GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

here as everywhere else in the world. We may 

 not bo able always to trace results to causes; 

 but the more we look for it, the oftener it will 

 be found, and help explain conduct that seems 

 so inexplicable. 



We had a little boy in our schools at one time 

 who was always good when clean and well 

 dressed, but willful and troublesome when un- 

 tidy or wearing old ragged clothes. I was 

 much interested not long ago in the account of 

 a little child who refused to have her picture 

 taken. Coaxing, threats, and punishment were 

 all of no avail for a long time. At length she 

 promised she would comply with their wishes 

 if they would wait until after her birthday 

 party, one week hence. This was agreed to, 

 though what that had to do with it could not 

 be imagined until she was overheard bidding 

 her dolls good-by because she must have her 

 picture taken and die, and go to heaven as her 

 little cousin did. She did not want to die, she 

 informed her doll, but mamma said she was 

 naughty not to want to do as they wished. All 

 this had come from her hearing the coincidence 

 of her cousin's death, and the having had her 

 picture taken just before, spoken of when on 

 the floor with her blocks. The dear child had 

 been adjudged willful and disobedient, when 

 only ignorant and frightened. 



We should do well, many times, to regard 

 wrong-doing as a symptom and not a diseased 

 condition, and endeavor to do as the good phy- 

 sician does— seek to discern and remove the 

 irritating cause. In order to do this you must 

 live with the children in the child's world, 

 entering into their kingdom in as humble and 

 teachable a spirit as a little child. You can 

 then gain their trust and confidence, and will 

 thus become their refuge and strength; and 

 they in return will be your song of rejoicing, 

 your crown of glory, your exceeding great and 

 precious reward for time and eternity. 





MAPLE-SYRUP LABELS. 



In Ohio the law provides that every g-allon of 

 maple syrup oHered for sale must be labeled, and 

 bear the name and address of the producer. This is 

 a pi-ecaution to guard against adulteration. We are 

 prepared to furnish syrup-iabels as follows: 



3ixb, to fit panel on can, with name and address 

 printed— 100, 40c; 15c per 100 after 1st 100. Postage, 

 5e per 100. Long enough to wrap around the can, 

 10c per 100 extra, and postage double the above. 



OUR SEED AND POTATO CIRCULAR. 



Send for seed catalog and potato circular. We 

 have a nice stock of seed potatoes that we are offer- 

 ing at exceptionally low prices, while they last. We 

 would rail the attention of our Canadian subscrib- 

 ers to the fact that the postage on seeds to Canada 

 is Ic per oz., and ask them to kindly send us 17c 

 postage for their premium potatoes instead of 9c, 

 as our home subscribers are are asked to do. 



We have also added to our list of table beets the 

 well-known Edmund's Early beet. This is handsome 

 in shape, and a blood-red color, and has given the 

 best of satisfaction in eastern markets. Price 5c 

 per oz., 30c per pouLd; postage 9c per lb, extra. 



BLACKWALNUTS AND SHELLBARK HICKORYNUTS. J 



We would again call the attention of our readers 

 to the fact that we have nice blackwalnuts, already 

 hulled, that we are ottering at the low price of 1.5c 

 per peck, or 60c per bushel. Nature has been boun- 

 tiful in her gifts to us the past year, and the long 

 winter evenings we are now having afford us a 

 time for the enjoyment of some of them. These 



nuts can be included with other goods by freight at 

 a trifling cost for transportation. 



We have also suc(;eedcd in getting track of an- 

 other small lot of shellbark hickorynuts, which we 

 can offer, while they last, at .50c per peck or $1.60 per 

 bushel. Send in your order early before they are 

 all taken. Walnuts and hickorynuts are not a bad 

 dish together. 



HUBBARD SECTION-PRESS. 



There are a great variety of devices for the pur- 

 pose of putting together the one piece section. 

 Many have been submitted to us for trial. Among 

 them all the Hubbard section-press stands unap- 

 proached in simplicity, ease of operation, effective- 

 ness, and rapidity. Our help have repeatedly fold- 

 ed a box of 1000 sections in forty minutt s, without 

 breaking more than one or two. The bee-keeper 

 who uses 5000 to 10,000 sections and over can not af- 

 ford to be without one of these presses. They are 

 adjustable for various sizes, taut are, of course, sent 

 out set tor the 4X sq. section. We have so much 

 confidence in the press, that, having the opportuni- 

 ty offered us recently, we secured the patent from 

 Mr. G. K. Hubbard, now of Riveiside, Cal. We now 

 have exclusive right to manufacture, and shall be 

 pleased to supply other dealers in bee-keepers' sup- 

 plies who will list them in their catalogs.
