mm. sept. 1,1892. so. lo. 



Seek Not to Walk by borrowed light, 



But keep unto thine own ; 

 Do what thou doest with thy might, 



And trust thyself alone. 

 Work for some good— not idly lie 



Within the human hive ; 

 And though the outward man should die. 

 Keep thou the heart alive. 



—Alice Cary. 



A Free Portrait of your favorite 

 Presidential candidate is offered on page 

 293, in connection with the Orange Judd 

 Farmer and the Bee Journal. We have 

 a set of these Portraits in our office, and 

 can say that they are very fine indeed. 

 They are 12x16 inches in size, and, as 

 a picture, would ornament any home. 

 The Orange Judd Farmer is an elegant, 

 16-page, weekly farm and home paper, 

 and should be read by all who want to 

 make a success of farm work, and also 

 have a well-informed household. 



The Honey Market.— It is safe 

 to say that there is less honey now in 

 the hands of producers as well as dealers 

 and commission men, than at any time 

 since 1877; the scarcity extends over 

 the eastern, western and southern 

 States. Excessive rains in some sections, 

 drouths and cold, foggy weather in 

 others have conspired to make the 

 honey yield much less than usual, for 

 this year, and last year the crop was 

 much below the average. The markets 

 throughout the United States are quite 

 bare of either comb or extracted honey, 

 and as present indications for a good 

 yield of late honey are not favorable, 

 home demand wil[ require' most if not 

 all the honey now in sight, leaving noth- 

 ing or very little of the commodity for 

 export to foreign cpuntries. A good 

 article of honey is therefore likely to 

 command a good price, regardless of the 

 low price of sugar. — Exchange. 



In Sunny Southland is the 



name of a new department which is 

 begun on page 300 of this issue, and 

 will be conducted by Mrs. Jennie 

 Atchley. She will endeavor to make it 

 an interesting and profitable feature of 

 the Bee Journal for those keeping 

 bees in the " Sunny South," and it is 

 hoped that their appreciation will be 

 manifested by an increased number of 

 readers from that "Paradise" of our 

 country — for it indeed will be a Paradise 

 for bees, when once it is fully developed 

 apiculturally. Mrs. Atchley is a good 

 writer, and knows, from practical expe- 

 rience, whatever ideas she transmits 

 through her sharp pencil. We bespeak 

 for her efforts a hearty appreciation, 

 not only in the South, but all over our 

 fair land, or wherever the Bee Journal 

 goes — and that is everywhere. 



"Why are cheap bargains like pris- 

 ons ? Because they're mostly "sells"
