us, as Superintendent of the Illinois 

 honey display at the World's Fair, he 

 would cover from top to bottom the 

 Illinois cases on the Sabbath day, if the 

 Fair continued to be open on Sunday. 



Is it nothing to have all the widows 

 and orphans for miles around feel free 

 to go to him for help and advice ? 



It is true he is not a politician, has 

 never been in the legislative halls as a 

 member, but ivoidd have been long ago, 

 could we women have had the ballot ; for 

 all true womanhood honors the man who 

 is brave enough to stand staunch and 

 true (against multitudes of sneers and 

 curses) for all reforms of the day ; and 

 has the courage to espouse the cause of 

 Prohibition and ivoman suffrage. 



Mr. Stone is not to see this till in the 

 Bee Joukwal. From One of Them. 



Well, " Mr. Stone " did not see the 

 foregoing "till in the Bee Journal," 

 this week ; but if " One of Them " doesn't 

 wish, very soon after he does read it, 

 she ivasn't " One of Them," or was one 

 of the tw^) of them in Siam, why we will 

 just miss our guess, that's all. How- 

 ever, we are glad that Miss "One of 

 Them " wrote just as she did, for we are 

 sure if she hadn't we wouldn't have 

 known so much of Bro. Stone. He is 

 well named — Stone — and we see he 

 stands as solid as a stone for what he 

 believes to be right. May his tribe in- 

 crease ! 



♦*Xlie TVinter Problem in 



Bee-Keeping" is the title of a splendid 

 pamphlet by Mr. G. R. Pierce, of Iowa, 

 a bee-keeper of 26 years' experience. It 

 is 6x9 inches in size, has 76 pages and 

 is a clear exposition of the conditions 

 essential to success in the winter and 

 spring management of the apiary. Price, 

 postpaid, 50 cents ; or given as a pre- 

 mium for getting one new subscriber to 

 the Bee Journal for a year. Clubbed 

 with the Bee Journal, one year for 

 $1.30. Send to us for a copy. 



ITIr. XkoM. .lolintiioii. Coon Rapids, 

 Iowa, has sent us samples of Italian. Albino, 

 and Golden Italian bees. They are all fine 

 bees, and especially the Albinos and Golden 

 Italians are distinctly and beautifully 

 marked. No wonder Mr. Johnson took the 

 first premium in his three varieties of bee* 

 at the Iowa State Fair last year.

Women as Bee-Keepers. 



• Great efforts have been made in Ger- 

 many within the last two years to en- 

 courage our "better halves" in keeping 

 bees. Lectures for lady bee-keepers 

 have been held in different parts of the 

 Empire, and^ the results are the very 

 best. 



Langdon Non-Swarming- Attachment. 



This device is of highest interest, but 

 if you don't put water in the hive as 

 soon as the supers are all on the other 

 hive, the open brood will die, and if Mr. 

 McEvoy is right, you will get foul brood 

 easily. But happily Mr. McEvoy's state- 

 ment is only partly correct. 



How to Fill Combs with Water. 



If you want to fill combs with water, 

 sugar syrup, honey, etc., only fill a tin 

 case, which is a little higher, and two or 

 three inches broader than the comb, 

 with the liquid, put the empty comb 

 into this case, and then place this case 

 into the honey extractor. Turn the 

 handle of the extractor a few times, and 

 through the centrifugal force the air 

 which is in the cells will escape, and the 

 liquid will fill the cells immediately. Do 

 you know a better way ? If so, please 

 let me know. 



Two Kinds of Foul Brood in Germany. 



There are two different kinds of foul 

 brood. The one is caused by rotten 

 brood, and can be cured within some 

 months, and the other by the Bacillus 

 alvei, when there is no rotten brood in 

 the hive, nor in any other hives of the 

 apiary. When you see the larvse get- 

 ting a little i/c Wo wis^i, the colony may be 

 the best and the strongest of your api- 

 ary, then there is something wrong, and 

 you may be sure that your bees have the 

 real foul brood, and you area very lucky 

 man if you cure it within a year or two
