Enough to discourage ainoiic. Ill health, 

 big doctor bills, no pleasure in life; blue and 

 disc'ouraged. AVhat'.s the matter? Simply 

 this. You can't worlv well, play well or ' 

 sleep well xinlil your body is iu good healthy 

 condition, and you can't kecp'the body in 

 good healthy condition if you allow disease 

 to once get a fi>nt-hold. It" is for this reason 

 that a bottle cif

is so valuable iu Tie lic.use. It is ready ^^i](■u

The Astep as a Honey-Plant. 



The Willi asters ai'e now in full bloom. 

 Hees ai'e jtjsl tumbling over each other be- 

 I ween showei's, i^atherin}^ nectar from them. 

 The aster is to the bee-industry here what 

 sweet clover is around Chicairo. To look- 

 about and see the corn standing in the shock, 

 the leaves on the trees turning brown and 

 red, and to hear the crickets sounding the 

 near approach of winter, it seems to one 

 almost like a turning back oE the natural 

 order of things for the bees to be gatherings 

 such quantities of honey. Truly, the aster is 

 a wonderful plant in its secretion of nectar,

A Rather Poor Season. 



This has been a rather poor season in this 

 M-clioii. There was too much wet weather 

 and cold winds. The fall flow from mother- 

 wort, catnip, tigwort and heartsease bas been 

 nuite good, and the bees go into winter quar- 

 ters in good shape. The prospects for a good 

 season next year have never been better,

Poorest Year in 27. 



I have kept bees ever since I was a boy of 

 IU years, which is 37 years. 1 have never 

 seen such a poor year as this has been. I 

 had t'J colonies, spring count, increased to iS, 

 and from these I received -li13 pounds of 

 honey. The white clover is in bloom yet, but 

 not a drop of honey is coming in.

Carver Co., .Minn., Oct. 2, 



Better Results than Expected. 



A few weeks more will tell the story of 

 another honey-year. No doubt many of the 

 hopes that were budded in the early part of 

 the season have been filled with disappoint- 

 ment. Who has seen a season like this ? First 

 too dry, and then too cool ; with plenty of 

 brood and plenty of bees in June. With all 

 the ups and downs the season will end better 

 than one could expect. 



My bees kept swarming along from June 30 

 until almost the tirst of .September. The last 

 swarms have nearly tilled their hives. 



Some fields are white with white clover, 

 and sinartweed is almost beyond all records, 

 but it has been too cool to gather to any great 

 e.xtent. The best day for one colony on the 

 .scales this fall (Aug. 38) was 8 pounds: and 

 Sept. 7, .I'j pounds. 



The prospects are fine for another year. I 

 never saw a better setting of white clover 

 than there is this fall. 



How do you do. Dr. (Jallup ; I am so glad 

 you have taken the floor and told us so many 

 startling facts about i|ueen-rearing. Then, 

 the other side .justifying themselves by saying 

 we agree with Dr. (iallup, but have improved 

 these old methods! The experience with the 

 i|Ueensone buys speaks louder than all the 

 plausible theories c|ueen-breeders are pleased 

 to write. I never have i;eceived a queen 

 through the mail that lived more than one 

 year, The^' were all fairly good queens. But 

 their daughters were much more prolific, yet 

 hardly any longer-lived. 



I think I have one experience that requires 

 a new record. I had a colony that cast a 

 swarm June 20, then a week later I cut out 

 all f|ueen-cells and gave them a frame of 

 brood, from a fine queen I got from Ohio. On 

 that frame they built one queen-cell, a very 

 poor looking cell. I paid but little attention 

 to them, only I noticed, to my surprise, in 

 about five weeks they were getting ver.v 

 strong, and I thought what a difference in the 

 rolony of bees. Then about the middle of
