FROM MANY FIELDS

Black Medick. 



I am a mailing a plant that I would 

 like to have named. If it reaches you 

 without getting smashed you will see 

 that it resembles white clover very 

 much, only that the blossoms are yel- 

 low, about the color of golden-glow, 

 and the seeds are in clusters about the 

 shape of a head of clover, and each 

 seed is on a stem by itself, and not in 

 pods like clover. I found this plant 

 and one other in a patch of white clo- 

 ver I sowed last spring.

[The plant belongs to the same fam- 

 ily as the clover, and is called Black 

 Medick. It originally came from 

 Europe, but grows well in this coun- 

 try.— C. L. Walton.] 



Very Poop Season— Too Much 

 Swapming. 



We had a very wet spring here, fol- 

 lowed by a dry spell, and bees have 

 done very poorly. 



Last fall I packed my bees away for 

 winter with all kinds of clothes in the 

 supers. I then had 45 colonies, and 

 the first of May I had only 23. I think 

 they swarmed too much, as I had about 

 80 swarms. I have not taken off over 

 SO pounds of honey, all told. The su- 

 pers are all full of comb, and partly 

 full of honey. The bees have begun 

 to store a little honey now, and I think 

 we will get some yet. We got all our 

 surplus last fall in September and Oc- 

 tober. I made all my own hives.

Reap-End Feeder- Bees Have Paid 

 Well, 



When I read of Mr. Irvine's rear-end 

 feeder, page 619, it brought to mind a 

 story I heard when a small boy. A 

 farmer told his hired man to feed the 

 mules corn in the ear, and upon hear- 

 ing an unusual noise in the barn he 

 went out to find that the man was 



IF YOU INTEND TO KEEP MORE 



BEES'^ 



Ne.xt year, a bargjia is now offered you to ob- 

 tain strong, reliable stock for increase. The 

 bees are as fine a strain as there is in Amer ca. 

 I have bought queens from all the test breed- 

 ers, and spent much time in developing a strain 

 that excelled in honey-gathering, hardiness, 

 gentleness, and white-capping. 



For $7.00 I now offer goods lor which I have 

 been receiving $12. CO. 



I will ship, for $7.00, a young Select-Tested 

 Italian Queen of above strain, value $3.00, in a 

 full Italian colony of S frames bees and brood 

 (value $7,001, sufficient honey lo vvinter on !.*1.05 

 at lowest valuation); all in a new dovetailed, 

 painted hive. Roofs make i55c): a bottom- 

 board {2^5c] and a strong cover, covered with 

 painted Nepodset roofing (45ci; all making a 

 total value of ?12.C0, which, as before said, will 

 be shipped for ^7.00. Everything in best condi- 

 tion. No bee-disease has ever been known in 

 this locality. Safe delivery and satisfaction 

 guaranteed. Please don't delay, but order at 

 once. FRED'C E. SMITH.
