PmsoMML Mestiom. 



Mr. Harry Lathrop, of Browntown, 

 Wis., reports, in a recent issue of Glean- 

 ings, a pleasant visit among bee-keepers in 

 the basswood region of southern Wisconsin. 

 He refers to visiting a web-footed commu- 

 nity in a place called Goose Creek, where a 

 preacher by the name of Gander used to 

 preach to the families of Drakes and Gos- 

 lins. Quack! Quack! 



Mr. H. M. Orr, of California, has been in 

 Chicago recently, having brought a carload 

 of honey with him. Mr. Orr is one of the 

 few bee-supply dealers and manufacturers 

 on the Pacific Coast. He is also interested 

 in the fruit packing and shipping business. 

 It he is a fair sample of tbe California bee- 

 keepers, they are a pushing, wide-awake 

 kind of people, with whom it is a pleasure 

 to meet. 



Mr. S. J. Baldwin, of England, who has 

 been spending the past few months in the 

 United States, expected to sail for home 

 Jan. 4. He reports that his health has 

 greatly improved by his visit in this coun- 

 try, and that he feels better and happier 

 than when he left his home, last September. 

 He was able to " take in " the Atlanta Ex- 

 position, though not so fortunate as to be 

 present at the recent International Bee- 

 Keepers' Congress that was held there. 



Miss Mathilda Candler, of Cassville, 

 Wis., made us a very pleasant call lately. 

 She is a succeesful bee-keeper of about six 

 years' experience, having bad some SO colo- 

 nies the past year, but reduced them in the 

 fall to 54. Her average per colony, in 1894, 

 was about 1'20 pounds of comb honey, and 

 in ISitS abouteo. Miss Candler is spending 

 a, few months in Chicago studying, this 

 winter, and iu the spring will return to her 

 bees and again take up the work with them 

 for another season. 



Mrs. W. E. Clark, of Bloomington, 

 Calit., is, what Rambler says in Gleanings, 

 •one of these quiet effective workers" 

 they have out near the Golden Gate. She 

 manages the apiary until tbe honey is ready 

 to case, when Mr. Clark is called on to " ex- 

 ercise his lifting talent." ■■ From 80 colo- 

 nies, spring count, which have been in- 

 creased to 120, Mrs. Clark extracted a car- 

 load, or nearly 12 tons of honey" the past 

 season. Surely, Mr. Clark should appreci- 

 ate such a " sweet " wife ! 



"A Poor Excuse is better than none," 

 'tis often said. But the latest is given in 

 Gleanings, where Editor Root says he is 

 requested "to say, that, owing to a bronchial 

 trouble, caused largely by the • breathing 

 in of the odor of the bees, and their poi- 

 son,' " the publisher of a periodical that 

 was to improve our degenerated bee-litera- 

 ture, •• has been obliged to suspend the pub- 

 lication of his paper." One of our corre- 

 spondents, in referring to this in a private 

 letter, wrote thus: 



■•Alas for the elevation of bee-literature! 

 He must have been wintering his bees 

 under his oflice, and the fumes of poison 

 came up so strongly that it strangled the 

 poor little paper!" 



Concerning the departed so-called bee- 

 paper. Father Langstroth has been re- 

 ported to have said this, when attending 

 the Toronto convention last September: 

 '• It contains more vigor, force and Inilh 

 than all the other journals." If he uttered 

 those words, all we can say is, that it is the 

 unlij thing so far reported since that con- 

 vention that leads us to think he was again 

 suffering from a very severe attack o£ his 

 old ••head-trouble" at that time. We 

 don't believe Father L. had been physically 

 or mentally able to read the bee-papers 

 sufficiently close the past two years, to be a 

 competent judge in the matter. Surely his 

 quoted sentence proves this.
