Green—Fill the sections full. A piece Z}i inches square Is about right. Prof. A. J. Cook—I like nearly full, reaching within half an inch of the bot- tom. Rev. M. Mahin—Opinions differ. My personal preference Is for narrow starters. Mrs. L. Harrison—It depends upon the market; for tbe hotne market, }i inch, or %. C. H. Dibbern—As large as the inside of the sections, except a H inch space at the bottom. H. D. Cutting—I have used all sizes and shapes, but prefer full sheets if the foundation is all right. K. Ij. Taylor—I greatly prefer to fill the sections—, to fill as nearly as is safe, so the larger the starter, the better. Jas. A. Stone—Before I would want to advise in this, I would want to know whether ion wanted the honey for show or no;. (t. M. Doolittle—From a V-shaped piece having IJj-inch length sides, to sections filled to within '4 inch of the bottom, just as you can afford. Dr. A. B. Mason—I would put a nar- row strip of foundation at the bottom of the section, and then a full sheet reach- ing nearly to the strip at the bottom. Emerson T. Abbott—If I were work- ing for fjunntity, I would fill the sections with foundation ; if for giuillty only, for • home consumption, very small starters. Eugene Secor—I like full sheets best. What I mean by that is, sheets lacking V inch of touching sides and bottom. I seldom see first-class looking honey pro- duced from starters or no
