NOllTH AMEIUCAN BEE-KEEPERS ASSOCIATION. 



The next Annual Session of this Association will 

 be held in the City Hall, in Rochester, N. Y., October 

 38, 39, and 30, 1884. First session to be held 1 p.m., 

 Tuesday, Oct. 38. 



Essays Avill be read as follows: " Neotar," by Prof. 

 A. J. Cook, of Michigan; "Wintering Bees," by W. 

 F. Clarke, of Canada; "Marketing Honey," by T. G. 

 Newman, of Illinois; " Foul Brood," by D. A. Jones, 

 of Canada. 



The remainder of the time will be occupied in 

 discussing other topics of general interest, such as 

 " New Races of Bees and their Crosses," "Best Meth- 

 od of Producing Box Honey," "Best Method of Pro- 

 ducing Extracted Honey," "Prevention of Swarm- 

 ing," "Artificial Pasturage," "Best Size of Sec- 

 tions," etc. 



At the last meeting of the North-Eastern Bee- 

 Keepers' Association, Messrs. C. R. Isham, F. C. 

 Benedict, and L. S. Newman, were appointed a 

 Committee to secure a hall for these meetings, and 

 make necessary arrangements for hotel accommo- 

 dations. These gentlemen arc fully conipetent, and 

 those attending the convention may lie assured 

 that all details pertaining to their comfort will be 

 attended to. 



Reduced rates over the N. Y., West Shore & Buffa- 

 lo Railroad ai-e promised. 



If the bee-keepers of North America take the in- 

 terest in this meeting that the oec-;tsion demands, it 

 will be the most interest iiiji- ami largely attended 

 meeting of bee-keepers cxcr licM in the world. 



It is a matter of national iaterest, and it need 

 hardly be suggested that every prominent paper in 

 the United States and Canada should give it such 

 notice as this growing industry demands. Will all 

 who are interested use their influence in seeing 

 that the notice is thoroughly circulated';' 



L. L. Langstroth, Pres. C. C. Miller, Sec. 



eiiD TYPE F0^ piiE. 



We have still on hand 76 lbs. of our old nonpareil 

 type for sale. For a sample of it, see any late num- 

 ber of Gleanings previous to May 1.5. Also 17 lbs. 

 of Italic, if desired. As it is all jiacked, we can not 

 divide either lot. The lioinaii includes .5 lbs. and 

 over of "logotypes;" that is, the words the, and, 

 that, ino, tUm, etc., are made all on one body, thus 

 facilitating composition. We offer the lot at 20 cts. 

 per lb. A. I. ROOT, Medina, Ohio. 



Boiler for Sale. 



We offer the steam-boiler we have had in use for 

 sale. It has a 48-inch shell, is 12 feet long, contain- 

 ing 48 three-inch flues. The boiler has been in use 

 about six years; but new flues were put in last 

 Christmas, so that it is virtually almost as good as 

 new. It has never been mjured in any manner 

 whatever. The only reason why we wish to dispose 

 of it is, that we are putting in a larger one, for the 

 Increased demand of our work. We know exactly 

 what a new one like this can be bought for, for we 

 obtained very close figures for putting in another 

 like it, instead of one large one. Such a boiler new, 

 including front grates, etc., will cost at the boiler- 

 shops, $47.5. We otter this just as it is for $225, and 

 warrant it perfect in every respect.
