A Practical Way Of Wintering
Bees; By a practical Bee
Keeper.

To the Eailor of The Post and T1iG;-
Ine.
l noticed an inquiry in the farm.
er's letter box, how to winter bees. l
have had the best succes when have
packed in chat. take a dry goods
box made of inch boards and match
ed; have the box large enough 80
there will be a space Of 4 or 5 inches
all around the hive, and to IL inches
on top. Set the hive in the box.
Make an entrance in one side Of the
box to correspond with the entrance
in the hive, so the bees can go out
and in at pleasure. Cover the pass
age way between the entrance in the
box and the one in the hive with a
bridge m .de by mailing a piece Of
single on two blocks high enough
for the bees to pass under convent
emily; this will keep the chaff from
clogging up the entrance. Now pre-.
pare your hive, ifa movable frame,
by removing the honey board; lay a
couple of small strips across the
frames about two inches apart, near
the center, SO the bees can pass over
the top of the frames under the quilt
for their food. Lay a piece Of brown
duck or some strong cloth ov-
or the top of the hive. Pack all
around and on top with wheat. oat
or buckwheat chaf. Il should be
perfectly dry and packed as tight as
possible. If a box hive is used, sew
aral large holes should be bored in
the top Of the hive for the moisture
to pass, and cover with a cloth as
before directed. If the hive is full
of comb / think it better to raise it

up a little from the bottom of the
box by placing strips of lath under
the hive. This allows the dead bees,
etc, to drop clearof the combs. Cover
the box so that water or nice cannot
get in, and let it alone until warm,
settled weather. I wintered Is

They are always grazing, paying
not the least heed to the hour. When
not actually eating they generally
give utterance to a peculiar cry.
Strong men often Jump out Of bed at

when hearing that cry.
What meaning is attached to this
cry
Men of deepest Thought
agreed that it signifies to waks

has ever been pronounced in the an.
mails Of the world-namely, th,t of
death against the Saviour with the
remarks which the journal Troll has
collected, and the knowledge of
which must be interesting to every
Christian. Until now we are not
aware that it has eve appeared in
the German papers. 1t is word for
word as follows:
Sentence pronounced by Pontius
Plate, ihtendant Of the Lower Prov.
ince of Galilee that Jesus Of MAJ.
areth snail suffer death by the cross.
Tn the SEVENTEEN year of the reign
of the Emperor Tiberius. and on
the twenty fourth day Of the Month
Of March, in the holy city Of Jeru-
salem, during the pontiGcate Of An
mas Caiaphus.
Pontius Plate, the intendant Of
the lower Galilee, sitting to Judg
ment in the presidential seat of Pre-
tor, sentenced Jesus of Nazareth to
death on the cross, between robbers,
as the numerous and notorious testi-
monies Of the people prove:
/. Jesus is a misleader.
9. He his excited the people to
sedition.
8. He is an enemy to the laws.
%. He calls himself fal<ely the
King of Israel.
s.. He went into the temple follow,
ed by q multitude carrying palms in
theirGaands.
Orders from the first centurion,
Quirrilus Cornelius to bring him to
the place of execution
Forbid all persons, rich or poor,
to prevent the execution of Jesus.
The witnesses who have signed
the execution Of JESUS are:
1. Daniel Robani, Phariaee.
2. John Zorobebel.

4. Capet.
Jesus to be taken out of Jerusalem
through the gates of Tournes.

Up to the time of the campaign in
Southern Italy it was preserved in
the sacrisity Of the C~arthusans, near
Naples, where it was kept in a box
of ebony. Since then the relic has
been kept in the chapel at Caserta.

Prof. Jordan, of the U. S. Fish Com.
mission, asserts that California deep water
fishing grounds have been all but depcpu.
lated By the close fishing of the Chinese
and Italians. The Chinese, with small
meshed nets, take vast quantities Of fish
which they dry and export to China.
The meshes of the nets are SO fine that .
minnow could not creep through them,
and no matter how small the fish taken,
the Chinese retain them. In other parts
Of the country all fish under certain
weight are returned to the water, but
the Chinaman has not that much regard
for American fisheries. There are State
laws against close fishing, but they are
not enforced. F. Stock Report.
