have extracted 100 pounds per colony, 

 with the supers full on the hives, ready 

 to extract. Sweet clover is good for 

 three weeks yet. I wish you could see 

 our pasturage now. The Island is as 

 white with clover as the paper I write 

 on. I have been successful in mating 

 every queen so far this season, having 

 four times the number of drones of any 

 year since I commenced. 



In looking across the lake I see the 

 appearance of a storm in the south — 

 may it reach us before morning and 

 cheer the thirsty ground !

Poor Season— The Sulphur Cure. 



This has been a very poor season for 

 honey. The drouth last fall and frost 

 in March killed nearly all the white 

 clover in this locality. I have 10 colo- 

 nies and have only taken off about 100 

 pounds of honey, and prospects for more 

 are not flattering, the weather being 

 very dry. 



I had two colonies that had the 

 " nameless bee-disease ;" I tried the sul- 

 phur cure that I saw in the Bee Jour- 

 nal, and am glad to say they are ail right 

 now. There is no sign of the disease 

 left. I could not think of keeping bees 

 and not take the "old reliable" Bee 

 Journal. N. W. Shultz.
