. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. sion for me and two of them refused to settle. I reported them to Hon.

J. T. Hairston. Indian Territory, Feb. 20. Deep Snows—Wintering Well. We have had the deepest fall of snow for several years, about S inches on the level. It did not drift very badly here, but delayed trains about a day. Bees went into winter quarters in the best condition since I have been in the bee-busi- ness (1896). They have not had many flights, but I think they are all right. W. H. Meaxs. Greenwood Co., Kan., Feb. 21. Evidently an Error. Mr. Editor:—Did the printer take liljerties with Mr. Bingham's copy, page 156, or are we to understand that degrees is an "ideal" temperature for bees in a cellar? Idealist. [Yes, it is an error. It should have been 35 degrees instead of 25.—Editor.] Entrance Feeding of Bees. It is near feeding-time tor the colonies out of stores and for stimulative brood-rearing. I have been feeding some old sorghum honey I bought cheap. I make an entrance-feeder on the plan of the Boardraan. I talie a round tin can S inches across, run a gauge-mark around it about l^i or 2 inches from the bot- tom, and cut it off. This makes a dish nearly 2 inches deep and S inches across; almost any old dish will do. Then make a box with two points to run into the entrance with a loose cover; the box must lie tight, and great care taken not to let robber-bees get a taste. Liquefy the feed by mixing water with it. The dish must be full of old comb to keep the bees from drowning. C. H. Austin. Eddy Co., New Mex., Feb. 21. Please mention Bee Journal wlien writing. P
