Splendid Flow from Willow-Herb. 



We are getting a splendid flow of 

 honey from willow-herb at this date. I 

 have just taken off over 4,0U0 pounds 

 of as fine honey as I ever saw, and it is 

 still coming. In fact, the crop was 

 gathered last year after this time.

Bees Doing Well. 



In the fall of 1S95 I stored away IS 

 colonies, and lost two after taking out 

 on April 16, being queenless. They 

 worked right along from the start, not 

 a backset of any kind, and now I have 

 33 colonies. I have six supers on for 

 extracting, and the balance with comb 

 honey supers. Some have three tiered 

 Tip, some with two, and all I expect will 

 be well filled. I have taken off some 

 supers, and extracted some, and put on 

 the market. I sell all my honey at 

 home. W. J. Steven.son.

Some Good Work. 



The last time I wrote I was in Florida. 

 I am still among the bees, and my Flor- 

 ida colony, on my veranda there, sends 

 me good reports, viz : Two swarms, and 

 $2.00 worthof honey lastspring, which, 

 owing to no orange blossoms, is a good 

 report. 



I extracted l-l-O pounds of white clover 

 honey from a swarm that came off on 

 July 14. On July 13 the hive was full, 

 and I took from the supers 140 pounds, 

 actual weight. I have one colony now 

 S supers high, with three entrances, 

 and I am going to make affidavit as to 

 yield. They have not swarmed yet. 

 There is over 200 pounds of white 

 honey stored now. C. F. Greening.

Amalgamation— Reply to Dr. Miller. 



On page 201, Dr. Miller wishes me to 

 " take the trouble and look up the mat- 

 ter, and give us the names of those who 

 advocate amalgamation who are not 

 members of the Union."' I never said 

 those advocating amalgamation were 

 not members of the Union. But I now 

 do say, that, because they were mem- 

 bers of the Union, they could speak for 

 themselves only, and being members 

 does not constitute them the majority. 

 We should be willing to submit to the 

 will of the majority, and not get the fur 

 all turned the wrong way because some 

 one differs from us. 



He wants "the advocates of amalga- 

 mation who are not members of the 

 Union to be named." Will the Doctor 

 please favor us with the names of Union 

 members who do not favor amalgama- 

 tion ? 



Again the fur turns. The Doctor says 

 he " wants the advocates of amalgama- 

 tion " to " walk up and pay their $1.00 

 like the rest of us." I did not accuse 

 Dr. Miller of being delinquent, or any 

 one else, but to quote my article cor- 

 rectly: "II any one, or any number of 



THE "NOVELTY" POCKET-KNIFE I 



liTJ., 



GEO. W. YORK, 



CHICAGO. ILLS. 



Yonr Name on the Knife.— When ordering, be sure to say just what Name aott 

 Address you wish put on the Knife. 



The Novelty Knife Is Indeed a novelty. The novelty lies in the handle. It is made 

 beautifully of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as jilass. Underneath the 

 celluloid, on one side of the handle is placed an American Bee Jourxal, reminder, and on the 

 other side, name and residence of the Subscriber. 



The material entering- into this celebrated knife Is of the very best quality; the blades 

 are handforged out of the very finest English razor-steel, and wc warrant every blade. The 

 holsters are made of German silver, and will never rust or corrode. The rivets are hardened 

 German silver wire: the linings are plate briss; the back springs of .^heliield spring steel, and 

 the finish of handle as described above. It will last a lifetime, witb proper usage. 



Why pnrctaasetbe NoTelty Knire? Tu case a g.iod kniff is lost, the chances are, 

 the owner will never recover it; but if the Novelty is lost, having iKime and addre^ of owner, 

 the finder will return it; otherwise to try to destroy the name and address, would destroy the 

 knife. If traveling, and you meet with a serious accident, and are .^u fortunate as to have one 

 of the Novelties, your pocket kxife will serve as as an identifier; and in case of death, your 

 relatives will at once be apprised of the accident. 



How appropriate this knife is for a Christmas. New Tearor birthday present 1 What 

 more lasting memento could a mother give to a son, a wife to a bu^liand. a sister to a brother, 

 a lady to a gentleman, or vice versa, a son to a mother, a husband to a wife, a brother to a sister 

 bM a geut'einan to a lady — the knife having the name of the recipient, on one side ? 



The nocompanying cut gives a faint idea, but cannot fully coiivev an exact representa- 

 tion of this beautiful knife, as the " Noveltj " must lie seen to be cppreclated. 



Hotv to Get this Valuable Knife — We send itpostpal'i. torSl. , or give It as a 

 Premium to the one sending us tliree ne^v Subscribers to the Bee Jottrnai, (with $3.00), 

 and we will also send to each new name a copy of the Premium Edition of the book " Bees and 

 Hone- " We olub the Novelty Knife with the Bee Journal for one year, both for 81.90.
