honey. I have a good home trade, and 

 have only 75 pounds of honey left. I 

 sold it for 10 cents a pound, wholesale 

 and retail. 1 



I have my hives bought for 1905. I 

 use the " Muth special", 8-frame. I 

 have 10 Danzenbaker hives, but I do 

 not like them on account of the closed- 

 end frame. I like the " Muth special " 

 because it has Hoffman frames and 

 Colorado covers. r^ 



I wish you could see some of my fall 

 honey. It is as white as snow, and is 

 gathered from "frost flowers", the 

 last bloom of the season. It lasts about 

 12 days, and frost will not kill it.

 stands. Frank Hinderkr.

Milk for Bee-Stings— Extpacting: 

 from Combs Containing Brood. 



The honey season in this vicinity 

 has been a poor one. Half a crop is 

 what most bee-keepers report, and this 

 was gathered during white clover 

 bloom. It has been too wet, and nig^hts 

 too cool, for honey-gathering. Some 

 bee-keepers who work for extracted 

 honey will have to feed their bees. I 

 work for comb honey ; I have 20 colo- 

 nies that are very strong in bees and 

 heavy with honey, and I can see no 

 reason why they should not winter well 

 unless the bees are too old to live 

 through a long winter. They have to 

 remain in winter quarters four months 

 or more. 



On page 660 appears an account of 

 the serious experience of W. W. Shafer 

 with bee-stings. Mr. Shafer asks for 

 some remedy to counteract the bad 

 effect. I will give an account as it 

 was given by one of my neighbors, a 

 bee-keeper of large and long experi- 

 ence. As I shall give it from memory 

 I may not get all the details as they 

 were told to me. 



Mr. Jones has a large apiary, and is 

 afflicted with rheumatism. In the 

 spring of 1903 he was obliged to get a 

 man to help him. This man was stung 

 one day and it affected him the same 

 as it did Mr. Shafer. Mrs. Jones had 

 heard that milk was a sure relief for 

 persons thus affected, so she gave him 

 all the milk he could drink, and in a 

 short time he was relieved, and the 

 effect of the sting all disappeared. 



This same man was stung again the 

 past season, and the effect was worse 

 than in the first instance, for it was 

 thought that he was dying. The milk 

 remedy was given as before with the 

 same result. 



Milk is a very pleasant, agreeable 

 medicine to take, and is worth a trial 

 by others. But it must be borne in 

 mind that the same medicine may not 

 affect different persons in the same 

 way. I seldom get stung, but when I 

 do I apply aqua ammonia as .soon as 

 possible, and in a very few minutes 

 the effect of the sting is all gone ; but

The Novelty Pocket=Knife. 



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



[This Cot is the trm,!. Size op the Knipe.J 



Your Name on the Knife.— Wben orderiug, be sure to say jnst what name aad 

 Iddress you wish put on the Knite. 



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

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

 oerneath 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 Qoeen, Drone, and Worker, as 

 shown here. »/ 7 -. • 



The IVtaterlal entering into this celebrated knife is of the very best quality; 

 the blades are hand-forged out of the very finest English rai!-ir-steel, and we war- 

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

 corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver wire; the lininirs are plate brass; 

 theback springs of Sheffield.spring--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 pood knife is lost, the chances are the 

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

 Dt owner, the finder will return it; otherwise to try to destroy the name and ad- 

 dress, would destroy the knife. If traveling-, and you meet with a serious accident, and ar« so for- 

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

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



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

 give to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a ladT to a gentleman, the knife havlnr 

 the name of the recipient on one side? 



.i.i.-i,''^''";-^'^^'!™?," "•^'°1'^".l F,"'^^ ^ '^^'■'' '"^^^< *>"' cannot fully convey an exact represenUtlon of 

 this.beautiful knife, as tb* " Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated.
