Good Honey Crop. 



My crop of honey was extra large, the 

 best I have had in years, and the quality 

 was fair. We had no basswood flow. 



Oakland Co., Mich. Homer Scott. 



Wintering Nicely. 



I have 39 colonies of bees which seem to 

 be wintering nicely in the cellar. 1 am a 

 farmer, but have no trouble selling my 

 honey at home at 10 cents per pound. 



Trempeleau Co., Wis. L. Stahoski. 



Report for 1897. 



I could not get along without the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal. My 1897 report is as fol- 

 lows : From 52 colonies I secured very 

 nearly a ton of honey, and I have sold 

 about half already at a good figure. 



Henry K. Gresh. 



Elk Co., Pa.. Dec. 11. 



Results of the Past Season. 



I had .5 colonies, spring ^couut. increast to 

 S, and got 480 pounds of comb honey. I be- 

 lieve 1 have gotten more experience in one 

 year from the American Bee Journal than 

 I could have gotten without it in 10 years. 

 I don't see how anybody can keep bees 

 without it. J. W. Henry. 



Warren Co., Pa., Jan. 8. 



Good Year with the Bees. 



I have had the American Bee Journal 

 four months, and now feel that I could not 

 do without it. 



I have had a very good year with the 

 bees, securing about 4.50 pounds of honey 

 (both comb and extracted) from six colo- 

 nies, and increast to U. 



George Dales, Jr. 



Summit Co., Ohio, Jan. 10. 



Results of the Past Season. 



I started in the spring of 18(17 with 1.5 col- 

 onies, workt on the Doolittle plan. I had .'5 

 swarms, caught and bought 10, and went 

 into winter quarters with IJO colonies, all in 

 good condition. I got about 740 pounds of 

 honey, all in one-pound sections. Now I 

 might have gotten the 40 pounds alone, but 

 I think the 700 due to the help of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal. Samuel Rickel. 



Fulton Co., Ind. 



A Reasonably Good Tear. 



I keep all the copies of the Bee Journal, 

 and they are of more value to me than 

 many times its cost, 



I had a reasonably good year in 1897 with 

 the bees. I had 11 colonies, spring count, 

 secured 500 pounds of comb honey, and in- 

 creast to 25 colonies. I would have done 

 better but we had a terrible hail storm 

 June 19, which cut the white clover all 

 down, and it took about two weeks for it to 

 bloom again. S. H. Stouffer. 



Blair Co., Pa. 



Wintering and Other Experiences. 



It ^as a clear, sunshiny day here yester- 

 day, and I found a number of dcones on 

 the snow in front of one of my colonies, 

 and the bees show signs of dysentery badly. 

 All others are all right. 1 had a swarm 

 issue October, 1897, that had only bees 

 enough to cover one fraaie. I put them 

 into the cellar. There is a steam furnace 

 111 feet from the hive. I lookt into the hive 

 last night, and the bees cover three frames 

 now. The thermometer stands at ,50 de- 

 grees steadily ; in a warm day it goes up to

CiETHSEMANE 



This Very Remarkable Sucial Story, 



The thought of which Is the application to 

 all life of the test question, *• What would 

 Jesus do?" has had an extraordinary sale, 

 even during lhe"dull times " of summer. 

 In the guise of a dramatic story, the book 

 makes a powerful appeal to the public con- 

 science in the lines in which Interest Is now 

 so deeply aroused, nxmely, the social condi- 

 tions atfecliag the relations of employer 

 and emp'oye. rich and poor, the Christian 

 and the world, the saloon and the voter, etc. 

 The author believes his test— "What would 

 Jesus do ?"— to be nothing less than revolu- 

 tionary, and applies It with searching di- 

 rectness, not only to commercial and social, 

 but also to religious life. The deep interest 

 which the story has awakened Is indicated 

 by the thousands that have been sold, and 

 the many voluntary testimonials, among 

 them being the following : 



"The reading of the book will search 

 many a heart, ani ought to lead to a sim- 

 pler, holler, and more fully consecrated 

 Christian life.''— Sunday-School Times. 



"Singularly Imnressive It Is a sermon 



In action, tnd one that cannot fail to touch 

 the heart."— New York Christian Advocate 



" Mr. Sheldon's book makes a strong im 

 presslon as a plea lor more simplicity ol 

 living, for more economj' and more prlnci 

 pie in the matter of personal expenditure 

 and for the application of the laws of rl^ht 

 eousness and justice to the methods of buei 

 administration." — New York Independent. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^mm^^a^ma^^^K^^^^m
