and of course this makes it hard to sell 

 for a good price and get the cash, as 

 they generally trade It out ; but I prefer 

 to sell at a low price, and he sure to get 

 the cash, than to ship to the large cities 

 and get little or nothing after the com- 

 mission man gets through with It. 



Most people buy honey as a luxury, 

 and eat It only once or twice a year ; 

 and if they are poor working people 

 they buy cheap corn syrups to sweeten 

 their children with. They seem to 

 think honey Is too good for them, but 

 when honey comes- down In price to that 

 of sugar, and is kept for sale as sugar In 

 all towns and stores, it will be more 

 often seen on the tables of the poor. 



The prospects for a fall flow are good. 

 My 3.5 colonies are in good condition to 

 gather 1,00U pounds if we have good 

 weather, as there is lots of smartweed 

 on the low bottom lands. 



I should like to go to the big conven- 

 tion In Buffalo, but I can't get away. So 

 I will stay at homo and read In the 

 American Bee Journal of the big times 

 ye editors have. G. E. Nel.son.

Report for the Season, 



My bees did not winter well last win- 

 ter ; they got the diarrhea in the spring, 

 and I lost 40 colonies. Then I had 50 

 left, and they were poor and weak. 

 Some of them swarmed out three times. 

 I got them up, and then some were 

 queenless. I then equalized tliem, and 

 by the first of June they were in good 

 condition. On June 8 they began to 

 swarm, and I had 35 swarms. 



The honey season was good till July 

 15, but since then there has been no 

 honey, and it is very dry here, so that 

 the flowers are all dried up. I have sold 

 my honey In the home market for 12J^ 

 and 13 cents, except 400 pounds that I 

 have on hand. I secured 2,500 pounds 

 this year. 



I went to see my neighbor yesterday, 

 who has 30 colonies. I askt how big 

 his crop of honey was. "O, not much; 

 I have it all in a crock," was his reply. 

 He said the bees swarmed too much, and 

 that the bees in this vicinity did not do 

 much on that account.

Averaged Better Than Ever. 



I am taking off honey as fast as my 

 limited number of escapes will admit. I 

 am selling honey at present In 12-sec- 

 tion cases, at 12 cents per pound, but 

 the bulk of it will have to be sold at 10 

 cents. All the honey hereabouts is of 

 the finest quality white clover. My bees 

 have averaged more per colony than 

 ever before, and they have done nearly 

 all their swarming in the afternoon, 

 from 3 to 4 p.m. 



I think we should change the name of 

 the New Union, as well as some other 

 things In the Constitution. What's the 

 matter with the " North Amerlcati Bee- 

 Keepers' Alliance " for a name ? I hope 

 the organization will secure money 

 enough to get down to business right 

 soon. S. H. Hkrrick.
