 bees on the old way — square boxes and 

 black bees. My brother was the first 

 one In this part of the country to intro- 

 duce Italian bees. They are superior to 

 any I ever saw. He has his apiary

Gathered Most from Buckwheat. 



I wintered 7 colonies of bees In old- 

 fashioned cbaff-hlves ; they cast their 

 first swarm May 1, and I saved 11, the 

 last one coming off Aug. 23. I had no 

 hive for It, so I put it into a store-box. I 

 think of putting It with the weakest 

 colony after awhile. I have taken off 

 about 100 pounds of honey in sections, 

 and from the prospects I think I will get 

 400 or 500 more. I have for bee-pas- 

 ture here white and Alsike clover, bass- 

 wood and buckwheat by the hundreds of 

 acres within a 5-mile radius of this 

 place, but from some cause the buck- 

 wheat honey will be the largest crop, 

 but the majority of the people here like 

 it the best. This year's swarms I be- 

 lieve are going to store the most honey. 

 I am selling my honey now at 15 aud 

 17^4 cents a section. J. M. Ross.

A Poor Record. 



The honey crop Is very poor this year 

 in this locality, and what little we have 

 secured is of very poor quality, being 

 mostly all honey-dew. Sometime I will 

 give an account of this "heavenly" 

 honey, as some people think it comes 

 from above. It is my first failure in six 

 years, but that Is not going to stop the 

 old stand by — the American Bee Jour-

Bees Did Fairly Well. 



I see by some of the reports from this 

 county that the honey crop is quite 

 limited. 1 am of the opinion that this 

 is not general. My bees have done 

 fairly well. The spring opened very 

 favorably, and the prospect bid fair for 

 a large yield of honey. There was an 

 abundance of white clover bloom. 

 Shortly after the bloom, the weather 

 changed suddenly to cool and rainy. 

 After basswood came Into bloom the 

 bees began to store honey in the supers 

 I think this was kept up for 8 or l'!) 

 days, and then ended. Not much honey 

 was gathered from buckwheat, but now 

 honey seems to be coming in quite 

 plentifully. I think it is gathered from 

 golden-rod, wild sunflowers, asters and 

 other wild flowers. The weather Is 

 warm, and it Is comparatively dry.

Report for 1898— Sowing for Bees. 



The American Bee Journal has been a 

 very great help to me in oaring for my 

 bees — In fact, I could not get along with- 

 out It, and every number Is carefully 

 bound and preserved for reference. Last 

 spring I started in with 24 colonies of 

 bees in 8-frame Langstroth hives. These 

 Increast to 72, not counting 8 or 10 

 swarms which " took to the woods." Of 

 these 72 colonies I have sold 4, leaving 

 68 on hand. Some of the first swarms 

 have filled one super, and are now at

THE NEW METHOD 



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 Physician, and as 



A Uiiide to llealllic 



It makes tbe way from Weaknes^s to 

 Strengftli so plain that only those who 

 are past recovery (the very few) need to 

 be sick, and the well who will follow its 

 teachings <':iMiiot be sick. It is now 

 in many families the only counsellor in 

 matters of health, saving tbe 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. «lriig 

 treatment. 



All Olironic Diseases 



are considered, and there is not a curable 

 disease that has not been belpt by some 

 of the " 3>«' J/f(/io(7.s- " given here; even 

 those who have been pronounced Con- 

 sumptive have been entirely cured.
