AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



peace and joyfulness of heart. Then, 

 again, there are other " riches " that 

 invariably bring a wealth of happiness 

 and contentment to those who are so 

 fortunate as to possess them. 



It pays to cultivate the habit of look- 

 ing on the bright side of things instead 

 of continually on the dark side. Seldom 

 is one so poor and miserable but that he 

 can find some one else who is poorer and 

 more unfortunate. Prepare yourself 

 during dull and discouraging seasons in 

 life in such a manner that when prosper- 

 ous times are at hand, you may be the 

 better able to take full advantage of 

 them, and thus be prepared to swing 

 through unfavorable times thereafter, 

 should such appear again. Have hope. 

 Have courage. Have faith ! 



A Large Photograph of the 



apiary of Mr. S. B. Strader, of Bismark, 

 Ills., has been sent us by Mr. S. It is 

 beautifully situated in an opening near 

 a delightful grove, which gives it a rest- 

 ful and pleasing effect. We have placed 

 the picture in the Bee Journal album, 

 along with similar apiarian views. 



Mr. Strader says Jin a private letter, 

 which we received after writing the 

 above paragraph, that the location of 

 the apiary is in a valley between two 

 hills shown in the picture. The hives 

 face to the east, and at the north side of 

 the yard the honey-house is shown, 

 which was built for the purpose of keep- 

 ing bees on the hillside. 



'When Renewing your sub- 

 scription to the Bee Journal, please 

 send the names of those around you who 

 have bees, and we will send them free 

 sample copies. Then afterward you can 

 get them as new subscribers, for which 

 work we offer some excellent premiums 

 in each number of the Joubnal. While 

 thus helping yourselves, you will also be 

 helping others. Why not begin now ?

Clipping Queens' Wings.— 



A friend of the Bee Joubnal has kindly 

 called our attention to a clear case of 

 " copying" an article from a book, and 

 then claiming it as original. He says : 



I wish to call you attention to an 

 article purported to be written for the 

 Amebican Bee Joubnal, on page 534, 

 which is an exact copy of page 235 in 

 the " A B C of Bee-Culture," 1891, en- 

 titled, " Shall We Clip the Queen's 

 Wings ?" and also part of a contribution 

 by Mrs. A. L. Gould, on page 236 of 

 the same edition. By comparing the 

 two you will easily see that I am right. 



Although I do not subscribe for the 

 Bee Joubnal, I read it with a friend, 

 and as soon as I read the above-men- 

 tioned article, I knew I had seen it 

 somewhere else. Cannot you give Mr. 

 Root credit for that article '? It is a 

 clear case of plagiarism. 



Certainly ; we are glad to give the 

 proper credit, though it is a little late. 

 It shows that Bro. Root's "A B C of 

 Bee-Culture " is highly prized, when any 

 one will attempt to claim as original 

 something taken from it, for most liter- 

 ary people like to put out a good thing 

 for the reading public. We are sorry 

 we did not notice the plagiarism before 

 publishing the article.
