How Moisture and Rotting of Frames
Can Be Avoided.

One Of the objections to hive-founda-
tons is the moisture that gathers be-
tween the hive bottom and the founda-
ton causing rot
In order to avoid the objection, writes
correspondent of Bee Culture, I
make a different foundation as fol-
lows: 1 use a 2x4 at each end, as
long as the hive is wide. On top of
these I fasten Ike at each end.
These 1x3's cut 80 inches long, which
makes foundation six inches longer
than my hive bottom. I now take a
piece of board wide enough to fill in
between the two pieces of 1x3, and

Bill wilkins was homely kid.

His feet were big. his hair was long,
His hands were in the way:

They sorter went 1t dumb.

Now Bill is rich and great,
And hundreds gaze upon his home,
With envy, at his gate!

Because he had the dope
To get a corner on a scheme
That bulled the price of Hope!

aGrow Out West in Cans"

The various prohibited substances are
used to an extent that is not dreamed
by most people. The fine green tint
of canned peas. the rich yellow. or
brown. or red, or green. OF what not,
of other vegetables. the fresh. live tint
of fruits that grow out West in cans,
the appetizing color and freshness OF
myriad of food articles are due to the
use of various coloring and preserving
matters. Methods Of putting up these
articles will have TO be changed TO
meet the new conditions.
Saltpeter IS very extensively used in
connection with the packing and pre-
serving Of al sorts of meat products,
and its prohibition would be especially
a serious blow TO that industry. The
food board has determined not to pro-
hibit IL until further investigation has
been made to- set at rest all uncer-
tainties; but the strong impression Is
that the final decision will be against
