j§ Read Dr. Miller's Testimony on Alfalfa Honey: 



:^ I've just sampled the honey you sent, and it's prime. Thank you. I feel that I'm 



•^ something of a heretic, to sell several thousand pounds of honey of my own production 



:^ and then buy honey of you for my own use. But h.iwever loyal one ought to be to the 



'^ honey of his own region, there's no denying the fact that for use in any kind of hot 



VS drinli, where one prefers the more whole.some hone; to sugar, the very excellent quality 



'^ of alfalfa honey I have received from you is better suited than the honeys of more 



liS marked flavor, according to my taste. C. C. Miller. 



;^ McHenry Co., 111. 



f5 Order the Above Honey and then Sell It. 



i^ We would suggest that those bee-keepers who did not produce 



^ enough honey for their home demand this year, just order some of the 



liS above, and sell it. And others, who want to earn some money, can get 



i^ this honey and work up a demand for it almost anywhere. 



^ GEORGE W. YORK & CO., 144 & 146 Erie St., Chicago, III. 



I shall feel abundantly repaid for the expres- 

 sion of my convictions. 



Also, let me state that I sowed some of 

 the white mulberry seeds the middle of 

 last month (August 1. and that at this date 

 (Sept. 20), the plants from those seeds are an 

 inch high, and look vigorous. This is only 

 another way of suggesting that the readers 

 fan as readily propagate their plants at a 

 nominal cost for seeds. I hope to have seed 

 to spare next July to give, with my compli- 

 ments, to all bee-ljeepers, and to such others 

 as may write for some. Postage is all that 

 will 'oe required. Dr. Peiro.

Golden Honey-Plant. 



I send a honey-plant which I desire named. 

 There is much of it growing here on the bot- 

 tom lands, and it is the greatest honey-plant 

 we have in this part of the country. The nec- 

 tar flows in it for about one month. It grows 

 about 4 to 6 feet high. The honey from it 

 has a yellow cast. 



Our bees did no good this year in storing 

 surplus honey. J. L. BiDER. 



Coffee Co., Kan., Sept. '20, 



[The plant in question is the famous 

 fiolden honey-plant — Actinoineris squarrosa — 

 and Ijelongs to the great Composite family. 

 It grows tall and branching in rich, loamy 

 soil, and is a boon to the apiarist. Prof. 

 Cook, in the "Bee-Keepers' Guide," page 

 371, mentions the plant as possessing great 

 attraction for bees. Many other composite 

 flowers are good honey-producers, such as the 

 boneset. asters, goldenrod. etc. — C. L. Wal- 

 ton.] 



Honey-Dew on the Hickory 



Leaves. 



Editor York: — I send some shellbark 

 hickory leaves for 3'our inspection. They 

 were plucked at 11 o'clock a.m., covered with 

 honey-dew (0- For weeks the hickory leaves 

 have been covered mornings with this stuff, 

 sometimes so thick it would run down and 

 fall in big drops. The bees gather it indus- 

 triously. Toward noon it dries up consider- 

 ably, but I have some leaves on my desk that
