 quick and run after me, and stop me In 

 my work. But It Is very provoking to 

 have such neighbors. You mention

 that If they can't make a success with- 

 out a paper they will quit the business.

Rather Discouraging. 



We are having the poorest honey year 

 In this vicinity that was ever known, so 

 old bee-keepers tell me. I have not had 

 five pounds of honey in one of my hives 

 since before June 1. It Is rather dis- 

 couraging to a beginner like myself, but 

 I will hope for a better season next year. 

 It Is so dry that no hooey was In the 

 flowers. H. F. Strang.

Honey of any kind Is very scarce in
