All the frames are wired either for strips of comb-foundation or for whole sheets, which latter is preferable. There are two dummy division- boards in the upper storey, so that any number of the shallow frames up to about twenty may be used at one time. Sections may be used in the roof above, or in place of the whole or part of the super-frames. Each lower compartment has its front bevelled entrance, with a pair of wooden slides, by which the size of the entrance in accordance with the requirements of the season may be regulated. The porch-board runs the whole length of the front and is supported by four brackets. The roof, which is entirely moveable, is gable, and is set off by a finial at either end.—W. R.

I shall be happy to answer any queries concerning same, believing such will be readily adopted by some who are still perplexed in foundation-fixing. — John H. Howard, Holme, near Peterborough.
