OUR COZY CORNER 



BY HARRY E. HILL 



'No. 14 — Unfortunately, we have not 

 learned who took this splendid photo- 

 graph. It shows the neat apiary, of 

 about 100 colonies, situated in an or- 

 chard of about 40 acres, near Water- 

 town, N. Y., belonging to Mr. M. C. 

 Harrington. Mr. Harrington and his 

 bride, just returned from their honey- 

 •moon, -are also shown. Mrs. Geo. B. 

 Howe, wife of the popular apiarian 

 worker, of Black River, N. Y., is al- 

 so presented, (Mrs. Howe being the 

 figure at the left. This is an excellent 

 picture, and the American Bee-Keeper 

 should be pleased to receive lots more 

 of the same excellent quality, and re- 

 flecting such charming scenes. 



No. 15 — Corner of apiary, and or- 

 chard of Mr. Geo. B. Howe, Black 

 River, N. Y., taken in a snow-storm, 

 October lOth, 1906. So heavy was 

 the snow clinging to the fruit trees 

 that it was necessary to keep shaking 

 it oflf to prevent breaking of the trees. 

 This is one of the beautiful sights, 

 characteristic of the North, with which 

 our Southern friends are not familiar. 

 When sending the picture, Mr. Howe 

 failed to say who was the photographer. 



No. 16 — Taken at the Geuverneur 

 Convention, late in the evening, and 

 while it was snowing. Good results 

 are hardly possible under such con- 

 ditions. It serves, however, to show 

 the fine attendance at the meeting. 



No. 17 — ^This little picture includes a 

 number of the most prominent apiarists 

 of the Empire State, and the Associa- 

 tion represents the allied , apiarian or- 

 ganizations of New York — the New 



York State Association of Bee-Keep- 

 ers' Societies, who passed resolutions 

 designating the American Bee-Keeper 

 as their official organ, and officially 

 conferred high honors upon the Ameri- 

 can Bee-Keeper and its publishers.

One of The Bee-Keeper's Most Successful 

 Camera Users, and Her Pet Cat. 



A PURE FOOD EXPERT. 



Dr. H. W. Wiley, the famous

 Food law of a story. 



"A country grocer," he said, "was 

 talking to a throng of customers about 

 the wonderful sense of touch that the 

 blind have.
