August 4, 



A Book Recommended by Dr. Gallup. 



THE NE¥mETHOD 



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

 vised, Illustrated, and Enlarged. This is 

 the greatest and best worli ever publisht 

 as a Home Phtsiciam, and as 



A. Oiiide to Healths 



It makes the way from Weakness to 

 Strength so plain that only those who 

 are past recovery (the very few) need to 

 be siclc. and the well who will follow its 

 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 use 

 of Nature's remedies, not a drug 

 treatment. 



All Chronic Diseases 



are considered, and there is not a curable 

 disease that has not been helpt by some 

 of the '' J\>w J/f^/iof/.s '' given here; even 

 those who have been pronounced I'on- 

 snniptive have been entirely cured. 

 While for Riieiiniatisin, Indiges- 

 tion, l>yspe]>sia. Conslipalion,

 'I'roiikles, Catarrh, Ii^niacia- 

 tion, (jieneral Debility, I^erv- 

 ous Exliauslion. 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 <jiuarantec 



So confident are the publishers of the 

 results, that they offer to refund the 

 money to any one who will try " New 

 Methods" thoroughly, it the book is re-

 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

I do not know that tbey will. 2. The 

 size of the cell has very little influence, 

 if any, on the size of the bee. 



G. W. Demaree — 1. Would they stay 

 in a hive filled exclusively with drone- 

 comb ? Have you tried the experiment ? 

 I have not. If they could be induced to 

 stay on drone-combs, no doubt but they 

 would cut away at least a part of the 

 drone-comb and build worker-comb in 

 its place. 2. I have little faith in rear- 

 ing big bees by any other process than 

 that of selection in breeding. 



J. A. Green — 1. While I have never 

 tried such a thing, I should suppose that 

 both workers and drones would be 

 reared, tho a larger percentage of drones 

 than usual. 2. How could it have any 

 effect on the succeeding generation? 

 The queens would not be reared in 

 larger cells than usual, neither would 

 the drones. What have the workers to 

 do with the succeeding generation 

 further than to feed it and care for it, 

 and what difference would their size 

 malie in these respects ?

Grand Honey Season. 



We have had a grand honey season in 

 this locality this year — the best I ever 

 knew. I like the old American Bee

Wortman's Handy Tool. 



The illustration of Wortman's handy 

 tool. for bee-keepers on page 451, makes 

 it show the hammer on the edge. It Is 

 intended to be underneath to make it 

 handy, as in raising brood-frames the 

 hammer rests against a frame, answer- 

 ing for a fulcrum or stop. Otherwise 

 the illustration is very good. 



A. WORTMAN. 



Bought Foul Brood. 



I must tell what kind of a job a" bee- 

 keeper here has gotten into, only "i 

 mile from my apiary, by not taking a 

 bee-paper and keeping informed. He 

 had about 40 colonies of bees, then 

 bought 60 colonies the past spring that 

 had foul brood iii the worst form. I 

 tried to get him to subscribe for the 

 American Bee Journal, but he said he 

 could get along just as well without a 

 journal. My bees show no signs of the 

 disease as yet. E. E. Smith.

Some Blunders — Bees Doing Nicely. 



As usual, I have made a great many 

 blunders this season, the greatest of 

 which was to hive large swarms on 

 starters. Heretofore I had used full 

 sheets of wired foundation, and this sea- 

 son I wired my frames and put in a 

 starter and hived large swarms. The 

 result was drone-comb mixt in nearly all 

 my frames. It is all right for young 

 queens with a few bees, but it won't do 

 in this locality. 



I am becoming more convinced every 

 season that large hives are the thing. I 

 use from one to four 8-frame hive-bodies 

 to each colony. I supersede all worth-
