A little labor and expense betimes will make each colony a nice front apart- ment of screen. Many years ago I ran a sorghum-mill one fall. We kept bees then, did not shut them up. took few other precautions, almost none, and had very little trouble. Orion Conger, page 283, finds bees unendurable only one year out of eight.

Boomhower's charge on Doolittle for say- ing that the ordinary section breaks down, seems to indent his lines somewhat. When a can fall ten feet, and smash the honey all up, without harming a section, it does seem as tho fair quality must be accorded to the latter. But it seems that that 200-pound, red-headed dame pusht back his own lines a few paces ; and yet, with the help of the bees, he won out. Perhap
