Address, G. F., care Am. Bee Journal, 

 118 Michigan Street, - CHICAGO, ILL. 



Mr. R. F. Holtermann, editor of the 

 Canadian Bee Journal, recently gave an 

 address on " Bee-Keeping," before the Ag- 

 ricultural Committee, in the House of Com- 

 mons, at Ottawa, Canada. 



Mr. Chas. Mondeng, who is a bee-keeper 

 as well a sa first-class wood-working me- 

 chanic of 16 years' experience in this coun- 

 try, and several years in Germany, has 

 taken charge of the bee-supply factory of 

 W. H. Putnam, at River Falls, Wis. 



Mr. Thaddeus Smith, of Frankfort, Ky., 

 in a recent number of Gleanings came out 

 strongly " agiu " the free distribution of 

 the Benton book in large numbers. Rev. 

 E. T. Abbott, of St. Joseph, Mo., agrees 

 with Mr. Smith. Which shows there are 

 two sides to the sub,iect, like many another. 



Mr. J. A. GoLPEN, of Reinersville, Ohio, 

 was visited by Are on Feb. 2. His photo- 

 graph gallery took Are from a spark that 

 had been blown under a metal roof put on 

 over an old shingle roof. His furniture 

 was all saved. This was the second fire 

 that Mr. Golden has suffered in two years. 

 We hope it will be the last. 



Mr. H. D. Cutting, of Tecumseh, Mich., 

 has been confined to the house the greater 

 part of the time since Jan. 5. He was taken 

 with iuflamation of the liver, then neural- 

 gia, and on April 1 was trying to get over 

 the second attack of " la grippe." Surely 

 our good friend has had need of Joblike 

 patience and forbearance. We hope he 

 will conquer all the attacks of pain-produc- 

 ing enemies, and soon be his jolly, good-na- 

 tured self again. 



Mr. W. R. Graham, of Greenville, Tex., 

 wrote thus on April 2: "The Texas State 

 Bee-Keepers' Association is now in session 

 —a fine attendance, and much interest is 

 manifested. It is the 18th annual meeting. 

 Prospects in the bee-business are fine." 

 Good for big Texas. We are expecting 

 great things from that part of our country 

 in the near future. The South is yet to be 

 the bee's paradise, we believe. But the 

 North will continue to do business " at the 

 old stand," as usual. 



Mr. J. F. Hewitt, of the State of Wash- 

 ington, wrote thus when remitting for his 

 subscription : 



" I have had the pleasure of reading the 

 American Bee Journal for the past three 

 months, and consider I have gotten a dol- 

 lar's worth of reading already, for it is 

 really a mint of information, and any one 

 in the bee-business is losing ground by not 

 reading the American Bee Journal. I am 

 a beginner, and every word is devoured {in 

 a manner), for every number has some- 

 thing that is just what I am looking for." 



Mr. J. B. Hall, of Woodstock, Ont., is 

 known as Canada's comb honey chief. In 

 1883 he exhibited 23,000 pounds of honey at 

 the Toronto Fair, and 11,000 pounds of it 

 was comb honey in sections. Mr. H. pro- 

 duced and sold in one year $3,000 worth of 

 honey. Out of his honey crops he built a 

 large, two-story brick house, and banked 

 money enough to carry him over all the 

 poor honey seasons. Mr. Hall is very pop- 

 ular with all the bee-keepers, and being 

 such a successful specialist in bee-keeping, 

 his opinions are always valued highly in 

 bee-matters. After saying all this (which 

 we learned through one of our good Cana- 

 dian friends)— would you believe it ? — this 

 same J. B. Hall won't open his head except 

 he's driven to it in a convention discussion ! 

 My, but he can. talk ! but on paper he's so 

 very mum (for a Canadian), that it seems 

 strange. He's a good man, though, and we 

 liked him very much when we had the 

 pleasure of meeting him at the Toronto 

 convention last September.
