report tbe proceedings of bee-conventions ? 

 She could earn pin money and more, too, 

 in this way, and bee-keepers might be able 

 to get a full report of proceedings in lan- 

 guage that they could understand. 



I read in Farm and Fireside that F. 

 Greiner was at the Buffalo meeting, and 

 that he happened in at a time when there 

 was some talk going on that he did not care 

 to bear. Perhaps I had better retrain from 

 repeating his comments on what he heard. 

 It is fortunate that the episode which gave 

 occasion for the talk referred to is ended. 



On page (>7."i Editor York, or his devil, or 

 somebody else at 118 Michigan street, made 

 me say that I had "razed" some of my 

 hives having entrances cut in the hive- 

 bodies. What I did say. or intended to 

 say, was that I had r(i:enl some of these 

 hives. As the folks at 118 Michigan street 

 have to mend a good deal more of my 

 manuscript than they mangle. I have not 

 much to say in the way of complaint. 



Enclo.sed find one dollar to make me a 

 member of the United States -Bee-Keepers' 

 Union, and may it help to make some honey 

 adulterator feel as it he had rather be .sit- 

 ting on a hot gridiron.

Bees and Poultry. 



I commenced last spring with ,57 colonies, 

 had 105 swarms, and 4,.520 pounds of honey. 

 Bees went into winter quarters in the best 

 condition they ever have since I have been 

 in the bee-business. Fancy poultry goes 

 with bees complete. I have a fine lot of 

 over 300 chickens not sold ; they are beau- 

 ties — barred and white Plymouth Rocks 

 and S. L Wyandottes. My poultry took 

 first premiums at our county fair over 

 quite a lot of competitors.

Good Season with, the Bees. 



I am very much pleased with the Bee

 season with my bees this year, but did not 

 get much honey. Geo. H. Porter.
