Corollary! One professor's settling is less confusing, hut 7tot any more 7'eUable. The truth seems to be that there are a great many very excellent hives possible to be made—economic difference between them to be expressed in quite small figures—figures so small that the " personal equation " (as scientists express it) upsets and obscures everything else. Also no one hive, and no five iiives, could possibly be best for all persons, climates, circumstances, and objects in view. Page 26. VARIOUS PROBLEMS TO BE INVESTIGATED. To return to Prof. Scholl, he has an interesting lot of weighty problems on his memorandum: How to manage a distant out-apiary with the least work and loss. Some more whacking away at the tough job of making liquid honey stay liquid when it is put up. One kind of hive in the apiary, and the most profitable kind. Honey" vinegar to equal the best vinegar in the market, and be made with cheap honey. All inferior honey kept off the market and con- verted into wax by the bees. (The last, not the least.) In these prob- lems we see a minimum of the academic inquiry, and a praiseworthy m
