 19A4t Mention the American Bee JoumaU 



Mb. R. McKnight, we regret to see 

 by the May Review, has lost his wife by 

 death. , 



Mrs. Effie Brown, of Eau Claire, 

 Wis., is the wide-awake editor of the 

 department of "Bees and Honey" in 

 the Northwestern Agriculturist. She 

 makes it very interesting. Knows how. 



Mr. p. a. Snell, of Milledgeville, 111., 

 is one of our oldest readers. In a recent 

 letter he says : "I have all the num- 

 bers since 1867 of the "Old Reliable." 

 Long may its banner wave. My bees 

 are in good condition." 



Mr. W. J. Farr, of Los Angeles 

 county, Calif., wrote thus in a letter 

 dated May 14: "You need not fear 

 that California will glut the Eastern 

 market with honey this year, unless 

 from honey held over from last year. I 

 am feeding my o-tO colonies at this 

 date. No swarming." 



Mr. F. L. THOMrsoN, of Arvada, Colo,, 

 is fast becoming one of the few volum- 

 inous writers on apiculture. In the last 

 Bee-Keepers' Review he fathers no less 

 than three different contributions. He 

 is well known to Bee .Journal readers 

 also. But probably the two Americans 

 who write the most on the subject of 

 bees are Mr. Doolittle, of New York, 

 and Dr. Miller, of Illinois. 



Mr. W. T. Richardson, President of 

 the California Bee-Keepers' Exchange, 

 while stepping from a moving train at 

 Santa Paula, on the evening of April 

 10, was thrown so violently to the 

 ground as to be rendered unconscious 

 for several minutes. His condition has 

 been extremely critical for several days, 

 and at this writing he is not considered 

 wholly out of danger. — Gleanings. 



Dr. a. B. Mason, of Toledo, Ohio, 

 Secretary of the North American Bee- 

 Keepers' Association, has been suffering 

 with a severe attack of sciatica for 

 nearly four weeks. In a letter he 

 writes, " Don't talk to me about pain — 

 llinowhliii, rERSONAi.LT, and WELL." 

 We are glad to know Dr. M. is recover- 

 ing from the attack, and is hard at 

 work on the program and arrangements 

 for the next meeting of the North Amer- 

 ican, to be held at (?). Quite 



likely it will be Lincoln, Nebr. 



Rev. Emerson T. Abbott, of St. Jo- 

 seph, Mo,, has written a very interesting 

 article on " Missouri Bee-Keeping : Its 

 Extent, Pleasures, Profits and Possibili- 

 ities," which was recently published in 

 50 county papers in Missouri. It was 

 illustrated with seven engravings, and 

 should do much to place bee-keeping in 

 its proper light before Missouri readers. 

 Seems to us others might well follow 

 Mr. Abbott's example. It would help 

 much to get people interested in the 

 product of the hive. And that migh,t 

 aid in creating a larger demand for it. 

 Mr. Abbott has done a good thing for 

 the honey-producers of his State.
