How Not to Keep Bees.

Mr.. FL. ID. Hill, editor OF the Amer1-
can Beekeeper lives at Fort Pierce,
Fla. In a recent number of his jour
nal he gives some of his observations
as follows:
His hives set fiat upon the ground
and the sand has drifted far above the
rotten bottom boards. Rolls of moth
webs protrude from the entrances of
hives that once contained a drOne-lay-
ing. queen or laying worker, on set
of beautiful combs. He has charge of
nearly 100 colonies, but does not know
how many swarms he has had, nor
which colonies have swarmed. He has
hived two that he knows of (and
those on empty frames with II in a
1O-frame body, and four of the eleven
without bottom bars), but the rest of
the swarms call lit in them tallest
trees and he ''cOuldn't git 'em." The
honey season has arrived and upon all
colonies ''that amt strong enough" to
take an upper story for extracting he

tanned with stop over privileges.
1t is best to travel westward round
the world because of the heat in the
Red sea and Suez canal. The prevail
ing winds there are from the north.
When a steamer passes through from
Europe to the orient, she has a slug
gish wind behind her which the mo-
ton of the vessel makes null.
Vessels passing through the Red sea
from Europe in summer have some
times to turn about and go northward
for some hours in order to relieve their
fainting passengers. Fol these same
considerations of temperature it is
likewise better to make the journey
through southern Asia and the Suez
canal in winter.
Indeed. in summer the passage of
the Red sea is almost as serious a
business now as it was when the chill
dren of Israel crossed it ON dry land.
