The plan here presented is advised by
American Agriculturist; Lay boards
from the ice up the bank to the top of
an old packing box placed there. The
box should be two feet higher than the
bed Of the wagon or sled in which the
ice is to be hauled. The boards will
soon become icy and the ice can easily
be pulled or pushed along them to the
box, and from it to the wagon or sled.
The colder the weather the better for
cutting ice. 1t is always easier to slide
ice than to lift and wheel it. The prime
point of putting the ice in the house is
to fit the cakes closely together. The
less air confined among the cakes the
better the ice will keep. Make the crew
ices small and fill them with powdered
zoe

The statistician Of the New York Mer-
camille Exchange, in his tabulation of
the receipts and exports Of butter, cheese
and eggs, and Of the average price of

ages in 1888. The receipts Of cheese were
1881 ,O15 boxes, as against 1888, 462

on the bodily strength and Intelligence Of

there is fascination about the business
which relieves it Of all tediousness. A
woman will think Of her bees, study
about them and become so interested as
to be almost paid for her work by the

In conclusion the essayist said: a
great deal Of the work in the aplary Is
quite as well adapted for women as for
men. and also in the case of the honey

they most feel their deficiency Is IN the
lack Of skill to do the various carpenter

BEE KEsPlNG.


Is 1t "A Suitable Occupation for Women TO
Engage In?
At a recent beekeepers' convention a
lady member from Campbellford, Ont,
read an essay on Bee Keeping as an
Occupation for Women" Having given
the matter a fair trial for the last eight
years, she was Of the opinion that there
is no reason why any woman of moder-
ate strength and intelligence should not
be able to take charge of an apiary Of
from thirty to fifty colonies, with very
littleassistance. and derive both pleasure
and profit from the employment; at the
same time she doubts whether there are
many who would succeed very well in
carrying on the business alone, though
OF course there are few who would.
While not believing that farmer can
carry on both farming and bee keeping
successfully himself, she says: "But if
he has either daughters or soDs, who will
make a speciality Of this department,
bee keeping, il may very adyantageously
be combined with farming; and do not
know Of any reason why girls might not
make as great a success Of the business
as boys"
Eternal vigilance is the price Of sue
cess in any business, and in none more
than in bee keeping. 1t is not only labor.
but . science, and will make constant
