'Ciood Results in Uee-Keepins. 



I commeuced last spring with 20 colonies 

 in Langstroth hives. I sold, and used in 

 my own family, §350 worth o£ honey, and 

 this spring I sold 33 colonies of bees for 

 $110, the hives to be returned to me this 

 summer after the bees are transferred into 

 diSerent hives. The hives will be worth 

 to me at least $30, making in all 490 ; and 

 I have 5 colonies left to start with again. 

 I took off, last year, 2,700 pounds of 

 honey, and sold it all in Morris at from 

 12,i.< to 15 cents per pound, besides a good 

 ■deal that X did not count, where the sections 

 ■were only partly full. The cold rains last 

 :September shortened my crop a good deal. 

 My success with bees is wholly due to the 

 instructions that I have gained by reading 

 the Amekicax Bee Jourxal. It will pay 

 ■every man to take it, who has one colony 

 ■of bees. H. C. Gifford.

•Bees ■will Starve unless Fed. 



My bees are cutting down young drones 

 .almost matured, by the hundred, and drag- 

 ging them from the brood-chamber. On 

 ■examination, I find the hives full of brood 

 and young bees, but no honey. Owing to 

 the mild winter, bees in eastern Ohio com- 

 menced rearing brood in January, and 

 •since that time they have consumed a vast 

 amount of stores. No%v they are destitute. 

 On May 1, my bees had honey in abun- 

 ■dance, but since that time we have had 

 rain almost every day, and the weather 

 bas been cool and damp, and bees can 

 gather nothing from flowers, from the fact 

 that there is nothing to gather. It is my 

 -candid opinion, if bees are not kindly cared 

 for until white clover comes in bloom, that 

 one-half the colonies in Eastern Ohio will 

 ■die of starvation. Jacob Oswalt.

■43old and n'et in Oanada. 



The bees came out in good condition this 

 spring, but the weather has been very cold, 

 and the last two weeks or more have been 

 ■wet, so that the bees have been confined to 

 their hives nearly all the time.

CATARRH. 



CATARRHAL DEAFNESS-HAY FEVER. 



A Ne^w Home Treatment. 



Sufferers are not generally aware that 

 these diseases are contagious, or that they 

 are due to the presence of living parasites 

 in the lining membrane of the nose and 

 eustachian tubes. Slicroscopic research, 

 however, has proved this to be a fact, and 

 the result of this discovery is that a simple 

 remedy has been formulated whereby 

 catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever 

 are permanently cured in from one to three 

 simple applications made at home by the 

 patient once in two weeks. 



N. B. — This treatment is not a snuff or an 

 ointment; both have been discarded by 

 reputable physicians as injurious. A 

 pamphlet explaining this new treatment is 

 sent free on receipt of stamp to pay pos- 

 tage, by A. H. Dixon & Son, 337 and 339 

 West King Street, Toronto, Canada. — 

 Christian Advocate. 



Sufferers from Catarrhal troubles should 

 carefully read the above.

WmCiER'S 



IMPROVED 



FEED GUDiDER 



is a novel and in- 

 geniously arran- 

 ged Grinding 

 Mill, made to at- 

 t:»ch to 10 or 12 

 foot Pumping 

 Wind-Mills, oper- 

 ated by an elbow 

 attached to main 

 pumping rod in 

 such a manner 

 that it can be at- 

 tached or detach- 

 ed in a minute, 

 so that you can either pump or grind, or do 

 both at the same time. It works with a 

 reciprocating lever, so arranged that it 

 grinds on the up-motion of the Wind-Mill. 

 The Grinder consists of a double-metal case 

 and 3 burrs, two remaining stationary and 

 one revolving in the center, producing a 

 double-grinding surface, two-fold greater 

 than any other known to the world, and 

 will grind more than the ordinary farmer 

 needs. It can be changed from grinding 

 coarse to fine by simply turning one nut. 

 Price, $30. We will present one of these 

 Feed Grinders to any one who will send us 

 75 subscribers, at $1.00 each. 



Cliapnian Honey-Plant Seed.— 



This plant has been commended by some of 

 the most experienced bee-keepers in 

 America, as being "a most valuable acqui- 

 sition to the list of bee-forage plants." The 

 seed may be scattered in waste places, or 

 it may be sown in drills or hills like onion 

 seed. We can furnish the seed, postpaid, 

 at the following prices : Single ounce, 40 

 cents; •! ounces, $1.00; 10 ounces, .$2.00; 

 or one pound for $3.00. 



If any one wants a club of two or 

 more weekly or monthly jjeriodicals, be- 

 sides one or both of our Journals— send us 

 a Postal Card, and we will then quote the 

 lowest possible price, by return mail. The 

 number is too great to enumerate.
