filled, too. Brood-chamber looks ready 

 to bust ! 



" Now," thinks I to myself, " I'll just 

 put an empty super in the place of that 

 (illed one, and fool 'em 1" This morning, 

 early, I prepared one and placed it, and 

 I have no doubt from the present pros- 

 pect they'll fill it, too. If they do, that 

 will be 96 sections for one colony. Of 

 course, that isn't 500 pounds, but I'll be 

 satisfied. 



And here is the sequel : I had just 

 finisht my work, took off my veil, let the 

 smoker smudge out, and was contem- 

 plating the wonderful nature of bees, 

 when I heard around me a persistent 

 whispering, coming nearer and nearer. 

 Then I noticed that it was one of those 

 self-sacrificing Italians flirting with me. 

 just as if I were a young man, telling me 

 all sorts of things, in a high soprano key. 



Of course I resented such familiarity 

 (my wife was looking just then), but (do 

 you know?) that bee stubbornly persisted, 

 and before I could prevent it shekist me 

 — a hot one — right on my lips — the for- 

 ward thing 1 



I tried to explain my innocence to my 

 " better half," but she only winkt her 

 other eye, intimating that she knew a 

 thing or two, and my excuses wouldn't 

 go. Now, I leave it to you, Mr. Editor, 

 were I really to blame? 



Cook Co., 111., July 29. E. M. Dee. 



[Yes, we think you were just a little 

 to blame, 'i'ou should never notice a 

 " flirting Italian," no matter how much 

 she " whispers " to you. Next time keep 

 your veil on until you are safely in the 

 house, and your " better half " won't 

 have occasion to wink either eye at you.

Doing Well in New Mexico. 



I have 112 colonies of bees doing well. 

 I have 95 cases of 2-i-pounds to the 

 case taken ofl', and AG more to take off 

 next week ; and I give the American 

 Bee Journal due credit for some of my 

 success. It is choice alfalfa honey, and 

 another flow of alfalfa to hear from yet.

Sweet Clover. 



Melilotus alba bears a close resem- 

 blance to alfalfa, but it is "larger and 

 coarser every way, and is especially 

 adapted for use on calcarious soils. It 

 will make an excellent growth on lime 

 lands, even on the ' rotten limstone ' hills 

 and on soils so barren that they will sus- 

 tain no other plants ; but it is of almost 

 no value on the red clays and tne sandy 

 pine woods soils, which contain little 

 lime. It is a biennial plant, making 

 ordinarily only a moderate growth the 

 first season, but during the second sea- 

 son it will grow from four to seven feet 

 in height, if not cut, and make stronger 

 and heavier roots than any other forage 

 plant. At the end of the second season 

 it matures its seed and dies and the roots 

 then decay quickly." 



As regards its uses, "It is not generally 

 liked by animals unaccustomed to it, but 

 as it starts into growth very early in the 

 spring, when other green forage is scarce, 

 stock turned on it at that time soon ac- 

 quire a taste for it and eat it readily 

 through the remainder of the season. 

 When grown for hay, one and sometimes
