Special rates of per day at the Russell House. The editor of the Review expects to be present. ITK* ⢠**>»*^>* The Far Western Bee-Keeper is the name of the latest candidate for apicul- tural favors. It is a 50-cent monthly; has 18 pages and a cover; is very neat typo- graphically; hails from Riverside, Califor- nia; and Henry E. Horn is its publisher. Mr. Horn shows, in this first issue, that he wields a facile pen; he has had experi- ence in bee-keeping; and this first num- ber shows that he can give the Far West- ern folks a very creditable journal. The Review wishes him abundant success. »*ii»»»^«< In a Bee Cellar, which is the better material for the cellar bottom, cement or simply a bottom of earth? A subscriber wishes this point discussed in the Review. The idea has been advanced that having an easy communication between the cel- lar and the surrounding earth was an ad- vantage, in that it allowed the earth to absorb dampness arising from the bees, also any abnoxious gases. How much, if anything, there is in this I don't know. This is the third year that 1 have been wintering bees very successfully in the cellar under my house, and the bottom and walls of this cellar are of cement. Our cellars up north have bottoms of earth, while the sides are simply boarded up with narrow strips of lumber. The bees are wintering perfectly. 1 would be inclined to think that it would be better to have the bottom and sides of cement in a heavy, damp, clay soil; but, in a dry sandy soil I doubt if it would be any ad- vantage, and it might not be a disadvan- tage.
