He says that the square thick section of honey looks '' squattv "' as compared with the oblong, and I think lie is right. As an illustration I give a picture taken from Gleanings. I think that almost any one will admit that the taller .section is more symetri- cal. Just notice, too, how much more perfect is the comb in the tall section.

I can believe that eat- ing poor honey will do the mischief a good deal faster. Everybody take up stones and have 'em ready to cast at the extracted honey man who extracts honey when it is sealed " half way down, " and at the comb honey man who takes off sections the minute they are sealed, and. thick combs; that they ought to be of the same thickness as the combs in the brood chamber. I have used .sections only one one-half inches wide, and I know that the combs are built straighter and sealed over much quicker.
