make vigorous stocks of all his after swarms. 
49. Should be adapted to the necessities of those who wish to manage bees on the
old fashioned plan, and have neither taste nor knowledge for any improvements. 
50. The hive and fixtures should [crossed out: illegible] [inserted: present] a neat and attractive appearance, and should
[illegible] be susceptible of being made highly ornamental for those who require it.
