Queens 



aires and paupers is surely not a just one. 

 A system that causes the toilers and labor- 

 ers to go hungry, aud causes those who do 

 no real labor at all to get immensely rich, 

 is by no means in accord with the teaching 

 of Christ. A system that will cause little, 

 innocent children ( who have never wronged 

 any one) to go without food, clothing and 

 shelter, when others not a wbit better have 

 all the luxuries that human mind can de- 

 vise and make, is certainly very unjust, and 

 will not forever be tolerated by a just Uod 

 and a civilized people. 



It almost makes my heart bleed when I 

 see little children go barefooted, and with 

 an almost empty stomach, whose parents 

 have toiled by night and by day and are 

 unable to provide for their dear ones. To 

 me it is hard to see how a Christian people 

 can stand idly by and let such a condition 

 of affairs go on unhindered. If we all got 

 what we justly earn, the editor would not 

 have to wait for months and months for 

 the money due bim for bis paper, but when 

 It is toil, toil, toil, by day and by night, and 

 not get enough to have a decent place to 

 live, and good food and plenty of it to eat, 

 and good clothes to wear, it is hard to find 

 enough spare cash to pay for a paper, altbo 

 we desire very much so to do. Always 

 hoping for better times, but finding that 

 the rent or interest and taxes increase but 

 wages go down, and the price of what we 

 produce seems to get less and less, and the 

 times get harder. F. H. Joiunning.

Did Well on Fpuit-Bloom. 



I have colonies of bees in good shape. 

 They did well on fruit-bloom, and have 

 built up strong for white clover, this being 

 our main stand-by for honey. It has been 

 cool the last week, with a good show for 

 frost. We had a hailstorm the ITth ; there 

 was hail bounced off my bee-hives as large 

 as hen's eggs, leaving their marks on the 

 roof, and calling the bees out to see what 

 was the matter. 



The winter loss was heavy here, and in 



Northern Queens. 



IF YOU want the best honey-g-atherers, the 

 long-est-lived aud hardiest Queens, try a few 

 of my Northern-bred Italians—" daug-hters of 

 imported Queens." Tested Queens, 51.50; un- 

 tested, $1.00; 2-frarae Nuclei with tested Queen, 

 $3.00 each; the same with untested Queen, S2.25.
