AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL

The tone of the clipping indicates that 

 he is credulous in regard to the new 

 discovery (?), and is intent upon g-iving 

 it wide circulation. I have explained 

 the matter the best I could in one of 

 our county papers, but the lie is travel- 

 ing fast. 



Last week, when I was delivering 

 some honey to one of my customers (a 

 country merchant), the dealer said : " I 

 hear a new method has been discovered 

 for making honey so that the bees do 

 not have to depend upon the flowers." 



Suspecting what was coming, I askt, 

 " Is that so ? Why, how is it done ? I 

 am anxious to keep up with the times, 

 and learn all the new methods." 



He replied, "Why, J. S. Trigg says 

 all you have to do is to feed the bees 

 plenty of glucose, and they won't go 

 near a flower." 



Of course, I told him I had read Mr. 

 Trigg's article, and explained how the 

 story originated, etc. 



But that is only one out of thousands 

 who will read and believe the false- 

 hood. I think all bee-keepers should 

 take particular pains to set the matter 

 right, not only by talking it to their 

 customers, but thru their local news- 

 papers. 



My bees are doing fairly well on 

 white clover yet. I am trying to keep 

 down swarming, but I have 11 new 

 swarms, the most of them issuing be- 

 fore the middle of June, from 25 old 

 colonies. Nearly all are working in 

 the sections, and quite a number are 

 filling their third super of 24 sections. 



Not long since I saw the statement 

 (I am unable just now to find the page) 

 that a good-sized swarm of 30,000 bees 

 should weigh about S'i pounds. I have 

 weighed a number of prime swarms 

 this season, and the lightest was 5 

 pounds, and they run from that to 8 

 pounds and 2 ounces. I use the 8-frame 

 hive. A. F. FooTE.

American Enterprise at Paris.— Amon^ the 

 striking and orig-iual exhibits at the Paris Ex- 

 position of I'XiO few have occasioned more favor- 

 able comment than the ^reat map of the United 

 States, 18.X15 feet, exhibited by the well known 

 advertising agency of Loid & Thomas, Chicago 

 and New York. This map is constructed to 

 show at a glance the various details concern- 

 ing state areas and population, number of pub- 

 lications in each, circulation per issue, percent- 

 age of circulation to population, value of pub- 

 lishing plants, number of employes, average 

 hours of labor, average wages paid and average 

 cost per inch for yearly advertising. Informa- 

 tion of this nature is of especial value to adver- 

 tisers, showing as it does the best locations in 

 which to place advertising to reach the great- 

 est number of people and secure best results. 



The firm of Lord & Thomas has been engaged 

 in the general advertising business for over 30 

 years, and ranks among the largest in its line. 

 They prepare advertisements for all classes of 

 advertisers and place them in publications. 



Copies of this valuable map will be sent free 

 on request to all advertisers who address Lord 

 & Thomas, Trude Building, Chicago.
