wairon and the now famous Electric Wheels, 

 have s Ived the problem of a successful and 

 durable low-down watron at a reasonable price. 

 This wapon is composed of 

 the best material thruout — 

 while hickory axles, steel 

 wheels, steel hounds, etc.; 

 truaranteed to carry 4,W0 lbs. 

 Tliese Electric Steel Wheels 

 aie made to fit any wagon, 

 and make practicailj- a new 

 wnt.'-on out of the old one. 

 Tliev can be had in any he'trht 

 desired, and any width of tire 

 up to H inches. With an ej<tra 

 set of these wheels a farmer 

 can interchange them with 

 his regular wheels and have a hifrh or low-dowo 

 wagon at will. Write for catalojr of the full 

 "Electric Line" to Electric Wheel Co., Box 16,
