 Calls forth the queenly rose. 



"We are Olad to note that the 

 health of Mr. A. I. Eoot is improving. 

 The trip to California is doing him good. 



John H. Martin, who writes 

 over the nom cle plume of " Eambler," 

 now has settled down near Riverside, 

 Calif. — the land of oranges. He has an 

 apiary of 200 colonies of bees. His 

 former residence was Hartford, N. Y. 



Sno'W is a necessity for the preserva- 

 tion of yonng clover during the Winter. 

 This Winter we have had more than for 

 two or three Winters past. This fact 

 augurs well for a honey crop next Sum- 

 mer, 



Much Space is given in this 

 week's issue to the supposed grievance 

 of our Canadian brethren. There is no 

 doubt but that they have acted hastily 

 and very unwisely. 



Our Hngflisli brethren are going 

 to law over the Punic bees ; at least it is 

 so stated in the London Journal of Hoi'- 

 UcuUure. Wc think that it is a very 

 foolish piece of business to do so — but, 

 perhaps, they have some money to throw 

 away, and " going to law" will afford 

 them an excellent opportunity to do it. 



Xlie Breeder and Fancier is the 

 name of a new periodical devoted to 

 poultry, bees and pets, issued at 50 

 cents a year by W. B. McDermut, Belle- 

 vue, Nebr. It is a model of neatness, 

 typographically considered, and is a 

 credit to the craft. 



Xlie Report of the Albany con- 

 vention in pamphlet form is now com- 

 pleted, and has been sent to all the 

 Annual, Life and Honorary members 

 and cx-Presidents of the North Ameri- 

 can Bee-Keepers' Association — to the 

 Agricultural Colleges and Experimental 

 Stations of America, and all others en- 

 titled thereto. It will be mailed to any 

 one desiring it, for 25 cents; 6 copies 

 for one dollai". It contains half-tone 

 pictures of the present and retiring 

 officers, printed on enameled paper, 

 words and music of a Bee-Keeper's Song, 

 etc. We thinly that all will be highly 

 pleased with it. 



L,ea"ve nothing to what is called 

 "luck," and you will generally be what 

 is called "lucky," said a wise man. This 

 is as true in bee-keeping as in all depart- 

 ments of life. Use every precaution; 

 do everything well, and let people know 

 whore you are and what you are doing, 

 and success is almost certain. These 

 are essentials in bringing "luck." To 

 neglect them is to be unlucky !
