FRIEND PHEIiPS APIARY. ^^OD have frequently expressed a desire to visitW the homes and apiaries of your many friends— and subscribers. With your many and in--gent duties, that would of course be an impossibili-ty, and it remains for us to do the next best thing;i. 0., send you the homes and apiaries—on , find a rough drawing of mj apiary, show-ing also a rear view of my home, etc. The arrange-ment of my hives may interest some of your APIARY or W. G. PnELP<;, QALEXA, MU. They are laid out in blocks of 9, six feet apartfrom center to center, with entrances facing in-ward. A 12-foot center avenue runs the entirelength of the apiary, with the honej--houso at theupper end. Intersecting this at right angles aresimilar avenues which communicate with outsideones. Each hive in each block is painted a differentshade from its fellows, and run in colors from lightred to pure white. Thus any confusion among thebees is avoided, and each can easily mark his owndwelling. The apiary, likewise, presents a very at-tractive appearance from the street, which is al-ways a desirable point. A cedar hedge protects theapiary on the north from the wintry blasts, and alarge apple-tree affords a delightful shade for thehoney-house in summer. Last year I planted grape-vines in front of each hive, with a view of shade;but the intense drought killed 9i of them. Ishall try it again. Hitherto, tomato-vines welltrained
