Ig-norant Men were acknowledged 

 by all at a recent bee-convention, to be the 

 bees' worst enemies. Education would 

 cure that. 



'»Xlie Gioocl I>ie Young:," was 



very appropriately quoted in the obituary 

 notice of Success in Bec-Culhire, which died 

 of "starvation" recently. Starved for 

 want of support. 



*» JRxpenses are sometimes profitable- 

 saving is sometimes extravagance." This 

 is another of Bro. Hutchinson's epigram- 

 matic sayings, given in the July Bevieiv. He 

 has been guilty of such things several times 

 lately. But seeing it i.s short and so full of 

 truth, we'll have to forgive him again. 



Editor S^tili^ou, in the August Xe- 

 hraska Bee-Keeper, urges everybody in that 

 region to go to the State bee-convention 

 at Lincoln, on Sept. 11th to 13th, so as to 

 "get enthusiasm to want to attend the 

 North American at St. Joseph." on Oct. 

 16th to ISth. That's right, Bro. S. We 

 must surprise President Abbott with such 

 whopping swarms (of bee-keepers) as he 

 never dreamed of during his worst attacks 

 of nightmare ! 



Editor Nolterinann and family of 

 five were all shown on one page of Gleaninga 

 for July 1.5th. Now Bro. Holtermann, and 

 also Dr. Miller, want Editor Root to pre- 

 sent in GJeaidugs his family, and that of the 

 Associate Editor (Ernest R.) and his family, 

 for, as Bro. Root said, '' When we know a 

 man so well, it is always interesting to 

 know how the members of his family look." 

 Gracious, but won't that be an illustrated 

 number of Gleanings, if all the Roots and 

 Root-lets are in it ? Dr. Miller suggests : 

 " If you can't get theui on one page, take 

 three pages." We would say, put only one 

 on a page, even if a dozen or two extra 

 pages would have to be added. Each suc- 

 ceeding page will then have upon it a 

 glad surprise, well and handsomely Root-ed! 



Nomniinilttilist, in the August Pro- 

 gressive Bce-Keeper, gives our new department 

 --" Our Doctor's Hints" — an exceedingly 

 kindly and generous notice, and also copies 

 some of Dr. Peiro's excellent hints. Thank 

 you, Bro. Sommy. You certainly have 

 shown very clearly that you know a good 

 thing even if you see it in your sleep. 



Dr. Peiro suggests that Somnambulist is 

 pretty wide awake. Dr. P. extends a fra- 

 ternal Missouri shake ! 



l%ot a *' Sockless Jerry."— Here 

 is one of Dr. Miller's "libelous" "straws,"' 

 which appeared in Qleemings for Aug. 1st: 



A libelous editorial in the American Bee 

 Journal gives the whole of my wearing 

 apparel as " hat. shirt, overalls, shoes." 

 Notwithstanding the honey crop, I still 

 luxuriate in stockings. 



Then Bro. Root helped to make the straw 

 still more libelous, by adding: "Perhaps
