HIVES FOR WINTER.
4 Cheap Char Arrangement-How tu
Move Bees.

so
There Is nc better arrangement for
wintering bees than an ordinary dry
goods box made into a chaff hive, as
shown in Fig. 1, and the manner of fix
ing it is so fully explained in the pic
ture that no further direction is need
ed. The side of the large box is taken
off to show how to arrange the hive Of
bees. The hive is tipped up at n side
to show the bottom arrangement. The
side is placed back and the entire space
between hives inside filled with dry
chaff, a good roof added and all paint
ed up nicely, as shown in Fig. 2.
This arrangement is illustrated in
Farm, Field and Fireside, in which A.
81. Duff also tells about moving bees.
He says that moving them, either long
or short distances, should be done be-
fore cold weather They should be To-
Gated on the spot where they are in
tended during warm weather to be
wintered, so as to be thoroughly ac-
quainted with their surroundings be-
fore cold weather sets in. This not
only answers for long distances, but
more especially so if they are to be
moved about in the same apiary.
If colonies are thus changed just at
the beginning of wintek, when they do
not have q chance to mark their new
location by frequent flights, it will re-
suit in irreparable damage and a heavy
loss in bees. The only safe plan to
move colonies in the same apiary is to
move the hive a few feet each day that
the bees are flying until the desired
spot is reached.
In this manner the bees will follow
the hive and find their way home;

A HANDY WAGON.
Made From Old Material In the Farz,
Workshop.

Workshop.
The cheap and convenient homemade
wagon Illustrated is made from the
castoff drive wheels of two combined
reapcrs and mowers. The man who
built it has described it as follows in
the Ohio Farmer:
In hauling manure to the fields, stone
off Of work land and for various other
purposes where q low down wagon is
needed. it is worth many times it's
cost and has many advantages over a
common farm wagon. Being low it is
easily loaded and unloaded, while the
broad faced wheels will permit haul
ing over meadows or soft ground with
out damage, when narrow tired wheels
could not be used at all.
The cash outlay for it was a mere
triae. We got one pair Of wheels and
spindles from an old machine that we
had Worn out on the farm, the others
were bought for SO cents at q nearby
sale. We bought also less than 50
cents worth of bolts, all told, at our
village hardware store. The rest Of the
material was furnished from our lum-
Der pile and shop. The work was done
by the writer at our farm workshop
where we have a forge. Three OF four
days work at odd times were required
for the purpose. The woodwork is all
in the rough, no plane or paint being
used, as utility, not beauty, was our
aim in constructing it. By making the
bolster in front three inches higher
than the wheels and iron braces and
supports Tin one) Of old wagon tire the
same height on real axle, we We're able
to make the platform-or bottom of
bed-project out over the wheels. This
feature of the wagon we find Of great
advantage in many kinds Of work.
By removing the side boards-one OF
which is removed and lies d%iagonally
in the cut-and erecting a suitable
standard in front and extending the
platform a few feet in the rear with

light scantlings supported by iron stir.
rups attached to the platform, we can
have a first class hay rack that would
often come in good service in hauling
hay, sheaf grain or corn fodder from
the field.
The mower wheels are especially
adapted to the construction Of such
wagons, as the hubs are 81 inches
long, face Az inches wide, while. they
are 80 inches high. There may be
other wheels just as good, however.
The long hub is quite an item, though,
in the Wheel. us it gives strength and
durability to the wheel.
We used the original spindles. By
cutting the shaft in two in the middle
and punching holes near the ends for
bolts. we fastened them to wooden
axles of the desired length. We made
the reach even feet from axle to axle,
which is none too long If intended for
hay and fodder hauling. The platform
is ten feet long by six feet wide, the
front wheels passing under the same
in turning. A stationary board eight
inches high is bolted to upright irons
at front end Of platform. Cleats are
nailed to this to receive front end Of
side boards. These are only six inches
wide, but can be made wider If desir-
ed.
Some persons might object to the
projecting spurs on these wheels. In
practice these do NJ harm, az their
worn condition from long use and the
packing Of the earth between them
leaves so little Of them %protruding that
they do no damage even on young
meadows.
