 thanks. It is prettv fine to be able to drop a letter into the mailinfc- 

 tube here in the office, and then in a few hours have hive parts

 to trade with your company. Heretofore I have usually sent to 

 agents farther off. My orders have not been very large, so far, but 

 it is well nigh impossible not to take a lively interest in bees if one 

 happens to read "Gleanings," as I do, and I expect to keep rnaDy 

 more colonies than 1 do now." JA8, A. SMITH.
