into them, without retaining the disposition 

 for excessive late breeding, thf better bee he 

 will have. I have the "red clover" strains 

 of Italians, but they do not work as well on 

 red clover as uiy Carniolans do. Though I 

 have never measured their tonftues I believe 

 thej' can reach farther than Italians. 



It should not be understood that all crosses 

 of this kind are as satisfactory as those men- 

 tioned above, for about 3H percent proved to 

 be determined swarraers. 



Weed Foundation Not Inferior. 



1 regret that, in the report of the Ontario 

 Bee-Keepers' Association convention, page 37, 

 of the American Bee Journal, through some 

 one's slip, a decidedly wrong impression is 

 given of what was said by me about the Weed 

 foundation. I distinctly said that I had not 

 found other section foundation more accept- 

 able to the bees. In fact, so far the contrary 

 is my experience, and I hope no one will use 

 that incorrect statement as evidence of the 

 superiority of other makes. 



The Weed foundation has, for brood or sec- 

 tions, the advantage over any other I have so 

 far used, of staying better where it is at the 

 beginning; less sagging, or none at all. It 

 is stronger; less weight per sheet in the brood 

 will answer — a great saving. — K. F. Holter- 

 MAX'N, in Gleanings in Bee-Culture. 



Close Saturdays at 1 p.m. — Our custo- 

 mers and friends will kindly remember that 

 beginning with July 1, for three months we 

 will close our office and bee-supply store at 1 

 p.m. on Saturdays. This is our usual custom. 

 Nearly all other firms here begin the Saturday 

 afternoon closing with May 1st, but we keep 

 open two months later on account of the local 

 bee-keepeTS who lind it more convenient to 

 call Saturday afternoons for bee-supplies.
