inches high.

Some apiarists omit the porticos, but we like them, and the bees appear
to enjoy them. Right angled triangle blocks, made right and left, are
used to regulate the entrance. By changing the position of these blocks
on the alighting board the size of the entrance may be varied, and the
bees always directed to it by the shape of the block, without any loss
of time in searching for it--in case of robbing the hive, the hive can
be entirely closed with them. A board was formerly used to cover the
frames, but is now generally abandoned, apiarists preferring duck,
enameled cloth, or heavy muslin.

MISCELLANEOUS.

ARM & HAMMER BRAND

TO FARMERS.--It is important that the SODA OR SALERATUS they use should
be _white_ and _pure_, in common with all similar substances used for
food.

[Illustration: CHURCH & CO'S SODA & SALERATUS]

In making bread with yeast, it is well to use about half a teaspoonful
of the "ARM AND HAMMER" BRAND SODA or SALERATUS at the same time, and
thus make the bread rise better and prevent it becoming sour by
correcting the natural acidity of the yeast.

DAIRYMEN

AND

FARMERS

should use only the "ARM AND HAMMER" brand for cleaning and keeping
milk-pans sweet and clean.

_To insure obtaining only the_ "ARM AND HAMMER" _brand Soda or
Saleratus, buy it in_ "POUND _or_ HALF-POUND PACKAGES," _which bear our
name and trade-mark, as inferior goods are sometimes substituted for
the_ "ARM AND HAMMER" _brand when bought in bulk._
