The Novelty Pocket= Knife. 



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



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



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

 address you wish put on the Knife. 



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

 made beautifully of iudestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as glass. Un- 

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

 the subscriber, and 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-forged out of the very finest English razor-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 springs of Sheffield spring-steel, and the finish of the handle as described 

 above. It will last a last-iirae, 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 and address 

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

 dress, would destrov 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 

 give to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a lady to a gentleman, the knife having 

 the name of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanying cut gives a faint idea, but cannot fully conve3' an exact representation ot 

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



How to Get this Valuable Knife.— We send it postpaid for Si 1^, or give it as a Premium to the 

 one sending us 'i. hkee new subscribers to the Bee Journal (with $3.00.) We will club the Novelty 

 Knife and the Bee Journal for one year, both for S1.''0.

saw. As the plant grows the blossoms 

 continue to come out to the topmost 

 branch. It is not a common plant in 

 this section, and I have the only one I 

 ever saw. It grows with a stout, woody 

 stock, and dies in winter, springing up 

 from the root in early spring. What is 

 it ? and how came it to grow in my 

 yard without planting ? 



F. R. Webster. 

 Cheshire Co., N. H., Oct. 26. 



Prof. C. L.Walton, of the Lake View, 

 Chicago, High School, says : 



The specimen is Japanese knotweed, 

 Polygonum zuccarinii, and belongs to 

 the buckwheat family. It is a native 

 of Japan, and is cultivated in this 

 country as an ornamental plant. In 

 common with many other cultivated 

 flowers it escaped, and is found grow- 

 ing wild in restricted sections on the 

 Atlantic coast. Belonging as it does 

 to the buckwheat family, it furnishes 

 considerable honey, as this seems to be 

 a characteristic of the entire family. 



Just how the plant got started in Mr. 

 Webster's garden I can not tell, but 

 being a perennial it might have been 

 planted bj' a former owner, or the wind 

 or a bird might have carried the seed 

 from a distance and dropt it there.

Some Expepienee with Bees. 



I started with two colonies in mov- 

 able-frame hives, and afterward bought 

 two and caught one, and increast to 11 

 in two years. I bought 3 Italian queens 

 of different breeders, and they are 

 doing fine. My way of introducing 

 them is to make the colony queenless 

 for 3 days, go thru and destroy all 

 cells, remove some brood for empty 

 comb — if necessary, or early in the 

 season — then remove the covering from 

 the queen-cage, and the cork or card- 

 board over the candy, lay it just over 

 and between two frames, replace the
