The Novelty Pocket=Knife. 



Your Name and Address on one side— Three Bees on the other side. 



HOWARD M. MELBEE, 



HONEYVILLE, O. 



[This Cut is the Full Size of the Knife.] 



Your Name on the Knife,— When ordering', be sure to say just what name aud 

 address you wisli put oa the Knife. 



The Novelty Knife is iudeed a novelty The novelty lies in the handle. It is 

 made beautifully of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as g^lass. Un- 

 deraeath the celluloid, on one side of the handle is placed the name and residence of 

 the subscriber, aud on the other side pictures of a Queen, Drone, and Worker, as 

 shown here. 



The Material entering- into this celebrated knife is of the very best quality; 

 the blades are hand-forg-ed out of the very finest Eng-lish razcjr-steel, and we war- 

 rant every blade. The bolsters are made of German silver, and will never rust or 

 corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver wire; the linings are plate brass; 

 the back spriups of Sheffield spring^-steel, and the finish of the handle as described 

 above. It will last a last-time, with proper usage. 



Why Own the Novelty Knife ? In case a good knife is lost, the chances are the 

 owner will never recover it; but if the " Novelty " is lost, having' name aud address 

 of owner, the finder will return it; otherwise to try to destroy the name and ad- 

 dress, would destroy the knife. If traveling, and you meet with a serious accident, and are so for- 

 tunate as to have one of the "Novelties," your Pocket-Knife will serve as an identifier; and in 

 case of death, your relatives will at once be notified of the accident. 



How appropriate this knife is for a present I What more lasting- memento could a mother 

 g-ive to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a lady to a g-entleman, the knife having 

 the name of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanying cut gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation ol 

 this beautiful knife, as the '* Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated.

veninp. Our climate is mild, but not 

 especially adapted to bee-culture ; how- 

 ever, I take great pleasure in my half- 

 dozen colonies, which produced about 

 50 pounds each of comb honey the past 

 season. 



I desire to express my appreciation 

 of the weekly visits of the valuable 

 American Bee Journal, without which 

 I would not like to be.

Gather From Asters— Moving Bees. 



Bees are g-athering- nectar from 

 asters as we have not had any frost 

 yet. I move my bees in the middle of 

 the day when the thermometer is 94 

 degrees in the shade, with the help of 

 a wet carpet doubled and laid over the 

 hives. Robert J. Gary.

Honey Crop Not Large. 



I am a farmer and bee-keeper, and 

 have only black bees. They used to 

 store some surplus, but this year the 

 honey crop was not large in this 

 county. It is the first time it has been 

 a failure here for many years.

Whistled to Prevent Stinging. 



On page 578 is an account of bees 

 settling on oxen, and the comment 

 was, " so there are bee-stories as well 

 as fish-stories." 



G I would like to tell one similar, and 

 if there is any truth in man, it is abso- 

 lutely true. 



An old bee-keeper of our town, Mr. 

 Ezra Somers, in his 80th year, told me 

 how he got his first colony of bees. In 

 1835 he was drawing logs from the 

 woods, and a swarm of bees settled on 

 the neck-yoke of the oxen and on him.
