weather, wliicli I tear will be a little hard on 

 the elover, 



I put my bees in the cellar aiioiit the middle 

 of November, and they seem to be very quiet. 



It is hard to see how you can furnish so 

 good a paper for so little money. May the 

 American Bee Journal live long to stand for 

 the rifjhts of bee-keepers and lie a toe to adul- 

 teration and swindlers.

HERIT ALWAYS WINS. 



The hard times of the past three or 

 four years have been very destructive 

 to all industrial affairs, and the rail- 

 roads have had unusual amount of dif- 

 ficulty in making both ends meet. 

 Roads that have, during this trying 

 period, earned dividends while at the 

 same time affording high-class trans- 

 portation facilities to their patrons, 

 have, indeed, been fortunate. And 

 such an event speaks well for the man- 

 agement of the roads. 



The record of the Nickel Plate Road 

 during the recent period of industrial 

 depression, has indeed been remark- 

 able, and it speaks most eloquently of 

 he conservative judgment of the 

 managers. For this road has made 

 great and steady progress in the ma- 

 terial improvement of its roadway 

 and appliances, and in perfecting its 

 equipment. The interests of the pub- 

 lic have been in no wise neglected ; in 

 fact, the success of this road has inured 

 to the benefit of the public, as much, if 

 not more, than to the stockholders. 

 The condition of the road to-day shows 

 this. Great and valuable improve- 

 ments of a permanent character have 

 been made — in the shape of strength- 

 ening the roadway, bridges and other 

 accessories, and procuring new and 

 improved safety appliances ; new 

 coaches have been added, elegant Pull- 

 man sleeping-cars put on, new and 

 powerful engines have been placed in 

 service, and everything lias been done 

 to raise the standard of the road, to 

 perfect its service, and to give it a 

 leading place among the best roads in 

 the country. The result has been ob- 

 vious. The people have observed the 

 progressive spirit of this road, have 

 given it a liberal patronage, have en- 

 joyed its excellent facilities, and that 

 tells the whole story of a highly suc- 

 cessful enterprise. 



Among the most noteworthy im- 

 provements effected by the Nickel 

 Plate Road is the introduction of a 

 first-class dining-car service, which 

 has won the approval of the best class 

 of patrons. Then the coaches have 

 been illuminated by the brilliant 

 Pintsch gas, heated by steam, and 

 placed in care of a colored porter, so 

 the passengers have had the best that 

 money can afford, at the lowest rates. 

 The thru train service of the Nickel 

 Plate, running in connection with the 

 West Shore and Fitchburg- Railroads 

 over the great Hoosac Tunnel Route, 

 between New York, Boston and Chi- 

 cago — ranks with the best in the coun- 

 try, and has become deservedly popu- 

 lar. Elegant new coaches, and pala- 

 tial Pullman buffet sleeping-cars run 

 thru without change ; the service is 

 unexcelled, the time fast, scenery most 

 fascinating. 



Located along the south shore of 

 Lake Erie are man)' substantial and 

 attractive summer resorts that are 

 yearly growing in popularity, and this 

 class of travel promises a continual 

 increasing source of revenue to the 

 Nickel Plate Road. 48A4t

There is no opportunity for much activity iu 

 this article, spot stocks being of such slim pro- 

 portions as to admit of little other than a light 

 jobbing trade. Market has a firm tone, with 

 prospect of values being maintained at current 

 range thruout the season. 



A HONEY MARKET.— Don't think that your 

 crop is too large or too small to interest us. We 

 have bought and sold five carloads already this 

 season, and want more. We pay spot cash'. Ad- 

 dress, giving quality, quantity and price,
