Poor Season In 1899. 



The past was tlie poorest season in 1(1 

 years. I started In the surlnK witli ti luilo 

 nies. Increast to 11, doiiliied hack to S, and 

 tfot M pounds of surplus honey in all. I fed 

 a part of them for winter, and will feed 

 more in the sprinx- A number of bees thru 

 this|iartof Iowa will starve this winter. 

 Mine are doliiR nicely so far, bavins IliKhts 

 ()uite often. All are oiitdoors with but lit- 

 tle protection for winter, but the weather 

 has been Hue no snow to speak of.

 stands, packt with ei^iit thicknesses of bur- 

 lap over the frames. I look fora p;ood crop 

 for I'.KKI, us Ihcroaro u^oodmuny busswood

Expresses His Thanks. 



Allow me to express my thanks to Mr. 

 'I'lioH. tJ, Newman (tnd also to the Ameri- 

 cHii Hot* .lourmil. for the interesting report 

 niven on puj;e I'.P. II all organizations 

 would put bef(U'e tiui public, us Mr. New- 

 mail did, the good work that they have 

 ilone. can. iind will do. there would lie no 

 troulile to increase the funds in the treas- 

 ury. 'I'here wotdd be cpiite a large number 

 who would join fis soon as they knew that 

 their dollar would be a beuellt to tliem, anil 

 also to others. I am very sorry that Mr. 

 Newman is compelled to retire, for the 

 world needs thousands of such willing and 

 able men us he is. 



Now let all the olllcers of the Association 

 push forward in the wake of Mr. Newman, 

 and we will increase our hundreds of mem- 

 bers to tllOUSKllds. KoiiT. J, ClHY.

Honey Eye-Wash. 



Tut into an ounce vial of pure bone.y a 

 piece of alum as large us the end of the lit- 

 tle linger, and then put the vial (corkt of 

 course) into a cornmeol dough, and cook it 

 until the cornlireod is done. When cool, 

 take out th» vial and it is ready for use. 



The above racipe was given to me a 

 mouth ago. It cured a man here that the 

 doctors said could not be cured ; and the 

 man who gave it to me got some for his lit- 

 tle grandchild, and said if it cured her it 

 would be worth $i.'i(KI. Me said the other 

 day that she wa» getting better with the 

 treatment. 1 gave him the honey for it.

HeavySLoss in Bees Last Winter. 



During the winter of 1 8118 '.Hi, while out 

 dehorning cattle, 1 made it a point to in- 

 quire about bees, and found something over 

 mm colonies in Tama and Marshall counties, 

 and 1 think in l'"ebruary and March (as I 

 was on the road) 1 found 87 of the KKI alive. 

 I have learned since then that the 87 nearly 

 half died before May. One man in Mar- 

 shall county had 1(10 colonies, anil lost every
