devotes her entire time to the tasks
which she did only occasionally when
in training. That is, she goes from

Wintering Bees.

From the reports of last season prob
ably more bees perished during the
winter than any season ever known
before, and right here l wish to saw
that more than one-half of such losses
were the result of carelessness, saws
J. ID. Andre, of Lockwood, n. Y, in
the AmmeTicGn Bee Journal. If those
few who have sent the idea afloat that
1t is not so much in wintering as it is
IN springing, had advised against au-
tumn carelessness, they would have
hit nearer the mark.
During the past seven years do not
recollect losing a single colony. The
first thing to do when preparing a col
ony is to ascertain if there is plenty of
honey-not old, granulated honey, but
that gathered the present season. In
order to secure this l strive to have
all used up in the brood frames the
spring before. This is done by spread
ing the brood, interchanging frames
from one hive to another, &c.
The brood-nest should be in the cen
tire of the hive. If any colonies are
lacking in bees, get them from nv
neighbors by drumming them from the
box-hives they intended to birthstone
and right well pleased they are to get
the job done, and avoid the birthstone
odor in the honey. One colony will
build up from two to three weak ones.
This should be done from October l to
10 in this vicinity. There is scarcely
ever any danger in uniting, if smoke
is used.
l never feel safe unless each COLONY
contains a peck of bees. One with
four quarts of bees may winter all
right, but will be so late in building up
IN the spring that it will store but one
half the surplus in some localities.
Use either Hills device over the
frames, or two strips of wood. three.
eighths Of an inch square, reaching
nearly across every frame, with pas
sage between the strips. Spread .
new piece of muslin over the frames
Take bottomless box, four or five
inches deep, tack on muslin bottom
leaving it loose enough to sag down, |
and cover every part of the frame.
when the edges of the box rest on the /
hive.
Fill the box with the muslin bottom
with buckwheat chat, pressing it down
gently over every part of the frames.
The chaf should be medium fine, not
dust, nor too coarse A super will

but if the muslin is nailed on the box,
or frame it avoids mussy lob when

when the chatf must be placed on the
frames again. If the chafF is left un-
covered, except with the cap, and the

Have the hives where the sun will

commonly called freezing to death"

'ery cold nights, when it may be par

The capacity of a watch for keeping
good time is very much governed by
its construction and its more or less
perfect finish. 1t cannot be expected
of the best horizontal watch that it
should always keep good time, and less
so of the inferior make of machine.
made watches which are nowadays
manufactured and sold for ten, twenty
and thirty dollars in such large num-
bers. The changes of oil, the varia-
ton of temperature, the diversity OF
humidity of atmosphere, all greatly
affect the going of a watch. Indeed.
it is only the most perfect finish which
neutralizes the adverse influences to
the greatest degree. As a matter of
fact, no watch keeps perfectly correct
time, and even the best chronometers
used in observatories and on board
ships must be regulated according to
tables which are kept to fix the varia-
tions to which all watches are liable
