 (}. W. Dean, River Styx, Medina Co., O., like 

 many of the rest of our friends has made him- 

 self master of one particular point. 

 Friend D's specialty is being able to make his 

 bees build all worker combs, and build them 

 fttriiit. His bees in fact, obey orders in general 

 much better than some we have seen. P. 91,

"(Jal!ui)'s" name lias become almost a lionsf- 

 hoM word among l)ee-keepers, and we only re- 

 gret that we do not hear from him of lale us 

 often as we once did. Open almost any where 

 in Ihe earlier volumes of (he A. JJ. J., and you 

 »nay be sure of hearing either from or <^/hini.

 Katie (TUi.M.\f, (now Mrs. H. (iciseler, of Green 

 Bay, Wis.) will have to be considered the Her- 

 oine of the Extractor for some years to come 

 we fear, as no other young Miss, (or Mrs. either 

 for that matter) seems equal to the task she 

 describes on page 53, of A. li. ,/., for Se[)t., '71.

Dr. H. before his decease, was one of the 

 most extensive Ai)iarists in the South, and la- 

 bored long and diligently in disseminating the 

 Italians. At the time of his death, we believe 

 he counted his colonies by the hundred.

li\ accordance witii your invitation in (iLEANiNos, I 

 send you my wile's an'd my rtwn Piioto, as we arc both 

 bee-kee))er8, altiious^h novices. W^e start with 100 

 stands of bees, out of which one vvas killed while mo- 

 vinfj them over a rocky road, the rest are all very 

 larse colonies, some blacks, some hybrids, and the 

 rest Italians. We learned the theoreti«;al part of 

 Ai)iculture and now we start in i)ractlcc. The bees 

 work on ])ollen noxii. I have been pr;tcti<;in>r medicine 

 in town, but my liealth failed and I gave it up, and 

 put up a bee ranche at the foot of the Sierra Madre 

 Mountains, about lifteen miles from town in a flne 

 l)lace. We have a line Iiouk; and start an extensive 

 orchard and vlnf vard in addition to our l)ecs. We, L 

 mean wife and self, are great bee entliusiasts ; BtingB 

 ilon't scare us, and we are in anlicii)ation of a lively 

 season. At the foot of our hou-^o we have over ."JOb 

 acres white sage and much other bee feed. 



We extend to you and your wife a hearty 

 welcome. Dr. J., and shall look forward with 

 much pleasure to receiving frequent reports 

 from your mountain home. ]\Iay we suggest 

 to Mrs. J. that although her task may at times 

 be laborious and fatiguing, we hope she will 

 not bo wearied in well doing. Remember that 

 a nation of sisters are debating whether they 

 are lUted for such duties, by their husband's, 

 father's or brother's sides, and e\en one who 

 gets discouraged and gives up may may exert 

 a wide influence over the rest. Think of the 

 great blessing of that robust health, that is 

 only to be oi)tained by a life in tin; open air, 

 among the liills flowers and trees, and remem- 

 ber wliat a great boon it will be to many, of 

 your sex, if they once learn that they can thus 

 be useful, and feel that their acciuired skill and 

 knowledge, places them, where they may not 

 feel depeiuient on others, no matter what re- 

 verses may overtake them in life.
