CONVENTION NOTICES. 



The Ctiiual .Michigan Bcc-Keepers' Association 

 will meet in the Pioneers' Kooin, in the State Capi- 

 tol, at LansiUK-, Mich., at 9 a. m., Nov. U, 1885. Ev- 

 ery one who has bees, or is interested in bee cul- 

 ture, is invited to attend. K. X. Woon, Sec. 



The Southeastern Michigan Bee-Keepers' Associ- 

 ation will not hold any meeting here this fall, as 

 the North American, the Michigan State, and the 

 North-Westorn, all meet together within the terri- 

 tory covered by this Association (at Detroit), and it 

 comes so close to the time ol' ours that we have con- 

 cluded to attend there. .\. M. fiANDF.rt. Pec'v.

 railways for reduced rates to Detroit N. A. H. A. 

 1 Dec. 8, 9, and 10). Will all bee-keepers who can or 

 will use said railways to attend, said convention, 

 kindlj' drop me a card, stating the I'oad they i)rclVr 

 to use, or the roads the.\- could use in case arntnge- 

 ments can ho effected with one line onl.\'.' When 

 we approach railroad men we must have some data 

 to talk from. S. T. 1'kttit, Vice-Pres't

.NOKTH AMEHICAS BKIO - KEEPERS .ASSOCIATIO.X ; 

 now TO FIND THE HAI.E; HOTEL HATES, ETf. 



Free and complete arrangements have been made 

 lor the ne.xt meeting of the North American Bee- 

 Iveepers' Association, to be held at Detroit, Dec. 

 s— Ui. Hotel rates were obtained at $l.)t:> per day. 

 (Their regular rates were $2.00.) We secured the 

 use of what is known as the "Bed Men's AVigwam, " 

 a nice hall, directly opposite the hotel. It is well 

 furnished and carpeted. It is located at h:! Michi- 

 gan Ave., about :.'0 rods from the City Hall, so you 

 will see that it is very centrally located. The An- 

 tisdel House, where the above i-ates were secured, 

 is a splendid place to stop at. Mr. -Antisdel has the 

 reputation of keeping the best temperaiu-f hotel in 

 .Michigan, and, taking all in all, we wt it- very for- 

 tunate in securing so good a pl.ice, and in getting 

 !t hall so near. The committee are at work on re- 

 duced rates on railroads, and, so far, have succeed- 

 ed in securing rates on all roads in Michigan and 

 tin all tickets sold as far east as Buffalo and west to 

 Chicago. We are in hopes to get rates from New 

 Vork, as far west as possible. The matter is in 

 correspondence, and you will receive due and time- 

 ly notice. Now that all arrangements have been 

 made for a successful meeting, let every one come 

 and make it a success. H. D. Cutting.

The above engine has been in use about live 

 jears; but Mr. A. J'. Stauffer, of Sterling, 111., of 

 whom we purchased it, writes in regard to it as 

 follows: 



I guarantee the engine to be in good working 

 shape, as good as it e\-er was. I had boiler e.\amin- 

 ed last spring by a steatn-tlttcr, and he pronounced ' 

 it as good as new. 1 alwajs used soft water. I am ] 

 furnishing my shop with new machinery and am ' 

 anxious to sell or exchange it. I have to get more 

 machinery, and my twf)-horse power is too light.

We will sell the above engine, to be taken at , 

 Sterling, 111., for an even #100, and we will put our , 

 guarantee on top of that of friend S. We obtained I 

 it of him in exchange for some new machinerj-, he, I 

 of course, putting in a larger engine and boiler. j
