A Couveution Rliyine has come to 

 us just in time for the North American 

 meeting this week. Here it is : 



Another year has passed away 



Since we each other met — 

 A year of changes to us all — 



But we are happy yet. 



Though many friends have Homeward gone, 

 Have ceased this earthly strife — 



Still we rejoice that we are blest 

 With health and peaceful life. 



O may the future ever hold 



For all abundant store ; 

 And may we often meet again — 



At last, to part no more ! 



Xlie Progressive Bee-Keeper 



will " fill out the unexpired subscriptions of 

 iSuccess ill Jiee-Culture," which expired re- 

 cently, as it proved to be a " success " only 



4]}riins1ia,\v^s "Apifuge," which 

 is still used in England to prevent stings 

 and bites of insects, doesn't suit the Cana- 

 dians very well. Bro. Holtermann says that 

 " careful manipulation, a good strain of 

 bees, straight combs, and properly made 

 hives, will do much to prevent stings from 

 bees." 



Father I^aiiig'strotli was visited re- 

 cently by Bro. A. I. Root, who '' was re- 

 joiced to find him feeling so well." Bro. 

 Root says that Mrs. Cowan — Father L.'s 

 daughter — with whom he lives, "has a 

 beautiful family of seven children — four 

 boys and three girls." Also, that "the 

 father of this little flock was called away 

 some two years ago, and now the charge— 

 at least the greater part of it — of looking 

 after the seven children and the aged 

 father, falls on Mrs. Cowan;" and that he 

 " never saw a more beautiful household." 

 Surely, all who read this will be delighted 

 to hear these good things about Mrs. Cowan 

 and Father Langstroth. 



** I5ee-I«eepiiig- in Ontario, and 



Its Development," was clearly explained 

 and fully illustrated in the Toronto, Out., 

 Glube recently. We are inclined to think 

 that Editor Holtermann had a hand in it 

 all, and we don't blame him a bit, for it's 

 well done, and should help to advertise the 

 bee-business wonderfully in Canada. If 

 more of such work were done, we believe it 

 would aid greatly in creating a more gen- 

 eral demand for honey. 



Why Not l>o It?— Brother Leahy 

 of the Progressive Bee-Keeper, suggests that 

 those who are so fortunate as to possess 

 "Heaven's best blessing"— a wife— bring 

 them along to the convention at St. Joseph 

 this week. Certainly, it's just the thing to 

 do, if you possibly can arrange it. We 

 haven't forgotten the. splendid attendance 

 of comely women at the Columbian meet- 

 ing, and should be pleased to see as many, 

 or more, at St. Joseph.
