— The Executive Committee have decided 

 upon the following : 



In order to let all bee-keepers who can, 

 take advantage of the " Harvest Excur- 

 sion " rates which will be given on October 

 9th, we have concluded to change the date 

 of the meeting of the North American Bee- 

 Keepers' Association to <)ctol>er lOtli, 

 lltli and IStli. The rate will be }.. 

 fare plus $2.00. These rates apply east oi' 

 the Missouri River only. Ask your railroad 

 agent about them. 



Special rates of 1}:/ fare will no doubt be 

 secured in the territory covered by the 

 "Western Passenger Association. These will 

 be announced later, if secured.

St. Joseph, Mo., Aug. 25, 1894. 



1^^ Agricultural papers will please call 

 attention to the change of date. 



Xlie Fatliers have this week some- 

 thing good to read in the department called 

 "Our Doctor's Hints," on page 267. Be 

 sure to read it, and heed it, fathers, for it 

 will pay you. Dr. Peiro is a man of ex- 

 tended experience, and knows what he is 

 talking about whenever he says anything 

 in his department. We wish that his hints 

 to mothers last week, and to fathers this 

 week, could be read by all the parents in 

 the land. It would no doubt be a grand, 

 good thing. 



JProf. Coolc informs us that it will be 

 impossible for him to be at the St. Joseph 

 meeting of the North American, in October. 

 It comes during term time at the Pomona 

 College, and the Professor says he cannot 

 then get away. That's just as we expected, 

 when we heard he was going to reside 

 permanently in California! We fear his 

 Eastern friends will never see him again, 

 unless they should some time go to Clare- 

 mont. 



It seems to us that the California State 

 Bee-Keepers' Association might select him 

 as a delegate, furnish the financial means 

 to go, and then order him to attend the 

 North American meeting. As Prof. Cook 

 is the President of their association, we'll 

 bet a " Cook-y " he'd find some way to 

 leave his college work for two weeks ! Why 

 not do it, Californians ? It would help 

 your State greatly. 



1:^ Whatever requires doing about the 

 apiary, should be done at once. If left for 

 another day, an important matter is liable 

 to be forgotten when many other things re- 

 quire attention, and considerable loss en- 

 sues- -Sunmiih';. 



CBro. Ernest R. Root, as w^e men- 

 tioned last week, reached our office on 

 Wednesday, Aug. 22nd. He had been on a 

 bicycle trip mainly for his health, through 

 southern Michigan and northern Illinois. 

 On account of the hard wheeling in the 

 Michigan sand, he had been delayed — so 

 much so that he could stop at the Bee 

 Journal office only a few hours. This we 

 regretted very much, as we had counted on 

 having a longer vi9it with our brother edi- 

 tor. But you may believe we improved
