. {^""iiFriend M. M. Baldridge, who has 

 been in cliarge of an apiary the past year 

 near Shreveport, La., returned a few weeks 

 ago to his home at St. Charles, 111. He re- 

 ports his yield of surplus honey from 148 

 stocks at 10,000 lbs.— about one-half extract- 

 ed and the balance in section boxes. While 

 en route for home, Mr. B. visited Xew 

 Orleans and Chicago, and made arrange- 

 ments for shipping hives, boxes, etc., from 

 both of these points. See advertisement in 

 this issue. 



Attention is called to the advertise- 

 ment <^)f Kopp's Commercial Calcula- 

 tor. It is in all respects what is claimed 

 for it, and will be a very valuable book for 

 those having use for such a work. It has 

 already received the most flattering testi- 

 monials from over 200 of the most prominent 

 mathematicians of the LTnited States. Read 

 the advertisement; the book will be sent 

 postpaid on receipt of the ju-ice. 



8^^ In his " Centennial Letter " to the 

 Bee World, friend W. J. Andrews thus 

 speaks of his first meeting with the pub- 

 lisher of the A. B. J.: 



"On our entrance, Mr. T. G. Newman, of 

 Chicago, was addressing the Society on Or- 

 ganization. It was quite gratifying to us to 

 hear his eulogy on our Maury Covnity Bee- 

 Keepers' Society, of which he spoke in high 

 terms ; the more so, too, because he was 

 totally unaware that it had a representative 

 present. Soon after the close of ilr. New- 

 man's remarks, his eyes fell on us, and 

 recognized us from a photograph and at 

 once introduced himself. Mr. Newman we 

 take to be a good worker, and, if we mistake 

 not, 'a jolly good soul is he.' " 



■ We desire to caution our subscribers 



not to send money by mail; either procure 

 a Money Order, Registered Letter, or Draft. 



JI^" We liave received two nicely-printed 

 Price-Lists for Bees, &c., for 187T. One is 

 from J. Oatman&Co., Dundee, 111., and the 

 other from Dr. J. P. H. Brown, Augusta. Ga.

We hnve received from Geo. Stinson 



& Co., Portland, Maine, several pictures 

 recently published by them. Stinson & Co. 

 are among the pioneers in the Fine Art 

 publishing business in this country. A 

 short time since they published a chromo 

 that had a run of over one hundred and 

 twenty-five thousand copies. Their weight, 

 unmounted, was over nine tons. In the 

 selection of subjects, they show correct 

 judgment of the public taste, which natural 

 talent, aided by long experience, alone can 

 give. They publish every description of 

 fine works of Art, from a chromo to a photo- 

 graph— from a fine Crayon drawing to the 

 most elegant Steel Engraving. They want 

 agents, and offer liberal inducements. See 

 their advertisement in this issue, headed 

 "To the Working Class."

In J. Y. Caldwell's article on Surplus 

 Honey, page 28, January number, second 

 column, sixth line from top, the reader will 

 please put a period after the word "boxes," 

 to make sense. It^was overlooked by the 

 printer.

 on their summer stands, notwithstanding
