THE LARGEST THE BEST.

An Inexpensive Hive-winter Protection
for Bees Fruit of Experinents-CeiIar
should BE Dark.
Most beekeepers prefer to have their
bees remain on their summer stands
throughout the winter; and to accomo-
date them in this position, the chaff
hive has been invented This inven-
tion has proved boon to beekeepers,
and has been adopted by the greatest
number of beekeepers rs the best
method of wintering bees. It serves
well not only as a winter repository
but gives equally good results in spring
and summer. During early spring,
when the bees are breeding rapidly,
aud the changes of weather are fire.
quent, the chaff hive gives valuable
aid. Cellar wintering does very nice
ly until the approach of warm weather
in the spring, when the bees must he
brought out, to endure the changes of
temperature without any protection;
and If any bees really need the protec-
tion of chaff hives, it is those that have
been wintered in the cellar, after being
thus set out The chatf hive is also
good summer hive; il is protection
against the heat of summer, and pre-
vents the melting down of combs in
excessive hot weather, which very
frequently occurs in thin hives.

forms and sizes of chafi hives, and
found that the largest are the best.
Hives wintered in them come out in
better condition, and are seldom if
ever affected with dysentery. much
prefer chaff hive, without any inside
furniture, rs it is called, but mere
shell, so that the ordinary hive of
bees can be set in, or taken out at
pleasure; or but one or two stories can
be used, as the apiarist sees proper.
The upper story or surplus depart
ment, may be used during the summer
season. In autumn il can he removed,

bee hive, and agood cover completesit.
Cellar wintering requires consider
able experience and thorough knowl-
edge of the business, and new fea-
lures are still coming up in this mode
of wintering. A cellar for wintering
bees should he used for that purpose
only and no other. 1t requires per-
feet darkness at all times; and should
be remote from any disturbance what
ever. If bees become thoroughly
aroused in the cellar, there is little if
any remedy other than setting them
out; and this can only be done in
safety at time when the weather is
warm enough for them TO fly. 1t is
probably the most difficult part to
keep them i'll perfect condition when
spring is approaching, so they can be
retained in the cellar late enough to
escape all cold weather. New Eng

the third cotton mill erected in China. It
has 10000 spindles and two engines OF 1900

Of looms will be added soon. Tho machinery
was started early in April with considerable

4 New French Method Which May Dc

\ new method due to DR.. Reclus was

claimed, large proportion of limbs

the extent or gravity of the LESSONS, DR.
Reclus does not amputate the injured
limb, but wraps it in antiseptic sub.
stances, by an embalming process, leav-
ing nature to separate the dead from
the living tissues. This method is less
fatal than surgical eXaresis, and pre-.
serves for the patient, if not the entire
limb, much larger part than amputa-
ton would have left.
