A THOUGHT 

 THAT KILLED 

 A MAN! 



He thought that he could trifle with 

 disease. He was run down in health, 

 felt tired and worn out, complained of 

 dizziness, biliousness, backaches and 

 headaches. His liver and kidneys were 

 out of order. He thought to get well by 

 dosing himself with cheap pills. And 

 then came the ending. He fell a victim 

 to Bright's disease ! The money he 

 ought to have invested in a safe, reliable 

 remedy went for a tombstone. The 

 thought that killed this man 



HAS KILLED OTHERS. 



statistics show that 90 per cent, of 

 the deaths from pneumonia, Bright's 

 disease and similar complaints are 

 caused from derangements of the liver 

 and kidneys. These great organs keep 

 the blood pure and in healthful motion. 

 When they get out of order the blood 

 becomes poisoned, the circulation im- 

 peded and the whole system speedily 

 breaks down. It is 



A DANGEROUS IDEA 



to imagine that pills can strike at the 

 root of these diseases. It has been thor- 

 oughly proved that such remedies are 

 worse than useless. There is only one 

 remedy which can always be depended 

 upon. This remedy alone can act on 

 the liver and kidneys when they are out 

 'Of order, clear out the system and build 

 up the health. The name of this remedy 

 is Warner's Safe Cure. It is the only 

 standard remedy in the world for kid- 

 ney and liver complaints. It is the only 

 remedy which physicians universally 

 prescribe. It is the only remedy that is 

 backed by the testimony of thousands 

 wUom it has relieved and cured. 



There is nothing else that can take its 

 place.

Doubling Up Colonies. 



ttnery 4.— Do you make apractlceof doub- 

 ling up colonies at other times than fall? If 

 BO, why ?— Mich. 



Jas. A. Stone — No. 



G. M. Doolittle— No. 



Prof. A. J. Cook— No. 



P. H. El wood — Yes, in the spring. 



Rev. E. T. Abbott— No ; not at any 

 time. 



W. R. Graham — Sometimes, when I 

 think it best. 



Dr. C. C. Miller — I rarely double, 

 spring or fall. 



Rev. M. Mahin — I do not. I build up 

 weak colonies in the spring. 



J. A. Green — Not often. In fact, I 

 seldom double up colonies at any time. 



R. L. Taylor — Xot except occasionally 

 just at the opening of the honey season. 



H. D. Cutting— At swarming time I 

 sometimes put twoor three small swarms 

 together. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — No, never; un- 

 less they are absolutely worthless and 

 queenless. 



B. Taylor — I double colonies all 

 through the working season, as circum- 

 stances demand. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater — No, sir. I some- 

 times strengthen weak colonies with 

 brood from stronger ones. 



W. G. Larrabee — Yes, I unite weak 

 colonies in the spring that would be 

 worthless as they are, to make one strong 

 colony. 



Allen Pringle — I do the doubling up 

 whenever the reasons for doubling up 

 are present, no matter what time of 

 year it is. 



E. France — We never practice doub- 

 ling up colonies in the fall. If two colo- 

 nies have only honey for one, kill one, 

 and feed their honey to the other. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — I do when neces- 

 sary. "Why?" They may be weak 

 nuclei — might swarm out. I don't want 

 them to amuse themselves in this sort of 

 fashion. 



J. M. Hambaugh — While in Illinois I 

 sometimes united weak colonies in the 

 spring, in order to have populous colo- 

 nies at the commencement of the honey 

 harvest. 



G. W. Deniaree — It is sometimes profit- 

 able to put two colonies together in the 

 spring if both can't be gotten ready for 

 the early honey harvest. But I do not 

 practice it much. 



C. H. Dibbern — Yes, when I find a col- 

 ony that is " petering out " when others 

 are doing well, I destroy the queen and 

 chuck in the first swarm that issues, or 

 double up with some other colony. 



J. E. Pond — Sometimes. I try, and 

 intend to have all colonies in the fall 

 that have satisfactory queens, strong 

 enough to go through the winter. If 

 there were bees enough to fairly cover 

 three Langstroth frames, I should con- 

 sider such a colony strong enough to go 



through an ordinary winter. Given, a 

 poor queen and two small colonies, I 

 should unite. 



Eugene Secor — No, except occasion- 

 ally at swarming-time. I do that to 

 keep the number of my colonies within 

 control. Isn't the swarming season the 

 best time to double-up colonies, anyway? 



Mrs. L. Harrison — No, I do not, but I 

 think a much greater yield of surplus 

 honey could be obtained by taking brood 

 from the weaker and giving to the 

 stronger, in time for them to be on the 

 boom for a honey-flow.
