Mr. Coggshall—Large hives are of vital importance. Mr. Root—How do you put up your honey ? Mr. Coggshall—In kegs. To put it in cans would take one extra hand. O. O. Poppleton—In a warm climate, in extracting honey,we have the frames put in the extractor as they hang in the hive, instead of on the end. In Cuba we used to run two hands at $8 a month during the time we were engaged in extracting. We have extracted as high as 2,000 pounds in one day. My tank was so arranged that we could tell just how much there was in it. Mr. Coggshall—One thing I want to speak of is the im- portance of getting the bees off the combs. We go to one end of a row of hives, raise the oilcloth, puff in a little smoke, and the bees will go down if you give the end of the oilcloth a little shake up and down for a minute or half a minute. The motion makes a suction. F. Danzenbaker—I have noticed that when it was warm the bees would get up motion. Just give them a little smoke. Dr. Miller-Suppose you use no oilcloth, do you think it worth while to have the cloth ? Mr. Coggshall —Certainly. Mr. Root—By using the suction motion the result was, most of the bees would drop. Pres. Whitcomb—I think it is a dangerous thing to let it go out that we sell honey extracted without capping. A sample of honey extracted before capping was shown. Pres. Whitcomb—This is not honey—it is nectar. Mr. Root—This honey ran 12 pounds to the gallon. Nebraska is the only State that will produce honey that weighs 13 pounds to the gallon. Mr. Selser—Mr. President, I think the matter that you spoke of should be well aired. Put the honey in t
