Honey has also taken the place of glycerine for preparing compound, releasing the gly- cerine factories to supply explosives for the army, and since our govern ment has restricted the use of sugar so as to share with our allies, honey is largely taking the place of sugar in ice cream parlors and bakeries as well as for family use.

Hints to Bookkeepers

If the beekeeper has attended to his bees properly, it is best not to disturb them this month. 1 take for granted that all was examined carefully in the fall and if found light, fed sufficiently to carry them over until well advanced in breeding. You should have stopped all cracks except the front entrance, making them warm, which saves bees and honey and promotes only breeding, as they cannot raise brood unless the chister has a temperature of 100 de- grees. If you have not already attended to it, see that all weeds, grass and brush are kept away from sheds to
