Send lOo for mailing arm y^\i^. JOHN BAUSCHER, JR., Boi 94. FREEPORT, fine wire nails driven througti each end-bar about equal distanee apart, and bend good hooks on them with a pair of round-nose pliers, like bicycle pliers; bend the hooks all one way to put the wire on, and it is no job at all to wire the frames. For a wire embedder, i,'et a balance wheel from one of those small round clocks, as thick a wheel as you can get; the teeth are sharp like saw-teeth. Set the wheel in a vise to hold it solid, then with a small, three-cornered file cut a nick in the ceuter of each tooth l-ji2 inch deep. For a handle get a stick '\ square and 6 inches long, saw into the end to let the wheel in deep enough, and put a wire-nail through for the wheel to run on. That makes the best wire embedder there is riiade. If it gets off of the wire it won't cut the foundation. W. A. Moore. Delaware Co., Ohio, Jan. 6. A Discouraging Ppopliet. Bees are wintering well, and white clover is in abundance, and up to date is covered with snow and in fine shape. However, for all this, I still hold fast to the idea that this part of the country will not yield nectar from clover next season anything like the past season. This idea is drawn from the fact that hard freezing weather has prevailed ever since win- ter set in, with only a light covering of snow on the ground. Let us watch for the outcome. Frank Coverdale. •lackson Co., Iowa, .Jan. 18. Managing Swarming. My bees were very weak last spring, and I had to feed a good deal. I lost several colonies. I had 58 colonies when the honey-flow from white clover commenced, increased to 100, and extracted 8000 pounds of as fine white clover honey as you ever saw; it averaged me 8 cents per pound. The last year I did not move the bees to the bottoms, as I have been do
