This is 24 inches hiffh; the standards are liix.'s in.; a i)iece l}i in. square runs across the top to hold it together, and for a handle to lift it liy; the shelf is 12 inches wide, and is placed i inches below the l)Ottnm of the frame when hanging on the arms of the stand. This shelf is handy to lay cages, etc., on. There is a drawer 6.\8x2 in. under the shelf, in which we lieep a dozen, more or less, of queen - eagres, a pair of small curved-pointed scissors, a slim sharp knife, etc. Our queen - stand (as we call it) weighs just 4 lbs. We leave it out in the bee-yard, as it is well painted, and a groove is cut around on the under side of the shelf so that no water can get into the drawer. When we are in the yard, and happen to want to look into a hive, the stand ami its contents are ready near by. J. M. Valentine. Carlinville, 111. Another very convenient device is the fol- lowing, with a description by the AN EASEI- TO HOLD COMRS. The stand is made follows: Take a cubic block, A, measuring four inches each way, and four strips of wood, B, 1^4 inches scjuarc by 3 or 4 feet long;.
