have, bright, clear suoshine, altho the 

 bees are done for this year. We were 

 happy to make and put up the biggest 

 and finest second crop of tame hay; 

 some of it yields two and three tons per 

 acre. This fioe weather Is also very 

 much desired for threshing and other 

 fall work on the farm, and for getting 

 the bees ready for winter. Some of 

 them have to be fed. We did not have 

 one full week of sunshine, or without 

 rain, all summer until now. Most of the 

 grain was cut and stackt moist.

A Long Honey- Yield, Etc. 



Bees are doing well. I past an alfalfa 

 field in full bloom today, literally alive 

 with bees. It has been one continual 

 flow of honey from March 1 up to date, 

 for the Italians. They commenced gath- 

 ering Feb. 1, but did not commence 

 storing until March 1 — 8 months. They 

 will still gather more than they consume 

 up to Dec. 1. 



The excuse almost every one makes Is 

 that we do not want any Eastern bee- 

 paper, as It Is all filled with the winter- 

 ing problem. I distributed some extra 

 copies of the American Uee Journal, and 

 one man was here this morning and said ; 

 "By (leorge. Dock, I got some good 

 points out of that article of yours that 



I never had thought of before," I replied, 

 "If you will subscribe for the Bee Jour- 

 nal you will get more, as they are going 

 to come right along." Dr. E. Gallup. 

 Orange Co., Calif., Sept. 25. 



Another Way to Destroy Ants. 



Put a few cents' worth of corrosive 

 sublimate Into a bottle and pour water 

 upon it. It will soon be ready for use, 

 but as it is very poisonous care must be 

 taken not to get It on the hands, and 

 children should not be allowed to use ar- 

 ticles upon which it is placed. If food 

 can be kept on a table, or In a cupboard 

 with legs, poison the legs for several in- 

 ches from the floor by rubbing them 

 thoroughly with a swab dipt in the solu- 

 tion. If a platform is under the cup- 

 board, poison It entirely around. Keep 

 the bottle carefully corktin a safe place, 

 and In a few weeks repeat the process if 

 necessary. It is best to prepare the 

 solution yourself, as that which you buy 

 is often too weak to be effectual. After 

 much experience I have never known it 

 to fall.— Helen S. Norton, In Michigan 

 Farmer.
