What Otbers Say of It. 



"The retinlng InHuence of music in almost 

 any form is generally acknowledged, but 

 most of us are unable to appreciate ' Songs 

 without words ' Therefore, every publication 

 which serves to wed the poetry of the heart 

 to the compositions of musical masters is a 

 blessing. As such, I esieem the collection 

 entitled 'Sweet Sacred Songs' very highly." - 

 A. J. Canfieli), Pastor St. Paul's Church, 

 Chicago. 



•' It is no false pretense to claim that this Is 

 ' a collection of the best and most popular 

 devotional selections gathered from the 

 greatest composers of Sacred Music' It is 

 a casket of precious gems that ought to be 

 in every choir, and in every home where there 

 are lovers of sacred song."— P. S. Henson, 

 Pastor First Baptist Church. Chicago. 



"It is a choice collection of the finest devo- 

 tional music now in general use In church 

 choirs and among singers in the home. We 

 know of no collection of sacred music now be- 

 fore the public which coutains so large a 

 uumberof the finest compositions In sacred 

 pong pubtisbt at such a moderate price." —

A GENUINE 



Egg Preservative 



That will keep Hen's Eggs perfectly through 

 warm weather, just as good as fresh ones for 

 cooking and frosting. One man paid 10 cents 

 a dozen for the eggs he preserved, and then 

 later sold them for ^5 cents a dozen. Vou can 

 preserve them for about 1 ceut i>oi* dozen. 

 Now Is the time to do It. while eggs are cheap.

Watering Bees. 



I have tried several ways of watering 

 bees, and find a common stone crock the 

 best. Cut a board '.j inch smaller than the 

 diameter of the crock, then bore several V 

 holes in it, and fill each hole with a wick. 

 Put more boards under it, when water- 

 soakt, so as to keep it a little above water 

 level. Michael Haas. 



Wintered Well. 



I am well pleased with the Bee Journal, 

 and can hardly wait until each number 

 comes. I have 41 colonies of bees, which 

 wintered in the cellar, and lost only one 

 colony. Bees are late here compared with 

 other places, of which I read in the Bee 

 Journal. Ellis E. Snyder.

A S'warm Notifier. 



I am always glad to get my Bee Journal. 

 I enjoy reading Dr. Miller's answers to 

 questions. I am a beginner, started with 4 

 colonies in the spring of 1896, and have 8 

 now. I had only one swarm in 1896. The 

 bees didn't do much good. I think they 

 will do better this year. I have had three 

 swarms this spring, and all are doing well. 



I have found a way to fix my colonies to 

 know when they swarm, without watching 

 or paying any attention to them. I made 

 it myself, on account of having to watch 

 them through swaruiiug time, as I have 

 unfortunately got the sort of bees that 

 swarm. I will give my plans for publica- 

 tion it it will be of any use to bee-keepers. 

 I have no patent on it, nor don't know that 

 I ever will have. It is done by electricity, 

 but by proper instructions any one can put 

 them up. J- H. Williamson.

Combs "Bee-Space Apart." 



I am askt the following question, to be 

 answered in the Bee Journal: 



"On page ITS, J. E. Pond explains his 

 method of getting bees to work in supers, 

 but I cannot make out just how far apart 

 from center to center he spaces his frames. 

 He says he spaces frames just bee-space 

 apart. Will he please tell us what "bee- 

 space" is ? He says he gets that bee-space 

 so and so with a 10-frame Langstroth hive, 

 but without having a Langstroth hive or 

 knowing its width, how is one to find the 

 bee-space ? Inquirer." 



In reply to the querist, who asks my 

 method of spacing frames " bee-space 

 apart," I will say that I use the " Sim- 

 plicity-Langstroth hive," 10-frame; in one 

 side I put a '^-inch thick dummy, filling the 

 side of the hive completely. In the space 

 left, I fill in the 10 frames^ spacing evenly 

 apart. It is absolutely and positively neces- 

 sary that the frames should bang plumb 

 and true, else the cells in one side may be 

 deeper than in the other, and the effect 

 spoiled. I find it necessary to space at the 

 bottom as well as at the top of the frames, 

 in order to make tliem hang as true as they 

 ought. J- E. Pond. 



Report for 1896. 



1 can hardly wait from one week to 

 the other until I receive the American Bee 

 Jounutl. It comes everj' friday morning. I 

 am taking three bee-papers at present, and 

 expect to add auotiier soon. If I had taken 

 one or more last year. 1 might have had 

 more honey to sell, and more bees, and in 

 better condition. 1 have only 14 colonies of 

 the common black bees, but they did good
