complisht so desirable a result. The other 

 apiary being about 26 miles away, I have 

 not yet gotten around to it. I find that 

 many of our bee-keepers smother their bees, 

 year after year, but owing to the weather 

 this winter being a steady dry cold most of 

 the time, the bees were kept more dry, and 

 thus they came through all right, which is 

 what they never do if it is damp and they 

 sweat badly. E. S. Lovest.

Mild Winter — Crop Keports. 



Winter has past, and glad sunshine now 

 welcomes our busy bees. Mine have win- 

 tered successfully on the summer stands, 

 without any protection at all. This has 

 been the mildest winter we have had for 

 years. I look for a good honey-yield this 

 season. Basswood failed last year, and so 

 it will be very apt to come in again this 

 year. White clover I think is all right. 



By all means do not stop publishing 

 " honey crop prospects," for they are very 

 interesting reading. Success to the " old 

 reliable " American Bee Journal.

Wintered Nicely. 



I started in last spring with 14 colonies, 

 increast to 32, and got 1.000 pounds of comb 

 honey in one-pound sections, which I sold 

 at 18 and 20 cents per pound. My bees 

 have wintered nicely without any loss so 

 far. They have been gathering pollen for 

 the last 10 days. At present everything in- 

 dicates a good bee-year. The American 

 Bee Journal has been a great help to me 

 during the last year. Hiram Messer.

 the fancy sells best- and the values better

THE NEW METHOD 



Iq M^alth andl disease. 



By W. E Forest, M. D., 12th Edition, Re- 

 vised, Illustrated, and Enlarged. This is 

 the greatest and best work ever publisht 

 as a Home Physician, and as 



A Ciiiide to Ilealtli. 



It makes the way from IVeaW ness to 

 Slrengtli so plain that only those who 

 are past recovery (the very few) need to 

 be sick, and the well who will follow its 

 teachings ounnot l>e siclc. It is now 

 in many families the only counsellor in 

 matters of health, saving the need of call- 

 ing a physician and all ex:penses for medi- 

 cines, as it teaches Hygiene and the use 

 of Nature's remedies, not a, drug; 

 treatment. 



All dironic Diseases 



are considered, and there is not a curable 

 disease that has not been helpt by some 

 of the " Xf(f J/f^/(u(/.v " given here; even 

 those who have been pronounced C^on- 

 sumptive have been entirely cured.

A guarantee. 



So confident are the publishers of the 

 results, that they offer to refund the 

 money to any one who will try "New 

 Methods " thoroughly, if the book is re- 

 turned in good condition. 



The New Edition , 



is illustrated with a number of Anatom- 

 ical plates from the best English work on 

 Anatomy publisht, and others made ex- 

 pressly for this work; contains 300 pages, 

 printed on fine calendered paper, and al- 

 though the priceiof tbe first edition (much 

 smaller in size and without illustrations) 

 was $2.50, we sell this at $1.00, postpaid.
