work on the second, while the smallest 

 and latest swarms are now in a fair way 

 to store enough honey to winter od. 

 Like almost all bee-keepers I would pre- 

 fer more honey and fewer swarms of 

 bees. Now for a question : 



I sowed, last sprins;, about IK acres 

 of buckwheat, and i^ acre of mignonette. 

 It seems to be the opinion of most bee- 

 keepers that it does not pay to sow any- 

 thing especially for bee-feed, but in my 

 opinion the mignonette certainly pays, 

 and I shall sow more of it next year.

May Have a Fall Crop. 



My bees did nothing more than make 

 a living all season, until Aug. 20, when 

 they started in the sectious, and if the 

 frost holds off until late in September I 

 will have a fair crop of smart-weed 

 honey. I have 62 colonies.

Bees Have Done 'Well. 



I could ill afford to keep bees without 

 the American Bee Journal. My bees 

 have done well this spring, aud recent 

 rains give promise of a good fall honey- 

 flow. Mr.s. M. M. Dunnegan. 



San Patricio Co., -Tex., Aug. 26. 



Small Yield Per Colony. 



I have 45 colonies, and got no 

 swarms, but have about 20 pounds per 

 colony of comb honey. I never could do 

 much with extracted honey, tbo I would 

 like to try some. I haven't extracted any 

 for three years. Wm. A. Ridenoub.

A Cooling: Weil-Spring. 



A little spring had lost its way amid the grass 

 and lern; 



A passing stranger snoopt a well, where 

 weary men might turn: 



He walled it In and bung with care a ladle at 

 the brink: 



He thought not of the deed he did, but judged 

 that toll might drink. 



He passed again, and, lo! the well by sum- 

 mers never dried 



Had cooled ten thousand parching throats, 

 and saved a lile besides. — Farm Journal.
