THE COTTAGE AND FARM BEE KEEPER. 



he window is passed, it having previously been securely attached to 

 he upper side of the shelf or frame, fixed in the window, upon which 

 he boxes rest* Of course, the bottom board runs closely up to the 

 lock, and is secured in the same manner as the boards of the lower 



ir of colonies. It is well, where the aspect of the window faces the 

 n, to hang up in it a piece of thick drugget, which, more than any- 

 ing else, will tend to keep the boxes cool. The same will also ex- 

 ide the frost in winter. 



^ The dotted Hues c c show the place where the block rests on the window frame. The 

 cker and back part of the block is that which is screwed down to the shelf or frame.
