In answer to an inquiry, MIR. A. l.
Root gives the following advice in his
"Gleanings in Bee Cultures" With q
winter such as we had last, cannot but
feel that box hives are rather precarious
property, especially where they are very
large and roomy. If the hive is small,
20 that the bees come pretty nearly up
to the walls all around. l should set
them in a large box and pack chat all
around them, bridging the entrance 80
they could fly when the weather permit
ted. This arrangement, with q good
roof over all, would come very near the
chat hive. If the box hive is not sraall,
l would sw of the bottom, or cut down
Its dimensions in some way, until the
bees could pretty nearly fill it, and allow
the chat to come up near enough to be
some protection.
Should the winter prove q severe one,
1t will, without doubt, be great saving
TO carry them in, providing you have q
dark day, frost proof cellar. Should it,
on the contrary, prove an open winter,
and your cellar is not proof against
warm weather as well az frost, your bees
will get uneasy, come out of their hives,
and often prove more troublesome and
do worse than if you left them on their
summer stands. Should you try half
indoors, and the othe1 half out, one
winter they will do best one way, and
the next the opposite way. From this
you will zee why / advise beginners to
winter bees out of doors in this latitude.
A great many times bees in box hives
come through the winter strong without
any protection; but of late years this Is
rather the exception than the rule.

swndled out OF money by one claiming to

able pension commission bill should not be adopted and
the following resolutions then presented
WHEREAS 1t is evident us that the passage of the

Refusal by the Commissioner TO Produce Papers
before the Investigating Committee.

We notice in the New York Tribune that Mr..
Bentley was called on by the committee to produce
before them ffty-fve cases from the files of the Pen
sion Office and that he declined to do so.
This is another new departure from custom and
usage
Every Commissioner has been in the habit of
sending to the committee the original papers in any
and all cases called for by such committee
Mr. Bentley himself has regularly and repeatedly
done so.
Is there anything these files that he does not
want the committee to see what is the secret of
this change
True he offers them room in the over-crowded
Pension Office, but it seems that this is not what
they want
They appear to wish to examine the cases named
quietly and deliberately, in their own rooms, and
ascertain by careful inspection the original papers
what is the rule of action of the Pension Office,
and whether that rule is just not
1t is scarcely becoming in a small officer to deny
the fullest opportunity Of investigation into his own
files and records, and it may lead to assertion
the part of the House of its jurisdiction over persons
and papers, jurisdiction which includes Mr. Bent
ley as well as others

The One-man Power.

The Claims that pass under the supervision of the Pen

one man, without appeal TO any other authority MANY
of the rulings of the Pension Bureau arbitrary and u
just to claimants but they have and no an

Outrageous Treatment of a Soldier.

We copy the following from the ST Paul and Mnneap
oils Pioneer Press, Friday, January 80, 1880:
There has been frequent auson heretofore in these
columns to the sad accident which befe Mr. H. c. Stor

wears the late war; losing his health thereby which
account he received a pension Some one, unknown to
him went to his former home in Wisconsin and after
prowng about in search of starchamber evidence,
ceeded in having Mr.. Stodocks stricken from the
pension rolls the ground that his disability antedaed
his entrance into the United States military service The
deprivation of his pension happened Just at the time
was prostrated by the storm king last month"; and
compished without an opportunity having been afforded
him of conclusyey refutng the testimony suIrepti-
ously obtained The consequence that Mr. Stordock,
in his drest need has been cut oil from pttance he had
bravely won, and that his death being imminent his
widow and orphans will be probably deprived of the
source of revenue The case is one of peculiar hardship
and number of his friends have combined to secure if
possible his restoration 10 what is his manifest due The
people of Fergus Falls of all classes by whom he
we'll known have signed petition to Congress to have
Mr. Sordock replaced upon the pensionrols and
similar petition yesterday signed by Gov. Pillsbury
