Outlook Good for 1896. 



We had a good honey crop in 189.5, and 

 the outlook is now good for 1890. We are 

 in the centre here of oceans of sweet clover 

 — the saving clause for honey-producers as 

 long as the present drouthy conditions ex- 

 ist in this part of Illinois.

Look for a Good Honey Crop. 



I consider the Bee Journal worth 10 times 

 the price to any enterprising bee-keeper. 

 Bees are gathering pollen now with a great 

 rush. We are looking for a good honey 

 crop, as everything seems right for it.

A California Report for 1895. 



From my 72 colonies, spring count, I se- 

 cured ti,.')00 pounds of fine section honey 

 and 400 pounds of extracted. I held back 

 all but 10 swarms, and sold 9 of them at 

 once. I sold 6,40(1 pounds of comb honey at 

 10 cents, and got this price because I took 

 extra pains in casing up as well as getting 

 it from the hives as soon as completed, to 

 avoid travel-stain. G. K. Hubbard.

An Engineer Bee-Keeper. 



I like the Bee Journal very much, and 

 have derived a great amount of informa- 

 tion from its columns. I have kept bees 

 for only one year, and keep them for pleas- 

 ure and profit combined. I am employed 

 by the railroad company as an engineer, 

 and just devote my spare time to the bees. 

 From 5 colonies in the spring they in- 

 creased to 9, and gave me 300 pounds of 

 surplus honey. It was a poor season on 

 account of the dry weather.

Antitoxine— Electrical Bays. 



I always rejoice in concurring with all 

 practical means for the relief or cure of 

 human ailments, but the public is now and 

 then led to hope in methods or appliances 

 not yet established by that only true guage 

 of success— Experience. Heuce, I advise 

 no serious expectation from the use of the 

 now vaunted -'Antitoxine" that is being 

 urged as the great remedy for all infectious 

 and mortal diseases, recognizing the fact 

 that, so far, its failures have more than 

 kept pace with reported success. 



Nor need you. as yet, go into ecstasy- 

 over the recent electrical rays and vibra- 

 tors that are expected to revolutionize all 

 treatments. I will hail their success— when 

 it comes. DR- Peiro.

Southern East Tennessee Convention. 



The Southern East Tennessee Bee-Keep- 

 ers' Association held its special session at 

 Cookson's Creek, Jan. 11, with Pres. M. T. 

 Fonts in the chair. Owing to inclemency 

 of weather the meeting was lightly attend- 

 ed. After the usual routine of business, 

 the membership proceeded to make their 

 189-5 report, which showed an average in- 

 crease of 90 per cent., the average surplus 

 per colony, spring count, '24 pounds, highest 

 73 pounds, lowest 10 pounds. All agreed 

 that the heavy rains during our main 

 honey-flow detracted much from surplus 

 reports. 



I had been conducting an experiment to 

 ascertain the amount of stores necessary 

 for wintering in this locality, which shows 

 for the 45 days ending Jan. 11, 1890, in my 

 apiary there was an average consumption
