ABOUT COMB BUILDING.
It
Does Not Pay to Let Beea Hake
Their Own Foqndatlon.
The man who allows his bees to build
their own foundation is merely wasting
the time of the bees. Sometimes it
seems' like spending a great deal of
money that might be saved to buy
foundatin. Dut is rally economical
to 'lo so. Honeycomb is made of
practically pure wax, and this is, m
j f act, the fat of the bees. It is un Jer tha
j scales of the abdomen and may be seen
there if the bee is put under a glass of
very ordinary magnifying power. This
wax is pulled from its place by the claws
of the bees and worked into comb, and
tbis operati(n takes time that is lost
when the colony might be storing nectar
if the foundation has been furnished,
No man has been able to make founda-
tion that is as soft, and pliable as the
comb tbe bees make, but a pretty fair
imitation is made that answers all prac
tical purposes.
When honey, comb is first made it is,
as every one knows, sweet and perfectly
palatable, but as soon as brood begins to
be grown in it, each embryo weaves a
thin cocoon that is never removed, and
the cell becomes smaller and the comb
darker with each succeeding brood
hatched in it. This makes the bees
grow smaller and smaller, and such
comb should be cut out and melted down
for sale before it gets too dark to find
a place to keep them.
Where sections axe used the comb is,
of course, removed often end sold, and
here is where the most profitable use of
foundation comes in. Journal of Agri

In breeding queens artificially it is
important to get good cells for brood of
the right age.
An absolute requisite of successful
beekeeping is a prompt attention to all
of its varied duties.
If a colony has a young queen and is
strong in numbers it will curry out the
eggs and moths as fast as hatched.
Bees when building comb begin at
the top and hang in heavy clusters to
the comb until they complete it.
Never-allow a swarm, of bees to re
main out long after settling. Hive
them as soon as possible and lessen the
risk of loss. ' :
In each family of bees there are three
distinct kinds, which- differ in form,
color, structure, size,, habits, and i unc
tion. . '

ARGUMENT.
All large dealers, like the Portland firms,
htive enormous expenses that we do not have
in the way of immense rent, electric light,
clerk hire, freight, dravage and numerous
other bills." Especially is this true of their
n tents who cart their pianos around from
town to town, creating bills which you have to
share if you buy of them. Larpe firms save
about S10 on a piano bv buying in large carload
lots Do you think thai makes up for she
above expenses? We are in a position to sell
cheaper than any larga firms and the way our
customer;-, are i creasing gives evidence that
people re finding it out. Beware of spec
ial sales, piano clubs and the .like.
Notirmran .-ell goods at wholesale pnees to
the retail trade and no firm does. We
always make a profit on our pianos aud never
give auvone a special price, or sell to you for
less than vour neighbor, as we have but one
irice the "rear around. There is not another
dealer in the Pacific Northwest, to our knowl
edge, which has strictly oue price on each
piano from which they ever never deviate.
