Mb. S. T. Pettit, of Ontario, Canada, wrote us Oct. 29 ; 



" Dear Bro. York : — The ' Old Reliable' has slipt a cog 

 somehow. The last two numbers have failed to reach me, 

 and I am all out of joint. It seems like only last week since I 

 put my bees into the cellar last year, and now in a few days 

 more they go in again. How time flies !"' 



The Modern Farmer and Busy Bee is what Editor 

 Emerson Taylor Abbott now calls his paper. He has also 

 changed it to a weekly, size llxl5}-2 inches, and 16 pages, 

 raising the subscription price to §1.00 a year. It is a fine- 

 looking, general agricultural newspaper now, and deserves 

 great success. Address for free sample copy. The Modern 

 Farmer and Busy Bee, 319 Felix St., St. Joseph, Mo. 



Mr. O. 0. PoppLETON, of Dade Co., Fla., who has lived In 

 Cuba, and for years in Florida, had a long article in the 

 Florida Farmer and Frult-Grower, for Sept. 10, entited, 

 " Influence of the Coming Americanization of Cuba on Orange 

 Growing and Trucking in Florida." The farm paper named 

 is publlsht In Jacksonville, Fla. Those Interested can per- 

 haps get a copy of It by sending say two 2-ceDt stamps to the 

 name and address as given. 



Mr N. E. France, State Inspector of Apiaries in Wiscon- 

 sin, has written Secretary Stone that he expects to be at the 

 meeting of the Illinois State Bee-Keepers' Association in 

 Springfield next week — Nov. 16 and 17 — in the State House. 

 Mr. France will help in securing, or advise how to secure, a 

 foul brood law in Illinos similar to that in Wisconsin. There 

 should be a large attendance at the Springfield meeting. One 

 and a third fare for round trip on all railroads. 



Editor Leahy, in his October Progressive Bee-Keeper, 

 speaks thus of the fall season and future prospects : 



"Owing to the prevalence of fall rains and continuous 

 warm weather, vegetation has a strong growth, and the fail 

 bloom is immense. Bees will go into winter quarters with 

 plenty of stores, and of a good quality. All this bespeaks for 

 successful wintering of the bees in this locality, and points to 

 a good crop for 1899." 



Mr. and Mrs. Thos. W. Cowan, of England, will have 

 the sympathy of all the beekeepers in the world when the 

 latter learn of the great alMiction that our friends across the 

 Atlantic have met with. Our first intimation of their irrep- 

 arable loss we received from reading this paragraph in the 

 British Bee Journal for Oct. 20, which is just received : 



" With the most profound sorrow we have to announce 

 the sad news that Miss H. M. Cowan, the eldest daughter, and 

 Mr. Herbert F. Cowan, the second son, of our senior editor, 

 were passengers on board the ill-fated Atlantic Liner, ' Mohe- 

 gan,' wreckt off the Cornish coast on Friday last, and that 

 the lives of both were lost." 



Hon. E. Whitcomb, Superintendent of the Apiarian De- 

 partment of the Trans-Mississippi Exposition, wrote us Nov. 3: 



Friend York : — To-day I am in receipt of a fine chair, to 

 which was attacht a note reading as follows: 



Please accept this chair as a mark of esteem which we bold for 

 your many kind favors while Superintendent of the Apiary Build- 

 ing. L. D. Stilson. E. Kketchmer, 



G. M. Whitford. Aug. C. Davidson, 



Mrs. F. J. Preiss. 

 Of course, I value this chair on account of the circum- 

 stances under which it was presented, as well as the particu- 

 lar friends and co-workers who presented it. 



We are getting the Apiary Building pretty well cleared 

 out, and I will be away and at home early next week. 



Your friend, E. Whitcomb. 



As all know, the Trans-Mississippi Exposition closed Nov. 

 1, after a five months' run. Mr. Whitcomb can now rest at 

 home In that nice, new chair, and think about his summer's 

 work. He deserves an opportunity to sit down, and also a 

 good chair to sit In.
