A HORSE BUYER 



He usually proceeds with caution. If a stranger 

 should offer him a well known animal at a "cut rate' 

 he would insist on a bitlof sale from the former owner. 

 Wise fence buyers who are offered the Coiled Spring 

 article by other parties should ask to see a licence from

Bees Had a Fine Flight. 



January o was a fine day, the mercury 

 going up to M degrees In the shade. There 

 was no snow, and the ground was dry and 

 nice. The bees had a fine flight, and workt 

 clearing out the hives, as on a spring day. 

 The past honey season was good in this 

 county, and the bees went into winter in 

 fine condition. G. W. Fassett. 



Addison Co., Vt., Jan. 4. 



Looking' for a Good Honey- Year. 



The honey-flow iu this part of the country 

 in ISUtj was a complete failure. In 181)5 my 

 best colony gave me a surplus of l:i5 

 pounds, while this year I did not get a sin- 

 gle pound. Basswood did not yield any 

 honey, neither did white clover, hence the 

 above results. I am looking for a good 

 honey-year iu IS'.IT. We have had excel- 

 lent rains the past fall and this winter. 



Cooper Co., Mo., Jan. 4. F. N. Blank. 



Report for 1896. 



I had 27 colonies last spring, increased to 

 33, got about 1,200 pounds of basswood ex- 

 tracted honey, and 800 pounds of extracted 

 mint or balm honey. Wm. Seemann. 



Grant Co., Wis. 



Past was a Poor Season. 



My 34 colonies are in the cellar, and doing 

 finely. The past season was a poor one 

 here. John Hdbbard. 



Hancock Co., Maine, Dec. 31. 



Best Season for Years. 



The past season was the beat for honey 

 here we have had for a number of years. 

 But there is no sale here for honey. From 

 a part of my hives I did not take any honey. 

 I had all we could use, and no sale for the 

 surplus. D. B. Smiley. 



Lincoln Co., Mo. 



A Promising' Young Bee-Keeper. 



I am iu charge of Mrs. Addle Eddy's bees 

 for the coming year. The past year was a 

 good one for honey, but not for swarms. 

 Our apiary is located about 130 feet from 

 the railroad, and is built upon a platform 

 14 inches high. The jar of the trains do not 

 injure the bees any, as I can see. This is 

 my second year in bee-keeping, and I am 

 not 15 years of age. The Bee Journal has 

 beeu worth twice its price to me.

Otero Co., Colo., Dec. 38. 



Had a Midwinter Flight. 



My 40 colonies are packt with leaves at 

 the three sides — none iu front— and chaff on 

 the top. They are on the summer stands. 

 I have wintered best by this method, as I 

 secure warmth and dryness with needed 

 flights, Jauuary 3 my bees bad a grand 

 flight. I like them to have a midwinter 

 flight. R. D. HOHTON.

A Little Bee Experience, Etc. 



I am a locomotive engineer, and for 

 amusement 1 am keeping a few colonies of 

 bees. My boyhood days were spent in the 

 southern end of the Adirondack mountains, 

 of New York, and one of our chief pleas- 

 ures as boys was hunting wild bees. My 

 folks, as well as .some of our neighbors, 

 used to keep liees in the box-hives, and I 

 well remember, some 35 years ago, how 

 delighted I was to get to go with my mother 

 to visit an old aunt where I could get my
