An foundation principle says Prof.
Morrow, we want TO use for the sire and
dam hogs that have those characterize
tics we desire and have those fixed by
good breeding. IL is in accordance with
the best practice and with the best
theory that, given reasonable purity OF
breeding, it is more important TO have
an additional merit in the sire and dam
than In the more remote ancestry, ana
so. in a descending scale, as we go back.
If we will bear In mind that in gong

Experience OF an OHIO ApiAri1t OF IWcnty
Years Standing.
On April 2, Us, we removed 80 stands
of Italian bees from our cellar TO their
summer stands, and found that there
had been no loss except in the weaken
ing Of some colonies and the loss OF
three queens. We Immediately gave the
bees that had lost their queens 20 the
weakest colonies, leaving us AZ stands.
To these we added five more by pur-
chase at $3.50 each. Having IT'S pounds
ola poor grade of honey, and as all We're
getting scarce OF honey, we invented a
feeder of our own. and during the scar
city of honey between apple bloom
and white clover, we placed feeder
over each colony and fed them some
of this poor honey every evening, which
brought them up good and strong In
bees until the commencement OF the
white clover crop. This feeding pre-
vented the cessation of egg laying by
the queen, and consequently our hives
were full of brood, larvae and eggs, ano
the new honey from clover was PLACED
in the extracting combs, which were
now put in readiness for the expected
honey flow.
