The incessant talk OF the necessity
Of economy may possibly lead many
peraons to curtail their usual
and thus contribute
to restrict trade and lessen the aven-
ues Of employment OF many worthy
and deserving statesmen and mechan-
les. While economy may be neces-
sary to enable many families, whose
incomes have been diminished by the
depression of business. TO pay thelr
way, there Is no reason why wealthy
persons should restrict their expondi-
lures or deny themselves OF single
luxury that they have been acoustic
med to; on the contrary they should
expend their entire incomes In order
to stimulate trade and give employ
ment to mechanics and laborers. So
long as they do not encroach on their
fortunes, spending only the annual
increase, they should not think OF
.economizlng. After buying all the
tinery they may require and furnish
ing thoir homes they should make
necessary improvements in lawns and
IoutbuildlnRs. In this way employment
may be given to the painter, the papel
hanger. the cabinet maker, and carpet
dealer, and thus much good may bt
done to The entire community. 4
i u. period Is the time to make i'm
Iprovements and persons possessing
a superabundance of means should
act on this hint. To go on savin,
merely to hoard, to add dollar TO
dollar for the purpose OF increasing
an already overgrown fortune, Il
! worse than useless, indeed may be
| characterized as the height Of folly
Mlsers are no advantage to the com
. munity, and the sooner they learn +
, be liberal the create: their stock o
happiness will be. To all we thsrt
fore say expend the entire amount o
your incomes that you realize fro /
, investment, and let others have o
a ,portunlty to live as we'll as yourse

COMB HONEY PRODUCTION.
Statements Made at the North American
Beekeeper's Convention.

Beekeeper's Convention.
In paper having for its subject the
production of comb honey, r. +. Hotter
man said before the convention of North
American Beekeepers at Chicngo many
things of general interest. He advised
as regards locality n place where the
honey flow is heavy rather than pro-
longed. In the face of great diversity of
opinion, he hazarded the belief that any
material variation from the depth of the
Langstroth is O mistake. A super with
section holders, consisting of two sides
and bottom bar with separators, fol-
lower and wedge, was his preference.
Sections should be 1t inches square
The thickness is disputed question
In Canada nearly all the beekeepers
use sections l inches thick In tho
United States tho thicker sections are
used-seyen to the foot-or II inches
He believed the tendency was toward
thinner sections. Regarding bees, their
comb building characteristics and honey
| gathering qualities must be looked after.
/ instead of their individual beauty. He
| took issue with the statement that colo
MES could be too strong early in the sea
son. If colony became crowded too
early TO put on sections, he would put
on an extracting super until the time ar
rived for putting on sections. The sec
tions should be filled with full sheets OF
light foundation.
Mr.. Holterlnan said that no one who
wishes to raise comb honey to perfection
will ever care to prevent swarming en-.
!, tirely. Swarms should be hived on the
old stands upon very narrow strip
4 (starters) of foundation or else upoI
/ full sheets Of foundation. Which shsl
? DO used depends upon the locality. If il
: is where there is danger of pollen being
J carried into the sections, then full sheets
Of foundation should be used. WheI
starters are used, one day should be al
: lowed to elapse before the sections arr
. put in place. When swarms are hivet
4 on starters, they are likely to build SOM
r drone comb, especially if the queen il
3 old.
Mr.. Holterman did not consider i
= practicable toregueen the colonies befort
the swarmipg season. He would ALLOW
the bees to build such combs as the,
might, taking great caro- to rear al
queens from the best stock, and then il
3 the fall put the bees upon good combs
n If they had failed to build good ones, AM
Z feed them sugar for winter stores. TIN
:, combs removed can be sorted over an,
i those having drone comb patched Vi
o with pieces of worker comb, or else the,
d may be melted into wax. lie gave N
e upward ventilation. He advised shad
upon the top and even the sides of tn
hives. The use of the bee escapes wa
j, advised. Mr.. Holterman worked 70
:. comb honey until the season was nea
n. its end, then turned his attention TO tn
l. production of extracted honey.
