NOTES BY THE WAY. 



Dear Reader, to enable you the better to succeed, set up a 

 standard of perfection that you wish to attain in your manage- 

 ment. Never mind if it appears almost impossible to gain 

 that end ; if you will only keep the desired object in view, and 

 work earnestly, depend upon it you will be almost certain to 

 reach your goal. 



In these days there are so many ladies looking out for an 

 occupation which will be helpful in meeting the general 

 expenses at home, that the subject of modern bee-keeping 

 must be one that will command greater attention from the 

 gentler sex in the future. 



If in possession of a small space of garden ground a few 

 liives of bees can be cultivated in a manner that will bring a 

 handsome profit and a delightful sense of independence to the 

 happy owner of the industrious workers. 



In the absence of a garden plot, bees may be placed in 

 ■cabinet hives — ^two to a window — ^inside of any room which 

 does not face a main street ; and thus protected will do better 

 than outsidea
