Dr. Miller is still objecting- to the use 

 of the term "shook-swarms. " He 

 would say "shaken-swarms." He is a 

 better g-rammarian than I am, and may 

 be correct, but here is the way it looks 

 to me: This is a case of using- a verb 

 as an adjective, and it seems to me as 

 thoug-h it would be allowable to use 

 that tense of the verb which is the most 

 euphonious.

"Give me the man who can hold on 

 when others let go; who pushes ahead 

 when others turn back; who stiffens up 

 when others weaken; who advances 

 when others retreat; who knows no 

 such word as 'can't' or 'give up;' and 

 I will show you a man who will win 

 in the end, no matter what opposes 

 him, no matter what obstacles con- 

 front him." — Orison Swett Mardeti, in 

 Success. 



Three Editors (Gleanings, American 

 Bee Journal and Review) expect to be

 vention at Grand Rapids.

Circulars from a sugar-house in Cali- 

 fornia have been sent to me by several 

 subscribers. These circulars do con- 

 tain testimonials from bee-keepers 

 who have used sugar for feeding their 

 bees in dry seasons. This explains 

 how one man testified to the benefit of 

 feeding the sugar "the entire season." 

 It was to keep his bees from starving.

"Baby Nuclei," is the title of a very 

 neat little pamphlet gotten out by 

 "Swarthmore," of Swarthmore, Penn. 

 It is exceedingly well-written, and 

 shows up, more clearly than anything 

 that has been written, the possibilities 

 of modern queen rearing by the use of 

 the small, or "baby" nuclei. If you 

 are interested, write for a copy to E. 

 L. Pratt, Swarthmore, Penn.

"Bee Pranks" is the name of a very 

 attractive, readable little booklet got- 

 ten out by the G. B. Lewis Co., of 

 Watertown, Wis. In this has been 

 gathered together fac simile accounts 

 taken from newspapers and trade- 

 journals. All the swarming scrapes, 

 the stinging rampages, the laughable 

 incidents, the queer "pranks" about 

 bees that have been published in a 

 long time have been gathered together 

 in this book. The picture on the front 

 cover is — well, it's a "dandy." The 

 price of the book is ten cents, but it 

 will be sent free to any one who will 

 send the Lewis Company the names 

 and addresses of five bee-keepers.
