OLD-STYLE EXTRACTORS.

 t'ain prices because they are not of our latest pat- 

 tern. They do not have ball-bearings, die-molded 

 gears, nor the slip-gear device. Otherwise they are 

 new machines which sold for much higher prices 

 than we ask for them now to close out. They are 

 located at different branch offices, and are offered 

 at the prices named for shipment direct from the 

 office where they are now stored.

SPECIAL NOTICES 



A. I. Root 



MR. HENRY WOODWORTH, JR., OP CHEBOYGAN, 

 MICH., AND HIS BUTTERCUP CHICKENS. 



The above person had an advertisement in our 

 journal for April 15, May 1 and 15, and June 1; 

 and he not only has failed to give satisfaction, but 

 refuses to answer letters from his customers after 

 he has received their money. We have wi-itten him 

 repeatedly, but can get no reply whatever. _ Now, 

 if any of our readers have lost money by this indi- 

 vidual, we should be glad to hear from such ; and if 

 any of you have had satisfactory deal with him we 

 should be glad to know that also. 



PARCELS POST AT HOME, AS WELL AS PARCELS POST 

 ABROAD. 



With all the clamor about parcels post of late, I 

 have not seen a word about giving the United 

 States as good a chance as we give to almost all 

 foreign nations. What is the reason we can not 

 send packages to the next town as cheaply as we 

 send them to Europe, Asia, or Africa? With the 

 "Zone" and other schemes it is very evident that 

 the express companies are continually getting a 

 finger in the pie, and handicapping any thing that 

 threatens to cut down their profits. Are the ex- 

 press companies really running things, or is it 

 the working people, who are endeavoring to make 

 a short cut between producer and consumer ? 



WOMAN SUFFRAGE, ETC. 



Mrs. Root very seldom dictates or even suggests 

 what I ought to say to the people. Of course, 

 she sometimes rules out what I might say if it were 

 not for her gentle protest. But she has just said 

 that she was surprised that I had so little to say 

 in regard to letting the mothers of our land, as 

 well as other good women, have a voice in fram- 

 ing and enforcing our laws. By all means let the 

 women vote ; ancl after they get to voting I feel 

 quite sure that Professor Thorne, of our Ohio Ex- 

 periment Station, will not be obliged to admit that 

 two-thirds if not four-fifths of the voters, are users 

 of tobacco. I am sure the mothers will set a good 

 example before their boys, even if the fathers do 

 not always do sO'. 



Convention Notices. 



A beekeepers' meeting and picnic will be held 

 Saturday, Sept. 7, at the home of A. F. Foster, 21st 

 and Arapahoe Streets, Boulder, Colo. Every one 

 interested in bees in Northern Colorado is invited. 

 Come and get acquainted, and hear some of the 

 best beekeepers in the country tell of their methods. 

 Morning and afternoon sessions. Picnic lunch. 



Several of the largest honey-producers of the 

 State have arranged to club together and put up a 

 mammoth exhibit of honey and bees in the name of 

 the Kansas State Beekeepers' Association at Hutch- 

 inson, Sept. 14 — 21. On account of its central 

 location it is planned to make this a sort of head- 

 quarters for honey exhibitors. Any one desiring 

 space should address Mr. J. J. Measer, Sup't Apiary 

 Department, Hutchinson, Kan. 



Topeka, Kan. O. A. Keene, Sec. 



The Kansas beekeepers will hold a meeting at 

 Hutchinson, on Thursday, Sept. 19. Mr. 0. P. 

 Dadant will deliver an address on bees. It is 

 liardly necessary to remind beekeepers that Mr. 

 Dadant is one of the greatest authorities on bees 

 that we have. This meeting will be held during 

 the State Fair there, and all beekeepers are urged 

 to attend. Tliis is not the regular annual meeting 

 of the Kansas State Beekeepers' Association. That 

 will be held in Topeka about Jan. 15. 



Topeka, Kan., Aug. 18. O. A. Keene, Sec.
