most completely, the foundation very 

 thin, and it has about it a soft, tender 

 look that is difficult to describe. Mr. 

 Weiss says that he has a peculiar method

 and I can well believe him. 



The American Bee Journ.\l has 

 commenced a series of articles by an 

 English bee-keeper, Mr. C. N. White.

■ A Foul-Brood Leaflet, on the same 

 lines as the honey leaflet, is being gotten 

 out by the Roots. It will be sent out free 

 of charge, or, at least, at only a nominal 

 price. 



My Brother Elmer consented to 

 '•dress up," shoulder an axe, put on the 

 proper expression, and po.se as a ' 'settler, ' '

 graph of the willow herb that appears as 

 a frontispiece this month. 



Heddon's few lines in the last Review- 

 express my feelings and position. My 

 business in the city has lost its charms.

The American Bef-Keeper has a 

 frontispiece this month; but it isn't of 

 honey posies such as the Review has been

 This issue also has an article from 

 manager Secor upon "The Power of

 the next meeting of the United States 

 Bee-Keepers' Union. Here is the notice

 Dr. A. B. Mason. 



Editor oe Review: — Please say in the 

 next issue of your journal that after thor- 

 ougly con.sidering the matter of the place 

 for holding the next convention of the 

 United States Bee-Keepers' Union, the 

 executive committee has decided in favor 

 of Omaha, Nebr., as the place, and prob- 

 ably early in October as the time, but the 

 exact da'te will doubtless be fixed by 

 Bro. Whitcomb, who has in charge the 

 securing of reduced railroad and hotel 

 rates, etc. 



A short time since he sent me some 

 particulars regarding rates from which I

 fare for the romid trip, except their rates 

 from the following points, which will be

 St. Louis, I17; Denver, $25. Tickets will
