(2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Bee-Keepers' Review, Vol. 27: January 1, 1914 Last summer, when I took off one hundred pounds of as fin comb honey as you would wish to see, from this outfit where it had been for twenty years, and only making two visits yearly - the one to put on the honey cases and the other to take off the honey - I thought that was as nearly automatic as we could. Get things in this world. When I realized what an enormous amount of honey is going to waste in this country every year, which takes no fertility from the soil, and could be so easily gathered up, I resolved to do all I could to make this method of handling bees known. I put up an outfit for a teacher in the High School, two years ago. The school is right across the street from the outfit I put up twenty years ago. She got over one hundred and fifty pounds from it this year while away on her vacation. Last fall the Bissells went to Europe for a year, and their man put on cases for one hundred pounds before they went away, as the house was to be shut up, and those were filled when they returned.

Excerpt from The Bee-Keepers' Review, Vol. 7: Jan. 10, 1894 Take one item. For myself I have become more and more impressed with the impor tance of a thorough knowledge of tounda tions designed for use in sections for the production of comb honey. Much has been guessed but so far as I can learn little is yet known on this subject. In the experiment of which I recently gave an account one of the objects aimed at was to determine if possible if there was a difference among them and if so what kind was of such a nature as to enable the bees to work it down most nearly to the thinness and character of natural comb. To me the results were very satisfactory and encouraging and this not because one kind was shown to be better than another but because it appeared that a meth od had been hit upon by which the relative value of foundations could be practically determined. But this it seems is only a be ginning. Now that a door is open many other questions come up at the very thres hold and press for a solution. What makes the difference among found 1t10ns Is it the character of the machine used in making or the character of the wait or is it the method of the dealing with the w, x? Then if comb from foundation is made as thin as the natural comb, is it still more tenacious or is it equally friable and tender? Again it is well understood that the natural comb is not composed entirely of wax but that other substances are combined with the wax. Can any th'ng be done to imitate the natural comb in this, and so make foundation even less subject to the charge of being an adul. Teration than it is at present This suggests the matter of economy of wax in the use of foundation thus: What is the per cent. Of wax wasted, not to say worse than wasted, when so made into foundation that the septa of comb resultingis 60 per cent. Thicker than the septa of natural comb or to put it in another way If foundation whose septa the bees will work down to a thickness of 90 of an inch is worth 600. What is that worth whose septa the bees wil work down to a thickness of 60 of an inch Prob ably from twenty-five to forty per cent. Mo e. If a man needs much foundation this should touch him at the tenderest point. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
