Y., and was one of a family of 4 children. His early years were spent in the routine of farm life, where he early formed the habits of industry and self- reliance. February 24, 1869, Mr. Cogg'shall was married to Clarinda F. Smith. Three chil- dren have been born to them, of whom two .survive — a son and daughter. In 1861 Mr. Cogg-- shall's ' grandfather, Wm. Green, gave him a swarm of bees and he began a series of experiments in their management. He first tried wintering them in the house-cellar, but this was not suc- cessful. Up to I8611 his bees were kept in box-hives, when he bought the D. P. Kid- d e r movable - frame hive and transferred his bees to them. Ex- perience proved this to be a step in the right direction. The Kidder hive being double-walled he now began wintering bees outdoors, with fair success. During all this time he read all the books and papers on bee-culture which he could get, and among them was " Langstroth on the ; In 1867 he made 13 Langstroth hives and put 13 new swarms into them. He now built a bee-house 12x16 feet, with a packing of sawdust in the wall one foot thick, and tried wintering bees in it, but with this he was disappointed, as the bees wintered no better tlian in the house cellar. The wintering problem was finally solved by use of the chaff.
