reasons for Withholding confirma-

was the absence of knowledge Of the

Returns From an Apiary.

Frank Benton, writing In the Farm
ers' Bulletin, says: one very rIatur-
ally snpposes that the return from a
a single hive, or several of them, In a
given locality. may be taken as a fair
index of what may be expected each
season. Such returns, If considered
average, may serve as basis on which
to reckon, but as so many conditions
influence 1t. great differences In actual
results will be found to occur In sue
cessiye seasons. Agriculture, like all
other branches of agriculture. de-
pends largely upon the natural re-
sources Of the location. and the ia
yorableness or uniavofableness Of any
particular season, no matter how skill
fnl the management, may make great
differences in the years return. The
knowledge, skill, industry and prompt
ness OF the one who undertakes the
care of the apiary have likewise much
to do with the return, Furthermore.

BY the nature and proximity or the

Selecting a Locality.

The ability OF the bees to range
over areas inaccessible to other farm
stock aud to draw their sustenance
from dense forests when the timber
Is of the right kind. and the freedom
which, because OF their nature. must
be accorded them to pasture on what
ever natural sources are within their
