Is this 

 Monopoly? 



Lots of lies have 



been told about 



tbe Rural Mail 



li o X business. 



Here are tbe 



facts. There are 



14 approved 



bo.xes and with 



the makers it is "everybody 



for himself and the devil 



take the hiadermost." We 



plead puilty to gettiufj the 



iioii's share of the business. 



simply because our box has such "win- 



uiufj way." Write us and learn about it.

Atwater. This feeder is cheap, easily made, 

 and one of the best feeders in existence. Mr. 

 Atwater followed this by a short talk on 

 queen-rearing, and the importance of rearing 

 our own queens from the best stock obtain- 

 able. 



A State Association was also formed, its 

 purpose being to protect the bee-keepers of 

 the State, and to keep diseased colonies of 

 bees from being shipped. We also have a bee- 

 inspector for foul-brood, etc. 



This section of the country is full of bees, 

 and short pasture will soon be the next draw- 

 back. H. M. Ruddock, Hn-.

The Boston Honey Market. 



There is a good opportunity for honest 

 lioney-producers to cultivate a market in Bos- 

 ton and vicinity. Not a quarter the honey is 

 consumed that should be. 



I have seen some very fancy white comb 

 honey there and have had occasion to sample 

 different lots, but so far I have not found any 

 equal to our Aroostook clover and whitewood 

 honey. I suppose it is there, but there is cou- 

 siderable honey on the market that is fine in 

 appearance but lacks that fine flavor found in 

 lioney from more northern latitQdes.

White Clover May NotcDo Much. 



We have about 600 colonies of bees for the 

 coming season, but fear that white clover will 

 not do much tlie coming season, as the jmst 

 summer was so dry that the greater part of it 

 was killed out; however, we have two 

 chances for a crop, as our bees are all located 

 where heartsease is plentiful and yields fully 

 half our surplus, as well as furnishing a 

 bountiful supply of excellent food for winter. 



The past three years have been very satis- 

 factory to us. Frank Coverdale.

An Old Bee-Keepep. 



Last spring I had 5 colonies and now have 

 12 (if they come through all right) without 

 boxes on. 



I took off last year something over 400 

 pounds of extracted honey, worth here 12 

 cents per pound. 



I am not able to do any heavy work, but I 

 think I can do a little and put in the time 

 more satisfactorily than to be idle. I am 

 nearing my TBth year. 



We have a quantity of honey-locust, and a 

 lot of linden, which lasts quite a while; also 

 white clover, then white sweet clover along 

 the roadsides. I still like to work at bee- 

 keeping rather than be idle.

Hauling Bees with Open Hive-En = 

 trances. 



A case is reported in Gleanings in Bee-Cul- 

 ture as having been successfully accomplished 

 by Adin Stone. While it might not be wise 

 for most persons to try such a thing, it is 

 well enough to know what can be done. He 

 says; 



I had about one mile to move, and ai»ut as 

 many hives as I could place on a lumlwr- 

 wagon as they sat in the apiary. I loaded 

 them in as they sat, first using the smoker to 

 drive the bees inside. I hitched a horse to the 

 load and drove to my destination; unhitching 

 the horse from the wagon, I waited until 

 morning, when I put them on their stands. 

 These were full colonies in eight-frame hives, 

 Hoffman self-spacing frames, loose bottom- 

 boards, 34-inch enlran-'e full width of both
