tageous to have the hives shaded dur
ing the hottest part of the day. so that
the bees will not hang out in front
of the hive instead of working. They
should be so placed that the bees
will not prove a nuisance to passers-
by or disturb live stock. This latter
precaution may save the beekeeper
considerable trouble, for bees some
times prove dangerous, especially to
horses. Bees are also sometimes an

their first flights they may spot
clothes hung out to dry. This may
be remedied by removing the bees
from the cellars on days when no
clothes are to be hung out.
The plot on which the hives are
placed should be kept free from
weeds, especially in front of the en-
frances. The grass may be cut with
a lawn mower, but 1t will often be
found more convenient and as efficient
to pasture one or more head of sheep
in the apiary Enclosure.
The hives should be far enough
apart to permit of free manipulation.
If hives are too close together there
is danger of bees entering the wrong
hive on returning, especially in the
spring.
AS rule, it is not considered best
to keep more than one hundred col
onies in one apiary, and apiaries
should be at least two miles apart

Upton Sinclair, commenting in Bal

existing in America, said:
In no other place in the world over
are such fortunes to be found. One
reason is that our laws regulating

and another reason is that even where
we have laws our magnates forget
about them.

He hung up the receiver and turned
