Yellow Sweet Clover Seed 



WE HAVE IT AT LAST ! 

 We have fiually succeeded in g-etting- a small 

 quantity of the "seed of the yellow variety of 

 sweet clover. This kind blooms from two to 

 four weeks earlier thau the common or white 

 variety of sweet clover. It also ^rows much 

 shorter, only about two feet in hight. It is as 

 much visited by the bees as the white, and usu- 

 ally comes into bloom ahead of white clover 

 and basswood. We offer the seed as a premium 



A QUARTER POUND FOR SENDING 

 ONE NEW SUBSCRIPTION. 



So lon^ as it lasts, we will mail a quarter 

 pound of the seed to a leerular paid-up subscri- 

 ber who sends us ONE NEW subscriber for the 

 American Bee Journal one year, with $1.00; or J4 

 pound by mail for 30 cents. 



We have been trying^ for years to secure this 

 seed, and finally succeeded in g-elting it. It is 

 new seed, g-athered last season by an old per- 

 sonal friend of ours, so we know it is all right. 

 But we have only a small supply. When nearly 

 out we will mention it.

an idea that electric honey would be a 

 new thiiig^ on the market, and would 

 make a hit." 



Just then something- happened. The 

 lineman had wrencht loose the honey, 

 and the bees, which had simply retired 

 to the warmest corner of the box be- 

 hind the comb, buzzed out into the face 

 of the marauder. For the next few 

 seconds no one within ear-shot would 

 have recog-nized the fact that Brooklyn 

 is the City of Churches. A bee with a 

 tail like a live wire and the activity of 

 a Tesla oscillator, located itself behind 

 the enemy's ear and sent about 2,000 

 volts thru his bump of combativeness. 

 With a yell he started on a disorderly 

 retreat and reacht the ground in two 

 slips and a jump. But the cold air soon 

 stupefied the beesandin a few minutes 

 they were all lying on the ground as if 

 dead. In an almost equally short time 

 the face of the lineman lookt like a 

 South African landscape. There was 

 a kopje on his right cheek, another on 

 his left eye, and others scattered 

 around his face in wild disorder. 



" You should have your face insula- 

 ted before trying to deal with electric 

 bees," said a professional joke-writer 

 in the crowd, and then he stopt to 

 make a note on his cuff.. 



Policeman No. 280S appeared on the 

 scene. 



"What's the matter here?" he in- 

 quired in his professional tone. 



"Just a little eviction," said the 

 joker. 



"What's this? Bees? Who's been 

 havin' bees inside the city limits? 

 There is an ordinance against it, I 

 think," observed the cop. 



The case was explained to him and
