T Supers or Section-Holders i 



Query 974.— Which are better, T supers, 

 or wide frames without top-bars, called " sec- 

 tion-holders ?"— Iowa. 



E. France — I don't know. 



J. M. Hambaugh — I don't know. 



B. Taylor — I like T supers best. 

 Jas. A. Stone — I do not like either. 

 Dr. C. C. Miller — I like T supers bet- 

 ter. 



W. R. Graham — I prefer section-hold- 

 ers. 



Eugene Secor — I use both, and like 

 both. 



R. L. Taylor — Neither. I would not 

 use either. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — I've no experience 

 with either. 



W. G. Larrabee — I think I should pre- 

 fer T supers. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater — I give preference 

 to the T super. 



Rev. M. Mahin — As I do not use 

 either, I do not know. 



Allen Pringle — Both inferior. I want 

 wide-frames ivWi top-bars. 



C. H. Dibbern — I should prefer the 

 section-holders with movable tops. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — We would rec- 

 ommend T supers or section-crates. 



Wm. M. Barnum — The T super. Wide- 

 frames are an abomination in the land. 



Rev. Euierson T. Abbott — I do not 

 know. I have no use for either of them. 



P. H. El wood — I haven't used T supers, 

 and wouldn't like to decide. Both are 

 good. 



H. D. Cutting — The section-holders 

 may be a good arrangement, but I pre- 

 fer a good T super. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — I should prefer a 

 section-crate or holder embracing the 

 principle of the T supers. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — I do not know. All 

 depends upon which are most easily 

 manipulated. Both are good. 



G. M. Doolittle — I use wide-frames 

 with top-bars, aud consider them better 

 than either of those mentioned. 



J. E. Pond — There is some difference 

 of opinion in regard to this matter, but 

 I judge the evidence favors the T. I 

 should not, however, throw away broad- 

 frames, if I was fully supplied, for the 

 purpose of using T supers in their place. 



G. W. Demaree — I dumped into the 

 waste corner — a sort of Valley of Hin- 

 nom " — a great lot of "section-holders," 

 ten years ago. I use the T section-case 

 because it is the cleanest and most sim- 

 ple section-holder 1 have any knowledge 

 of.
