Medley is nut ready. Some of the "cogs'' must be 

 loose we tliinlc, in tlie maciiinery we have improvised 

 for indufinp some of tliose from wliom pictures would 

 be particularly desirable, to semi them in. Some time 

 this month you may exjiect the whole family of us by 

 mail. We have thouglit of giving a short sketch of 

 the different individuals by way of introduction. 

 What we don't know we can ''guess at" providing we 

 are careful to step on nobody's toes, for they might 

 turn about, and we are "so 'ittle'' (as Blue Eyes says) 

 compared with some of those "big chai)?.'' By the 

 way, we are proud to say, we are going to have quite 

 a smart little company of J^aiiies, among which will 

 be foiunl that Heroine of tlie Extractor, Katie Grimm. 

 Her father also favors us with his presence.

Good Books. 



These, though not specially designed for Bee- 

 keepers, have a tendency to inculcate princi- 

 ples that ensure success in bee-keeping as well 

 as almost all other rural pursuits. 



The first on the list should be in the hands 

 of every one who has planted grape vines to 

 shade the hives, as we have advised. 



Any of these books will be forwarded by mail, post- 

 paid'., on receipt of price.
