" The Sweetest Lives are those to duty wed. 

 Whose deeds, both great and small, 



Are close-knit strands of unbroken thread 

 Where love ennobles all. 



The world may sound no trumpets, ring no 

 bells— 



The Book of Life the shining record tells." 



Strong; Colonies, with plenty of 

 healthful stores, are important essentials 

 in safe wintering of bees. 



Mrs. L,. Harrison will give some 

 excellent hints on " Fall Work in the 

 Apiary," in next week's Bee Journal. 

 Look out for it. 



The Old Reliable has simply 

 been "renewing its youth" the past 

 week. That's all. Though born a year 

 before its present editor, it seems only 

 a bright " youngster " to-day. 



How Many Queens did you rear 

 this year ? is asked by the Bee-Keepers' 1 

 Review. It will publish the replies 

 given by queen-breeders, together with 

 a list of the names of those who respond. 



Our Prof. Cook— we mean the 

 bee-keepers' Prof. Cook — is a very busy 

 man at the Michigan Agricultural Col-

 Journal. We love to honor those who 

 have helped to place the art of bee- 

 keeping upon the elevated plane which 

 it occupies to-day. Dr. Marshall is one 

 of them. Read his biography, and go 

 forth to imitate him and others like him. 



Langstroth's Annuity Fund 



which was formed a few years ago, is 

 thus noticed in a letter received from its 

 originator, we believe, Dr. C. C. Miller : 



An Open Letter to the Friends of Father 

 Langstroth : — 

 Four years ago an effort was made to 

 get up a small annuity for Father Lang- 

 stroth, in the shape of a free-will offer- 

 ing from his friends. In order that it 

 might be entirely spontaneous no names 

 were published. Although a smaller 

 sum than desired was raised, yet there 

 was a hearty response from quite a num- 

 ber, some saying that a larger amount 

 would be sent, if necessary. But it ap- 

 pears that through forgetfulness, or 

 whatever cause, quite a number have
