wet and cold the latter part of March up to 

 the middle of April. The bees got very little 

 good from the apple-bloom. We are looking 

 for a good honej'-flow when our crimson 

 clover blooms. We have about .30 acres of it. 

 It is looking fine, and will be out in full 

 bloom in a week or ten daj'S. There is not 

 much other clover, as most of it froze during 

 the winter. I have a few acres of alsike, and 

 there may be some little white clover along the 

 roads and fences. L. A. Hammond.

Feeding in Sauce-Dishes. 



As I have not seen or read of anybody feed- 

 ing my way, I will describe it. I got some 

 sauce-dishes, ordinary size, at 50 cents per 

 dozen, and put in them two small pieces of 

 corn-cob, put a super on the hive, put in tlie 

 dish, put in the syrup, and there you are.

Working in the Third Super. 



My bees are doing well. I have some colo- 

 nies that are working in the third super. I 

 hived a swarm two weeks ago, and they have 

 filled two supers, and are now working in the 

 third. 



The American Bee .Journal is a great help 

 to me. Luther Presswood.

Bee-Keeping in Texas. 



I think the bee-business will soon be good 

 in this part of Texas, for it is a good country 

 to grow lots of alfalfa. This is the finest up- 

 land country in the world, and cotton is the 

 best nectar-yielding plant in the world. It 

 secretes it at the base of the bolls and squares, 

 and on the under side of the leaves and in the 

 blooms. It, together with alfalfa, will make 

 this a fine bee-country. I produced 4000 

 pounds of honey last year. I have 72 colonies 

 at present, but they are badly neglected on 

 account of other business. 1 think I will 

 have an exhibit at the World's Fair. I have 

 collected the vessels for it. J. M. Hagood. 



Delta Co., Tex., Feb. 9. 



A Cold, Wet Spring. 



We are having a foggy spell of weather just 

 now, when the bees should be piling in the 

 honey from black sage. Of course, the bees 

 are storing some honey in the warm part of 

 the day, but unless it clears up soon there 

 will not be nearly as much black-sage honey 

 as expected. Bees do better this year away 

 back from the coast, above the fog. There is 



PhflCClifl (Tanacetifolia) 



the great Honej and Forage Plant, can be 

 planted any time, while there is moisture. It 

 blooms si.K weeks after sowing. Seed, 1 ounce, 

 25 cents, postpaid.
