The Practical Bee-Keeper, the new bee-paper in Canada, published by C. A. Ouellette, was recently changed from a quarterly to a monthly. Bro. Allen Pringle, who so successfully superintended the Ontario apiarian exhibit at the World's Fair, last year, is one of the Practical's regular correspondents, as shown by the May and June numbers. Bro.

What a happy looking family it is! And how proud of them " ye editor" of the Canadian must be! Perhaps the following stanza, taken from the same number, explains the secret of Bro. Holtermann's apparent domestic felicity: "Eternal is the peace that dwells Frame-Spacers.-Mr. J. W. Tefft, of New York, has sent us samples of the frames which he uses, on which are projections right at the four corners, which serve as self-spacers. They are made by leaving the ends of the end-bars and top and bottom bars 3% inch wider, 4 inch from the ends, and thus when nailed together they 636859 |
