As to the cash offers, we are ready to mail them at once, 

 but have decided to suggest the following, which [we 

 thought of only last week : 



All know that a Langstroth Monument Fund is being 

 raised. Now every bee-keeper in the land will want to help 

 on that fund. Why not those who are entitled to cash 

 awards, just drop us a postal card instructing] us to sendjto 

 Mr. Secor what is due them, and let it apply on the Lang- 

 stroth Monument Fund ? 



Those g-etting the $50, are entitled to 60 cents each]; the 

 $25 ones, 20 cents each ; the $10 ones, 10 cents each ; thel$5 

 ones, 5 cents each. 



There are 406 of the cash winners, which would cost us 

 $8.12 just for postage to mail them their amounts. Now we 

 will add that two cents to each one"s amount who will drop 

 us a card telling us to send it to Mr. Secor for the Lang- 

 stroth Monument Fund. You see, if all of the 406 would 

 decide to do this, we would just mail Mr. Secor a check for 

 $98.12, which would be a handsome addition to the fund, 

 and go far toward getting a fitting monument. 



How;about it, friends ? Do you want us to do that ? If 

 so, please drop us a card at once. If not, we will mail what 

 is due in February. Or, if you wish us to make any other 

 disposition of the amoutit due you, please tell us promptly. 



Mk.'D. D. D.\niher, a bee-keeper of Dane Co., Wis., 

 was written up lately in the Wisconsin State Journal, at 

 Madison. Mr. D. has 55 colonies of bees. He is the oldest 

 bee-keeper in his part of the country. In 1879 he imported 

 12 Italian queens, for which he paid $68.42. 

 * * « » ♦ 



The Des Moines Incub.^tok Co., of Des Moines, Iowa, 

 has sent us their 5th annual catalog-, showing their ''Suc- 

 cessful '" henless hatchers. It takes 148 pages to tell about 

 them, and they mail their catalog for only 6 cents. Better 

 send for a copy, and tell them you saw their advertisement 

 in the American Bee Journal. 



***** 



The Kkeutzixger Entrance-Closer (pag-e35) we have 

 examined, and, upon testing it on our hives, we find in it the 

 merits which are mentioned. We understand that arrange- 

 ments are being- made to offer them for sale. The retail price 

 will likelv be 20 cents each. Any one desiring a sample, 

 can send that amount for it to the office of the American Bee 

 Journal. 



***** 



The Reliable Incubator & Brooder Co., of Quincy, 

 111., are a great concern. Not because they advertise in the 

 American Bee Journal, but because of their success in mak- 

 ing reliable goods for poultry-keepers. Their 1899 catalog, 

 with its 228 pages, is mailed for 10 cents to any one inter- 

 ested. Send for it. and also mention having seen their 

 name in this journal.

IS Jan. 12, when send" 



Mr. G. M. DoolittlE, writing 

 ing an article for publication, said : 



'• Hardly able to do anything. This is the first article 

 this year, action of heart is weakened, and extremities are 

 like sticks. "Tis almost painful to be using hands and feet 

 that don't seem like mine." 



But we are glad Mr. Doolittle is " on the mend," even 

 if it is slow and painful. We hope soon to hear that he is 

 all right again.

Dr. C. C. Miller, after taking time to " make up his 

 mind," wrote us Jan. 11 : 



" The Bee Journal for the new year with its face washt, 

 hair combed, and clean clothes, is a beauty. Those little 

 vignettes between the articles in the first department are 

 very neat. The more I look at the new type, the better I 

 like' it." 



Thank you. Doctor. We thought you would be pleased 

 with the " shining up " of the old American Bee Journal. 

 We have long wanted to put a new " dress" on our paper, 

 but couldn't well see our way clear to do it before. The old 

 " dress " was worn just eight years, having been " fitted 

 on " by Mr. Newman. Surely, a new one was well deserved.

C.\i>T. J. E. Hetherington — perphaps the largest 

 honey-producer in all New York State — wrote us Jan. 6 : 



" I have g-reat faith in the United States Bee-Keepers' 

 Union if its present officers will stand by it with the good 

 sense and energy they certainly possess." 



Capt. Hetherington, who is one of the " old-timers" in 

 bee-keeping, knew intimately the lamented Moses Quinby, 

 who did -SO much to place practical bee-keeping upon a higher 

 plane. We had the great pleasure of meeting the Captain 

 at the Buffalo convention, in 1897, and there formed an ex- 

 alted estimate of him and his work in apiculture. He de- 

 livered a most eloquent address at that meeting of the 

 Union, going back over the many years of his apiarian ex- 

 perience, and paying high tribute to the labors and mem- 

 ory of Moses Quinby. We regretted exceedingly that no 

 shorthand reporter was present to " take down " the Cap- 

 tain's interesting address, so that it might be preserved 

 with the rest of the proceedings of that memorable Buf- 

 falo convention.
