Put on a chaff cushion to keep the top of the hive warm, so the moisture will not condense and run down on the cluster. HOW TO BAT HONEY.

A lecture room seating 600 was not able to accommodate one quarter the people who sought admittance. Here lectures were delivered at all hours of the day by men competent to speak on all branches of farming. Farmers were asking questions about bacon, poultry, beef, cheese.
