Now 1 am ready to write what I
started to write whea I coasmeaeed. Ia
the fail Gi late I arranged aa aa experi
ment, only, a samall place to wiater
bees In, The rooni f about tea feet
Ioag. six wide and five high. There
is room for about 39 hives of bees If
the winter-cases are removed. The wall
oa the west side is about six inches
thick. The other sides are double, the
inner wall being only heavy building
paper, while the outside is boarded and
shingled- there is a doable roof to
the building, aad a veatllator opening
to-the south betweea the two roofs;
aot much ventilation at the bottom.
Floor is the plain earth. The last two
years the bees were put in about the
atiddle of December; every colony caate
oat both years ia fine condition,
though the first year there waa ao
ventilation at the top of the building.
and a few combs moulded a little.
Taia year the bees were removed oav
the 9th day of March, and the six days
'Allowing were warm and summer-like.
I judged that there were about two
quarts of dead bees in all. and every
comb waa aa bright and clean aa in the
falL Sobm of the colonies commenced
to carry ia pollen inside of 24 hours
a fact attesting the perfect way the
bees had wintered.
New comes the point aad the theory
T wish to emphasise. There was bo
such thiag aa an even temperature in
the beehouse duriag the two wlaters,
t did not waat such a thing to be so.

Repeated experimenta have showa
that no fear Is to be entertained as
to the effect of ensilage on the aael
Ity ef milk. Some of the most
progressive dairymen ia the country
feed it, even those that are shipping
milk at fancy prices to thousands of
customers. Good silage fed properly
Is bound to Improve the quality of the
nLi and butter rather thaa detract
from it. If the silage la kept la the
barn with the cows, and parts of the
silage refuse allowed to pile up aad rot
in the corners of the caw stable till it
becomes a fetid mass, then very likely
the milk will be affected, for It ie be
lieved that the odors of such masses
will readily impart themselves to the
milk. This ia denied, we know, by
those who assert that milk will not
take in odors wkea ia the warm state,
