OUR COZY CORNER 



BY HARRY E. HILL 



The illustrations in this issue are 

 so completely explained in the text 

 as to require no comment here. 



The secretary of the Connecticut 

 State Association writes: "I enjoy 

 reading your journal very much in- 

 deed, and wish it success." 



Mt. John M. Davis, the extensive 

 breeder of "Tennessee Queens," at 

 Spring Hill, Tenn., wrote on March 

 20th: "Bees are farther advanced than 

 I have ever seen them at this season." 



Many letters reaching this office are 

 addressed to the "American Bee 

 Journal," Fort Pierce, Fla. This is 

 an error that our patrons should care- 

 fully avoid, especially when writing 

 to advertisers. The confusion of 

 names is an injustice to two periodi- 

 cals. ' Say, "American Bee-Keeper," 

 and say it plain. 



Mr. E. L. King, George's Plain, Ja- 

 maica, writes: I have written sev- 

 eral letters to the Dixie Camera Co., 

 of Atlanta, Ga., as I want to get 

 Dixie developing paper, but letters are 

 returned unclaimed. Can you give rne 

 any information in regard to this 

 firm? Ans. — The firm has been out 

 of business for several years. "Dixie" 

 paper was simply another name for 

 Kruxo, it being put up under the 

 Dixie label for this firm. You wijl 

 find Kruxo advertised in our columns. 



"THE BEST OF ALL BEE JOUR- 

 NALS." 



While the American Bee-Keeper is 

 undoubtedly the most popular of all 

 apiarian journals throughout the East 

 and New England states, it is also 

 evidently as thoroughly read in for- 

 eign countries as any other. Mr, 

 Adrian Getaz says it is more frequent- 

 ly quoted in France than any other 

 bee-paper. We have recently had 

 some interesting correspondence with 

 individual subscribers and associa- 

 tions of the west, showing that it is 

 rapidly gaining ground there among 

 honey producers, as well. 



The following from a lady m Tex- 

 as, indicates the prevailmg spirit of 

 most of those who have favored us 

 with expressions of their opinion: 



"In response to your call in the Feb- 

 ruary number of The Bee-Keeper, I 

 contribute my mite, trusting that, if 

 printed, it may interest some of the 

 readers of your best of all bee jour- 

 nals. Like your Connecticut subscrib- 

 er, I read it from end to end, and 

 could part with almost any magazine 

 or journal we take rather than with 

 the American Bee-Keeper; for, be- 

 sides interesting, it has helped me so 

 much." 



This lady has sent us lists of bee- 

 keepers' names, and thus helped us 

 to introduce it into new homes. We 

 are truly grateful for the kind inter- 

 est of such friends, and each one ad- 

 ded to the list of active workers en- 

 ables us to improve the journal.
