IMPROVEMENTS IN BEEHIYEs.


The section holder is represented
lying on the hive and is marked g.
Six of those section holders, containing
four sections each, making "a sections
in all, are used in one super, and, when
two tiers are used, doubling the num-
ber to 48. There will be observed at E,
representing the four sections, the man
ner in which foundation starters are
used, showing them in the upper part
of the section boxes D is a separator,
Of wood, one-sixteenth of an inch thick,
which goes between each two rows of
sections and separates them, thus COM
pelling the bees to make the honeycomb
straight in the section boxes.
Two bodies are used, one over the
other, for extracting. The upper story
contains eight frames and is the same
in every respect as the brood chamber.
These two stories are used also, or at
least should be used, in building up
strong colonies in spring preparatory to
the honey harvest. A single story is
not of sufficient capacity to contain
strong colonies or is not large enough
to breed up extremely strong colonies
and contain the necessary amount. Of
stores that such colonies should have on
hand at this period Of the season. By
the use Of two stories thus almost dou-
BILE the strength of colonies may be at
tanned prior to the honey harvest, and
this always means an increase in the
raronprfin11 70 +hn hor,oxy
Comb honey for use in the apiary is
also secured in this way and reserve
of it may be kept on hand for the bees
when at any time they need it, and it
is very small per cent of hives that
do not need frames of good sealed honey
given them in spring and during the
time they are breeding rapidly.

THE LATEST BEEHIvEs.
some Parts That Are Practically New and
How They Are Used.

How They Are Used.
The accompanying cutof a beehive
is presented by the Kansas Farmer as
showing the latest improvements in
hives at the present time and bidding
fair to be the hive of the future for per-
haps generations, with but little if any
change. While the principal features
Of this hive are old, yet some parts Of
it are practically new, especially the
surplus arrangements. The cut is ex-
planned as follows:
B is the body of hive or brood cham
ber and is hive of itself and is always
used to contain the colony proper, and
any addition to it is extra in the way
of surplus room. 1t is called Zone story
hive" This department contains eight
Langstroth frames, which are in meas
urement 175s inches long and 91s
inches deep. This body contains about
2,000 cubic inches, which is considered
the proper size for beehive. 1t is used
exclusively to keep the bees in from
the time they are prepared for winter
in autumn until they are strong enough
in spring to add upper stories.
A is super or half story, which con-
tains "a one pound section boxes and is
used for comb honey exclusively. This
super is first added at the beginning Of
the honey flow, when the colony is
sufficiently strong to receive 1t. They
are allowed to occupy this until about
half full Of honey, when another just
like it is added, the empty one placed
under the other, which induces the bees
to occupy all, or both tiers at once,
which they will do, as the one contain
ing the honey is on top.
E, at the back Of the hive, is a view
of this same super, showing the position
the section boxes occupy when on the
hive. The cut E in front Of the hive is
section of the same, being section
holder containing four section boxes.

Green Manure For Potatoes.

At this season Of growth potatoes
show very quickly whether any green
manure is plowed under for them, says
American Cultivator. If it has been,
they will almost invariably keep green
one or two weeks longer than will po-
tatoes for which a naked stubble was
plowed as their seed bed. Earlier in the
season the growth of the potatoes on q
naked stubble may be the best, but after
the potatoes have set and the demand
for moisture is greatest is the time
when the potatoes over green manure
plowed under show their advantage.
One week longer in keeping green may
double the crop Of marketable potatoes.

Cover Crops.

When the early garden crops such as
peas, early potatoes, ccrn, etc, are be-
ing removed. if a late crop Goes not fol
low this year some catch crops should
be used to cover the ground. Where it
survives the winter sow crimson clover,
and 1t will save part of yeur fertilizer
bill next year. Later than August l
know nothing better than rye to sow
for cover crop. 1t may not furnish
the soil as much as nitrogen when
plowed under in the spring, but it is
safer to sow late in the fall, as it is a
more hardy plant than clover. Natures
plan is to keep the soil covered, and
unless we grow some useful plant to
cover it she will cover it with weeds.
Ground that is covered during the win
ter with clover or rye does not lose any
of its fertility, It's mechanical condition
is improved by plowing them under,
and plant food is supplied in the cheap
