COWVEJNTION NOTICES. 



IlIK I. OS .\NGEI,ES CONVKNTION". 



.IisT as we go to pi-oss. a note from A. I. 

 Ivoot. addressed to the "folks at home'" comes to 

 hand. .\s we have liad many iiuiuiries regard- 

 ing liiin. aiui the condition of his health, we 

 make an extract from tiie lettci'. which answers 

 for itself. 



Tlif convention is over, and «e \\-avv had a most 

 splendid time-- not a breath of tiisrord. I wanted to 

 write up notes of it; but Prof. Cook makes a \elie- 

 ment protest. He sa.\s that, if t don't stop working' 

 every da.\ and hour. 1 shall be little bi'tter ott here 

 than at home. He advises an apiary out in some 

 of these mountain ranches, and says that, with Mvs. 

 l{oot to take care of me, I mia'ht live to a frood old 

 a>re. Well, I am jiroin};- to live to a good old ag'e any 

 way, if 1 eontinue to eat and sleep as I do now. 



While tiiero is little probability that the sen- 

 ior editor will establish an apiary in California 

 for his health. Prof, ("ook's advice to husband 

 his strength is sound, and the Roots, big and 

 little, add tluMr heartv indorsement. 



Onto bee-keepers should remcunber that the 

 State convention meets this year at Cincinnati. 

 Feb. 10 to V2. at the West End Turner Hall, on 

 Freeman Avenue. It is especially di'Sired that 

 those who expect to attend seinl tlieir names to 

 the secretary, S. K. .Morris. Bloomingburg. O. 

 The fact that Charles F. Mtith is president is 

 a guarantee that tlu' arrangements at Cincin- 

 nati uill be complete. Mr. .Muth desires us to 

 iinite also the bee-keepers of Kentucky and 

 Indiana, as the place (>( nteeting is on the bor- 

 der of three Stiites. 



TuosK of our readers who are poiiltrymen 

 will take great intei'est in reading the senior 

 editor's noti'S of travel, especially where he 

 speaks of his visit to H. .\. March's.

In order to get stmie choice alsikc to fill present 

 orders, we were oblifred to pay more than the ad- 

 vertised luiccliiour list. ('<iuntiiiH- bairs and freight 

 it co.st us about *lll a bushel ; and as the demand for 

 this seed is very stitf we slioiild not be surinised to 

 see it g'o still higher; therefore for the ijiesent our 

 prices will be as follows, bags included: lib 25e- 

 1 peck, $3,30: '^ bushel, *f;.]n; i liushel, U'^.W. If 

 any of rnir readers have any choice seed to sell we 

 .should be pleased to has'e them submit samiiles 

 and we will write you what we can attord to pay for 

 It. We can also pa.v a higher price for .Japanese

1S90 PATTERN DOVETAILED HIVES ALL GONE. 



The thousand old-style Dovetailed hives offered in 

 this column six weeks ag<i haveall been disposed of 

 We ai'e prepared, however, to furnish you with all 

 you can use of the latest impioved hives at cata- 

 logue prices, with 3 per cent off for orders this 

 month. It may not be out of plai-e in this connec- 

 tion to .say that we have added ipiite a num- 

 ber of im|)i'oveinents to this hive since we tirst in- 

 troduced it three years ago ill March. In this less 

 than three years it has become .so popular that it 

 bids fair to eclipse anything before it in the hive 

 line in pointof sales. The demand for it is so uni- 

 ver.saJ that, practically, all the de:ilers and manu- 

 facturers are ottering them for sal(>. .\s we are the 

 pioneers in its introduction and imi'rovement it 

 would seem as though you stood a better chance of 

 getting the latest improved hives by buving of us
