QUEENS! 



Improved Golden and Leathef-colored Ital- 

 ians are what H. G. QUIRIN rears. 



We have one of Root's best loner-tongued Red- 

 Clover Breeders from their $2(iO queen, and a 

 Golden Breeder from Doolittle.who says if there 

 is a BREEDER of ffoldeu bees in the U.S. worth 

 fWO, this one is worth that sum. The above' 

 breeders have been added to our already im- 

 proved strain of queens for the comingr season. 



J. L. Gandv, of Humboldt, Nebr., wrote us on 

 Aug. 5th, IQiHi, saying that the colony having 

 one of our (lueens had already stored over 400 

 pounds of honey (mostly comb); he states that 

 he is certain that our bees woik on Red Clover, 

 as they were the only kind in his locality and 

 apiary. 



A. I. Roofs folks say that our queens are 

 extra fine, while the editor of the American Bee 

 Journal tells us that he has good reports from 

 our queens from time to time. We have files 

 upon files of unsolicited testimonials. 



After considering the above evidence, need 

 you wonder why our orders have increast each 

 year? Give us a trial order and be pleased. We 

 have years of e-xperience in mailing and rearing 

 queens. Safe delivery will be guaranteed, and 

 instructions for introducing sent with each lot 

 of queens.

Rendering Beeswax. 



With reference to the color of wax I would 

 like to say a few \vords in regartl to my ex- 

 perience with the wax that I have melted dur- 

 ing the past five or si,x years. It is true that 

 there are two kinds of wax, and that both 

 may be produced in the same apiary, but I be- 

 lieve the foreigu particles have a good deal to 

 do with the color of wax, just as they would 

 have with hot water or hot lard, giving them 

 a dull, dirty appearance that no amount of 

 slow cooling will brighten. The secret of 

 bright wax does not lie in the sloiv cooling, 

 but ill the melting, which should be very slow. 

 I extract the wax in a solar extractor, then 

 put it in an earthen pot, and set the pot in a 

 dish-pan full of cold water, setting it on the 

 stove and allowing it to come to a point where 

 the wax begins to melt. Then I push it back 

 and let it melt as slowly as it will, and that is 

 about 20 pounds a day. As fast as it melts I 

 diji it oil and put it into molds, which I have 

 sitting in hot water. This allows slow cool 

 iug so that the dirt may settle. I sell it in 

 small cakes weighing about two ounces each 

 for 7 cents a cake. 



My bees are wintering well.

Belgian Hares and Bees. 



Prof. Cook was right in saying that Belgian 

 hui('> Wile ;ill rJLiiit to coml^ine with the V)ee- 

 liusiiM--. ;i> few animals can be found that 

 will \iilil nioir jiroflt than Belgian hares. 

 This citu nut lie said of bees in this locality, as 

 we have had nothing but short crops and 

 failures for over 10 years, which has made it 

 necessary for me to add something else to 

 bee-keeping. 



Last season was one of the poorest we have 

 ever had. I did not get a pound of surplus 

 honey, and had to feed sugar-syrup in order 

 to kci']) the queen-rearing colonies in good 

 cmuiition for rearing queens. 



,\fter purchasing the Belgian hares the first 

 and most important thing is to have a place 

 for them that is dry and well ventilated, as 

 they can not stand dampness, but can endure 

 almost any amount of cold if they are dry and 

 not exposed to a draft. 



They are reared in a small room called a 

 hutch, about 2x4x2 feet, or larger if conven- 

 ient. Place a nest in one end of it, 1x3x1

PAN AMERICAN EXPOSITION. 



Nothing since the World's Fair, at 

 Chicago, in 1893, has elicited the wide- 

 spread interest that is manifest, all 

 over the world, in the Pan-American 

 Exposition, which is to be held in Buf- 

 falo, from May 1 to Nov. 1, 1901. 



The purpose of the Exposition is to 

 illustrate the progress of the countries 

 of the Western Hemisphere during a 

 century of wonderful achievements, 

 and to bring together into closer rela- 

 tionship the people composing the 

 many States, Territories and Countries 

 of the three Americas. Acting under 

 proper authority, the President of the 

 United States has invited all the Re- 

 publics and Colonies of the American 

 Hemisphere to join in commemorating" 

 the close of the Nineteenth and begin- 

 ning of the Twentieth Century, by 

 holding this International Exposition 

 on the Niagara Frontier. 



For this important event, the Nickel 

 Plate Road has issued an attractive, 

 descriptive folder - pamphlet, elabor- 

 ately illustrating the Pan-American 

 Exposition, the buildings and grounds. 



The Nickel Plate Road is the short 

 line between Chicago and Buffalo, and 

 affords competent train service from 

 Chicago to Buffalo, New York City, 

 Boston, and all points East, with trains 

 of modern equipment, on which na 

 extra fares are charged ; also dining- 

 car service of the highest order. It af- 

 fords meals in its dining-cars on the 

 itidividual club plan, ranging in price 

 from 35 cents to SI -00. 



Call on any ticket agent for Pan- 

 American folder of the Nickel Plate 

 Road, or address John Y. Calahan, 

 General Agent, 111 Adams St. .Chicago. 



Parties desiring hotel or rooming ac- 

 commodations at Btiffalo or Niagara 

 Falls, during any period of the Pan- 

 American Exposition, are invited to- 

 apply by letter or otherwise to F. J.
