Nor she don't want anything that 5

she didn't want no di'lec' stories; she says

IMPROVING A HIVE.
How to Remedy Defects Which Are

Fig. l shows a hive in quite common

commend it. 1t is dovetailed at the cor
ners. and this fact gives it its name.
The beveling of the roof boards, to give
the necessary slant, makes the outer
edge so thin that it is liable to warp
and form a crack, so that wind and
storm can blow into the top of the hive
To remedy this l nailed on strips, as
shown in Fig. ?. The end strips are
straight-edged pieces of the same
length and thickness as the original
