The cover (Fig. 2) is made of the same material, 1x8x24 inches long, and has the same kind of cleats at the ends, only that one is placed above as well as below the ends of the boards. Long, slim, 10-penny wire-nails are nailed through the ends, cleats, board and all, and then clinched underneath. To tighten these up they are placed on an anvil. This makes the strongest cover I know of, as the cleats hold the boards with such a grip that they cannot zvarf' or twist in anyway. With a piece of an " O. ; batten nailed over the central joint, and the whole well painted, I have the best cover I have had after trying nearly all. Now for the hive or super—which? It is all the same. Fig. 3 shows one on end, and also the frames. I advocate the 10-frame size as the best for all purposes, especially for my purpose, as I have tried them side by side with 8-frame sizes; and I would not hesitate to advocate the 10-frame size with my system of management for comb honey in the North as well as here in the South, as I believe that I could get better results, with less swarming, even there, than are obtained with the too small 8-frame hives. These supers are nothing other than the standard o%- inch deep shallow super with frames 5^8 deep of Hoffman self-spacing style. They are just idea! for bulk-comb- honey supers, for extracting supers, and for divisible brood-chamber hives. My frames have narrower top-bars than the regular ones put out, and are.

The difference in the passage-way between the two kinds of frames is an impor- tant item, as one hinders the bees and queen passing from one story to an- ot
