 happened to get into bee-keeping. SeTenteei 

 years ago he wrote a small book, called " & 

 Year Among the Bees," but that little work 

 has been out of print for a number of years.

fine to look upi n, and it was produced only 

 about 8 miles from my home, but I could not 

 sell i ^ fHuse I would not indorse it with my 

 signature. 



I am soon to deliver a little talk to some 

 boys, and the base of my remarks is, "A good 

 name is rather to be chosen than great 

 riches ". Is this not the sum and substance 

 of a pure food law— something that you can 

 swear is "morally", as well as "legally", 

 pure? 



Yes, fellow bee-keepers, if you would sell 

 your small crops of honey at home to a good 

 advantage, see to it that your own name 

 among your neighbors is to be depended upon, 

 that what you offer for sale is absolutely pure.

Bees Winterlngr Well— Smoking 

 Bees. 



I have 28 colonies of bees and they seem to 

 be wintering all right so far. We are having 

 lots of cold, and more than lots of snow. We 

 didn't get much No. 1 honey last year. There 

 was plenty of white clover, but I think we 

 had a rain that washed the nectar out. 



I notice there is quite a difference in opin- 

 ion as to the amount of smoke to use, some 

 wanting lots and some none. I find that for 

 my use my pipe furnishes about the right 

 amount, only it is generally out when I want 

 the smoke. I get to work with the bees and 

 forget to keep it going. I usually keep my 

 smoker lighted and handy, but seldom have 

 to use it. 



I haven't many bees, but I am the one that 

 sells the honey here, thanks to the " Old Re- 

 liable ". I have sold about $70 worth, and 

 the most of that was comb honey at 10 cents 

 a section. Ltman North.
