About Beehiyes.

A TALL hive, when extremes are avoid
ed, usually gives the best results. The de-
mand for box honey has increased over
that for swarms. We want hives to &C.
commodate us in that respect The tall
hive that was best for swarms gave but
little. A hive with large top will take
on more boxes than the tall small one,
and the bees will often fill them as quick.
ly as the smaller number. This encour.
aged us to try still larger surface for
boxes. This was done by placing them
at the side of the combs. The depth of
our boxes is so inches; one placed on
the other made eleven inches, Just the
height of our frames. Two courses can
be set on the side of the comb, and enough
can be put on both sides-when the
length Of ours--to hold eighty pounds,
besides those on the top.
Some bee-keepers put several tiers OF
boxes on smaller hives. But experience
shows us that those farthest from the
body of the hive are worked in very slow.
ly. There is great gain in having every
box as near as possible TO the main hive
l cannot think of another shape that will
admit 80 much room for boxes in close
connection with the hive. If the long
hive stood on the end, making it tall
hive, the same number of boxes might be
used, but they would have to be piled ON
each other to greater depth, making il
more trouble to take off boxes from the
lower ones when only those were full
The main combs of the hive would often
become heavy and break loose and fall to
the bottom. If piece to support them
were put across, it would divide the CONT
so that the queen would keen the brood
in the lower part. The space above
would be filled with honey and the boxes
on the top would be about the same as il
they were on tier or two of boxes below

The Cost or Sham.

By AND BY, perhaps, we shall get 1t
beaten into our heads that sham, consid-
cred from purely business point OF view,
doesn't pay; indeed, is the poorest OF all
possible investments. 1t is high time we
did. If this Mill River homicide sets the
American public thinking on the subject,
the dead will not have died in vain. A
reservoir is built on the cheap and fiimsy
plan; il bursts, kills 100 people, and de-
vastates four villages. Isn't II pretty plain
figuring that, in this case, sham hasn't
paid? Aside from the lives lost--and
human life in these days has a money
value, measurable in dollars and cents, as
corporations are beginning to find out
a good many hundred thousand dollars
worth of property, accumulated by the
labor and thrift of years, has been wiped
out in u very few minutes. Isn't the fail
ure Of the reservoirs owners to see that II
was honestly and substantially built in
the first instance pretty plain case OF
penny wisdom and pound.foolishnes
And this is but one case out Of hundreds
and thousands. 1t Is lamentable and
alarming fact that sham work of all
sorts has become very common with
us of late years; so common as to be
accepted by too many Of MS as matter
| of course. Every Intelligent man sees
the fact; every thoughtful man deplores
| 1t. For sham Is merely q shorter word
for dishonesty. 1t is at once lie and a
theft. But the children have got hold OF
law of the universe when they say in
their games that cheating never prospers
1t may seem to prosper for while. Wit
ness Jim Fisk; witness Tweed; witness
Cakes Ames; witness dozens and scores
of men who have fiourished for a season
on the street. But the prosperity that is
built on fraud Ia built on the sand; one
day the flood comes, there Is crash, and
that is the end. The sham reservoir
gives way; the sham house tumbles in j;
the sham fire.proof city shrivels to ashes (;
| the sham values collapse; the sham bank
breaks the sham craftsmanship, Christian
or otherwise, is found out Carlyle was
right: Lying is not permitted in this
universe" The Almighty has set His
canon against it. 1t Is as bad political
economy as 1t is bad morals. The worst
of 1t Is that part of the penalty always
and unavoidably falls upon the innocent.
