here this winter. The spring has opened 

 up fairly well. Though we had plenty of 

 rain during the winter, the late March 

 winds dried the ground up so rapidly that 

 it began to look as if the coming season 

 was to be a dry one. To-day there are in- 

 dications that we are soon to have more 

 rain, and then everything will be all right. 

 But down in the southern part of the State 

 I understand that the season is a dry one, 

 and that the indications point to a poor 

 honey season. This might be expected, for 

 it is rare to have two good seasons in suc- 

 cession. W. A. Pryal.

Bees in Fine Condition, Etc. 



I have 65 colonies of bees, and all are in 

 fine condition. They are rearing brood 

 fast. I did not feed my bees any the past 

 winter. I have 84 frames of honey to put 

 new swarms on. I have some fine golden 

 queens, and 60 hives all ready made, and 

 painted nicely ; so you see I am " loaded " 

 for the swarming season. When is the 

 time to sow sweet clover seed ? I have 

 some alfalfa clover, and it will bloom in a 

 few days. My father, R. Davenport, has 

 been in the bee-business 64 years. I think 

 I am learning bee-ology very well. I have 

 not much book-sense, though I have made 

 a success of the farm, and why not make a 

 success of bees ? F. J. R. Davenport.
