I put a glass in one side of all my su- pers—strips of glass that I get at the hard- ware store, iK to 2 inches wide and 12 to 14 inches long. I lay the glass on the out- side of the super, mark around it, saw it out on a bevel so the inside is smaller than the outside, let the glass in even on the mside and imbed it. Plane the piece of wood that comes out of it till it fills the hole tight and a small nail at each end makes it handy \ou can have 3 or 4 supers on a hive and look into the bottom one without disturbing the bees. I would not have a super without a glass. An old case-knife about 2 inches long ground to a point, and a brick-layer's paint- ing-trowel, are the finest tools I can find for cleaning sections. I make all my supers and put the glass in before I nail them up. Monticello, Iowa, Nov. g. O. D. French. A Brief Report. My report for 1908 is as follows: Spring count, 5 colonies; increased to 11 colonies; harvest, 425 pounds of comb honey. Racine, Wis., Nov. 8. Otto FehlbBrg. Best Season Ever. The honey season this year was the best we ever had. I got about 500 pounds from 4 colonies. One Italian colonv stored 120 pounds. My bees never showe'd a sign of swarming. I never could have had such good success if it were not for the American Bee Journal. D. H. Cathman. Forest City, 111., Nov. 5. Bees Did Well. Bees have done well this season. I start- ed out with 8 colonies last spring, and to date have 16, and have sold $65 worth of honey. I am sure I wouldn't have done so wen without the aid of the bee papers and books. Walter M. Adema.
