Opinions Expressed by an Apiarist at q
Missouri Beekeepers' Convention.
The average apiarist in speaking Of
modern progress In beekeeping, is al
most sure to place stress on the "hive'
as the highest point to be attained in thu
art OF beekeeping, That certain
amount OF time and talent should bt
used in this direction will DO agreed ID
without argument, but to bend every
energy in this direction think is mis-,
take. When we investigate the subject
we find that practical beekeepers are
succeeding equally well with the many
different makes Of hives. This fact alone
indicates that good management and
adaptability to the business overbalance
everything else.
A hive to facilitate labor should bs
simple, easy to manipulate and Of rea,
sonable price. II these points are com.
bined they will be almost sure to pro.
duce a popular hive use the simple.
ity hive, improved, nine frames or eight
frames and division board; fill the
brood chamber, use one depth section
crates with breakjoint honeyboard and
section support combined, and follow
the dering up plan for comb honey. For
extracted honey use same size brood
chambers with perforated zinc queen
excluder, and tier up two or three stories
nigh with empty combs, nine combs to
the story above the brood chamber.
In taking up the second proposition Of
my subject, will be governed by what
branch Of honey production want the

honey exclusively, would possibly
adopt the eight frame hive, but do not
think | would. do not like a small
hive, especially for the general bee
keeper. They need closer attention,
will furnish moro destitute colonies in
the fall and more and smaller swarms
than hives of larger capacity.
If were running for extracted honey
alone would without hesitation recon-.
mend large hive; the only point of
limit would be convenience in handling,
But for both comb and extracted honey
from the same apiary have adopted
size of hive suited equally we'll for both
Kinds of honey, and of uniform size,
viz, the nine frame simplicity single

and early spring protection. In conclu.
sion want to be liberal, want to be

The orchard was on ground trihe
higher than the house, which stood on a
small plateau in the side Of the bill. In
front, next the river, the hill sloped,
giving 10 the yard on that side deep
undulation, while at the back 1t was al
most level until il gained the tritling
rise OF the orchard ground. The old
trees in struggling, unkempt rows came
down to the yard fence, and TO person
standing under them the slight eleva-
ton gave a good view of the premises.
The fog, dense in the low grounds,
was scarcely perceptible here, and the
moon had risen. With the coming on
of night it had grown colder. The air
was sharp and by morning there would
be frost. From his station under one OF
the leGfless tress Anthony could see very
well in the moonlight. The house, an
ample old brick structure, stood in
grove of oaks and locusts, and the moon
cast the interlacing shadows Of their
bare branches in fantastic drapery over
the time stained walls. At the south
ern end thick nantel of English ivy
concealed the old imported bricks.

There are more agreeable ways OF
passing an hour than in sitting on the
top rail of Virginia "Snake fence. on
north hillside in the cherries gray of
a raw November evening. Yet that was
what Ned Anthony was doing.
The fence wound along the hillside in
the zigzag fashion of it's kind, leaning
now to the right, now to the left, and
humoring the inequalities on the ground
handsomely. 1t was a new fence, ag-
gressively new in contrast to the gray OF
the sky and the subdued drabs and
brown of the rocks, the bare branches
and the fallen leaves, The clean split
sides Of the chestnut rails shone whitley,
and the stakes which held all secure
when the rails Tapped at the corners
were finished off with workmanlike
caps, made of bits Of boards, with a
couple of anger holes drilled through
them, instead of the usual slovenly twist
of wild grapevine. A thrifty looking

the tract had been divided, and that the
