fourth the present number of honey- 

 producers we would Ret much better 

 prices for honey, and it is the small pro- 

 ducers who damage the markets most, 



R. C, Aikin — Everybody should not 

 keep bees, but the majority of farmers 

 should produce their own honey. That 

 Is my advice. 



J, E. Pond — No, not in my opinion. 

 Reasons are ample for my opinion, but 

 as they are not askt for, I will not take 

 space to give them, 



J. M. Hambaugh— While I believe it 

 would be to the best interest of human- 

 ity in general, it might not be to the best 

 interest of the specialist. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — No; but it is for 

 the good of the land in which we dwell. 

 Plenty of bees to fertilize the fioweis — 

 more fruit, clover, vegetables, etc. 



Dr. C. C, Miller— I don't know. What- 

 ever is the thing that will be the great- 

 est good to the greatest number is the 

 thing that ought to be done. 



Eugene Secor — Perhaps not to the in- 

 terest of the specialist, but I think it to 

 the interest of the people if said farmer 

 will sn inform himself as to produce 

 what his family needs. 



R. L. Taylor — No, it's not to the in- 

 terest of honey-producers. The inter- 

 ests of the public and the interests of 

 the followers of any occupation are 

 very liable to clash. 



C. H. Dibbern — No. I am a merchant 

 as well as a bee-keeper, and I should 

 consider it a very foolish, as well as 

 suicidal proceeding, to preach to every- 

 body to go into my line of business. 



Mrs. J. M. Null — No. Most generally 

 the breaking down or ruin of markets is 

 directly attributable to this class of bee- 

 keepers, and they succeed equally as 

 well in the line of overstocking a 

 locality. 



Chas, Dadant & Son — It matters but 

 little, for no matter what you say or ad- 

 vise, there will only be a small propor- 

 tion of successful apiarists among our 

 farmers. Only those who like the pur- 

 suit will stay with it. 



P. H. Elwood — No. There can be an 

 over-production of honey as with every- 

 thing else. Aad it is the observation of 

 bee-keepers that those who keep but a 

 few colonies are more liable to cut prices 

 than those who keep many, or are more 

 dependent upon their bees for a living. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — I am not so sel- 

 fish as to believe that the interests of 

 the specialist honey-producer would 

 suffer. There are too many mouths in 

 America to take in the honey if the taste 

 is cultwatcd. Each producer must do 

 his part toward developing the taste. 



G. W, Deraaree — There is mighty little 

 to trouble intelligent bee-keepers along 

 this line. People who keep a few colo- 

 nies of bees don't know enough about 

 bees to hurt the honey-trade. Sometimes 

 they have them and sometimes they 

 don't. Bees are not like weeds ! Don't 

 be disturbed. It requires knowledge, 

 and work, too, to succeed with bees, 



G. M. Doolittle — Is it to the interest 

 of the producers of poultry, hogs, sheep, 

 cattle and grain to advocate that every- 

 body, or every farmer, should keep or 

 raise a few or as many of the above as 

 he pleases ? It is not well to get little 

 and mean in our ideas regarding keep- 

 ing others out of the business we are in. 

 The world is broad enough for all who 

 are willing to work, but should have no

THE NEW METHOD 



By W. E Forest, M, D., I'^th Edition, Re- 

 vised, Illustrated, and Enlarged. This is 

 the greatest and best work ever publisht 

 as a Home Physician, and as 



A (jiiiide to Ilealtli. 



It makes the way from Weakness to 

 S^trengtli so plain that only those who 

 are past recovery (the very few) need to 

 be sick, and the well who will follow its 

 teachings «'uiiuot be sick. 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 Natures remedies, uot a drug 

 trealnient. 



All Clironic Diseases 



are considered, and there is not a curable 

 disease that has not been helpt by some 

 of the '• Xf '/' ^l/e?//o(/.s " given here; even 

 those who have been pronounced 4Joii- 

 suiiiptive have been entirely cured.

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 IVeM- Edition 



is illustrated with a number of Anatom- 

 ical plates from the best English work on 

 Anatomy publisht, and others made ex- 

 pressly tor this work; contains 300 pages, 

 printed on fine calendered paper, and al- 

 though the pricejof the first edition (much 

 smaller in size and without illustrations) 

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