The freshness of the country-side, the varied beauties of Nature, the flowers, the bees, and the inhabitants of the farm- yard exert a lasting charm. The in- vigorating air and the sunshine beget a keen appetite and a face bronzed and brown. There is fascination to be found in the work and changefulness of the country— the sequence of sounds that the hours bring in regular cycles. The hum of in- sect life, the faint rustle of the trees and movements of the cattle lend interest to each passing hour; whilst at night the air, though so still, reverberates with sounds like the rasping of crickets, the musical cry of the game-birds, and the hoots of the owls. On this farm most of the work was done by women, many of' whom were quite new to the operations connected with dairying, feeding live stock, poultry management, haymaking, fruit gather- ing, and bee-culture. In this they took the place of men, and very businesslike they looked in brown smocks and sun- bonnets pitching hay or loading wagons.

Nothing awakens interest in the be- ginner like the first view of a hive in- terior; to be able to watch the seething mass of restless workers clinging to their combs, to see the pure white ring of sealed honey above the circles of hatch- ing brood, or the pollen carriers trudging along the frames. And these young ladies were soon adept at opening hives, finding the queen, cutting out cells in the swarming season, adding fresh supers, forming nuclei, and so on. The natural fear of stings quickly passed, and by the protection of a bee- veil and gauntlets confidence was soon gained. Though no one can hope to keep bee
