THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL.

he will kindly assist us la removing the cause, 

 we will try not to let the mistake occuragain. 



Will some brother tell us why, with the 

 present price of honey, both comb and ex- 

 tracted, certain manufacturers see cause to 

 advance the price of bee-supplies to the ex- 

 tent they have? I am a consumer of their 

 goods, and find them of excellent quality, but 

 when No. 2 sections at the factory get to be 

 worth .S4,50, and No. 1$5.00, and there is al- 

 ways more or less waste of sections, it puts 

 the consumer of bee-supplies to thinking.

An Appreciative Reader. 



The instructions in the American Bee Jour- 

 nal are of great value to me. I take great in- 

 terest in bees. I have made them a study 

 and my business. I commenced to study 

 about bees, and the work of obtaining the 

 best possible results from them, when quite 

 young. 



When but 10 years of age my parents had 

 bees, and I would often have to help with 

 them; ever since then I have had bees and 

 always loved to work with them, but I never 

 had any literature on the subject, so, when I 

 came across the American Bee Journal, I was 

 determined to have it, and would recommend 

 it to each and every one interested in bees. 

 After reading it a year, and also Prof. Cook's 

 "Manual,'' I have learned to make beekeep- 

 ing a money-making business, to say nothing 

 about the great pleasure obtained from the 

 work. 



1 wish to express my thanks to each and 

 every one connected with the American Bee 

 Journal, for the information given to the lov- 

 ers of bees; and also to "Our Bee-Keeping 

 Sisters," for the good artielesthey furnish the 

 Journal. They, with all our writers and lov- 

 ers of bees, have my best wishes for success in 

 the work. A. G. Erickson.

Cutting Foundation with Electric 

 Wire. 



Did any of the brethren ever try to cut 

 super foundation by electricity? Imean with 

 a. wire-imbedding outfit. Tie a No. 30 tinned 

 wire between two prongs; pile up the founda- 

 tion from 2 to 20, or even 30, sheets in a pile; 

 now switch on the current and saw the heated 

 wire through the foundation. Of course, it is 

 best to use a box with saw-kerfs the right dis- 

 tance apart for the wire to follow through the 

 wax. It is true this way has its drawback, 

 but I think it as good as any.

Jeffersonian Simplicity. — Tbos. JeflTirson, 

 third president of these United States, was 

 skeptical of the science of medicine, believing 

 in permittinir nature to re-establish order in the 

 system when anv function was deranj; ed, and 

 discussed the subiect trequently, with the same 

 interest and earnestness that he did theology 

 and politics, 



" I be ieve," he said, " that there are certain 

 substances b> which, applied to the 1 viog 

 body, either internally or externally or b.ah, 

 nature can be assisted, and by such assistance 

 accomplish in a short time what nature other- 

 wise would do slowly." 



The Vita; Ore remedy, with which the read- 

 ers of this publication are largely familiar, is 

 offered by its discoverer and proprietors as an 

 aid to nature, to assist in the isatural healing 

 and recuperating processes. It is itself a prod- 

 uit of nature, a geo cgical discovery, mined 

 from the ground as are gold and silver, differ- 

 ent from anything whit h has ever been (iffered 

 of a remedial character, and as such should 

 commend itself to even those most prejudiced 

 against the use of advertised treatments. It 

 contains in its corapo ition free iron, sulphur 

 and magnesium, elements ideally calculated, 

 to, as Jefferson says, 'assist nature" The 

 fair add liberal offer to send one month's treat- 

 ment on trial, made in these columns by the 

 proprietors (Theo. Noel Ci ..Chicago,) is cer- 

 tainly most deser
