St. .Toi^epli, ^lo., is the place of 

 the convention.

dates of the convention. 



Xlie C\ B. & <|. (Chicago, Burlington 

 & Quincy) railroad is the best line to take 

 to the North American convention which 

 meets at St. Joseph, Mo., on Oct. 10th, 11th 

 and 12th. Don't forget it. It's the " C. B. 

 & Q." — often spoken of as the " Cheapest, 

 Best, and Quickest." More particulars 

 next week. 



Pomona. Collegfe, located at Clare- 

 mont, Calif., received a whole page " write 

 up " by Prof. Cook, in last Gleaidn.gs. After 

 reading it, we felt just like packing up our 

 few belongings, and starting for that glori- 

 ous school. But then, it's pretty late in 

 life for us to think of taking a college 

 course, so we'll have to give it up. How- 

 ever, we're very glad to know that Prof. 

 Cook is working in such a grand institu- 

 tion. Better write him for catalogue and 

 circulars of the college, if you have any 

 young folks who ought to get into a good 

 and safe school. 



Reporting- Conventions is a mat- 

 ter that Dr. Miller very properly touches 

 on in his comments on page 311 of this 

 number of the Bee Journal. As usual, he 

 has the right idea of the thing. While we 

 are always glad to publish convention re- 

 ports, we have often thought that such re- 

 ports could be given in much more con- 

 densed form, and thus be of greater inter- 

 est to all the readers of the Bee Journal. 



We hope that Secretaries will take Dr. 

 Miller's suggestions in the same kindly 

 spirit they are offered, and profit by them. 

 Let us have only the practical "bee-talk" 

 of conventions for publication. Why not 

 have a little rivalry among secretaries 

 hereafter, and see who will give the best, 

 practical report ? When Dr. Miller finds 

 one in the Bee Journal that he can com- 

 mend as a model, no doubt he will men- 

 tion it. 



Mrs. Atcliley reported on Aug. 24th, 

 that at Beeville, Tex., they had a rain 

 which assured a fall crop of honey there. 

 We wish that other parts of the country 

 could be similarly favored. It has been a 

 very dry season in this part of the country, 

 as well as in many other localities. 



•f . A. Golden, of Reinersville, Ohio, 

 has sent to us a number of fine photo- 

 graphs representing various implements 

 and things in the apicultural line. We wish 

 to thank the generous sender, and assure 

 him that they are much appreciated by 

 " ye editor." 



Uro. Ernest Root, finding that he 

 could remain away rom Medina longer 

 than at first contemplated, stopped with us
