1 Book Recommended by Dr. Gallup. 



THE NEWIeTHOD 



By W. E Forest, M. D.. 13th Edition, Re- 

 vised, Illustrated, and Enlarged. This is 

 the greatest and best work ever publisht 

 as a Home Physician, and as 



A Cruide to Ileallli. 



It makes the way from Weakness to 

 Mlrt-nj;lli so plain that only those who 

 are past recovery (the very few) need to 

 be siob, and the well who will follow its 

 teaehings cannot be sic-k. It is now 

 in many families the only counsellor in 

 matters of health, saving the need of call- 

 ing a physician and all expenses for medi- 

 cines, as it teaches Hygiene and the use 

 of Nature's remedies, not a drngf 

 treatment. 



All I'lironic Oiseases 



are considered, and there is not a curable 

 di.sease that has not been helpt by some 

 of the''»V(«' J/fWwf.s " given here; even 

 those who have been pronounced Con- 

 Kiiniitlive have been entirely cured.

Hard Spring on Bees. 



This has been a hard spring so far on 

 bees in this locality. I am feeding five 

 colonies now to keep them alive till white 

 clover blooms. If that fails, I will get 

 out of the business. 



James W. William.';.

Colonies Strong. 



My bees wintered very well. I never 

 had them so strong at this time of year. 

 I had two swarms May 18, and another 

 to day, which hangs on a tree, and I am 

 forbidden to take it. J. C. Armstrong. 



Marshall Co., Iowa, May 27. 



Bees Starving— No Clover. 



My bees are starving. We have no 

 clover. There are a few coffee-bean trees 

 near by, and also we have cherry-bloom. 

 There are hundreds of dead bee's under 

 the trees poisoned. J. E. Walker. 



Pike Co., Mo , May 27. 



Wintered Without Loss. 



My bees are doing well, and wintered 

 all right. I wintered eight colonies with- 

 out loss. I cannot do very well without 

 the Bee Journal, as I find much useful 

 information in its columns that have 

 been a great help to me. We are having 

 a good deal of rain at present.

Phillips Co., Kans., May 27. 



Bees Wintered Well. 



Bees are in fine condition. The brood 

 chambers with 10 frames are boiling 

 over with bees, and drones are flying. 

 Fruit-trees are in full bloom, but we have 

 rainy weather at present. Prospects are 

 poor for a white clover flow in this 

 neighborhood. A. F. Krueger. 



Washington Co., Wis., May 'I'l. 



Grand Flow from Tulip. 



Bees are just having a picnic. The 

 tulip is producing the grandest flow of 

 nectar, at this writing, that 1 have ob- 

 served for years. Whiteclover Is making 

 a good start, and wherever a few blos- 

 soms, here and there, are found, we are 

 sure to see the honey-bee. The season 

 so far has been quite favorable for the 

 apiarists throughout this locality, and 

 we trust will prove up a bountiful crop 

 at its close. J. A. Golden. 



Morgan Co., Ohio, May 80. 



Honey from Box-Alder. 



Some one asks Dr. Miller if bees get 

 much honey from box-alder. B''or the 

 first time in my experience as a bee- 

 "keeper I am able to answer the question. 

 There are quite a number of box-alders 

 here, and 1 never saw bees work bass- 

 wood better than they did the alders 

 when in blossom this spring. I found, 

 on examination this morning, that these 

 trees were alive with bees. The upper 

 surface of the leaves is covered with a 

 sticky substance which the bees were 

 gathering. Ou examination, I found on 

 the underside of the leaves. iiumediatelv
