Bee-Keepers' I*liotog'i-sipli. — We 



have now on band a limited number of ex- 

 cellent photographs of prominent bee-keep- 

 ers — a number of pictures on one card. The 

 likeness of 40 of them are shown on one of 

 the photographs, and 131 on the other. We 

 will send them, postpaid, for .50 cents each, 

 mailing from the 131 kind Brst; then after 

 they are all gone, we will send the 49 kind. 

 So those who order first will get the most 

 " faces '■ for their money. 



Geo. W. Bkodbeck and W, W. Bliss, of 

 California, secured medals on honey at the 

 Atlanta Exposition. So Rambler reported 

 in Gleanings. 



Prof. Cook, as well as many other Cali- 

 fornia bee-keepers, are expecting a good 

 deal from their new Honey Exchange. May 

 their fondest hopes be realized 



Hon. Geo. E. Hilton— the leading bee- 

 keeping legislator — of Fremont. Mich., has 

 been visiting the " Home of the Honey- 

 Bees." It's about time he came to Chicago 

 again. 



Messr.s. R. and E. C. Porter, of this 

 State, have made a bee-escape "for freeing 

 honey and extracting rooms, house-api- 

 aries, etc.. from bees." We expect to illus- 

 trate and describe it next week. 



Mr. H. R. Boardman, of East Townsend. 

 Ohio, has been talking at Farmers' Insti- 

 tutes lately. One of his interesting ad- 

 dresses was given in Gleanings. He begins 

 just right — at the ground. 



Skylark is a new contributor to Glean- 

 ings. He's a high-flier, as his name indi- 

 cates. Oh, but don't he "let fly" "right 

 from the shoulder!" If Somnambulist, of 

 the Progressive, catches him out some fine 

 night, he'll wish he was skylarking around 

 somewhere else. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater, of Columbus. Nebr., 

 wrote thus kindly on Jan. 17: "We feel 

 quite proud of our • Old Reliable ' in her 

 new dress and still newer trimmings. The 

 season, so far. has been very mild in this 

 section, our bees having a good flight every 

 week or ten days." 



Mr. Ernest R. Root, the able editor of 

 Gleanings in Bee-Culture, made the Bee 

 Journal, and Chicago in general, a short 

 visit during the recent Chicago bee-conven- 

 tion. He also spent a day or two with Dr. 

 Miller, at Marengo. We are always very 

 glad to meet our fellow bee-editors, and 

 none more so than Mr. Root. 



James Mills. M. A., L.L.D., isthepopular 

 president of the Ontario Agricultural Col- 

 lege, at Guelph. Out, A splendid likeness 

 of him appeared in the Canadian Bee Jour- 

 nal for December. We had the pleasure of 

 meeting him at Toronto last September. 

 He's the leading Methodist layman of 

 Canada, we hear. Good man in a good 

 place. Good for him ! 



Mrs. L. Harrison, of Peoria, 111., has 

 gone for the winter, as usual, to St. An- 

 drews Bay. Fla. How nice it is to be able 

 to " go South." like the birds, to escape the 

 rigorous cold of the North. We trust our 

 sister may have a pleasant time amid the 

 perfume -laden flowers, merry - warbling 

 songsters, and busy-humming bees of the 

 Sunny Southland. 



Editor Hutchinson, in a letter received 

 Jan. 23, says that his " own health is now 

 pretty good." It will be remembered that 

 last summer he suffered a good deal from 

 rheumatism, so much so that be feared he 

 would not be able to go to the Toronto con- 

 vention in September. Mr. H.'s daughter. 

 Ivy. who also has been sick the past two or 

 three months, is slowly improving, we are 

 glad to learn. 



Mr. J. B. Hall's Picture graces the first 

 page of the January Canadian Bee Journal. 

 He is the honored President of the Ontario 

 Association, and the comb-honey chieftain 

 of Canadian beedom. Too bad he's such a 

 modest man everywhere except in a bee- 

 convention. Wonder if we couldn't smug- 



gle him over here occasionally, and " set 

 him going " at some of our conventions. I 

 think he's the man that could very seldom 

 truthfully say " I don't know," when asked 

 a bee-question. 



Rev. Adam Bland — the husband of Mrs. 

 Ellen C. Bland, a bee-keeper and Bee Jour- 

 nal subscriber in California— died in Octo- 

 ber. 1895. He was one of the pioneer Meth- 

 odist preachers in that State, and did most 

 efficient work in the southern part. We 

 are acquainted with one of the sons (R. W. 

 Bland), who is now preaching in Joliet, 

 111., but who filled very acceptably prcmi- 

 nent Methodist pulpits for several years in 

 and about Chicago.

The Successful Incubator, manufactured by 

 the Des Moines Incubator Co.. of Des 

 Moines. Iowa, in competition with some of 

 the leading incubators of the country at a 

 Kansas City Show, recently won first hon- 

 ors. This is indeed a great victory for the 

 Successful Incubator, and it looks very 

 much as if some pretty close competition 

 for honors will be the result of the exhibits 

 at the shows that are to be held at other 

 places. The Des Moines Incubator Co. have 

 recently issued their annual book— a com- 

 plete treatise on poultry— and will be sent 

 to any one for 10 cents in stamps.
