A window which has been cleaned with paraffin, too, is one that flies will fight shy of. Incidentally, parafâ€" fin is the best windowâ€"cleaner there is, It gives a fine, lasting polish.

This may be done either by buying full strength colconies or small nuclei of two or three frames each, or bees, brood and queen. By all means secure the dark lcatherâ€"colored Italian bees, as they are not only gentle, but are ‘hardier than the bright go‘den bees and get through the winter in better shape. When the full colonies arrive, the best plan is to place them at once on what is to be their permanent stands. Remove the wire screen from top and bottom of the body, and place the botâ€" tom board amd lid in position. With the nuclei the same method is followâ€" ed; but in this case the remaining sv;:a»ce in the lu:e ‘;h';uwgefâ€"i!nl;dou‘i with cither frames with full sheets of foundation wired in, or. better st_ill Whether the apiary is composed of many or few colonies, it is a mistake to place the hives where they are heavily shaded by tree branches and leaves. While the placing of the eciâ€" onies out in the open where the sun‘s rays whine upon them may slightly nevertheless there are certain seaâ€" sons of the year when the warmth of the sun is nesded to conserve the heati of the colony. Proper ventilation and| shade boards will more than counterâ€" balance the desire to swarm. All in all, it is best to place the colonies out in the open rather than in a shady place. Now is a good time to make preâ€" parations for the harvest. An increasâ€" ing number of beekeepers are giving up entirely the production of combâ€" honey with its end‘less manipulation and its encovragement to the bees to swarm. Instead, extracted honey is having its day, as swarnring is kept to a minimum when it is produced. Moreover the colonies do not have to build new combs for stcrage and can produce more than twice as much exâ€" tracted honey as combâ€"honey, and at the same time require less attentionâ€" a factor to be considered, especially where there aroe a number of out apiaries. tender vines, started in the eariy| spring before the cold weather would permit ordinary sowing of the seed, shou‘d dig a hole one foot and a half deap where he wants the vines. The diameter of the hole should be about one foot. The first layer to be put into the hole is coarse rock. . This insures drainage and keeps the bottem of the pit from sinking down in the wet ground of early spring. Above the rock place a layer of gravel. The thickness of the rock layer &s about three inches. Upon this place a threeâ€" inch layer of wellâ€"rotted manure each layer packed into place so that there will not be undue sinking as the newâ€" ty placed layers get settled into place. The top layer in the pit is three inchâ€" es of rich garden soil. The seeds are placed in this exactly the same as if they were sowed in the ordinary way.
