month. They commenced to drag out dead 

 ones during" the warmest part of the day to- 

 ward the last of the month, till the ground 

 was covered and the entrance was clogged. As 

 they had plenty of honey in March I could 

 not account for the dead bees, and began to 

 think they had the paralysis. The weather re- 

 mained so cool that I did not attempt to ex- 

 amine them till the last of the month, when 

 I found the trouble was starvation, as they 

 did not have a drop of honey, and I do not 

 suppose would have lasted 24 hours longer. 

 One colony was so near gone that they did not 

 go down to the syrup I gave them till they 

 were sprinkled with the syrup from ray fingers, 

 which they licked from one another. In 5 

 minutes the air was full of bees, and you 

 may be sure that I did not let thcni ro liungry 

 again. N. Fred Gardiner.

We have just publislicd a work entitled, 

 "The American Government," edited by H. C. 

 Gauss, Esq. Mr. Gauss is a trained journal- 

 ist at present occupying the responsible posi- 

 tion of Private Seccrtary to Attorney General 

 Bonaparte. 



This book not only gives a list of all offices 

 of sumcient importance to be filled by Presi-

^Td"" liaiian Qy66n-B66 



For a number of years we have been sending out to bee-lieep- 

 ers exceptionally fine Untested Italian Queens, purely mated, and 

 all right in every respect. Here is what a few of those who re- 

 ceived our Queens have to say about them : 



What They Say of Our Queens 



George w. Yoke & Co.:— The two queens received of you some time 

 ago are line. They are Kood breeders, and the workers are showinK up fine. 

 I introduced theiu amon^ black bees, and the bees are nearly yell<iw now. 

 and are dointr K"Od work. A. w. Swan. 



Nemaha, Co., Kan.. July l.'i, inoi. 



and, although I kept 



have never built a queen-cell, a 



flow lasts this week. 



Ontario, Canada, July 2:2. 190r,, 



UHAS. Mitchell. 



Qeorge W. Yobk & Co.:— The queen I bought of you has proven a good 

 one, and has given me some of my best colonies. N. P. OGLK8BY. 



Washington Co.. Va., July 22. 190.',. 



George W.YOHK & Co.:— The queen I received of you a few days ago 

 came through O.K., and 1 want to say tbat she is a beauty. X Immediately 

 introduced ner into a colony which had been queenless for 20 days. She 

 was accepted by them, and has gone to work nicely. I am highly pleased 

 with her and your promptness in tilling my order. My father, who is an old 

 bee-keeper, pronounced her very fine. You will hear from me again when 1 

 am in need of something in the bee-line. E. E. McColm. 



Marion Co., 111. .July 13. 



We usually begin mailing Queens in May, and continue there- 

 after, on the plan of "first come first served." The price of one 

 of our Untested Queens alone is "5 cents, or with the monthly 

 American Bee Journal one year — both for .*1. Three Queens 

 (without Journal) would be $2.10, or 6 for $4.00. Full instructions for introducing are sent 

 with each Queen, being printed on the underside of the address-card on the mailing-cage. You 

 cannot do better than to get one or more of our fine Standard-Bred Queens. 



A Great Bee=Book for Bee-Keepers 



Every one who has bees, or is thinking of keeping them, should have a good bee-book. 

 The one written by Prof. A. J. Cook, called 



The Bee-Keepers' Guide; or, Manna! of the Apiary 



is a fine cloth-bound book of 544 pages. It gives in detail much valuable Information about 

 bees and the successful management. This book is in its Utth thousand, so it has had a large 

 sale. It is also the latest edition. In connection with the Weekly American Bee Journal it is 

 most helpful. It answers so many questions that constantly arise, especially among beginners, 

 and that of course cannot be repeated in a bee-paper. Prof. Cook is a bee-keeper of over 30 

 years' experience. He is also a close student of nature, a scientist — in short, a man who has 

 given his life to the study of bees and related subjects. You would wonderfully enjoy reading 

 his book, and at the same time be greatly profited. Better have a copy of it. 



Tbi? bee-book is $1.20 postpaid, or with themnnthlyAmerican Bee Journal one year — 

 both for $1.45. It is the biggest 1!5 cents' worth of bee-literature to be found anywhere. 



GEORGE W. YORK & CO., 



CHICAGO, ILL. 



?Rnd all orders to 



by the Senate, but a complete statement of 

 the powers and duties pertaining to each office 

 and the salary attached thereto. How many 

 Americans are there who could tell precisely 

 what the powers and responsibilities of the 

 United States District Attorney or the Collector 

 of the Port are, and the extent of power vested 

 in the hands of Bank Examiners and the 

 Comptroller of the Currency, and to what work 

 of reference could they turn for full informa- 

 tion upon these subjects? 



This book contains information upon points 

 of law, procedure and custom not known to 

 many of even the best informed citizens. 

 Not maTy know that the terms of the Post- 

 master General and the Comptroller of the 

 Currency extend a month beyond the term of 

 the President who appointed them, and that 

 the Postmaster General, unlike other Cabinet 

 officers, can be removed by the President only 

 with the consent of the Senate. Few know 

 that United States Senators and Representa- 

 tives have a right to select, subject to the pass- 

 ing of examinations, cadets in the Naval Acad- 

 emy, but have no such risht with reference 

 to the Military Academy, for which their se- 

 lections are merely advi.sory, the President hav- 

 inR the sole power of appointment. These and 

 many hundreds of other facts as little fa- 

 miliar arc brought out in this useful volume. 



What American traveling abroad or contem- 

 plating going abroad but would gladly know 

 the duties and powers of the American Am- 

 bassador and Minister, the Consul General 

 and the American Consul; what their duties 

 are, not only to the Government they rejire- 

 sent, but to American citizens who visit the 

 countries to which they are accredited as well. 

 Not long since a famous New Yorker lost a 

 suit in the United States Circuit Court in- 

 volving more than $100,000. He desired to 

 appeal it to the Supreme Court of the United 

 States, but was astounded at being told by 

 his lawyers that they were not sure that he 

 could appeal it. and to his astonishment the 

 Supreme Court refused to hear the case. 

 Now this book tells just what cases can be 

 heard in United States Courts and the juris- 

 diction of each court ; and also covers all 

 points likely to come up about the Govern- 

 ment and its officials in all their relations at 

 home and abroad. 



The book makes a volume of 900 pages, 

 bound in half morocco, and the price is $5- 

 It is a book of reference for American citi- 

 zens and for foreigners who desire full and 

 authentic information as to the organization of 

 the United States Government.
