the frost was severest. Very little pollen 

 seems to be gathered from it. It grows two 

 aud three feet high, and seems to grow as 

 well on old. wornout. rocky fields as any- 

 where. I consider it a very good honey- 

 plant, altho its honey does not rank with 

 white clover. I would like a report on it. 



It seems as if I eonld hardly wait for the 

 time for the '■ Old Reliable ' to come, es- 

 pecially since the beginning of the report 

 of tbePhiladelphia convention. Its bril- 

 liant pages seem like a new hope, and to 

 thrill the whole body, which only a bee- 

 keeper can experience.

[The asters are so numerous, and the 

 flowers of so manv are so nearly alike that 

 it fs somewhat difficult to determine the va- 

 riety unless one is pretty well up in that 

 line. Sometimes leaves are the only dis- 

 tinguishing features of a dried specimen, 

 and should always accompany the plant 

 when possible. 



I believe the plant to be Aster piniceus. 

 The flower is quite common in low thickets 

 and swamps, and in common with others of 

 its kind furnishes abundance of good, rich 

 nectar for fall storage.— C. L. Walton- ] 



Bees are Like People. 



I have concluded that bees are like peo- 

 ple, when some will do well others will do 

 nothing. I have colonies that did not give 

 me a pound of surplus, and another right 

 beside it that gave me 28— both good, heavy 

 colonies. What's the trouble ? A change 

 in administration is what is wanted, and I 

 am putting in Italian queens in those col- 

 onies that did nothing. 



The season has been bad here, dry and 

 hot. When I read about those large honey 

 records it seems queer when 1 can only get 

 25 pounds, but I get 2.5 cents for every 

 pouud. H. .\. Fisn.

A Brief Report. 



Poor season. Bees to feed. Not much 

 honey. Not much money. Looking for a 

 good season always to be better next year. 

 Looking for a horseshoe and don't find it. 

 Like Petroleum V. Nasby's man- do better 

 after to-morrow. J. V. B. Heurick.
