fired at the same instant and with like
effect. Irving fell dead with Johnny

Wintering Bees.

Professor Cook, than whom there is
no better authority, gives in the Agri
culturist these suggestions for winter
ing bees:
THE apiarist should prepare his
bees for winter as soon as the frost
makes all farther gathering of honey
impossible. Examination will show
whether there is sufficient honey
stored to winter the bees. If the
frames, just as they are taken from
the hives, containing bees, honey and
comb. weigh 30 pounds in the aggre-
gate, there is enough honey. If not,
good, thick honey or syrup, made by
dissolving granulated sugar, should
be fed at once, so that all cells may be
capped over before the cold days of
October check the labors of the hive
1t is best that the honey be so abund-
ant in the frames that we need not
give the bees all the frames used in
summer. it is better to use not more
than seven or eight GALLUP or Ameri-
can frames, and not more than five or
six Langstroth frames. These are con
fined by division boards. 1t is best to
carefully exclude pollen Frames of
pollen are set aside, to be returned
when breeding is resumed the succeed
ing spring. The bees may easily
change the position of the cluster in
the cold days of winter, and it is de-
sirable to cut small holes the size of a
thimble through the combs, an inch
or two above the center. Cover above
the bees with sacks of dry sawduSt,
which should be long enough to reach
over the division boards and to the
bottom of the hive These protect the
bees from the extremes of heat and
cold, and promote healthfulness. Thus
prepared, the bees to be wintered in
chaif hives on their summer stands
will need no further care until the sue
ceeding April. If the bees are placed
in the cellar they need not be touched
again until just before winter comes,
when they are to be taken in again.
