are some tame bees scattered all thru the 

 country. I have tried the " stink bait '' of 

 corncobs and wine, but that is not satis- 

 factory, as some of the time they will not 

 touch it at all, I would like to find them as 

 soon as possible, so that I can save the bees 

 to stock up my apiary again. I have been 

 quite successful in hunting bees in the fall 

 after frost, but at this season of the year it 

 is quite diilerent. so I come to the readers 

 of the American Bee Journal to help me 

 out, L. J. Clark.

Floods in Texas Much Damage. 



We have had, I think, at least IS to 24 

 inches of rainfall since Tuesday, June 27. 

 Wagon-roads are entirely impassable for 

 vehicles; railroads, culverts and fills are 

 washt out, and the roadbed entirely gone 

 in many places in the creek and river bot- 

 toms. I had 60 odd nuclei IS miles from 

 here on the river bottom ; I am satisfied 

 that they are gone, but I can't get there 

 nor hear from there. I have bad no mail 

 for two days ; trains can't possibly get over 

 the road before Sunday. It still looks like 

 more rain— nothing to equal this in 32 

 years, so the oldest settlers say. 8ome 

 think the creeks and rivers are higher now 

 than then. E R, Jones. 



Milam Co., Tex . June 30. 



July 4. 2 p.m.— No trains since June 2Sth. 

 It is reported that the trains will get thru 

 this afternoon. The Brazos River is higher 

 than the uhleat settlers ever saw it. Reports 

 say that the town of Calvert is in the water, 

 and Hearne is jtist out of water, the break- 

 water from the two rivers (Big and Little 

 Brazos) meeting,/'/.^/ outside of town. Un- 

 doubtedly many lives are lost, but we can 

 only guess yet to what extent. Vehicles, 

 farming implements, stock and household 

 goods of all kinds have been coming down 

 Little River and the Brazos for four or five 

 days. Farms in the bottoms are all the 

 way from 4 to 1.5 feet under water noir, and 

 have been for four days. E, R, J. 



P, S.— See our convention notice below.
