NO. 16. 



Mr. Alleii Priiigle, of Selby, Ont., 

 favored the Bee Joukxal with a pleasant 

 call last Saturday. He has come to Chi- 

 cago to remain during the World's Fair, as 

 he has charge of the exhibit of honey and 

 bee-appliances for the Province of Ontario. 

 In Mr. Pringle our Canadian friends have 

 an excellent and able representative — one 

 who will bring honor to the country and 

 cause he represents, and credit to himself 

 for the wisdom and skill that he will exer- 

 cise in carefully looking after Ontario's 

 characteristically fine apicultural exhibit. 



Extractors siiicl Extracting' is to 



be the very timely special subject for con- 

 sideration in the May Bee- Keepers'' Eetiew. 

 The April number, which is just received 

 ( AjDril 13th) , is an unusually valuable one — 

 not devoted to any special topic, but giving 

 the final "round up" on ''self-hivers," a 

 good description of Mr. Langdon's " largest 

 house-apiary in the world," and other ex- 

 ceedingly interesting and valuable •• bee- 

 talk." 



In commenting upon our new department 

 of " General Questions," Bro. Hutchinson 

 says: "Bro. York is certainly working 



hard to make his journal ' worth its keep,' 



as friend Hasty says." 



On another page of the same issue, just 



before so very kindly quoting in full Bro. 

 Root's editorial, as published on page 455 of 

 last week's Bee Jouknal. Bro. Hutchinson 

 writes thus about editorial work : 



There is no one who notices so soon the 

 presence or absence of editorial work in a 

 paper as the editor of a similar journal. I 

 have several times noticed the large amount 

 of editorial work done by Bro. York, of the 

 American Bee Journal, but I doubt if I 

 could have expressed myself quite so nicely 

 on this point as has Bro. Root in GJeanings.., 



jflr. "%Vm. McEvoy, whose picture 

 and sketch we published on page 393, will 

 very soon write fully his methods of curing 

 foul brood, for the readers of the Bee Jour- 

 nal. This notice will answer many of the 

 requests that have been sent to him. to 

 Prof. Shaw, of the Ontario Agricultural 

 College, and to us, desiring that Mr. Mc- 

 Evoy describe his methods of treating that 

 dreaded bee-disease. As soon as received, 

 we will give Mr. M.'s article first place, in 

 order that those most interested may at 

 once take advantage of the information 

 given. 



l>r. C C. Miller, of Marengo. Ills., 

 was in Chicago several days the latter part 

 of last week, to set up the apiarian'exhibit 

 of Bro. A. I. Root, of Medina. O.. at the 

 World's Fair grounds. We had a most de- 

 lightful visit from the Doctor, who is just 

 as jovial and young-hearted as can be, re- 

 gardless of the 60 years that have helped to 

 thin and grey his hair somewhat. No bee- 

 keeper can afford to miss meeting him at 

 the coming North American convention in 

 this city, where the Doctor will preside, as 

 well as cheer with his happy smiles and 

 harmless wiles.
