The Novelty Pocket=Knife. 



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



[This Cut is thk i^oll Size of the Knife.] 



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

 address jou wish put on the Knite. 



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

 made beautifully of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as g-lass. 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 ia of the very best quality; 

 the blades are hand-forged out of the very finest Eng-lish 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 (ierman silver wire; the lining^s are plate brass; 

 the back spring^s 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 and 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! 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 cu', gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation of 

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



How to Get this Valuable Knife.— We send tt postpaid for $1.25, or give it as a Premium to the 

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

 Knife and the Bee Journal for one year, both for $1.90.

ago I pot permission of the railway 

 company to use it by way of experi- 

 ment. Of course, nothing^ would grow 

 on it — that is, nothing but sweet clover 

 which is already along the railroad. 

 We let it grow up and scatter seed until 

 last spring, when I saw there was a 

 dense growth of thick succulent stalks 

 about two feet high. When we were 

 plowing under the clover in the field 

 adjoining, I directed our folks to turn 

 under the sweet clover, and said we 

 would try it with Carman potatoes. 

 The potatoes came up rank and strong 

 to my great surprise, and we have just 

 been digging them, and I was sur- 

 prised again to find some of the hand- 

 somest, cleanest potatoes on that hard, 

 unproductive clay bank that I ever 

 raised anywhere. There was not a 

 particle of scab, no work of wire worms 

 or grubs ; and the crop that we got was 

 at the rate of at least 100 bushels per 

 acre. From this experiment I infer 

 that sweet clover is not only worth as 

 much to turn under as any of the com- 

 mon clovers, but I should say even 

 more.— A. I. Root, in Gleanings in 

 Bee-Culture.

Report foF the Season of 1900, 



My bees are on the summer stands 

 with the supers full of dry leaves, and 

 from 4 to 6 inches of dry leaves around 

 the hives, with tar-paper outside of 

 all, and I believe they are in g-ood 

 shape to stand any kind of a winter we 

 may have. 



When I came to Iowa, two years ago, 

 I sold all my bees, and as they were 

 scarce and high, I did not buy any till 

 last spring, when I got two colonies in 

 box-hives. They gave me two new
