. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 368 November, 1916. American Vae Journal keeping the hives dry. Water was still standing about, and we were informed that it was very unpleasant earlier. However, the big clover flows usually follow a surplus of moisture and a bumper crop has been reported in many sections of Ontario this season. Instead of using one large extractor as is often the case in large apiaries, two 4frame extractors run from a line shaft are in use at the Deadman apiary. The contention is that two 4-frame ex- tractors can be run to better advantage than one 8-frame machine and with less power. While one is running, the other can be filled so that the whole outfit is not idle during the time neces- sary to change frames, as is the case where a large machine is used. The super cleaner described last month is a unique device which originated here. At Lambeth there are three extensive beekeepers within a stone's throw of each other. Two live on adjoining lots and the third lives across the street. In our last number we showed the picture of Mr. W. D. Campbell, and Fig. 4 in this issue shows the other two, Mr. E. T. Bainard and Mr. D. Anguish. Mr. Bainard very generously took his car and drove to as many yards as there was time to see. At Mr. Campbell's yard we found the 4-piece section in use. Mr. Campbell follows the plan advocated by Dr. Miller of using two hive bodies for brood-rear- ing, reducing to one set of frames for the honey flow. t]Mr. Bainard uses the Heddon sec- tional hive very successfully. I have always been prejudiced against this hive until I saw it in use by men who produce very large crops of honey in Ontario. It must be admitted that in the hands of skillful men it brings good results. Still I often wonder whether the men who get such crops with these shallow hives, would not get more honey if they used a deeper frame. Beekeeping after all depends mostly on the man.
