The Novelty Pocket=Knife. 



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



HOWARD M. MELBEE, 



HONEYVILLE, O. 



[This Cut is tijk i^iLi- Size of the Knife.] 



Your Name on the Knife.— Wh^n oideriiig-, be sure to say just what uame and 



address you wish put on the Knite. 



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

 made beautifully of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as gflass. Un- 

 derneath the celluloid, on one side of the handle is placed the uatne 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 linin(j-s are plate brass; 

 the back springs 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 ia 

 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 

 g-ive 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' gices a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation of 

 this beautiful knife, as the '* Noveltj- " niust be seen to be appreciated. 



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

 one sending us i hree 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.

Our IjeBS are in a little pine (frove near the 

 liouse. For winterinf; we drive stakes, and 

 wind with eonimon wrappinfj-twine, then fill 

 in with pine-needles and leaves to the top of 

 the hive (e.\eept the front, which is left un- 

 covered.) We put an empty super on top of 

 the hive, then fill eheese-clolh bat's with dry 

 maple leaves, the bags being just a lit for the 

 super. We put slats across the super to keep 

 the bags from falling down im the frames. 

 thus giving the bees space to crawl over the 

 toi) of the frames, and like this better than 

 the chaff hives. 



We put covers of matcht '.j-inch boards, 3J<^ 

 feet stiuare, and close the entrance by putting 

 a little strip under, leaving a space 3 or 4 

 inches long, and high enough for bees to crawl 

 out. Bees winter-killed all about here last 

 winter, but ours wintered finely.'] 72'^

Bees Did Very Nicely. 



My bees did very nicely this year," haviiig 

 taken over 2U0 pounds of honey from 5 colo- 

 nies. Three other colonies did not store any 

 surplus. One colony produced 80 pounds of 

 comb honey, which is pretty good for this 

 part of the country. F. D. Ketes,

Cotton as a Honey-Plant. 



On page TIS, K. P. Davies, of Lamar Co., 

 Tex., says, '' The cotton-plant is our mainstay 

 here for honey, and it is a good one." Con- 

 sidering the time it continues to bloom one 

 would think it a great boon to Southern bee- 

 keepers, but I don't think it anything extra, 

 tho the bees do work on it.
