Contrary to the usual belief of bee
Keepers, the loss of heat through the

to Its full capacity, as so much of
the heat escapes below. On the sup

Insulating Value.
Tests have been made Of the In
sulating value of eight different
types Of hives. 1t is clear from the
results Of these tests that leaving
any part Of the hive without insula-
ton renders the escape Of heat at
that point easy Some beekeepers, In
addition to leaving the bottoms OF
their hives unprotected, also leave the
fronts, facing the south, unpacked, on
the erroneous theory that the warm
ing Of the hive by the sun will over
come the loss Of heat at this point.
Space for Insulating.
The insulating value of all ordinary
insulating materials depends on the
air spaces confined in the material,
and the insulating value is increased
by increasing the number and decreas-
ing the size of these air spaces. In

Samples of honey are being received
by the United States Department Of

The tractor is as responsive to good

ment is not so noticeable. This is
true because the tractor Is a power

small loss in power cuts down the
amount of work done.
In the case of the power-driven ma
chine, any disorder calls for greater
power to operate 1t. The horses or
the machine furnishing the power
work harder and approximately the
same results are accomplished. Hence
It is much easier to overlook Slight
indisposition on the part Of power
consuming machine than on the part
Of the power producer.
If any part through which power Is
transmitted Is loose, it may cause a
reduction Of power. The tractor op-
orator should examine his machine
thoroughly every week or ten days to
prevent such loss. A bolt in the crank
case is loose, oil is lost. The adjust

valve is out Of proper time and the
cylinder does not give full power.
The clutch is not adjusted to take
hold evenly. Slippage here causes
loss Of power. Similar leaks may de-
velop in the fuel system and the igni-
ton system. Any Of these cause heavy
drains on the power. Usually they
can be quickly repaired If attended to
early. Left too long, they may re-
suit in a breakdown involving larger
