ND VANTAGES OF JONES' urpp
The use Of this hive secures The Lqbor or,I.

object is gained by dividing the hive ne ao m,S
as the fitness occurs. In all kinds Of sv OooH
ing hives, the bees usually lie on the outside ~
the hive, two weeks before swarming, and Tina
that portion or the best of the season Il ,os,
lf to this is added the fact, that one ,L;, ,Jo
the bees in all such hives lie outside the b;v W
in large clustres, from the beginning Of Inn.
to the beginning of September, without swarm
ing at all, il will readily be seen how ores, !.

bees, that cover the comb. SwarmiHp reduce
the Old stock, by abstracting more than one
hall OF the bees and none of the comb: conse-
quently portion of the comb is left bare and
unprotected by the bees, and the moth enter,

the bees occupy the same comb after The d;v;s'-
ion, that they did previously; so that Il n.
comb be covered before the division. il is NO
less so after.
Another of the many evils obviaied BY the
use OF Jones' hive is he loss of srarms, by
their Hight 10 the woods, which not unlte-
quenty takes place in all swarming hives.
WINE double the amount OF labor ana pIOht
compared with the use of other hives, Is thus
realized by jones' hive, the apiarian viii find.
at the same time, proportionally less care and
attention necessary on his part. So trihing
indeed is the labor required, that any persoo
who WISHES, may keep bets. The division or
the hive--whieh may take place week on
more before they would swarm-may be per-
formed in a minute. Thus the aged and de.
erepid-men Of business-proIessiona gentle
men-and even lemales-who have been hith-
erto prevented from keeping bees, and deprived
OF the luxury and profit attending the employ
ment, on account Of the time and labor reouir-
ed in the management of swarming hives
may do so with ease and pleasure. Viewed in
this light, as entirely removing all such incoD+
veniences, jones' hive may be regarded as
public beneat, and source of profit not only to
the owner but to the country at large.
Mr. S. Cune has bought the right for windham
County, except Londonderry, for selling Jones'
Bee Hive and will attend TO all orders for the same
promptly.
We have one Of them at our Office which we
shall be happy to show to our friends
They viii be found for sale at MIR Dwinell's store.
