AMERICAN BEE lOURNAL. 



Nov. 28. lyOl 



most happy, blessed and helpful association that I was to put 

 up my things instanter and every time. Coat on a chair: not 

 much. Hat or books on his table: certainly not the second 

 time. Boots anywhere rather than close side by side in touch 

 with bed-lei; just under the bed, as I retired; well, if so not 

 repeated. What if it did seem a little toush then? What if 

 it (lid make me dream of home and mothiM-.' It was a most 

 valuable and much-needed lesson. 



Mother marveled when I came home on vacations, at the 

 valuable influence of collefre to make students more orderly 

 and thoughtful. She did not know until I told her years after 

 that it was my room-mate. Prof. Prentiss — long the honored 

 Professor of Botany in Cornell University — that wrought the 

 reform. To-day he is with God. beyond the river, but his salu- 

 tary influence is still on earth, and it did much for me. 



I know a mother who was left a widow with four children 

 and a larjredebt. She had been a teacher: indeed, it was she 

 that first said ■"college" to me, and with a look and emphasis 

 that made me resolve that it and its invaluable gifts should be 

 mine. She was determined that all those children should have 

 a college education. Through indomitable energy and cour- 

 age, by dint of long, hard hours of severest labor, she lifted 

 the debts, gained a competency, and sent all her children to 

 college. She felt that they must not have the hard life that 

 she had suffered. She sent money to tbem in handfuls. One 

 of her boys was dubbed "Vanderbilt." This was before her 

 debt burdens were lifted, and in spite of the fact that the hoy 

 knew of his mother's trials and hardships. I begged of her to 

 withhold the money, but she was deaf to my suggestions. The 

 two older boys were almost ruined. They are now pretty suc- 

 cessful and valuable men, but it took years, and much more 

 of the mother's money, to tindo the mischief. 



My father gave me to know that possibly he could not 

 afford means to send me through college. "It would depend 

 upon the expense." He also said something about my record. 

 He need not have done this, as I was just athirst for what the 



college could give me. As a result, I earned enough while in 

 college more than to pay half my way, though I was far from 

 strong. Whatever I may have thought then, I now am sure 

 that my father was very wise. No father, I ween, can do a 

 wiser thing than to inculcate in his child a love for work, pas- 

 sion for industry, and habit of economy of both time and 

 money. Indulgence will never grow the kind of fiber that 

 gives us our grandest men and women. A wise requirement 

 of work, duties regularly, faithfully and promptly done, will 

 secure noble men, and such requirement is the best heritage 

 that any son gets from wise and loving parents. 



THRIFT. 



Can a father give a son wiser advice than that he save 

 each year a part of his income? I know far more than one 

 man who spends each year the entire amount of his earnings. 

 I Ivnow of more than one whose expenses exceed the income. 

 This course, if a man is rightly endowed with proper sensibil- 

 ities, will handicap his daily efforts, as with such loss of inde- 

 pendence comes unrest, and discontent weighs down efficiency. 



No father can do a wiser tiling than to furnish a son or 

 daughter with opportunity to earn money, and then watch for 

 every opportunity to beget a love and habit of wise saving. 



LOVE OF PARENTS. 



The fifth, or pivotal, cummandment of all the ten, is 

 " Honor thy father and thy mother." If Joseph, after his 

 great honors and opportunities came to him, could have gone 

 to see that old, loving father: or, if there did not seem insu- 

 perable objections to his going, then he was a bad, undutiful 

 son. If, on the other hand, his heart yearned to go, and he 

 denied himself the great pleasure, feeling that possibly family 

 discord and greater ill-will and discontent would follow such 

 visit, made before dvie preparation prepared father, and es- 

 pecially brothers, for it, then he was truly a grand boy. In 

 industry, purity, kindness, and generous magnanimity, he was 

 certainly a model for all the ages.

A War Veteran's Report. 



I am an old veteran soldier of the Civil War 

 of is(;i-isij5. serving three years and eight 

 iiioiiths in Company H, First Michigan Light 

 Artillery. I was injured in the service, hav- 

 ing taken part in 15 battles, and now draw a 

 pension. 1 have kept bees and farmed ever 

 since. I have a small farm and grow fruit 

 and general produce. I had four colonies of 

 Italian and h.ybrid bees, spring count, which 

 increased to 11 and yielded 80 quarts of ex- 

 tracted and 00 pounds of comb honey. I have 

 had a Novice extractor for 10 .years, but have 

 not used it much, as 1 reduce the number of 

 my colonies to about 10 or 12, as 1 have no 

 time to attend to more. I generally sulphur 

 that number every fall, and use the combs 

 thus obtained to extract from the following 

 season. 



This has been the best honey season in 

 years in this vicinity. I have been sowing 

 sweet clover in waste, out-of-the-way places 

 of late years, and have gathered a lot of it 

 this fall, and also catnip seed, to sow early in 

 the spring of lil02. It yields lots of honey 

 and bees work on it a month. I use S-frame 

 double-wall and 10-frame single-wall Sinqjlie- 

 ity hives. VVii. Martin.

Safe Introduction of Queens. 



So much has been written on introducing 

 (lueens, and .so much dissatisfaction and so 

 many failures, that I am hereby induced to 

 give my plan, which, up to the present, has not 

 failed in a single instance, and it would be 

 hard for me to believe that any one would 

 fail who adopts my method and strictly cai- 

 ries it out. If it is a queen received thr(.)ugh 

 the mails, 1 follow instructions on the ([iieeu- 

 cage. and I have never lost a queen by that 

 plan, unless there happened to be two (lueens 

 in the hive— not thinking that the old mother
