A YEARS EXPERIENCE

A beekeeper gives his experience I'm n
late number OF the Agricultural Gazette
London), which may be of interest IN
farmers in this country. He saws: "We
commenced the season with four stocl,
hives, ana we now wish TO place the re-
suits before our brother farmers. We
have long contended that nothing on the
farm pays better, II properly managed,
than the apiary. OF course we are NOT
quite so foolish yet as to recommend any
one to devote time TO this pursuit which
ought to be expended upon more impor-
tant things. However, our wives and
daughters can do all that is wanted about
the bee farm, and we are all thankful
when they make sufficient sales to pur-
cnase ilttle necessaries, not TO mention
comforts, required IN every house"
lie then goes on to state that he kent
his bees upon the improved plan, having
learned by bitter experience that the
old.fashioned plan of "cottage skeps"
was Improbable. The result Of the wear
he sums up az follows:
4sWarIns sou. ..S15 90
money solu.. .'................... "A 25
4 well filed hives left............... 20 20
| lo1ai'' .''''.''''.. ........,S 500 20
| Deauctng expenses for hives and sugar
for feeding, he gives the next profit of
| the four stocks for one year. $1,000. He
estimates that an apiary of 20 stocks well
managed would easily realize 5000 per
annum. His plan of taking honey Is az
follow: "The simple plan we adopt is
TO take out the comb nc each end Of the
hive, about once a week in the height of
the honey season these the bees reserve
only for honey storing, whilst the central
combs are occupied in breeding. First,
blow a few whiffs of smoke in the en-
trance to quiet the inmates, then remove
the top board and take out the bars,
gently brushing off the bees. If the cells
are capped, remove them with a sharp
knife and place them in the extractor.
Upon giving it a few swings the honey is
all taken out, the bars, with the comb
un injured, is given back to the bees n
few minutes. Very freqently in few
hours they commence TO refill the cells"

1t is semi-officially announced that the Ameer Of

The Standards Bombay dispatch SAYS no attempt
will be made to induce the Ameer to receive tho
British Envoy.
The mission has already broken up General Sir

friendly and peaceable By this route force might
advance within seventy miles of Cabul. The
Khyber Pass will be avoided. 1t is not intended to
attack Cabul.
The probable effect of the demonstration will DO
to show the helplessness of the Ameer, and con-
cliate the frontier tribes by friendly treatment.
