just beginning to bloom, and I think I 

 will get better-looking honey from corn 

 and black-heart weeds, which are very 

 plentiful in this locality, and have not 

 failed to yield nectar In six years. 

 Golden-rod and Spanish-needle are very 

 plentiful here, and always yields some 

 honey. Will some one tell me something 

 about honey from acorns? 



I became interested In bees about a 

 year ago, and have been attending to 

 Jacob P. Wirth's bee-ranch. I like to 

 work with bees. I have seven colonies 

 of my own In fine condition.

Bass^nrood Good While it Lasted. 



Our honey harvest is over for this year, 

 I think. Basswood opened July 2, and 

 closed July 18. It was good while It 

 lasted, and the honey secured will prob- 

 ably pay expenses and leave a margin of 

 profit, especially If we get the better 

 prices that we look for.

No Swarms and No Honey. 



There have been no swarms In this 

 locality, and I have been examining my 

 hives and find them all full of bees and 

 sheets of brood, but no honey.

Macoupin Co., III., July 18. 



Seeded to White Clover. 



Mr. Messlnger, my neighbor, has taken 

 over five barrels of honey, mostly white 

 clover. Our country has come In freely 

 to white clover this year; one would 

 think the whole had been well seeded by 

 some one. My bees are doing finely. 

 Mr. Messlnger never extracts any from 

 the lower story. He wintered about 100 

 colonies. Geo. H, Lawrence. 



Juneau Co., Wis., July 12. 



He Keeps in the Lead. 



I have mailed a picture of my small 

 apiary, which Includes eight colonies, of 

 which I am very proud, and hold the 

 lead of all in my neighborhood for getting 

 the largest quantity of honey, altho all 

 the bees around have the same chance 

 to gather It. All there is to gather from 

 grows wild, and when the white clover 

 is gone we take off the sections and 

 apron them down. I believe I am the 

 only one here who takes the Bee Jour- 

 nal, and that Is what helps me to keep 

 in the lead. This Is only my second 

 season with bees. Chas. S. Cocuran. 



Baltimore Co., Md., July 19, 



[Thanks for the picture, Mr. C. — Ed.] 



Not an Ounce of Surplus. 



I began wlth5ii colonies In the spring, 

 and up to date they have not stored an 

 ounce of surplus honey. Too much rain,

Failure of Alfalfa to Yield. 



I see it stated that alfalfa does not 

 produce any neotar In Iowa. Perhaps 

 the land on which it is grown may have 

 something to do with Its failure to give 

 out the nectar. I have In mind two 

 pieces of alfalfa — the one is on first bot- 

 tom land, and tho a creek runs along one 

 side of the alfalfa and there is good

THE NEW METHOD 



Ira Mealth aradl Disease. 



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

 vised, Illustrated, and Enlarged. This ia 

 the greatest and best work ever publisht 

 as a Home Phtsician, and as 



A <jiiiide to Healths 



It makes the way from WeaUness to^ 

 Streng^tli so plain that only those who 

 are past recovery (the very few) need to 

 l>e sick, and the well who will follow ita 

 teachings cannot l>e 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 us& 

 of Nature's remedies, not a drug^ 

 treatment. 



All Clironic Diseases 



are considered, and there is not a curable 

 disease that has not been helpt by some 

 of the ■' -V('«' J/fWod.s " given here; even 

 those who have been pronounced Con> 

 siiniptire have been entirely cured.

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

 own home and with little or no expense. 



A Ciiiarantee. 



So confident are the publishers of the- 

 results, that they offer to refund the 

 moiley to any one who will try " New 

 Methods " thoroughly, if the book is re- 

 turned in good condition. 



Xlie I\eM- 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 $2.50, we sell this at $1.00, postpaid; 

 or club it with the Bee Journal for one 

 year— both together for -Sl.OO.
