melon-patch — has, no doubt, deterred worthy 

 but timid bee-keepers from maliingtheexperi- 

 naent. Again I would like to assure them I 

 have no white mulberry trees to sell (or any 

 other sort), and in this instance, at least, have 

 not the least selfish scheme to promote. But, 

 having stumbled on a really good thing I 

 would like others to enjoy the certain benefits 

 that cannot fail to result in planting a hun- 

 dred or more trees as a sure honey-producing 

 supply. Last year I sent out some cuttings 

 to some 50 applicants. 1 promised one and in 

 each case sent three cuttings to make sure — 

 simply on receipt of postage — with the ex- 

 pressed desire that the recipients write me 

 results, that if not successful I might mail 

 them a young rooted plant, which I was rais- 

 ing from the seeds purposely to present them. 

 How many heeded my request * Not one ! It 

 has settled my enthusiasm ; I offer nothing 

 more — plants or cuttings. 



I am glad to have had some bee-keepers 

 come, talk and inspect the facts. A Mr. Owen 

 and his son were over during the full fruitage 

 of the tree — the only bearing one I have. 



My bees are doing splendidly. I am feed- 

 ing them crashed white mulberries everyday, 

 besides their natural forage. 1 have taken 

 off some flne^Jhoney and expect considerable 

 more in early fall. The ripening berries will 

 last another week or two — generally for five 

 weeks during the season, in which time, if 

 fed plentifully to the bees, tangible results 

 are certain to follow. 



Probably here endeth the last chapter of 

 Peiro's Epistle to bee-keepers concerning the 

 white mulberry as a honey-provender. Selah.

Merits of Black's and Italians. 



L'nder all circumstances, the Italian prob- 

 ably comes as near being the "all-purpose'' 

 bees as docs any variety. The Italians are 

 amiable in disposition, and very industrious, 

 but they have their limitations. 



The Italians are not as good comb-builders 

 as the black or German bees; they dislike to 

 store their honey far from the brood-nest, and 

 are inclined to fill the cells so full of honey as 



Tennessee Queens.

Dr. Miller's New Book 



SENT BY RETIRIN MAIL. 



The book contains 328 pages, is bound in handsome cloth, with gold 

 letters and design ; it is printed on best book-paper, and illustrated with 

 over 100 beautiful original half-tone pictures, taken by Dr. Miller himself. 

 It is unique in this regard. 



The first few pages of the new book are devoted to an interesting 

 biographical sketch of Dr. Miller, telling how he happened to get into 

 bee-keeping. Seventeen years ago he wrote a small book, called "A Year 

 Among the Bees," but that little work has been out of print for a number 

 of years. While some of the matter used in the former book is found in 

 the new one, it all reads like a good new story of successful bee-keep- 

 ing by one of the masters, and shows in minutest detail just how Dr. Mil- 

 ler does things with bees. 



HOW TO GET A COPY OF DR. MILLER'S 



"FORTY YEARS AMONG THE BEES." 



The price of this new book is $1.00, post-paid ; or, if taken with the 

 WEEKLY American Bee Journal for one year, both will be sent for $1.75. 



Or, any present regular subscriber to the American Bee Journal 

 whose subscription is paid in advance, can have a copy of Dr. Miller's new 

 book free as a premium for sending us Two New Subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal for one year with $2.00. This is a magnificent offer, and should 

 be taken advantage of at once. For many of our readers it is not only an 

 easy way to earn a copy of the book, but at the same time they will be 

 helping to extend the subscription list of the old Americati Bee Journal, 

 and thus aiding also in spreading the best kind of apicultural information 

 among those who would be successful bee-keepers.

"What Happened to Ted" 



BY ISABELLE HORTON. 



This is a true story of the poor and unfor- 

 tuiiate in city life. Miss Horton, the author, 

 is a deaconess whose experiences among the 

 city poverty stricken are both interesting and 

 sad. This particular short story — 60 pages, 

 5x6^ inches, bound in paper cover — gives 

 somewhat of an insight into a little of the 

 hard lot of the poor. Price, postpaid, only 10 

 cents (stamps or silver.) Address,
