Yellow OP Hop Clover. 



I send a plant which came up among- 

 alsike clover. It is a clover, but no 

 one around here has ever seen it, and 

 I can not find the name of it. What is 

 it ? J. A. WEISSENFEI.S. 



Chippewa Co., Wis., Sept. 22. 



[The clover in question is the yellow 

 or hop clover, from the yellow flower- 

 head and the brown color which it has 

 when older. In common with other 

 clovers, it probably contributes its 

 share of nectar. — C. L. Walton.] 



Values the Bee Journal. 



I wish to say that I think the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal the cheapest dollar's 

 worth one can g-et of that kind of liter- 

 ature. I read it regularly ; I profited 

 by it to the value of much more than I 

 paid. 



My bees did fairly well this summer, 

 though my wife had to do the work at 

 swarming-time. H. Bbers.

Rain in Central California. 



About two weeks ago we were having 

 unusual rains, but soon thereafter the 

 storm let up. We never had so much 

 rain before in September. In this city 

 the record was the greatest — 5.07 

 inches; 1.70 at Fresno; something 

 like 3 inches at Sacramento and Stock- 

 ton, I believe ; and .28 at Los Angeles. 

 The weather was nice and mild ; then, 

 after the rain, the days were pleasantly 

 warm, and — oh ! my, how vegetation 

 sprung out of the earth ; In 3 days 

 alfilaree seed germinated and put forth 

 its first leaves ; in 4, burr-clover and 

 marshmallows were above ground. In 

 a week the hills were again visibly 

 green. At this writing the hills arid 

 valleys are again as verdant almost as 

 they were in April. Just think, only a 

 fortnight ago the hills seemed as dry 

 and parched as a new-burnt brick. 

 Now another rain is upon us, and may 

 last a few days. Of course, we are not 

 in need of these rains. California 

 farmers, like farmers the world over 

 for that matter, are always behind time 

 in ' getting their crops under cover. 

 Hay, grain, beans, and any amount of 

 raisins and prunes that were in course 

 of being dried in the open air were 

 ruined. Thousands and thousands of 

 dollars worth of such crops were dam- 

 aged, as also hops, grapes, aud other 



fruit and vegetables easily ruined by 

 untimely moisture. 



While many have been harmed by 

 these rains, the owner of bees will be
