VOL. XXXIV. CHICAGO, ILL, JULY 5, 1894. 



NO. L 



Foreign Bee-Papers are to be 



" extracted " and translated for the Beview 

 hereafter by Miss Katherine M. Inglis, of 

 Michigan, a niece of Hon. R. L. Taj^lor. 

 The first installment appeared in the June 

 issue of Bro. Hutchinson's paper, and is ex- 

 ceedingly readable. 



Rev. S. Roese, of Maiden Rock, Wis., 

 writes us that he had a second attack of 

 la grippe last winter, and besides a daugh- 

 ter was also sick all the winter. Verily, 

 misfortunes come not singly. Bro. Roese 

 has sent a short article on "Renewing 

 Brood-combs," which will appear soon. 



Xlie Practical ISee-Keeper, the 



new bee-paper in Canada, published by C. 

 A. Ouellette, was recently changed from a 

 quarterly to a monthly. Bro. Allen Prin- 

 gle, who so successfully superintended the 

 Ontario apiarian exhibit at the World's 

 Fair, last year, is one of the Practicara i-eg- 

 ular correspondents, as shown by the May 

 and June numbers. Bro. Pringle is a splen- 

 did writer, on bees or any other subject, 

 and we always read with much interest 

 what he has to say, even if we don't always 

 agree with his views on some matters out- 

 side of apiculture. 



Prof. Cook's Class in apiculture, 

 we are glad to learn, numbers 17. He wrote 

 us thus about it recently : 



I have a class of 17 in apiculture. How is 

 that ? Many of them handle bees already 

 like veterans (both gentlemen and ladies), 

 with no hat or gloves, with hands fuU of 

 bees. I shall m/ike some good bee-keepers 

 here. A. J. Cook. 



We think the Professor is meeting with 

 excellent success in getting such a large 

 class interested in handling bees, and learn- 

 ing about their useful habits. It will pay 

 young people to avail themselves of the 

 opportunity now afforded at Claremont, 

 Calif., to obtain apicultural knowledge. 

 Prof. Cook knows the " how " and '• why '' 

 about bees and several ether things. 



Bro. Holterinann's wife and four 

 bright children (two boys and two girls) 

 were all shown in the Vauadian Bee JouriMl 

 for June. What a happy looking family it 

 is! And how proud of them " ye editor " 

 of the Canadian must be ! Perhaps the fol- 

 lowing stanza, taken from the same num- 

 ber, explains the secret of Bro. Holter- 

 mann's apparent domestic felicity: 



"Eternal is the peace that dwells 

 Where Love's soft footsteps ever fall ; 



The heart and soul the story tell— 

 Love is the ruler over all." 



Fraiuc-Spacers.— Mr. J. W. Tefft, 

 of New York, has sent us samples of the 

 frames which he uses, on which are pro- 

 jections right at the four corners, which 

 serve as self -spacers. They are made by 

 leaving the endx of the end-bars and top and 

 bottom bars % inch wider, % inch from the 

 ends, and thus when nailed together they
