WHEN THE SPRING-TEME COMES. 



Behold the springless wire fence; how sprung! Alas! 

 for the hopes of the unhappy owner, what a Fall. Now 

 let the Winter of his discontent be made glorious 

 Summer through the continuous Spring of our 

 famous coil. Ponder these seasonable hints.

obtained laws compellmg adulterators to 

 call their stuff what it really is. 



What is the use to work faithfully for 

 years to create a home market for honest 

 home product, and at last be undermined 

 and undersold by a mixture of halt glucose 

 or more, sold for honey, to unsuspecting 

 purchasers ? 



I am not jealous of honest competitors, 

 and honest, straight goods — if such can un- 

 dersell me, well, I say, good for the con- 

 sumers, we all must live, and the buyers 

 are in the majority ; but fraudulent com- 

 petition is what riles me. 



Let us awake and do something I 



Utica, 111. A. MoTTAZ. 



[Yes, the sample of so-called " honey " 

 which Mr. Mottaz sent us was pretty vile 

 stuff. We pronounced it glucosed, at once. 

 What a pity that we have no good laws 

 that would help put the villainous adultera- 

 tors where they belong. With the best 

 glucose at one cent a pound, what won't 

 the criminally inclined do when they have 

 a chance ? Bee-keepers must arouse, united, 

 and then push for anti-adulteration laws. 

 Once having them (the laws), we'll soon 

 start the adulterators on the run. — Eu.J 



"Sure Remedy" for Rats. 



Mr. Allen Pringle seems to be troubled 

 with rats. The following is a sure remedy 

 for rats, pocket-gophers and chicken lice : 



Rats burrow under ground, conse- 

 quently they have generally a back door 

 and front door to their mansion. Close up 

 one of the doors, and saturate a piece of 

 cotton, or any other soft material, with 

 Fuma-Carbon-Bisulphide, and poke into 

 their hole, or holes, and then close them 

 up tight, and there will be no more trouble 

 with rats. 



I would recommend Mr. Pringle to write 

 to Edward R. Taylor, Chemical Manufac- 

 turer, Cleveland, Ohio, for his pamphlet on 

 the various uses of Fuma-Carbon-Bisul- 

 phide, which also gives prices of same.

Working on Soft Maple and Elm. 



My bees are in splendid condition, and 

 working on soft maple and elm. I put 12 

 colonies and one nucleus into the cellar last 

 fall, and took cut U colonies, good and 

 strong, and one weak colony, and lost the 

 nucleus. The weak colony was one of the 

 so-called goldens. I sent to Texas and got 

 three warrented golden queens in ISfli, but 

 I am not satisfied, as they are not the bees 

 for this country, for they can't stand the 

 winters here; and they are not prolific 

 enough, as there was none of the three 

 queens that had over four frames of brood 

 at one time. So give me the leather-col- 

 ored bees for all purposes. 



One of my neighbors has three colonies 

 of bees that I will transfer this spring. 

 They are in boxes 36x18, and 14 inches 

 deep. " Boxes " is what I call them, but 

 there was some fellow that sold them as 

 " patent hives." Jno. H. Rupp.

Bulletin No. 1— "The Honey-Bee." 



In regard to the Bulletin No. 1 on " The 

 Honey-Bee," issued by the Agricultural 

 Department, I wish to say there is no rea- 

 son why all bee-keepers should not receive 

 the same consideration from their congress- 

 men that we do from ours (Lucien Baker). 

 It is only a matter of writing to them. Or 

 why not have a list of bee-keepers and 

 others interested in the pursuit forwarded 

 by the different State societies ? This is a 

 chance in a thousand, to bring our industry 

 before the Congress (and the world), then 

 why not increase the demand for this Bul- 

 letin to such an extent that another edi- 

 tion wiU be necessary ? When such an 

 edition is asked for, it will be necessary to
