Convention Notices. 



The Southern Minnesota and Western Wisconsin 

 Bee-keepers" Association will hold its annual con- 

 vention Feb. 21 and 22 in the Winona County Court- 

 house, at which time an interesting program will 

 be carried out. Those Interested are welcome. 



O. S. Holland, Sec. 



The Wisconsin State Bee-keepers' Association will 

 hold its next convention Feb. 23, 24, in Madison. 

 Ten dollars In cash prizes given for three best-writ- 

 ten papers of practical value to Wisconsin bee- 

 keepers. Prizes, S5.00, $3.00, 82.00, each writer to 

 choose his topic. The State Inspector will exhibit 

 a steam-heated uncapping-knlfe that, for 2 cts. a 

 day, did the work of two men; also a self-measur- 

 ing honey-faucet that weighs any amount without 

 running the can over; also a practical double brush 

 that, in single stroke, brushes all the bees from a 

 comb. An easily made device that will attach to 

 any beam scale and tell when the amount wanted 

 is on scales. Premiums at fairs — how to win. Sales 

 of honey, fall of 1911. Prominent bee-keepers from 

 abroad will attend. 



Gus Dittmer, Sec, Augusta, Wis. 



The Ohio State Bee-keepers' Association will hold 

 Its annual convention Feb. 16 and 17, at Cincinnati. 

 All bee-keepers of the State are Invited to attend, to 

 make this meeting (the second of Its kind) a grand 

 success. Headquarters will be at Grand Hotel, halls 

 Nos. 1 and 2. Ohio bee-keepers wishing to read pa- 

 pers on bee culture are urged to do so. Now is the 

 time for bee-men to get together and make their 

 influence felt through the General Assembly of the 

 State. We have a few local bee-keepers' associa- 

 tions throughout the State; but single-handed they 

 can not accomplish much. Last year the Ohio 

 State Bee-keepers' Association, through the Gene- 

 ral Assembly, passed a new foul-brood law — the 

 best one, experts say, in the country. It Is a model 

 which bee-keepers of other States are putting up to 

 their legislators. The program will be announced 

 later. Henry' Reddert, Secretary. 



J. H. Moore, Pres. 



Gentlemen: — I have enjoyed and been benefited 

 by each number of Gleanings for the past year. 

 It is helpful to hear the serious opinions of practical 

 bee-men on all the problems that confront us as 

 amateurs and as those who have laid some founda- 

 tion along practical lines. It is a good work you do 

 when you carefully anticipate the needs of the bee- 

 keeper in the way of meeting every emergency and 

 for informing him, asking and answering the ques- 

 tions that are continually springing up in our 

 minds. All together we think Gleanings a very 

 strong and meritorious journal. We are well satis- 

 fied with the service It has given us.
