SUNDRY MATTERS. 



In making Bee veils use Tarleton in place of Crown ' 

 Lining as advised on page 2, Vol. 1. | 



Mrs. Axtell writes «s that we made a mistake on j 

 page 10, Jan. No., when we give her credit of extract- i 

 Ing 3000 lbs. ; that it was only about one-half that i 

 amount. I 



We have just received an extra nice lot of Alsike i 

 Clover seed, new crop, raised in our own vicinity, so | 

 that we know it is pure and safe. Single pound by { 

 mail in cloth bag 456.; by express 35c., if over 10 lbs. 

 £tOc. only, 



We learn from J. D. Kruschke, Berlin, Wis., that 

 there is a good market for the oil from Rape, and that 

 in fact we at present import it to supply the demand. 

 We refer all interested in Rape culture to the little 

 book to be had by enclosing nc. to the above address. 



Magazine reached ns on the 15th, with its appear- 

 ance much improved. On further Consideration we 

 have decided to keep the clubbing price with it and 

 Gleanings at SI. 75, and $.").00 for all the Bee Joui-nals. 

 If our readers will now excivse so many changes we 

 Will try to change no more. 



Mr. Doolittle, of Borodino, and L. C. Root, of Mo- 

 hawk, N. Y., have each sent us a club of 20 subscribers, 

 Prof. Cook, and several others, nearly as many. A 

 few more such friends and we might afford to give 

 you a larger Journal and larger type, without any 

 change in price. 



OUK thanks are due J. C. Colbome, of Chicago, for 

 a description of the hive and frame used by Mr. Har- 

 bison. It is not a suspended frame, nor is it like 

 Quinby's. We should prefer getting sometliing more 

 definite, and from Harbison himself, If possible, before 

 giving it to our readers. Dimensions of frame about 

 12x15. 



Our mailing type goes by machinery that won't 

 work unless 75c. be remitted once a year. Therefore 

 look to the labels on your jKipers and see when your 

 time will be out. If the paper stops coming blame the 

 "machine" and not us ; also, if the labels do not al- 

 ways present your account to j'ou monthly, as it should 

 be, drop ng a postal. 



We presume nearly every one of our readers, has 

 already done something for the relief of the Kansas 

 and Nebraska sufl'erers ; to those who have not had 

 the opportunity presented them, we would refer to 

 Mr. James Vick's proposal In his Floral Guide. His 

 arrangements enable him to give a receipt for all 

 money, and to also show how and where it has all 

 been judiciously expenaed. 



NorwiXHSTANDiNO all that has been said about 

 honey dealers, we have at least two men in whom we 

 feel we can place implicit confidence ; Lippincott of 

 I'iltsburg, and Muth, of Cincinnati. Mr. Muth has for 

 many years been dealing in supiilies, and we have yet 

 to hear a single complaint of him in any shape or 

 manner. His honey jars are very neat indeed, and 

 what is more they Mill hold an honest pound, or 2 lbs., 

 according to the stamp in the glass of each. As an 

 instiince of the magnitude of his business, we may say 

 that he has given the manufacturers orders for 1000 

 gross for the coming season ; customers may depend 

 on getting goods as soon as oi-dcred. 



My bees, .50 stocks, on their summer stands, are not 

 doing well ; weather very cold, some days below zero 

 all flay. A good deal of ice in hives, with not sufllclent 

 warm weather to thaw it and dry them out. Have 

 lost some alread;-, and shall lose more if the weather 

 does not (change soon. 



John r. Temi'i.e, Ridgcway, Mich. Feb. 5th, '75. 



The San Diego Mountain honey does not candj- 

 altbougli expv>scd to a freezing temperature in an un- 

 covered vessel. Mr. Tweed says such is their experi- 

 ence, and astonishing as it may seem, such proves the 

 case with us, while all our other honey under the same 

 conditions, is white and solid.
