until we appropriate it and act upon it; 

 then it becoaies iu a measure our own, 

 tho it may not b« original. I find, too, 

 that we may read the writings of a per- 

 son and be deeply interested, but when 

 wo tooie to see the person, it adds new 

 interest, and we immediately associate 

 his writings with him, making it seem 

 more as if he were speaking directly to 

 us. 



In looking over leading articles in the 

 Bee Journal, and the names attacht I 

 think, " Yes, I have seen them ; I know 

 them ; they are ray friends, " and I am 

 glad. Dr. C. C. Miller is associated in 

 my mind with a dear uncle, because of 

 his resemblance; while Dr. Mason re- 

 minds me of a dear brother who has 

 gone Home, having finisht his course 

 and kept the faith. The fact of his 

 being a Baptist Deacon does not lessen 

 the resemblance. 



Well, I am glad I attended the conven- 

 tion at Buffalo, tho the demand of 

 friends did not permit me to take it all 

 in. Mbs. D. N. Brown.

Good Crop in Ne-w Jersey. 



The honey crop has been a very good 

 one in New Jersey this year — better 

 than ever was known before.

Bee -Keepings in Georgia. 



I have fifty colonies, most of them in 

 the 8 frame Dixie hive. I have 400 

 pounds of good honey taken during 

 April and May — our best honey, and 

 there is none better. It comes from the 

 gall berry, which grows in low, flat places, 

 about the branches and creeks. In this 

 latitude bees can get flowers to work on 

 10 months in the year. The bee-moth 

 is fearfully bad here. I have lost eight 

 colonies already with the moth.

Graceful Acknowledgements. 



I am well satisfied with the American 

 Bee Journal, as almost every number is 

 a source of new ideas and general 

 knowledge in beedom, which comes very 

 handy to the beginner. I had some 

 opportunity to compare the American 

 Bee Journal to-day with what it was 10 

 or 12 years ago, as I had a few volumes 

 of it for perusal, and, justly, I must de- 

 clare that I find it greatly impioved now. 



Please accept my thanks in a general 

 way, as well as in particular, for all 

 those articles from which I could derive 

 some practical use directly, as, for in- 

 stance, the non-swarming device de- 

 scribed by H. Rauchfuss, on page 230 ; 

 it workt like a charm. The bees made 

 themselves acquainted with the other 

 hive close by, and did not go far to hunt 

 for a new home, but selected the new 

 house for their new home; that settled 

 the swarming. 



The contribution by \V. P. Paylor, on 

 page 370, was quite as welcome to me as 

 were some answers of Dr. C. C. Miller, 

 in his department. The latter is a 

 mighty good thing to spread knowledge 

 of the apiary, but a good many people 

 seem to misunderstand the privilege of 

 it, by asking the same questions over 

 and over, again and again, instead of 

 reading and using the advice which was
