ventilation ofHiye. In cellars,


When movable comb hives are used. COW
ering of some light cloth or carpeting should
be placed over the top of the frames to retain
heat and allow the moisture to pass off. The
entrance of the hives should be left open the
full width of the hive by three-eighths of an
inch in hight. The hive should be tipped
slightly forward SO that any water that may
accumulate will pass off. Box hives should
be inverted and some carpeting placed over
them. All hives should be placed on stands,
previously prepared. several inches from the
bottom of the cellar. Hives may be placed
two or three tiers deep if desired, by allowing
space of say half an inch between hives of
the first and succeeding tiers, which is easily
done by laying on two sticks over the frames
or top of each hive. When many bees are
kept in cellar it should have some ventila-
ton. which is easily effected by leaving the
windows ajar and filling the window frame
full of dry chaff which should be pressed in
tightly and held in place by boards on the out
side and by wire screen on the inside, thus
allowing the dampness to pass off, and at the
same time admitting pure air and excluding
all light; and thus we would leave our bees
until the middle of April. The labor neces-
sary to put our bees in the cellar is but trif-
ing and we have the satisfaction, when
winter winds howl, of knowing that our little
laborers are in good warm quarters.

As thsy grope and grippe in search Of light,
Sentinel!
One by one the laegards all,
Ssntinei
Dead upon the pavement fall,
Aud the ashes hide them like pail,
Sentinel!
Hastel bastsl no longer llnger here,
Sentinel
Noueht can avail thy baubla spear.
Against the foe which draweth near,
Sentinel!
He stood at the gate with his iron spear,
Silently.
In Roman soldiers common gear,
And looked on Death as he drew near,
Silently.
Seventeen centuries day by day,
Steadily,
Had boys grown men. and men grown gray,
And nations fallen to decay,
Steadily:
When the city buried 70 long from sight,
Pompeii;
With mattock and spade was brought to light
Street and wall, and fresoo bright
Pompeii.
And, 10! q gate and man who bore
Stiff and grim
A spear which he held as he held Of yore,
Even seventeen hundred years before,
Stiff and grim.
All hail, thou faithful mani all hall
Sentinel
The sermon thou preached shall never fail,
It'll sun and star shall shrink and pale,
Sentinel
