 To Whom it Concerns : — 



This certifies that we manu- 

 facture " Vello'wzones*' 



for Ur. W. K. House, Detour, 

 Mich., from his own private 

 formula ; and we wish to 

 state that only the purest ingredients 

 that Science has- produced, or that 

 money can buy, are used in their prep- 

 aration. 



We are acting under instructions from 

 Dr. House to spare no pains or expense 

 in making them the very best prepara- 

 tion that the most modern skill can pro- 

 duce. And from our intimate knowledge 

 of them we state unhesitatingly that 

 " Yellowzones" are in every re- 

 spect a most superior remedy. 



We also manufacture " Zonets " 

 for Dr. House from especially fine ingre- 

 dients made by ourselves expressly for 

 these wide-awake little laxatives. 

 Very truly yours.

untinisht sections. The season here has 

 been very similar to what it was where 

 Mr. White lives, and I find myself with 

 a good many untinisht sections on my 

 bands. As soon as I found that the fall 

 flow of honey would notamount to much, 

 I went around and lifted every hive. If 

 any one lifted with too much ease, I 

 went to feeding the bees the unfluisht 

 sections, first feeding those that were 

 sealed. After commencing on those 

 that were sealed, I found that the bees 

 emptied them with too much slowness. 

 Then I went to uncapping the honey, 

 and now it is speedily carried below. 



I feed in a super over the brood 

 frames. There is yet time for Mr. While 

 to market his unfinisht sections to good 

 advantage. Ho need not fear that any 

 colony will get too much if he uses hives 

 of only ordinary size. He will find 

 1000 sections of drawn comb a wonder- 

 ful help at the commencement of the 

 honey-flow next season, but I would ad- 

 vise him to use Taylor's comb leveler on 

 them. EnwiN Ukvins.

Bee-Culture an Agricultural Branch. 



I have just returned from our county 

 fair at Broken Bow, where I have been 

 taking premiums on bees and honey, 

 and trying to do a little for the good of 

 the cause. As yet there are few bees in 

 this part of the country, so there is need 

 of awakening people to their own inter- 

 ests. 



I take the view of Mr. Abbott, of the 

 "Busy Bee," that bee-keeping need not 

 be confined to experts, but should be a 

 branch of agricultural industry — that 

 there is nothing to hinder the average 

 farmer from keeping his table supplied 

 with honey, even as he expects to keep 

 it supplied with butter. A. L. Amos,

Sept. 30 I was in mine and Mrs. C.

 swarm came from the east and tried to
