. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. THE OUTGROWTH OF A LITTLE MILL ESTABLISHED IN chine can do the work of twenty- live by hand, and thus the conven- ii in es and comforts of life are multi- plied in like THE OFFIC1 i- i r\i;All FROM I ill and the most up-to-date machinery for saving labor. Only a small part of the plant could be shown in one picture. So great has been the demand for supplies that much difficulty has been experienced in getting suitable raw material. Lumber has advanced in price 50 per cent the past season, all wages are higher, and metals have m! reased 300 per cent. The advance oi metal prices has been so great as to become prohibitive for some purposes, and metal covers will prob- ably be less used until the close of the war. As a matter oi necessity, these increased costs of material and labor must be added to the cosl of the finished product, so that the bee- keeper must pay higher prices Foi bis hives. Fortunately, however, honey has also advanced, so that the I" el eeper is as well off as before. In spin- of the greatly increased prices of bee supplies, the manufac liners claim to be turning them OUl at a much smaller profit than ever before. They are able to do this by adding high-speed machinery, which greatly increases the output of the factory without additional labor. The machinery us": 1 in this t i t< r\ for making beehives in the neigh- borhood of $30,000, yet one hundred.
