after getting notches in the ends of the sides 

 and ends, has come to have quite a boom, 

 but tliey are not covered by a patent. How 

 can .such in on as Dr. Miller so frecjuently 

 and seriously discuss the beauties of the' 

 Hoffman frame, and such men as E. K. Root 

 gravely discuss the endwise swelling of the 

 new Heddon frame and propolis behind the 

 end bars as serious obji^ctionsto that frame? 

 Tieel sure theii faces toust relax into smiles' 

 sometimes when they contemplate their ef^i 

 fusions'on these tojji s, or is it because the' 

 cnetoraers of the one and the help of -the 

 other have so miich time on their hands' and 

 so deliyht in working over hives in the hot 

 sun that they j) refer to handle frames rather 

 than not? Or perhaps it is a love of theoriz- 

 ing-^some men are affected in tliat way. It' 

 is said that such find great pleasure when' 

 writing on practical toxiics in drawing en- 

 tirely on their imagination for their facts. 

 Theory indee.l is a great thing. How it 

 helps ainan out when he is beaten on the' 

 facts! Wlvon the facts are against him he 

 can maintain his position on the plain of 

 theory and still feel that he is not a bit 

 stubborn and entirely bpou to et)iivictioii;'

 liaiidling hives instead of frames, for it

Then again it seems a thankless t^sk/Bo 

 un.^ertake to give information which \l)ae 

 keepers wilfully shut their eyes against— ^in- 

 formation which they would rather not liuve, 

 and the destru tion of which would cause 

 them to rejoice. Is it because there is a 

 patent on the hive or on account of jealousy 

 of Mr. Heddon that so few are willing when 

 hives and frames are umloT codsideration to 

 open their eyes to his hive and his frame ? 

 To be sure after almost endless captious 

 criticism the Heddon honey board lias come 

 to be recognized, and the old Heddoii' hive,
