The bee-keepers' Bill is known as House 

 Bill No. 356 in the House of Representatives, 

 and as Senate Bill No. 207 in the Senate. 

 When writing to Senators mention the latter 

 Bill, and when writing House members men- 

 tion the former Bill. All the members of the 

 Legislature can be addressed State House, 

 tSprlngflehl, III., instead of to their residence 

 post-offices. 



Now, let every Illinois reader of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal write at once to his Senator 

 and Representatives, requesting them to sup- 

 port and vote for the Bill " making an appro- 

 priation for the Illinois Bee-Keepers' Associa- 

 tion." Write to as many other members 

 of the Legislature as you can, in addition to 

 your own Senator and Representatives. The 

 bee-keepers from all over the State should 

 simply " snow them under" with letters. 



We may say that we think there is a good 

 prospect of the Bill being passed. But the 

 more letters from bee-keepers to the law- 

 makers the better. 



Do it now ! 



General Manager France, of Platteville, 

 Wis., wrote us March 2 as follows: 



I go one week to Farmers' Institutes, 

 talking bee-culture and small fruit; and then 

 have to stay at home a week to catch up In 

 General Manager correspondence. 



To-day I have receipted for dues from 28 

 members in 13 Slates — .Maine to California. I 

 have a basket full of letters to answer. Sev- 

 eral State Legislatures I am laboring with to 

 enact belter laws of interest to bee-keepers ; 

 and a case to investigate where a city declared 

 bees a nuisance. 



No danger of the General Manager being 

 out of a job very soon. 



N. E. France, OeH.JTgr. 



The Rearing of Children is the sub- 

 ject of a discussion in the Progressive Bee- 

 Keeper by F. L. Thompson and Somnambu- 

 list. As Mr. Thompson is a bachelor more or 

 lessconrflmed.andasit is generally understood 

 that Somniy has never waked up sutttciently 

 to select a wife— well, we shall see what we 

 shall see. 



John V. Nebel, one of the veteran bee- 

 keepers of Missouri, has been elected a mem- 

 ber of the State Legislature, in spite of the 

 fact that his opponent belonged to the party 

 which, for years, has held the ascendancy. 

 There's good timber for law-makers among 

 bee-keepers. 



Te.\as and Utah are both doing some 

 lively pulling for the. next National conven- 

 tion. So is California.
