Dear Sir:— Have used the Conqueror ir> years. 1 was always pleased with its 

 workings, but thinking 1 would need a new one this summer, I write for a circu- 

 lar. I do not think the 4-inch Smoke Engine too large.

usually lose about half of them, no matter 

 how I fix them ; while with the same treat- 

 ment I obtain much better results else- 

 where. I think the evidence is pretty con- 

 elusive that smelter smoke is the principal 

 cause of loss, because at and near the 

 smelters no bees live thru the winter. 



We are having beautiful weather here, 

 now : the hum of the busy bee is heard on 

 all sides, the trees are in bloom, and all na- 

 ture looks bright. The health of the people 

 is improving, and all are hopeful for na- 

 ture's stores in abundance. E S. Lovest.

A Leader with Poultpy and Bees. 



I have a friend that sells a little over $200(> 

 worth of honey each year from 200 colonies 

 of bees. Can any of your readers beat that? 

 If they can I would like to hear from tbem. 

 I also have a friend in the chicken-raising 

 and egg business, and he tells me for some 

 time back he has been getting 120 dozen 

 eggs weekly from :^00 hens. Can anyone 

 beat that ? G. T. Jones.

Small Loss in Wintering. 



The Bee Journal is just the paper for bee- 

 keepers. I have 13 colonies doing nicely. I 

 lost only one colony during the winter. 

 They were on the summer bench with only 

 a roof and the back closed, front open, and 

 18° below zero for a week in February.

ExtpactoF fop Shallow Fpames. 



I notice Dr. Miller asks for somebody who 

 has had experience to answer Iowa's ques- 

 tion about what kind of extractor to use for 

 5'n-inch frames, on page 247. This is just 

 the size of my extracting-frames. and 1 use 

 the No. 17 Cowan extractor. The comb- 

 baskets are 11'., inches inside, so there is 

 plenty of room for two frames. I use thin 

 super foundation for shallow frames, and it 

 is all right without wiring. I have 1,000 of 

 these frames built with tbin super founda- 

 tion and no wire. 



I think 7.'i percent of the bees o«9ned by 

 farmers in this vicinity are dead. My loss 

 was 18 percent. Honey-dew was the cause 

 of my loss, I think. H. H. Porter.

Fpuit-Bloom Sppa.yed Ignorantly. 



We lost bees heavily just at apple-bloom 

 time, and I know that our farmers spray 

 their trees that I want to warn them not to- 

 spray while apple-trees are in bloom. I do 

 not know that they do. but I am almost cer- 

 tain one or more seasons they did spray in 

 apple bloom, tor those seasons there were 

 scarcely bees enough left in the hives to 

 take care of the brood, when at the very 

 first day our trees bloomed our bees were 

 strong, and in three or four days were very 

 weak in numbers. Of course, no one who 

 knew it would kill bees would do so ; it is 

 done in ignorance. 



Our bees flew strong in February, but 

 now are much depopulated, and quite a 

 number wintered out-of-doors are dead — 

 just simply died out. 



The severe winter was very hard on our 

 peach-trees. We are obliged to replace 

 many. We had a nice little orchard of 

 about 1.600 trees, about S, or more old 

 enough to bear. We had some 400 bushels 

 from them last year, of very fine, large 

 freestones, lasting about three months.
