laid on his bed and read it the day be- 

 fore he died. Oftentimes he would read 

 a piece to me, especially the poetry — it 

 always sounded so nice about the little 

 honey-bee, and seemed to have the 

 spirit of God in it, directing one's 

 thoughts above. He did want to live 

 so badly, and keep bees to make a 

 living for his family. He had only 9 

 colonies, and they are not storing 

 much honey on account of not having 

 anything to work on. They are also 

 needing new hives. 



On account of Mr. Hastin's long- 

 continued sickness I am left with no 

 home and almost nothing to go on, 

 with three little children to bring up. 

 I am going to do my best to get along 

 and keep the bees. I don't understand 

 working with them much, as he did 

 almost all the work, with my help.

[We wish to express our own sympa- 

 thy, as well as that of all bee-keepers, 

 Mrs. Hastin, in your great loss and 

 sorrow. We trust you will be able to 

 care for those little children, and that 

 the bees may do better so as to be a 

 help to you in your struggle to get 

 along. — Editor.]

This is how it all happened : Last 

 spring I felt in need of some soul- 

 stirring excitement, and I got it. It 

 was in the shape of a 4-frame nucleus 

 with a healthy queen of " scrapping " 

 propensities. I lodged them comforta- 

 bl)' under my cherry-trees and awaited 

 results. 



It wasn't long before I wanted to call 

 on them, as it were, to show them my 

 neighborly consideration ; and say, 

 they " saw the call!" They came at 

 me with pat hands. They thought it a 

 bluff, and it wouldn't work. I just had
