Some Parts That Are Practically New and
 How They Are Used.
 The accompanying cut of 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- plained as follows:
 B is the body of hive or brood cham Der 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. It is called "one story hive" This department contains eight Langstroth frames, which are in meas urement 175s inches long and SIS inches deep. This body contains about 2,000 cubic inches, which is considered the proper size for a beehive. It 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 CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle at San
 tiago.
Sick or We'll, Rush Night and Day

The Packers at the Battle of Santiago
 de Cuba were all Heroes. Their He-
 roic Efforts in Getting Ammunition
 and RatioRs to the Front Saved the
 Day. -.....s
 P. E. Butler, of psck-trsin No. 3, writ ing from Santiago de Cuba. on July 23d, says: "We all had diarrhea in more or less violent form. and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor. for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar- rhes Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health; in fact, sin cerely believe that at ona critical time this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that Q wagon train could use. My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in supply of this medicine for our pack-train be- fore we left Tampa, and I know in four cases 1t absolutely saved life.
 The above letter was written to the manufacturers of this medicine. the Chamberlain Medicine Co.,, Des Moines, Iowa. For sale by W. H. Camp. Canaan; Geo. H. Clark, Salisbury; C.. E. Brink, Falls Village.

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 frost of the hive is a section of the same, being a section holder containing four section boxes.

 The section holder is represented lying on the hive and is marked C.. Six of those section holders, containing four sections each, making 24 sections in all. are used in one super, and, when two tiers are used, doubling the num- Der to IS. 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 separator, of wood, one-sixteenth of an inch thick, which goes between each two rows of sections and separates them, thus com polling 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 ill 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- ble the strength of colonies may be at tained prior to the honey harvest, and this always means an increase in the same proportion to the honey crop. Comb honey for use in the apiary is also secured in this way and reserve of 1t 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.

Special Report on the Sugar Beet.

A special report recently issued by the department of agriculture covers in detail the present condition of the sugar beet industry in this country and the re- suits of experiments made by the de- partment in the production of sugar from beets during the past year. It is divided into two sections. that of the chemist and that of the field agent who has personally inspected numerous sugar beet plantations and factories and inter- viewed practical growers and manufac- turers.
 Part first deals with climatic condi- tions and presents map of the sugar beet zone, as we'll as studies of different localities favorable to the growth of this beet and data from the various states where cultural experiments have been made. .s..--a
 Part second, the report of the field agent, contains practical directions for preparing the soil, planting, thinning, oultivating and harvesting. Siloing, irrigation, blight, the value of the crop. factory conditions and other important questions are also discussed.
 The report, as a whole, is a valuable response to the widespread and popular interast that exists in this country in the sugar beet industry, and it supplies information desired by large number of people.
