honey any one could wish to see. I ran 

 one coloDy tor extracted honey, and it 

 filled 24 Hoffman frames above the brood- 

 chamber; from the latter I would not ex- 

 tract. E. L. Etheriuge.

Had a Good Season. 



I am just getting started in the bee-busi- 

 ness. We have had a good season. From 

 20 colonies in the spring I have taken about 

 1,500 pounds of honey. G. L. Vooriiees.

Clark Co., Wis., Convention. 



Some of the bee-keepers of Clark county. 

 Wis., met in Greenwood, Sept. 10, for the 

 purpose of organizing an association to be 

 known as the " Clark County Bee-Keepers' 

 Association." 



The following officers were elected : Pres- 

 ident, L. Allen ; Vice-President, P. Kline ; 

 2nd Vice-President, Geo. Drinkwine; Sec- 

 retary, Chas. Pratt, of Greenwood; Treas- 

 urer, C. T. Haskins. 



It was decided to hold the next meeting 

 in Greenwood, Oct. 20, 1898, at which time 

 we shall adopt a constitution, fix the an- 

 nual dues of members, and transact such 

 other business as may be necessary. All 

 who feel interested are invited to attend. 

 Chas. Pratt, Sec. 



Endorses Plain Sections and Fences. 



I want to speak a good word for the plain 

 sections and fence separators. This is my 

 first year's trial, and the result is very en- 

 couraging. I get 2'^ cents a pound more 

 for my comb honey put in the plain sections 

 than I do for the others. The plain are filled 

 out much better, and are more attractive. I 

 can get r2i,i cents a pound for these readily 

 when the 4i4x4'4 go beggiug at 10 cents a 

 pound; in the use of these tall sections and 

 separators I have obtained at least one- 

 third more honey. I propose another year 

 to use none other than the plain sections 

 and fence separators. L. Allen.

liiglit Honey Crop. 



The honey crop is very light in this sec- 

 tion — not more than one-half that of last 

 year, but prices are a little better.

Thumb-Tacks Made from Dies. 



I am a beginner in beekeeping, and so 

 have not been troubled by the record prob- 

 lem yet, but I was very much interested in 

 John Atkinson's article on page 5(52. From 

 past experience in another line it occurred 

 to me that Mr. Atkinson could make his 

 own thumb-tacks by the use of a set 

 of steel dies. By the use of a steel die, 

 numbers, letters, or words, can be stampt 

 on pieces of sheet copper. For use inside 

 the hive the numbers could be on little 

 strips of copper long enough to bend over 

 the the top of a frame with the fingers. For 

 outside work the corners could be turned 

 at right angles and prest into the wood. 

 Where rough usage was expected the little

Short Honey-Flows. 



The spring and summer flow of honey 

 was very short, and of very poor quality. 

 The fall flow is better, and ot good quality. 

 White clover seemed to yield no honey at 

 all, or not enough to be noticed in with the 

 dark honey. Edw. Smith.
