gold." This quotation is sometimes used 

 without it's full meaning, but this time it 

 is literally true. I could not tell just 

 whether I wanted uiirlipt or dipt queens, 

 until I heard from Dr. Miller, aud wheu 

 swarming-time came 1 found it no mistake 

 to have " her majesty's" liberties curtailed, 

 and nothing could be better to accomplish 

 this bit of surgery than tbe Clipping De- 

 vice. Then I use it in preference to any- 

 thing else with which to pick up the queen 

 when swarming. 



Some times it is a question in the minds 

 of some whether to use comb foundation or 

 not. There is no satisfaction in the busi- 

 ness without it. 



There are a few things I purchast which 

 are utterly useless to me, and will be the 

 same to many beginners. One among them 

 is a certain "queen-trap." I gave .50 cents 

 for it. I have never used it once, and never 

 expect to. A good deal of money could be 

 saved if we knew what was real practical, 

 and what was real useful to the manufac- 

 turer Oltll/. 



I have had seven swarms up to date, and 

 find it more of a pleasure than a task to 

 have everything ready, and properly house 

 them. 



In conclusion, change the name of the 

 New Union to •■ Combine," or some other 

 good name which has been suggested, and 

 the adulterant will drive members into the 

 fold. I will come myself.

Clover Better than for Years. 



Bees in this part of the world are in very 

 poor condition. Winter losses have been 

 more than for many years, but vphat are 

 left are doing very well on fruit-bloom, of 

 which there is an abundance. Tbe prospect 

 for fruit is splendid. White clover is look- 

 ing better than for years.

Against the New Drawn Foundation. 



I wish to express myself as not favoring 

 the idea of drawn foundation. In the first 

 place, it cannot be shipt in good condition 

 without trouble. Then it must be neces- 

 sarily expensive. Lastly, if it would add 

 to the quantity of honey already produced, 

 it would tend to make the honey-product 

 cheaper on the market than it is this year, 

 which has reacht the lowest price yet, and 

 California's crop of 425 carloads were cut 

 off, but will be on hand this year to in- 

 crease the supply. Parties in our section 

 have gotten no returns from their honey 

 yet, that was shipt to reliable dealers last 

 September. They shipt several carloads of 

 comb honey to different Eastern cities, and 

 the market has been so flooded that they 

 have not sold it all out up to this date. If 

 all the comb honey can't now be sold be- 

 fore it gets candled, and California left out, 

 I would like to ask what the case would be 

 if drawn foundation becomes a success, and 

 California gets her usual heavy crops. 

 These are only suggestions.

White Clover — Adulterators. 



On my return to my home (from Florida) 

 April K!, every colony of bees answered to 

 roll call ; this is unusual in my experience 

 as a bee-keeper. With what pleasure 1 

 walkt around the apiary after an absence 

 of four months, and received a joyous wel- 

 come from my little pets, gaily sporting, 

 and carrying in heavy loads of pollen ! 

 There is a bow of promise in the bee-keep- 

 er's horizon, for beneath our feet is a soft 

 carpet made Ijy the tiny leaves of the white 

 clover; we recognize in it the familiar face 

 of an old friend, absent for five years, but 

 not forgotten, aud we extend to it a hearty 

 welcome. 



The adulterators workt a very successful 

 game upon our honey-bees, in this city.
