a hot time. We agreed to evacuate, 

 and come another day, so we loaded 

 up the old boxes and went home, feel- 

 ing badly whipped. 



In a few days I got a card from the 

 widow, to come and take those bees 

 away, as they were stinging the chil- 

 dren and the chickens, and everything 

 they could get at. I did not know what 

 to do. Finally I made up my mind to 

 take those bees, dead or alive. I took 

 sulphur with me, to kill them if they 

 showed fight. 



We got there just at sunrise. They 

 were out and ready for us. I put on 

 iriy new veil, and went for them with 

 volumes of smoke, but it had no effect 

 on them. The more I smoked the 

 more they came out. We had to re- 

 treat, just covered with bees. They 

 were in my pockets, and everywhere. 

 We let them settle, then I packed dirt 

 around the bottom to keep them in. 

 At last I got the top screen tacked on, 

 but they kept working out through the 

 dirt at the bottom. 



I happened to think of my package 

 of smoking tobacco. I filled the 

 smoker, got it to going, and stuck the 

 nozzle in the auger-hole. It was not 

 long before they put up a terrible howl. 

 I did punish them good. They quit 

 howling, and everything was quiet. I 

 told John I believed I had killed them 

 all, but he said he didn't think so, that 

 they had only surrendered. 



I turned the log down to tack on the 

 screen, and about a peck of bees 

 dropped down. I tacked the wire partly 

 on, scraped up the drunken bees, and 

 dumped them in and closed it in a 

 hurry. We put them into the wagon, 

 and had not gone a mile before they 

 were as lively as ever. Poor John was 

 swelled up like a toad. This spring 

 the moth or wax-worm got into the 

 hive, and did a better job than I did. 



This is a longer letter than I ex- 

 pected to write, but I hope the editor 

 will not call me down. It is like a 

 Methodist experience — the half will 

 never be told. S. T. Crim.

Bee-Keeping in Northwestern New 

 Mexico. 



This is an off-year for Northwestern 

 New Mexico, but not a failure. Spring 

 rains failed to materialize, and, as a 

 result, our bees were starving when 

 our eastern friends had their crop 

 gathered. 



Last year was an exceptional one, 

 and our bees were not without a flight 

 for more than a week at any one time 

 during the winter. They were in fine 

 condition in the spring, but the har- 

 vest was too long delayed for many. 

 Those who were near large fruit farms 

 were more fortunate, and ready for 

 business when the harvest did begin. 

 Sweet clover was fine, but has seen its 

 best days. Two crops of alfalfa have 

 been harvested, and the prospects are 

 that the third will mature before frost. 



Bees are now humming over the 

 Rocky Mountain bee-plant (cleome), 

 but the area this year is limited to the 

 low bottom-land. " Rabbit brush " 

 (doubtless a kind of sage) is in full 

 bloom, but bees don't pay much atten- 

 tion to it now. It produces dark honey. 



Nearly every ranchman here is a 

 bee-keeper. There are few profes- 

 sionals. This is certainly the home of 

 the honey-bee, but the obstacles bal-

Forty Years Among the Bees, by Dr. 



C. C. Miller. — This I'uok contains 328 pages, 

 is pound in handsome cloth, wilh gold letters 

 and design ; it is printed on best book-paper,

 years ago he wrote a small book, called "A 

 Year Among the Bees," but that little work 

 has been out of print for a number of years. 

 While some of the matter used iu the former 

 book is found in the new one, it all reads like 

 a good new story of successful bee-keeping 

 by one of the masters, and shows in minutest 

 detail just how Dr. Miller does things with 

 bees. Price, $1.00.
