the season enables them to raoi^e 

 readily," is very loose, because that time 

 would vary greatly with the latitude, 

 and the character of the winter, as well 

 as with the repository and the degree of 

 protection ? Even in this latitude — say 

 44-' — there are sometimes three or four 

 spells during the winter when the tem- 

 perature is such that the bees wintered 

 outside with but little protection could 

 readily move their position in the hive, 

 while in other winters there would be no 

 opportunity the whole winter through. 

 The proper and safe way, however, to 

 winter is, whether inside or out, to have 

 the temperature of the colony such as 

 will enable the bees to move for food 

 when they need it, no matter what the 

 outside temperature may be. 2. No. 

 But as to your " idea " about the matter, 

 there are several other factors. 



J. E. Pond — 1. This opens up a matter 

 that would require more space to fully 

 explain than can be devoted to the mat- 

 ter in these columns. 2. I don't just 

 understand the drift of this question. I 

 have not found deep frames better for 

 wintering. To explain fully in regard 

 to this matter would require quite an 

 amount of space ; in fact, would require 

 a long article to explain so that the an- 

 swer would be of any value. 



E. France — We winter bees on the 

 summer stands. For the Langstroth 

 frames we use two sets of S-frames, one 

 set above the other. We want the upper 

 set of 8 combs full, of honey preferred, 

 no matter if the bottom set are empty. 

 Bees need empty combs to cluster in — 

 for out-door wintering — then have their 

 food over the bees. Eight Langstroth 

 frames juU will do nicely. I would not 

 like to depend upon shallow combs, say 

 4 inches. I think the bees would eat up 

 to the top and starve in a cold winter, 

 and leave feed in the ends of the frames. 



Extracted Honey 



« rOR SALE. 



We have made arrangements whereby we 

 can furnish the Finest Basswood or AUalfa 



Extracted Honey, in 60-pound tin cans, on 

 board cars in Cbicag-o. at these prices: 1 can. 

 in a case, S!4 cents per pound ; 2 cans tn one 

 case, 8 cenls; 4 cans (2 cases) or more. 7!^ 

 ceuts. Cash must accompany each order. 



i^i^ A sample of either kind of honey will 

 be mailed to an intending- purchaser, for 10 

 cents, to cover postage, paclcing-, etc. We 

 Suaraniee purity, and that what we ship Avill 

 be equal to sample. 



Now it seems to us that here is a splendid 

 chance for any bee-keeper to supply his home 

 demand after his own crop is all sold. Or, 

 why not begin now to create a local honey- 

 trade ? Order one 60-pound can first, and 

 start out among your neighbors and friends, 

 and see what you can do. You ought to get 

 :ir. leapt 15 cents per pound in 5-pound lots, or 

 50 cuts for 8 pounds. Some maybe able to 

 do even better than that, though we think 

 that enough ought to be sold at these 

 prices to make a fairly paying business out of 

 it. Give it a good trial. Push it. It may 

 grow into a nice winter's work for you.

WHY? 



■WHY are so many persons blind to 

 their o«rn interests ? A little thonght 

 will often save great trouble. 



■WHY vi'ill women do so many im- 

 prudent things and then suffer when 

 there is no need of it ? 



'WHY' will men become careless and 

 overdo when by care they can avoid it 

 all? 



■WHY will people permit headaches, 

 lassitude, debility, strange and broken 

 health when all can easily be escaped ? 



■WHY, in fact, will men and women 

 suffer when they can become healthy 

 and prolong their lives by the use of 

 ■Warner's Safe Cure ? 



■WHY will people foolishly experi- 

 ment with inferior things when this best 

 known and only reliable remedy is so 

 easily within their reach ? 



■WHY, when you know these things, 

 reader, do you delay ? There is no time 

 like the present.
