THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



May 



Australia in the near future. B}" the 

 way, that interesting department 

 in American Bee Journal, ' ' In Sun- 

 ny South-land " which has been un- 

 der the charge of Mrs. Atchle}' is 

 now conducted by Dr. Smith, of 

 Augusta, Ga. 



Last month we announced that 

 May 1st the price of foundation 

 would probably be advanced. Dur- 

 ing the past two weeks the price of 

 beeswax has fallen off a little and 

 the indications are that, it will be 

 lower still, thus obviating the neces- 

 sity of advancing the price of foun- 

 dation. Although at the present 

 prices there is no profit for us in it 

 nor has there been an}- for several 

 weeks. 



Trade is now very brisk and if you 

 expect to need any goods we hope 

 you will order as soon as possible. 

 We do not wish to keep any of our 

 customers waiting for their supplies 

 this spring. 



The Southland Queen is the name of 

 a new bee journal to be issued this 

 month by The Jennie Atchley Co., 

 Beeville, Texas.. 



NO MORE WILD WEST* 



The whirligig of time hiis brought a re- 

 versal of conditions, when the traveler in 

 the Indian country, the farmer in the New 

 Mexico valley, feels more secure than the 

 citizen of the metropolis who trudges home- 

 ward on a dark night with an eye to the 

 alleys; when the old inhabitant gazes 

 dreamily at his rusty Winchester on the 

 wall and shudders at the desolating fury of 

 the live wire and the trolley-car. Shooting 

 through the roof is almost out of fashion 

 west of the Mistouri (I know at least one 

 Territorial salooon where it is not allowed 



even on the Fourth of July); riding horse- 

 back on a billiard-table ii no longer com- 

 monly practiced by the male society of rail- 

 road towns. A large proportion of the 

 standing army has secured a sedentary oc- 

 cupation in the East, and the West is be- 

 coming commonplace and agricultural. In 

 short, the frontier is effaced; and the blood- 

 and-thunder novelist of the future who 

 seeks material of " contemporaneous human 

 interest" will go further and fare worse if 

 he leaves the liars of the New York police- 

 man for the uneventful regions where the 

 war-whoop is no longer heard. — William 

 Trou'bridge Lamed, in May Lippincott's.
