he wishes to measure his success in dollars 

 and cents, he may choose from many other 

 fields more fruitful in that direction. The 

 making of money in a legitimate manner is 

 honorable, but an editor, like a teacher, a phy- 

 sician, or a clergyman, must have another 

 and higher object — that of doing good.— Bee- 

 Keepers' Review. 



Propolis for Healing. 



When first I went into the bee-lmsiness, 

 probably the second year, with Mr. D. A. 

 Jones, some one told me of the healing prop- 

 erties of propolis, and I made a salve for years. 

 This summer I advised a bee-keeper, who had 

 a \ot-ot propolis, to make some of the salve 

 and sell it; but probably he considered it 

 would be difficult to impress the people with 

 its virtues, and did not make any. The prepa- 

 ration is made by heating olive or sweet oil 

 and propolis. Enough oil must be put in to 

 make a paste that will readily spread when 

 cool. If too hard, add more oil. An insoluble 

 brown residue will be left when thoroughly 

 heated. This must be removed by straining 

 or dipping when hot. That is all about it. 

 The salve is excellent, and it would be well 

 for every bee-keeper to have some of it in the 

 house; and, more, I believe that where once a 

 customer is obtained there will be no difficulty 

 in more being required when the first stock is 

 exhausted.— R. F. Holtermanx, in Glean- 

 ings in Bee-Culture. 



Bottom Feeder — How and What to 

 Feed. 



To know how to feed, so there will be ;io 

 robbing, and not a spoonfu! lost, even if you 

 feed a ton of it, and not lose any heat from 

 the hive or drown a single bee, or kill one in 

 any way— I have tried nearly every feeder 

 that has ever been described in the bee-jour- 

 nals and bee-books, and several different ways 

 of my own, and can find nothing that will fill 

 all requirements at all times like the follow- 

 ing: 



Take some 2x4 scantlings, either hemlock, 

 basswook or pine, out them in pieces 4 inches

The Novelty Pocket=Knife. 



Your Name and Address on one side — Tbree Bees on the other side. 



Your Name on the Knife.— When oideriug, be sure to say jtist what name and 

 Address you wish put on the Knite. 



The Novelty Knife is indeed a uovelty. The novelty lies In the handle. It is 

 made beautifully of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as g-lass. Un- 

 derneath the celluloid, on one side of the handle is placed the name and residence of 

 the subscriber, and on the other side pictures of a Queen, Drone, and Worker, as 

 shown here. 



'I'he Material entering- into this celebrated knife Is of the very best quality; 

 the blades are hand-forged out of the very linest Eng-lish razor-steel, and wc war- 

 rant every blade. The bolsters are made of German silver, and will never rust or 

 corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver wire; the lining-s are plate brass; 

 the back spring^s of Sheffield sprinff-steel, and the finish of the handle as described 

 above. It will last a last-time, with proper usage. 



Why Own the Novelty Knife ? In case a good knife is lost, the chances are the 

 owner will never recover it; but if the " Novelty " is lost, having name and address 

 of owner, the finder will return it; otherwise to try to destroy the n.ime and ad- 

 dress, would destroy the knife. If traveling, and you meet with a serious accident, and are so foi 

 tunate as to have one of the *' Novelties," your Pocket-Knife will serve as an identifier; and in 

 case of death, your relatives will at once be notified of the accident. 



How appropriate this knife is for a present! What more lastinij memento could a mother 

 give to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a ladv to a gentleman, the knife having 

 the name of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanying cu* gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation ot 

 this'beautiful knife, as tly ** Novelty ■" must be seen to be appreciated. 



How to Get this Valuable Knife.— We send it postpaid for $1,25, or eive it as a Premium to the
