AMERICAN BEE JOURNAj-. 



Getting ready for next season, and 

 posting up by reading bee-literature.— 



G. M. DOOLITTLE. 



If they are really leisure hours, prob- 

 ably in reading some useful and in- 

 structive books.— Mrs. L. Harbison. 



Lay plans for the season as you read 

 bee-lore, and prepare for the sweets on 

 Eternity's shore.— J. M. Hambaugh. 



That depends upon his early training, 

 the bent of his mind, and his capacity to 

 assimilate what he reads.— Emerson T. 

 Abbott. 



That depends altogether upon what 

 he has capacity to do, and upon what he 

 can get to do. In 'these times— well.— 

 M. Mahin, 



In getting ready for the honey season. 

 "When he gets everything in readiness, 

 he might invent a non-swarmer. — 

 Eugene Secor. 



By looking after the widows and or- 

 phans and the popr. But we do not 

 have those leisure hours down here.— 

 Mrs. Jennie Atchley. 



Why not spend his time selling his 

 honey, and thus getting a high price, 

 and educating the public ? It will pay, 

 as I know by experience. — A. J. Cook. 



If you are an industrious man, and 

 can find nothing to do, stay at home and 

 help the good wife; but if you have 

 none, get one, by all means. — H. D. 

 Cutting. 



That depends upon the locality — and 

 — and — and the bee-keeper. If he has 

 plenty of money, let him see how much 

 good he can do the worthy, needy ones. 

 — A. B. Mason. 



This same question is now occupying 

 the minds of thousands of bee-keepers 

 all over the country, and each one has 

 to solve it to suit his environments and 

 capacity.— J. P. H. Brown. 



All depends upon what there is to do, 

 and where you live. Study up on bees. 

 Get all supplies ready for the next sea- 

 son's work, then take the best paying 

 job you can get.— E. France. 



By reading Plato in the original Greek, 

 if he has a turn that way, or by study- 

 ing some branch of history, or science, 

 etc. He should not allow himself to 

 grow one-sided.— R. L. Taylor. 



I always find plenty to employ ray 

 mind and body. You must be your own 

 judge. No one can suggest the best 

 course for you without knowing your 

 capacity, fitness, inclinations, etc. 

 Every person ought to know best what 

 his true calling is. — G. W. Demabee. 



First, in getting everything ready, 

 and in forming plans for the coming 

 season. Second, in reading up and get- 

 ting thoroughly posted in all the latest 

 improvements in the business. — C. H. 



DiBBERN. 



That depends altogether upon what 

 he can do. It will not do to say he can 

 work at blacksmithing, for all are not 

 blacl<sraiths. If you mean to improve 

 himself, let him get all the books and 

 bee-journals, and do a lot of thinking. — 

 C. C. Miller. 



Principally in getting ready for next 

 season. I don't know of anything better 

 than poultry-keeping ; in the summer 

 they will take care of themselves, and 

 in the winter a little extra care and at- 

 tention make them a source of consider- 

 able profit. — Will M. Barnum. 



This is a question, like marriage, that 

 each one must settle for himself. I could 

 name poultry, sheep feeding and fatten- 

 ing, carpentry, school teaching, print- 

 ing, peddling, or any on6 of the thou- 

 sands of occupations to which the per- 

 son is adapted. — J. H. Larrabee. 



In that employment that shall prove 

 most profitable, all things considered. 

 What this may be, depends upon the 

 bee-keeper and his surrounding circum- • 

 stances. It may be in disposing of his 

 crop, and preparing for the coming sea- 

 son ; or it may be any one of a hundred 

 other occupations. — James A. Green. 



In studying the science from the best 

 text-books and bee-journals ; in prepar- 

 ing his hives, sections, etc., for the 

 coming season, and in writing up his 

 ideas for the bee-journals, and thus giv- 

 ing his brethren the benefit of his ex- 

 perience. Generally speaking, by doing 

 all he can to perfect himself, and aid 

 bee-keepers generally, in the science. — 

 J. E. Pond. 



Not knowing your conditions or sur- 

 roundings, it would be hard to prescribe 

 for you. You don't say whether mar- 

 ried or single, or if you wish to improve 

 your mind, or advance your pecuniary 

 interests. You will have to be governed 

 by your ability and opportunity, as you 

 know better than the rest of us in what 

 direction you wish to advance. Calcu- 

 lation and persistence effect wonders, 

 in time. — S. I. Freeborn.
