THE SIZE OF HIVES.
Avoid the Extremes—Many Apiarians Giv«
Nine Frames tUe 'Preiereix.eo.
Elisha Gallup, the investor of the Gallup hive, used 12 fr^pftea, but beekeepers
have been, e^pewmenting in regard to
$je sjze of hives and have reduced the
BTOafeer down to nine frames. This
gives nearly 1,050 square inches of comb.
To„find the number of square inches in
a frame multiply the length by the
depth, then nse the number of frames
which come nearest to 1,050 inches, and
as a rule we will have about the right
sized brood chamber, writes E. S. Mead
to The Ohio Farmer,   He says:
Sometimes we find queens that are nn-
tjguaUy fertile and will keep 10 frames
filled with brood. My hives are nearly
all chaff hives and have very large brood
chambers, which are contracted by division, boards to the proper space for nine
..    '*     ..#"
yaMeiesi'fof- either bibba or honey, ana
oW-courge there is no way to remove such
combs as. there is in movable comb hives.
Now I think: the size of the hive has
much to do with the profitable production of Comb honey, and I don't believe
ihe conditions'are the same everywhere.
I know vi beekeepers who ihse large
Uvea and claim theyare better. Their
neaaods are" longer, including - the bass-
woodfibney flow, and last from 40 to 50
days and sometimes longer.
In 60 far aa my experience goes, I prefer a rather small hive for a short honey
flow* sometimes only using eight Gallup
frames. Bnt when a queen can't keep
nine such, frames full of brood I count
her an inferior one, and the best thing
to do is to behead her and give the colony
a new queen.   	
The California exposition.
An international exposition will be
held at San Francisco, beginning Jan, 1
and ending June 30,1894. .The site of
this California "World's fair is located in
Golden Gate park and will cover an area
of about 100 acres. There will be five
principal buildings for the Midwinter
fair—Manufactures and Liberal Arts,
Agricultural and Horticultural hall, Mechanical Arts. Fine Arts and Decorative
Arts, and Administration building. Information for intending exhibitors may
be obtained by applying to the department of publicity and promotion, California Midwinter International exposition, Mills building, San Francisco.
Keeping: Brussels Sprouts.
The American Cultivator says that it is
not best to trim the leaves from Brussels
sprouts for winter keeping unless they
become decayed. Placing white paper
between the leaves and the head will be
an advantage. Brown paper will color
the head. Keeping the plant dry at r.
low temperature, but above freezing, is
a requisite to success. The plant is not
hardy, and even light freezing is injurious to it-  ,
RYE IN  A CORNFIELD.
A. Progressive Farmer Tells of Two Successful "Ways of Solving It.
There are two "best" ways to sow rye
among corn, and we have had good success "both ways, writes one of Ohio's practical farmersto The Country Gentleman.
He says: Our first way was to wait until
the corn was cut up and off the field; as
the filling of the siloes demanded it the
last weekin October. Nx>preparation«f '
the ground was attempted before sowing
the rye, which was broadcasted on at the
rate of two bushels per acre. The cutaway harrow was-then set to work going
both ways of the field, which cuts the
soil fiae and sufficiently deep, and then a
64 tooth harrow was run once over the lot
to smooth it dosn. Fos "two years we
thought that the rye did not get the start
it should before winter, and have since
put it in early in August, once the last
week in July.
If this course is pursued, it requires a
clean cornfield and oue finely worked to
make a full success of it. If the corn is
nottoohigh.it is not a hard job to sow
it, only it wants to be thrown into the
air fairly high and not over three rows
attempted at a time. Another way is to
sew up the end of a two bushel bag, cut
two large pocket holes crosswise near the
middle, put a half bushel of rye in each
end, put it on a horse in front of you
and sow first with one and then with the
other hand. Of course the covering
means the last working of the corn, and
that implies very shallow culture. So
.take a common five shovel cultivator, put
the wheel well down in front, then take
jtwo hard wood blocks, 14 inches thick
j and 6 inches wide and long, bore a hole
through the centers just large enough to

tgiye the queen more room.   If 6he does

outside shovels, fasten them on and cultivate in the rye.
The object of the blocks is to prevent
going in so deep as to cut off the corn
roots, which should be avoided, espeei^k-S
ly if the weather is dry or droughty, for
to cut oS com roots after the corn is tas-
seled out is to invite a "big field of soft.
corn, for at this stage of growth it is difficult for the new growth of roots to repair the damage of tlie deep cultivation,
and the corn cannot get nutriment sufficient to mature the crop fully. This year
we shall simply bolt a crossbar •£ wood,
1 by 2 inches, 3 feet 4 inches long, to the
opposite outside shovels of the cultivator, allowing the teeth to extend li
inches below the bar. This gives the
finest covering to the rye yet-attempted

as the ends of the bar project 2 inches

up to the very roots of the stalks. When
the rye is sown as early as Aug, 1, one
can, if the rains are timely, sow on four
quarts of clover to the acre at tho tame,
' and in the winter the rye will protect it,
and when the rye is cut for the grain,
the clover is left in "full feather"
months ahead of spring sowing.
