Swarming;" essay by Charles A. Gile, 

 on "The Queeii-I5ee — Its Rearing Quali- 

 ties, Introduction, Management, Lon- 

 gevity, and Supersedure." 



At the afternoon session the election 

 of officers was (irst in order, and resulted 

 as follows: President, E. B. Huffman ; 

 Secretary, C. A. Gile, of Winona; Treas- 

 urer, Mrs. W. N. Berthe ; 1st Vice- 

 President, John Turnbull; 2nd, W. N. 

 Bates; 3rd, W. ,1. Stahmann ; 4th, Fred 

 Aech ; 5th, John VV. Gates. 



An adjournment was then taken until 

 the next morning, and we met at 9:30 

 o'clock. The day was principally spent 

 in discussions on foul brood, its treat- 

 ment, and the probable chance of get- 

 ting a foul brood law past by our next 

 legislature. It was decided to hold our 

 next annual convention at Winona, Oct. 

 22 and 23, 1898. After a friendly and 

 very social and interesting meeting, we 

 adjourned, and all went to the Exhibi- 

 tion Hall, where we had an enjoyable 

 time viewing the many awards.

Sells from House to House. 



I have 30 colonies of bees, and got a 

 nice lot of honey this year. I have sold 

 all of my crop in the city, and will have 

 to buy a lot to keep my customers sweet. 

 1 sell from house to house, and have 

 many honey-eaters to keep happy.

A Very Dry Time. 



We have not had a good rain since the 

 middle of June, nor have we had enough 

 to lay the dust in eight weeks. Every- 

 thing in the vegetation line Is just simply 

 burnt up. Bees must be fed, or starve. 

 I never saw as dry a time in this coun- 

 try. Peaches and winter apples are 

 drying up and dropping; fruit-trees are 

 dying, and many of the forest trees are 

 dead. I hope for a better season next 

 year. Geo. W. Williams.

Cows Relish the Sweet Clover. 



We are having a severe drouth in this 

 part of the country. Vegetation is all 

 dried up. The only green thing here 

 now is the sweet clover, of which there 

 is a good growth from last year's seed, 

 along the public roads. It Is the only 

 feed we have for our two Jersey milch 

 cows, and they relish it very much. So 

 much for the sweet clover. 



Our bees are done working for this 

 season. I will send In my report soon.

Hog Meat Defended. 



I take Issue with Dr. Peiro on the hog 

 question, as given on page 559. I have 

 been a hog-raiser as well as a bee-keeper. 

 A hog, like his brother man, is largely 

 what he eats. 1 admit that the lard put 

 up by large packing companies becomes 

 stale and unfit for food, and the bacon 

 and hams not much better, sometimes; 

 but a hog of good pedigree, raised on 

 alfalfa and corn, properly cured, is very 

 good food. Just think of it, as the cold 

 weather comes on — the roast pork and 

 sweet potatoes, sausage, ribs, backbone, 

 head-cheese, and then the sweet sugar-
