up the feed that is given them, and 

 liquid feed only makes the matter worse. 

 What is the use of rearing bees to eat 

 what you have given them ? The smaller 

 a colony of bees can be kept the better, 

 in a dry season like this, providing they 

 can sustain life until a honey season 

 comes. It has not been as dry here for 

 25 years, old settlers say.

Unfavorable Season. 



I have 18 colonies of Italians, but the 

 season is very unfavorable.

Artificial Q,ueen-CeUs by Kersten. 



I always believed that Doolittle was 

 the inventor and first maker of artificial 

 queen-cells, but the Nordl. Bztg. declares 

 that a blacksmith by the name of Kers- 

 ten, in Biegen, Brandenburg, Germany, 

 was the first. He exhibited his cells 26 

 years ago in Halle. But little notice 

 was given him. H. Rohes.

Outlook Not Encouraginpr. 



It looks as if we were not going to get 

 any honey harvest. The bees are only 

 making a living now, and I had to feed 

 during May, some little, to keep starva- 

 tion down. It is too wet and cool. The 

 small red clover did not bloom, and my 

 Alsike is not hurting itself in blooming, 

 and the bees didn't visit it very strong. 

 The only thing we can depend upon now 

 is the second crop of small red clover 

 and the first blooming of sappling or pea- 

 vine clover. I have 30 acres for my bees 

 to visit, with blue thistle along the Poto- 

 mac river and the mountain. About lOO 

 to 125 acres of Alsike was sowed by 

 neighbor farmers. I got the leaflets on 

 Alsike, and gave them out to the neigh- 

 bors last summer at picnics, and my 

 brother, S. J. Hammond, raised about 

 17 bushels of seed and sold It to our 

 neighbors. 



I am not discouraged in the least, as I 

 was so lucky as to hold my wheat crop 

 of 1897 — over 1,100 bushels — and got 

 SI. 25 per bushel; and sold my last 

 year's crop of honey in Washington, 

 D. C, for 15 cents a section. It netted 

 me almost fourteen cents.

Young Queens Swarming — Carniolans 



Page 346, June 2, says : " But when 

 a young queen is reared in a colony, he 

 (Gravenhorst) has never known such 

 young queen to swarm that year." I 

 have just had such instance. May 19 I 

 divided a colony, making three. I put 

 one of the new ones In the old stand, and 

 removed the old queen and colony some 

 distance. The one on the old stand be- 

 came very strong through desertions 

 from the other two hives, and June 4 

 swarmed, thus making a third colony 

 from one old colony, each of the three 

 new colonies now having queens just 

 reared. 



Perhaps Dr. Miller can tell me why 

 the new queens are dark when the 

 mother is very yellow (leather-colored), 

 and rears yellow hees. 



Apropos of Carniolans (page 342), my 

 experience so far Is not satisfactory. I 

 have one colony that has not workt a

THE NEWIeTHOD 



Its Mealtb aad IDfsease. 



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 Putsician, and as 



A Ouide to Health. 



It makes the way from Weakness to 

 Strength so plain that only those who 

 are past recovery (the very few) need to 

 be sick, and the well who will follow its 

 teachings osinnot be siclc. 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 drng 

 treatment. 



All Ciironlc Diseases 



are considered, and there is not a curable 

 disease that has not been helpt by some 

 of the '^ Xtv/' J/ei7(o(/.s " given here; even 

 those who have been pronounced Con- 

 sumptive have been entirely cured. 

 While for Rhenmatism, Indig'es- 

 tion, OyKpepsia, Constipation, 

 ■>ysentary, I/iver and Kidney 

 'I'roiibles, Catarrli. Emacia- 

 tion, General Oehllity, Nerv- 

 ous Exhaustion, IHseases Pe- 

 culiar to Women, etc., the methods 

 are sure, and can be carried out at one's 

 own home and with little or no expense. 



A <3iuarantee. 



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. 



Xhe IVevv 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 the first edition (much 

 smaller in size and without illustrations) 

 was $3..50, we sell this at $1.00, postpaid.
