Bees Ont doors.-Raise the hives and
clean the stands. Brush dead bees from
among the combs and cut out mouldv
pieces. Look to the strength of your
stocks, unite weak swarms and feed Iipbt
ones. The best way to feed now is to
open the holes in the ton. put thereon
honey sealed in the comb, and cover with
a close hitting box. Scatter unbolted rye
flour in large shallow boxes near the
hives before the bees get a taste of nollen
from the flowers. Look out for loss OF
queens-abOut one in fifty is the ayera ore.
Immature bees and eggs on the bottom
board are the indications of her presence
With movable combs she NAV be readily
found. No matter how strong now. q
queenless stock would probably run down
by swarming time. If such a hive should
be neglected and chance to be diseased. if
would undoubtedly be robbed and the
fearful pestilence spread broadcast. Tn
uniting swarms, hives partly or entirely
filled with combs are left. IF these are
clean and in good condition. save them
with care. From ten to fifteen pounds of
honey are required for the secretion of
one OF wax, hence, neper melt an mood
tcoT'ter comb. Such, thoroughly frozen in
the winter and kept protected from the
moth, Will keep indefinitely, but if the
bees are taken out too late to freeze it.
fumigatc with sulphur occasionally. Put
swarms into such hives, taking special
care not to break the combs when new
and heavy with honey.
bees In'dO0rs.-Set out on the first warm
day-a few at first, as far apart as posi-
DE, more In two or three hours and so on.
Place them as nearly as possible on stands
occupied by same hives last year. Bees
will probably mix some with utmost care:
examine In day or two, and equalize by
causing strong and weak to INTERCHANGE
stands. If cold weather superveues. the
weak ones should be set back till it passes
Don't tempt the bees to rob by leaving
refuse money or comb in their reach

THEreason of the superiority of the watches
made in this country by machinery over the
foreign watches made by hand, is selfevident
1t Is an impossibility that the hand should bc
controlled and guided with the eXactness of u
machine. In Europe the different parts of a
watch are made by different persons perhaps
hundred miles apart. One whole family,
father, mother and children, are all engaged in
the process of making one Ofthe five wheels of
watch another family make another wheel,
and SO on. These different parts are purchased
by the Watch makers, and the watch is put
together and made ready for the market. Per
haps it is sent To this country, and after being
Sold part becomes broken, and the watch is
useless. 1t can be taken to Il Watch maker
and he can make by hond a new piece hut the
cost of repairing will be great, and where the
parts have passed through many different
hands in their construction and repair, it will
be a miracle if they are all made with that ac-
curacy and adjusted To each other with the
nicely that is indispensable TO the correct run
ming of watch.
In contrast To this crude and disorganized
system of manufacturing, the mind turns with
relief To the method we have adopted in this
country, a. developed at the factory ofthe Ma
tional Watch Company, at Elgm, Ill. An i'm
mense building is erected, n corps of the finest
mechanics that can bc obtained is employed.
Superintendent of mrivalled inventive
genius Is placed in charge. Machines are then
invented and constructed for the manufacture
OF every plate, wheel, pinion and screw used
III watch. The different parts of the factory
are filed up with these machines Men and
girls are employed to operate them. The
wheels, the pinions and the screws are turned
out by thousands, every part eractly alike
These are brought together, under the same
root, made into complete watches, and sent
out into the market. If after purchase,
wheel breaks the dealer has but to send To the
factory and purchase its duplicate, and the
watch is as good as new Surely this brief
comparison is sufficient To convince any re-
fecting person ofthe superiority of the Amcri-
can mechanical system. II is superior in
theory and fact. The Elgin Watches are sell
ing In all parts of the country, and are recog-
nized by dealers and experts as surprising in
durability and correct time keeping their
foreign and other competitors.
