A Southern Apiarist Gives His Experience
on This Subject of General Interest.
Apiculture is like some other profess
sions in the way of progress, which seem
to proceed, as it were, by sort of ebb
and flow. AT one time it is ten frame
hives, then ''new idea' hives of a sin
gle story of 30, 80 or 40 frames, these
to relegate to the rear to give place to
hives of eight frames, and now these
latter will most likely pass with the ebb
for the flood tide to bring forward the
ten frame hive again. A Georgia corre-
spondent of The American Bee Journal,
who in 1870 discarded the old box hive
in favor of the ten frame Langstroth
hive, gives his experience in hives as
follows:
The ten frame Langstroth hive gave
me good returns, but wanted to do bet
ter, SO when General Adair brought cnt
his small pamphlet on his 'fNew Idea
Hive" I applied the ''idea" to the
Langstroth frame. Adair's frame was
close fitting all around, something like
a section. made dozen of these hives
holding from 90 to 40 frames. These
hives ! worked exclusively for extracted
honey, but when the season was over
and the results summed up found ]
got no better returns from them than
did from my ten frame hives.
For several years past have been ex-
perimenting with the eight frame hive,
and these experiments have taught me
that there is limit to hive space, modi-
fed somewhat by locality. which must
be observed in order to obtain the more
favorable results. In my locality the
honey flow proper commences about the
1st of April and lasts till the middle of
June, after which there is dearth of
nectar till the 1st of September, when
the fall flowers appear. The bees in the
eight frame hives would put the surplus
in the sections in the second story and
not leave enough in the brood chamber
to keep up the working force Of the col
ony for the fall pasture. The result was
a deficiency of stores and a necessity to
feed to enable them to pull through the
winter. When spring came, they were
weak, and by the time they built up
the best of the honey season was over,
but they did not SO consider it and
would proceed to cast off an abundance
Of unreasonable swarms.
Summing up my experience on the
hive question, I am satisfied that, fol
most locations, hive of nine or ten
frames is as small as can be proftably
used for either comb or extracted honey.
By the way, use two story hive. The
second story is devoted to either comb
or extracted honey, and for my manipu-
lation of hives want frame with a
closed end top bar SO as to be self spao-
ing. For this reason have long since
discarded the old straight seyen-eighth
inch top bar.

The Revival Work in Portland.

Last evening there was large audience
at the Congress street Methodist Episcopal
church, when the pastor, Rev. George d..
Lindsay, received about forty into proba-
tionary relations with the church. Mr..
Lindsay spoke in an interesting and impress
siye way. TIE additions recently made to
the membership of the Congress street
church have been largely the result of the
special union revival services, conducted
by the pastor and Rev. A. &. Wright of
the St. Lawrence street Congregational
church. Next communion Sunday large

The service in the scandinavian language
at RefoI ~ club hail was attended last eye-
ming by large and interested audience.
Rev. o. P. Fogelin of New Sweden, Maine,
preached These services are thoroughly
evangelical, and are not designed to take
the place of any of the regular services.
There are now three Scandinavian congre-
;,,t Oh oifx nd Coo, n n q U ia n
population of little over seven hundred.
While their services are conducted in the
scandinavian language, they zall speak

these services are said to be good speakers.
The meetings will be continued every
evening this week except Friday.
