For the benefit Of those intereited, the
following statements from we'll known
men arc respectfully submitted. The
query is how many farmers can afford to
experiment q these men have. Is it not
wiser to profit by the experience Of others
than to incur unnecessary expense. If
you buy the Mccormick you are sure Of
your grain in good. shape, and without
trouble no matter how bad the weather

HARMONY, M,nn., May &. 1874
TO'WHOM.l IT MAY CONCERN:
This is to certify that in 1871 pur-
chased an Edward Harvester. and after
trying in vain to cut my grain with it, I
was compelled to give it up, and paid
&5O;O0;to have them take it back; they
then told me that there were improve
ments. ON the Edward Harvester, and 1t
would work. good, and 80 Z bought anoth~
er one in 1873, and after trying it to my
hearts content, I gave them $1s5,00 to
take that back, and I would not have
another one of them on my farm unless
they would send their machine shops
along with it, and pay me for my trouble
and time.

Care of Honey Bees in Winter.

MANY successful apiarianS contend that
there is no better way to winter honey
bees than to allow the hive to remain iso-
lated in the yard where they have been
kept during the summer and autumn
and they point to their success in many
years past for reliable evidence to cor
roborate the correctness of their asser-
ton. The fact that honey bees have been
kept satisfactorily in the foregoing man
ner does not prove that such practice
can he recommended as the best under
all circumstances for hundreds of api-
arianS have attempted to keep their bees
without proper protection during the
winter, and have lost nearly every skip.
| There is one fact in which all intelligent
beekeepers will agree, which is, that IA
colony of bees will pass the winter best
when the hive is kept in Il location where
the temperature will not be rapidly af-
fected by the rapid transitions from warm
| to very cold, and rice Uersa. One
| thing in particular should be guard
ed against, which is this: No
hive should be placed where it
will be exposed even for single hour to
the rays of the sun. When Il hive stands
in the sunshine for n few hours, the walls
Will be warmed up, the little workers vii!
be enlivened and the pleasant outlook
will invite thousands of them to spread
their wings and fly away to the fields.
But, before they have flown a hundred
yards, they are frequently chilled to such
an extent that they drop to the ground
and perish, as they cannot recover sufli-
cient strength to return to their homes
This teaches the eminent importance of
guarding every hive from the fury of
fierce winds and also from the cheerful
sunshine. When a hive is in an isolated
place it needs Il cover t. turn the rain
and snow, and boards, rails or brush
placed on every side TO obscure the light
of the sun and to break the force of a
cold wind. SO long as the bees are kept
in the shade, well protected, where they
can discover little or no light, the tenn
perature of the interior of the hive will
be more uniform, and only limited num-
Der will escape from the hives and per
