GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Jan. 1. 



voice that bids me let reason rule, and not im- 

 pulse; that bids us all, in the language of our 

 text, be " worthy of the vocation wherewith we 

 are called, with all lowliness and meekness, 

 with longsutfering, forbearing one another in 

 love." The last caps the climax of it all. 

 When you feel it is your duty to reprove, re- 

 buke, or remonstrate, let me beg of you to do it 

 in these words—" Forbearing one another in 

 love." . . 



Now may God's Holy Spirit help you, as it is 

 helping me. to be slow, and to wait until you 

 can use just the words, just the manner, and in 

 just the place, that will count strongest for 

 Christ Jesus.

A COMrLI.MKNTAKY XOTICK OF GLEANINGS. 



The editor of the American Bee Journal 

 gives us the following very kind notice in his 

 journal, page 8:30: 



We congratulate Brother Root upon the fact that 

 Gleanings has reached, and even passed, the ten 

 tliousaud circulatlou, which it set out to do some 

 months ago. Gleanings richly deserves tills mark 

 of public favor, for it is beautifully in'inted and care- 

 fully edited. If the reader desires to false another 

 bee-periodical besides the American Bee jDuniil. we 

 shall be pleased to send it and Gle.\nings for $1.75 a 

 year, or both these and the IUuM)atcd Hume Journal 

 for $2.15. This is a rare opportunity to secure three 

 good periodicals for about tue regular price of two. 



As we have before stated, we make the same 



EDITOl^I^Ii. 



The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his 

 glory to pass over a transgression — Pkov. 19: 11. 



Stray' Stkaws is no longer an experiment. 

 '• It takes."' and we're going to make it lead off. 



THE NEBRASKA BEE-KEEPER. 



This is the title of a new bee-journal, edited 

 and published by Stilson & Sons, York, Neb. 

 It is issued monthly, and contains 12 pages and 

 a cover. Its general appearance and make-up 

 are good. The price is .50 cents per annum. 



THE MICHIGAN BEE-KEEPEIIS' ASSOCIATION. 



By' some inexcusable oversight on our part, 

 we omitted to give notice of the State conven- 

 tion, to be held in Detroit. January 1 and 2. 

 This notice will hardly be in time to be of any 

 use: but its non-appearance can not be attrib- 

 uted to the secretary, Mr. Geo. E. Hilton. The 

 senior editor will be present. 



THE BEE -KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



The December issue of that sprightly month- 

 ly is now on our table. It is enlarged to 28 

 pages, with a tinted cover. The price is .?1.00 

 per annum. The frontispiece, or the design on 

 the cover, is superb, and ]\Ir. Hutchinson is to 

 be congratulated upon the tine appearance of 

 his paper as well as the general excellence of 

 its subject-mattei\ 



MORE ROOM. 



We find that the demands upon our space are 

 excessive: a:Kl for the present, at least, we 

 have decided to make all answers or " toot- 

 notes," as they are called, and editorials, solid, 

 like the correspondence. Tbis will give us over 

 one whole extra page every issue, or one whole 

 extra issue during the year. For distinction, 

 foot-notes will always be put inside of brackets. 



LIFE-MEMBERSHIP IN TUE N. A. B. K. A. 



Bro. Newman, of the American Bee Joi/c- 

 ?i((?, savs that it is ten vears since he paid the 

 fee of ^ilO.OO for life-membership in the N. A. B. 

 K. A., and he says: "We already have our 

 nione.y back in annual fees for the -^lO.OO." The 

 following is the present revised list. 



D. A. Jones. Beeton, Ont. 

 Thomas G. Newman. Chicago, III. 

 A. I. Root, Medina, O. 



E. R. Root, Medina. O. 

 J. T. Calvert. Medina. O. 

 Charles Dadant. Hamilton, 111. 

 C. P. Dadant, Hamilton, 111. 

 Eugene Secor, Forest City, la. 

 Dr. C. C. JNIiller. Marengo. 111. 

 O. R. Coc. Windham, N, Y. 



Remember that, after becoming a life-mem- 

 ber, you are not necessarily obliged to attend 

 the meetings: but you do thereby give the so- 

 ciety a big leverage for the accomplishment of 

 much good to bee-keepers. 



CASH COMMISSION TO LOCAL .VGENTS. 



To any one who will take the trouble to can- 

 vass his neighborhood, and call the attention of 

 bee-men, hy personal intervieir. to the merits of 

 our journal, we will allow a cash commission of 

 2.5 cts., providing that all names so obtained are 

 taken for not less than $1.00. and that he does 

 not advertise for less than that price. No one
