The wN,ti, of Sections.

"What width Of sections shall we use
for dollars and cents results was
question asked at a beekeepers' conven.
ton. The following replies were noted
Tor The American Bee Journal:
Mr.. Hines-I prefer Il inch sections
because they are nearer natures way.
Mr.. Bryan would have IL rather
than wider.
Mr.. Merritt-We only get money for
each pound when we ship to the COM
mission men. This being the case, where
would we gain by using narrower sec
tionsS
Frank Coverdale-I think that mar
rover sections will be finished up nicer
by the bees, and while being built they
are capped sooner because the honey
ripens quicker. Then again many gro
cerymen will give 16 cents per pound
and sell them over the counter at IL
cents apiece and make good profit.
Mr.. Merritt-There is certainly one
good point-that thin combs in these
narrow sections will be ripened much
quicker.
A second query was, Eight or ten
frame hives-whichy' The convention
was divided on this subject. However,
rather more preferred only eight frames

A Ride That Proved Quite Expensive for
the Driver of the Stage.
DIR. Samuel G. Dixon, n well-known
scientist of the Quaker city, told q
Philadelphia Record man an amusing
story of scene witnessed In New
York the other day while riding In Q
Fifth avenue stage. "a lady gave the
driver a coin," said Mr.. Dixon. land

She informed the driver that che had
given him fifty cents, but the jehu
wouldn't have 1t that way, and tho
woman had simply to lose twenty-Ave
cents. A moment or two later, how
ever, well-drcssed, highly respectable
looking male passenger, with o rather
pallid face and physique by no means
athletic looking, rendered the lady D
quarter and said he had seen the whole
transaction and knew she was being
swindled. IN get 1t back, said he,
you take it. After some persuasfon
the woman was induced to take the
money, and shortly afterward she and
oil the other passengers except myself
and the man who had produced the
cash left the bus. When we arrived
at the end Of the line the stranger
walked up TO the driver, and, In court
eous, but firm tones, said; i saw that
lady gave you half dollar. I give hss
the quarter and want you to give II
to me-
"a volley OF osths was the only an
swer, which, however. was cut short by
o well-directed blow from the fist Of
the passenger and the driver went
down. He got up with another shower
of profanity and made for his assau-
ant, but promptly went down again,
the blow this time landing full on the
jaw. When the driver got up the 500

the passenger wasn't through yet

The one great need OF the agricul-

good wagon roads, this being in many
sections connected intimately with the
necessity for better drainage OF the land.
Within the last quarter of century
the country has been gridironed with
steam lines, while the improvement OF
wagon roads has been Systematically

The great benefit to be derived In the,
saving of large proportion OF the
money now expended for road improve
ments should be an incentive for cities
and towns to advocate legislation COM
pelling the use of wide tires. Besides
II would be of great advantage to the
owners of heavy vehicles in enabling
them to carry much larger loads with
less power and less cost. Herein Is in'
