I have been obliged to feed more or less 

 ever since last spring. A single colony 

 of bees could not have gathered enough 

 from the fields to make a living at any 

 time when white clover ought to have 

 been at its hight. 



We have just had several good rains, 

 and if the weather is favorable bees 

 will gather enough from sweet clover 

 to winter on, for which we shall be 

 thankful. H. G. Ouikin.

Not Storing Much Surplus. 



Bees here are not storing much sur- 

 plus, and there has been no swarming 

 worth speaking of. Wet weather is 

 the cause. The prospect from now on 

 looks favorable. J. C. Smaii,.

Some Hints Wise and Otherwise. 



If It Is So that in the city of Santa 

 Fe, New Mexico, there are no rats, mice 

 or cats, because of the toorarified air of 

 that locality, the pertinent question 

 would be. How, then, is it possible for 

 people and other animals to live there ? 



Those Zulus in Africa have a fine 

 sense of propriety. It is said they dec- 

 orate the graves of their dead with the 

 empty and partly-filled bottles of med- 

 icines the doctors supply. It is a covert 

 suggestion that requires no X-rays to 

 make clear. 



Printers' Ink contains some delete- 

 rious elements — just what it is I don't 

 know. But this is an establisht fact, 

 that newspapers and other printed 

 matter, when used for toilet purposes, 

 is one of the greatest factors in the 

 production of piles. 



And while on this subject, I wish to 

 note the result of an accident to my
