they would swarm out and leave us, so 

 we divided them, putting- the (jueen on 

 the new stand, and left the bees to do 

 the rest. But after all this they sent 

 off a swarm, tho we had no trouble in 

 hiving them, and at the end of July we 

 had a nice lot of honey — the best I ever 

 tasted, I think. 



This is a nice place for honey-bees 

 after all. I would like to get one of 

 Dr. Miller's queens for the poorest 

 colony, I think, as I am not quite sure 

 about their queen. I see some white 

 babies being carried out — not full size, 

 so I fear laying workers. 



We have had a very severe drouth 

 the last six weeks, but are having a 

 good rain now. Tom Henry. 



Muskoka, Canada, Sept. 19. 



Pleased With Tall Sections and 

 Fences. 



I have five 8-frame hives with Ideal 

 supers and section fence-separators. I 

 am well pleased with the fenc?-separa- 

 tors. I got 148 sections of nice water- 

 white honey from one colonj- in the 

 spring, and I now have about 25 sec- 

 tions of dark honey on the same hive, 

 which I shall not take off. My other 

 four colonies did well. I will not get 

 any fall honey on account of drouth, 

 as we have had no rain for two months. 

 Holly is our main white honey pro- 

 ducer here, beginning to bloom about 

 May 1st and continuing about five 

 weeks. 



I take four bee-papers and read them 

 thoroly. I also have some good te.\t- 

 books. I hope every reader appreciates 

 the American Bee Journal as I do, and 

 that it may long continue to send out 

 its weekly budget of interesting infor- 

 mation. John P. McC-vslin.

Convex Dishorner.— We notice with pleasure 

 the advertisement of George Webster, of Chris- 

 tiana, Pa., elsewhere in this issue. Mr. Web- 

 ster will be remembered as the manufacturer of 

 the celebrated Convex Dishorner, the firm hav- 

 ing been formerly Webster & Dickinson. Some 

 months ago Mr. Webster purchast his partnei's 

 entire interest and now is sole owner of the bus- 

 iness. A very convenient feature of his sales 

 department is the branch in Chicago from 

 which western orders are filled. All orders, 

 however, go to Christiana as heretofore- Mr. 

 Webster is advertising several new special ap- 

 pliances—one a calf dishorner, and another his 

 Bucker stock-holder — a most effective aid to 

 proper dishorning. It is to the interest of every 

 breeder of cattle to correspond with Mr. Web- 

 ster and get his catalog, not forgetting to men- 

 tion the American Bee journal.

FOR HOMESEEKERS. 



The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul 

 R'y will sell regular Homeseekers' Ex- 

 cursion tickets to all points in South 

 Dakota, at one fare plus $2.00 for the 

 round trip, on Sept. 18 and Oct. 2, 1900. 

 This will enable parties to visit the 

 Corn Belt Exposition to be held in 

 Mitchell, S. D., Sept. 26 to Oct. 4, 1900, 

 inclusive. This exposition is held to 

 demonstrate the great agricultural re- 

 sources, wealth and possibilities of 

 this thriving State. The exposition is 

 held in a gorgeously decorated corn- 

 palace, which for beauty can hardly 

 be excelled anywhere by a building of 

 a temporary nature. There are thou- 

 sands of acres of cheap lands left in 

 South Dakota that will, under the 

 present conditions in that State rapidly 

 increase in price, and the holding of 

 this corn-palace with its many attrac- 

 tions, that both amuse and instruct, 

 should be an opportunity that, all land 

 and investment seekers should em- 

 brace. 



For further information apply to any 

 ticket agent of the Chicago, Milwau- 

 kee & St. Paul R'y> or address Geo. H. 

 Heafford, General Passenger Agent, 

 Chicago. 39A3t
