Eueouragement Our thanks are due to the Editor of Gleanings in Bee Culture and to a number of friends who have privately written complimentary letters on the present appearance of the American Bee Journal. We do not propose to spend time and take space singing our own praise, for deeds are better than words. We are highly gratified with the support we are securing. Ventilatiou lu Cellar Winteriiiff At the Toronto meeting, the question of cellar ventilation elicited consider- able discussion. The climate of Onta- rio shows much variation, from the southwestern corner, which is almost as far south as the south line of Michi- gan to the northeastern limit, which is farther north than the north line of New York State. For that reason, the discussion was animated, and opinions varied. Mr. R. E. L. Harkness, who lives in the extreme east of the prov- ince, gave a very interesting account of his method of cellar wintering. He leaves his colonies in the cellar as late as May; once they remained until the 11th. He does not lose any bees, and finds most of them with two or three combs of brood, when brought out. All the ventilation he gives come through the door leading into the main part of the cellar, which is contigious to his bee-cellar. But his colonies are not piled in tiers, filling up all the avail- able space, as with most of us. He has shelves, and the hives are placed on those shelves without any bottom- board. The number of cubic feet of unoccupied space is therefore greater than in most bee-cellars, where we place the hives
