 edge of village, and planted to all kinds of fruit; 

 about 40 trees are now bearing. Beeyard is en-

 side witli grapevines, currants, gooseberries, and 

 blackberries. Frame shop and honey-house 1% 

 story ; 65-barrel cistern ; corncrib ; chicken and hog 

 yards ; every thing one needs but dwelling house. 

 This would be a fine location for a queen-breeder — 

 not over a dozen colonies of bees within 1 % miles 

 of the yard. No disease, and have never had any. 

 The bees are all in good shape ; hives as good as 

 new; combs built on Hoffman frames; wired foun- 

 dation, except possibly 100 frames. I spent $500 

 in fitting up my yard, not counting my labor. Land 

 sells here from $200 to $400 per acre. I am nine 

 miles below Zanesville, on the Muskingum River, 

 overflowing creek and river bottoms west, south, 

 and east of me. The location is No. 1 ; I have had 

 but one failure in 21 years that I have kept bees; 

 good market for honey near. My crop is sold, and 

 not all off yet, at $3.75 per case. Any one buying 

 the property will get good hive-stands, what winter 

 cases I have, shade-boards, cushions, etc. I will 

 take $1000 for ground and bees, and a low price 

 for extras, or will sell the bees, to be moved, for 

 $500. J. F. Truesdell, Duncan's Palls, Ohio.

Bro. Beekeepers of Indiana: — By persistent and 

 organized effort we have a fairlv satisfactory bee- 

 inspection law for Indiana, and a small appropria- 

 tion to carry out its provisions. 



This law has been fairly well enforced, and has 

 done much by education to stop the ravages of 

 foul brood. Various efforts have been made to 

 take even this small appropriation away from us. 

 and there will be a much stronger one made with 

 the coming legislature. The beekeepers of Indiana 

 can not afford to take a single step backward now, 

 and I would urge that every beekeeper in the 

 State enroll himself with the Indiana branch at 

 least, and endeavor by all possible means to re- 

 tain our present laws. 



I should like to get in touch with every bee- 

 keeper in the State, and I would take it as a 

 personal favor if you would send me your own 

 name and address, and that of your beekeeping 

 friends and neighbors. 



Geo. W. Williams, 

 Sec. Indiana Branch, N. B. A. 



Redky, Ind., Sept. 15.
