AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



425 



In Sunny Southland— the new 



department conducted by Mrs. Atchley, 

 on page 428 of this number of the Bee 

 Journal — seems to please a great many. 

 Our thanks are tendered to Gleanings, 

 the Review, and the Canadian Bee Jour- 

 nal, for the very kind and fraternal 

 notices they have given about our new 

 department. Read what they say about 

 it, in the following paragraphs : 



Mrs. Jennie Atchley is conducting a 

 Southern Department in the American 

 Bee Journal. She has had experience 

 in the right direction, and knows how to 

 tell it in an interesting manner. — Review. 



We are pleased to note .that Mrs. 

 Jennie Atchley, so favorably known 

 among bee-keepers, has taken charge of 

 a department in the American Bee 

 Journal, " In Sunny Southland." There 

 is no doubt but its many readers will 

 profit by her writings. Friend York is 

 leaving no stone unturned to give the 

 readers of the American Bee Journal 

 good value for their dollar. — Canadian 

 Bee Journal. 



The American Bee Journal has just 

 incorporated in its columns a new de- 

 partment, called " In Sunny Southland." 

 It is to be conducted by Mrs. Jennie 

 Atchley, of Floyd, Tex., a well-known 

 writer and queen-breeder. The first in- 

 stallment, beginning with the Sept. 1st 

 number, is good, and no doubt will 

 maintain its initial standard of excel- 

 lence. It is a good scheme, Bro. York, 

 especially for the far-South readers. — 

 Gleanings. 



Giving: Due Credit to our ex- 

 change periodicals for anything that we 

 copy from their columns, we are very 

 particular about, and we then expect 

 that others will be equally careful when 

 copying anything from the Bee Jour- 

 nal. But it seems we were led into 

 giving a wrong credit on page 343, 

 where we say that the clipping about 

 a "House Apiary Like a Passenger- 

 Car " was taken from the Canadian Bee 

 Journal, when it should have been cred- 

 ited to the Bee-Keepers'' Review. 



We took the item referred to, from 

 the Michigan Farmer, which said that 

 in the Canadian Bee Journal Mr. Harker 

 said so and so, and of course we pre- 



sumed that the Farmer knew what it 

 was talking about ; but we find that it 

 also was led into the same error as our- 

 selves, for the Canadian Bee Journal 

 copied the whole article from the Review 

 without giving any credit whatever — 

 simply "cabbaged" the whole thing 

 bodily ! 



Whenever we make an error in credit- 

 ing anything copied, we are indeed glad 

 to have our attention called to it, for we 

 believe in giving " honor to whom honor 

 is due" — even to giving full credit to 

 Mr. Devil for his deviltry. We try to 

 follow the "Golden Rule" in all things, 

 but, like the rest of humanity, we some- 

 times err, for it is truly written, "To 

 err is human." 



We trust the editor of the Review will 

 have mercy upon the ODe who lead the 

 rest of us into evil, and, upon proper 

 indications of repentance, to forgive as 

 fully as he expects to be forgiven when- 

 ever he makes a mistake. 



Honey Crop in Minnesota. — 



Mr. B. Taylor, of Forestville, Minn., 

 says this in the Farm, Stock and Home, 

 about his honey crop, and that of Min- 

 nesota : 



The honey crop at the Forestville 

 apiary is the smallest ever secured. Ten 

 pounds per colony is all we can expect, 

 and we believe ours is above the aver- 

 age in this part of Minnesota. The 

 entire Northwest is in pretty much the 

 same condition. Comb, or good extract- 

 ed honey, will bring a good price if well 

 managed in marketing. 



Mullein for Rheumatism.— 



The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says this 

 about using mullein for rheumatism : 



It is not generally known that a de- 

 coction of the common mullein, which 

 grows wild in every part of this country, 

 is a most excellent specific for rheuma- 

 tism. Among the German people so 

 much confidence is felt in it that many 

 of them use no other remedy for this 

 disease, and it is seldom known to fail.
