Moving to Fall Pasturage When and How. BV GEO. DEMUTH. MY locality furnishes surplus honey from clover and basswood only. No honey is gathered after the basswood harvest closes, the bees thus becoming consumers in July. Tweuty- five miles away, in a region of small lakes, are numerous '' dead lakes," or swamps and prairies. In August and September the goldenrod and Spanish-needle transform these prairies again into have been by no means dazzling, yet the cash realized on the time actually spent makes B.}j(i'iiiem wage, which, if continuous, would tempt most of us. One year very little surplus was secured, yet if there had been none, the increast amount of brood reared, and the filling of the hives for winter, would have been ample pay for the time spent in moving. Many have askt why 1 do not locate permanently in this prairie region. It I were located there I would need to move here for the fitrhj honey-flow. When the honey-flow ceases here, the sections are removed, and, as far as they will go, extracting-supers are adjusted. If I had enough extracting-supers I would ordi- narily extract all the amber honey; yet, as I have no trouble in selling this amber comb honey at more than double the price of the same extracted, I have not seen fit to provide extracting-supers for all colonies to be use
