Bees in an Attic 
What do you think of keeping a hive 
of bees in the attic? My l)rother had a 
swarm kept that way one year, placed at 
a window so thej' had easy access to the 
outside, and they did well. Will you give 
a plan for beehive.s, such as one could get 
cut out in quantity if wanted? I want 
to keep a hive this year, but am afraid 
of having the honey stolen. If they 
were in our attic they would be safe. 
Would their being up so high be apt to 
cause them to light high in swarming, so 
it would be hard to get them? s, n. s. 
Connecticut. 
A hive of bees may be kept at an attic 
window in the way you suggest, but I 
know of no way to save the swarms from 
the colony if they are allowed to swarm 
naturally. _ This perhaps does not matter, 
however, if one colony is all that you 
wish. It is quite pos.sible, of course, that 
they would cluster within your reach 
v?hen swarming from an attic hive in the 
city. If you have a flat roof upon which, 
you can keep your bees, you will find it 
more satisfactory than an attic. Pretty 
good-sizerl apiaries are kept upon city 
roofs in this way. 
The best way to get the dimensions and 
pattern for a hive is to purchase one of 
the standard, unpatented, factory-made 
hives, in the flat. Unless one has wood¬ 
working machinery and can i)urchase suit- 
Jible lumber at reasonable iirices,_ it is 
doubtful if he would save much in at¬ 
tempting to build his own hives. They 
are very simple in construction, but 
should be accurate in dimensions. I have 
never been able to understand why fac¬ 
tory-made hives should cost as much as 
they do, but presume that “overhead” 
accounts for much of the high price. 
Apiarists who have sufficient wood-work¬ 
ing skill and the tools with which to do 
their own work certainly find it profitable 
to make their own hive.s, but, for ci person I 
in town who wants only one or two hives 
and has no equipment for making them, 1 
the proposition is different. M. B. n. 
Notes of Travel , 
At laineaster. Pa., there is a bu.siness 
sign worth recording. An immense figure 
of a red apple, about four feet in diam- ! 
eter, stands at the top of a post and | 
underneath it the name ^V. AV. Appel & | 
Co. In shape and color the apple is true 
to life. 
During a trip of 60 miles through 
Southern New York we counted 10 hay- 
rakes, five plows, three mowing machine.s 
and a reaper right out in the snowdrifts! 
On a former .iourne.v through Missouri 
Ave saw five freight cars loaded with old 
metal and .iunk from harvesting ma¬ 
chinery. Wliat there was back out of 
sight from the railroad must be im¬ 
agined. 
To offset part of this we have found 
.several farmers who bought some of this j 
old rubbish and have fittMl it together i 
to do all kinds of work. 
You can generally tell a city man on j 
the train or on the road as you travel 
through the country. Ask him what he 
thinks about farmers and country life in 
general. You will be surprised to see 
what influence the city papers are having 
in giving people a Avrong idea of farmers 
and what they want. You will have a 
job to convince these men that they have 
anything in common with country 
people. 
This shows one of the troubles in try¬ 
ing to organize a public movement to help 
farmers. Our speakers and writers are 
able to convince country people, but they 
are not so strong with a “mixed aud¬ 
ience,” We have got to have help from 
consumers and town people, and in order 
to convince them we must find a new set 
of arguments. 
One of the host arguments along this 
line is an “exhibit” of food articles 
bought at the local stores. There never 
should be a farmer meeting in any large 
town without this display. Go out and 
buy apples, bread, entire wheat and other 
foods in small quantities and show them 
with the pi'ices. Then let the people 
figure out just what share of this the 
farmer received. Th.at arguinent is 
usually unanswerable, and nothing will 
start more thought. 
A certain clothing manufacturer makes 
use of big signboards along railroad lines. 
We used to see in big letters 
OveraUfi for Mm. 
Tluu-e was a picture of a “tug of war”— 
three men on each side with a pair of 
tlu!se farmers’ overalls in place of a rope. 
Now the manufacturers have changed the 
sign to read : 
OveraUH for Men and Women! 
This is probably a com-essiou to “war 
times” and also “Votes for Women.” 
It is astonishing how^ many “robber 
hens” are going into canning jars. Farm 
women are filling the empty fruit and 
vegetable jars with non-layers and roost¬ 
ers. Boiling water and a jiu- is a sure 
tnip nest for the robber hen, and we 
doubt if the Food Administrator ivill ob¬ 
ject to this practice. It saves both grain 
and meat. i'- 
“.Tiuhes is the kind of fellow who never 
makes a move without first asking himself 
whether or not it will be good for his 
health.” “I saw him jump six feet in 
the air yesterday to dodge an automobile. 
Instinct probably told him what \vas good 
for his health, without his stopping to 
debate the matter.”—Birmingham Age- 
Tlerald.
