About a year E_go. we had a jieasasit visit lt«om J. S. 

 Jiliil, of Mount Health}', 0-, who keei>s his bees ijermaii- 

 I'utJy iiacked the yeai- round in such, or similar hives as 

 ■the chaff <wie w<3 have described. He got no honey in 

 a^.). JK)t a lb., asid i£ we reEjeinber right, liad to buy 

 >.ugar largely to keep iiis bees froin starving. Was he 

 disconragefl ? Not at all ^ took it very clveerf ully, fixed 

 -up the bees well, aod said he guessed they would pay for 

 i he sugar sometime. Now listen to tlHs, ye faint liearted ; 



'■■Hil^^ hon^'«K>p tills y>ear was oser 10.000 lbs., com- 

 nieicmgin the spring with, 1 baUeve, 81 stands. He 

 i.'Hised also 6.000 .iiounds of ma^'hine extracted honey, .as 

 nice as anybody has, and you kiiow we feel a little proud 

 of the quality of the honey raisedin this part of the coun- 

 try. 1 iKiuglit ail of his lioney, and I am sure I have never 

 before seeu as nice a lot of comb hoiiey as Hill's. There 

 was about 3,800 lbs., in combs weighing from li t^ !,?« 

 ■each. Every comb in the let was perfect and separate 

 .troju the rest ; it is a model lot of coinb honey., and it 

 would do you good to look at it. C. F. Muth, Cin., Oc-t 23.''
