Jonesboro, Ark., Oct. 7, 1902. 



Mr. Atchley, Sir:— The queen I got of you in 

 1901 has proved to be a dandy. The year of 1901 

 was so dry I did not get 200 pounds of honey from 

 100 colonies, but in 1902 I have secured as high as 

 140 pounds from one colony; and the queen I got 

 of you swarmed five tunes' and the first swarm 

 swarmed five times, and the original colony and 

 he first swarm e.ich stored 28 pounds of honey; 

 so you see I have 11 colonies from one, and 56 

 pounds of honey. I consider this extra for one 

 queen and colony; in fact,, it beats anything I 

 have ever seen or heard of. Besides this, I took 

 out eight queen cells and made swarms, and 

 some of them made 56 pounds of honey. If any 

 c yon scieniific men have had any queens that 

 woidd beat tliis, I would like to hear from you. 

 So you see, my Texas queen, as I call her, is a 

 dandy. 1 want no lietter I think she is as good 

 as the best.
