If it is desired to have box honey OF

ance it should be removed from the
hive as soon as all the cells are capped

This clipping tells how to convert
your surplus peaches into a delicious
marmalade. All soft. but wholesome
peaches can be made into marmalade,
and your family still sigh that more
fruit did not go to waste just that way.
Pare and drop into your preserving
kettle, which may just as well be
bright tin pale or pan. Stand this pail
IN another with plenty of water in it,
and then you can go In and out busy
with your other ministrations. Put III
no sugar until just before they are done
or YOU will waste much of its sweetness.
When the fruit is thick, draw from the
fire and sweeten to taste. Then let 1t
boil for five or six minutes, and seal up
hot. ANY dish answers for marmalade.

There is one point am fully convinc-
ed is conducive to putting the bee at It's
best, and that is to put each swarm to
be wintered in proper shape for winter
ing at latest by the middle of October,
or at any rate when the weather IS
warm enough so the bees will capin the
syrup it is best TO feed them on for their
winter stores am so well satisfied on
the point of wintering for sugar syrup,
that L do not hesitate to proclaim that
the bee is only at its best when 1t sets
down to its table in winter to an ex-
elusive die of pure granulated sugar
syrup.
Another essential point is, that the
colony be fed sufficient to insure a
full supply of stores to carry it through
all contingencies till the 1st of May, al
least. Because 1 do not consider the
bee at its best unless it can calmly, with
smiling countenance, feel beyond the
! reach of possible contingency OF lack OF
stores to foster its young during the
coquetting of April with winter; enab-
ling it to keep at home and snap Its
, fingers at the weather till May wakes
