 the first time this year. Lewis Lamkis. 

 Woodbury Co., Iowa, Oct. 28. 



The National Association. 



I am a bee-keeper, fruit-grower and tarnier. 

 I have about 20 colonies of bees, and so far 

 have succeeded, with the help of the " Old 

 Reliable,'' to sell a few hundred pounds of 

 nice comb honey every year, besides having it 

 on the table at every meal, as my family and 

 I are very fond of it. I have sold all my 

 lioney the last few years to the same store- 

 keeper for 12J.>' cents per pound, and next 

 year's crop is ordered before this year's is 

 sold. 



Now for a question : Would the National 

 Bee-Keepers' Association protect and help a 

 member if he were swindled by a comniission 

 man to whom he had sold his farm products, 

 such as apples, prunes, etc., the same as when 

 he is swindled out of a shipment of honey f 

 I have had no trouble so far, but I think pre- 

 caution is better than cure.

[Yes, we think the Association would do all 

 it could for its members to get justice in such 

 a case, though honey-deals are its speciality. — 

 Editou] 



Hoping for a Good Wetting. 



Although I am well advanced in years, and, 

 unfortunately, an invalid, I manage to attend 

 to my little apiary. With severe losses and 

 extra labor-cost during the past drouth, feed- 

 ing, and fighting bee-diseases, etc.. I am still 

 " in it,'" and expect to stay with it. with the 

 American Bee Journal as a welcome visitor 

 and guide. 



The first rain of the approaching winter 

 season fell here' Oct. 27, and again Nov. S> 

 and 11, and we are all hoping for a good wet- 

 ting about the coming holidays. I am win- 

 tering my bees on tiie summer stands, but, as 

 a precaution on account of the high altitude 

 and occasional cold snaps, they are packed a 

 little warmer. Gustav Voss. 



Riverside Co., Calif., Nov. IB. 



A Report— Red Clover. 



My bees did fairly well the past season, 

 averaging from 25 to 55 two-pound sections 

 of nice comb honey per colony, spring count. 

 I started the season with 24 colonies, increas- 

 ing to 36, and two swarms left for the woods. 

 I have sold nearly all my honey in the home 

 market. My bees worked on red clover as 

 much as on the white. Clover is in good con- 

 dition this fall— we are getting plenty of rain, 

 and things are booming. I would like some 

 of the " wise heads" to tell me if red clover 

 yields nectar every year. My experience says 

 not. here in Iowa ; or is it locality ? 



Page Co., Iowa, Nov, 13. Jerry Scott. 



Poor Prospect for Wliite Clover. 



I do not know what we will do for honey 

 next year, as the white clover has been killed 

 by the drouth. No. 1 honey here is worth 15 

 cents per pound by the case. I sold all I had 

 at that price. I had no swafms to speak of 

 this year. I hive the swarm on the old stand, 

 and remove the old colony to a new location 

 at once, the swarm catching all the field-bees; 

 by putting the super from the old colony on 

 the new I have it full of honey in a few days, 

 if the low is good. Bees went into winter 

 quarters in good condition this fall. Although 

 I can not agree with it in everything, I do not 

 see how I could get along without the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal. J. M. Mote.

Favors the Honey-Extractor. 



The honej'-extractur is an article little used 

 by farmer bee-keepers and many others who 

 keep but a few colonies. Yet a good ex- 

 tractor is one of the very necessary things 

 every bee-keeper should have, even if one has
