erly inveighs against the practice of shut- 

 ting up a hive or carrying it into the cellar 

 when robbers are found working at it, for 

 being enraged at not finding what they ex- 

 pect they pounce upon adjoining colonies, 

 whereas it they had been allowed to clean 

 out the hive they were at they would grad- 

 ually have quieted down without further 

 trouble.

A Good Suggestion. 



The past was not a good season in this lo- 

 cality for honey — only a half crop, and that 

 dark and only fairly palatable. I have some 

 very fine white clover honey two years old, 

 which I find ready sale for at 1.5 cents per 

 pound. Bee-keepers act unwisely by rush- 

 ing their honey into market when honey is 

 plentiful, and get low prices. Keep it in 

 good condition for "off years," like the 

 present, and get good prices, and keep up 

 your trade. Kobt. B. Woodward. 



Perry Co., Ohio. Nov. 1. 



Bee-Keeping in Nevada. 



This has been a very poor year here for 

 honey, most bee-keepers realizing a light 

 crop, 24 sections per colony being a fair 

 average. Prices were rather low, ranging 

 from si.jtotl'i. cents, some choice white 

 bringing 10 cents. I was more favored, 

 having produced GO pounds per colony, and 

 I got III cents a pound for all of it. I also 

 have the honor of having cased the finest 

 lot of honey that was loaded at this point. 



It is not necessary to say that the '-Old 

 Reliable " has been my authority, and will 

 be so long as I can raise the *' necessary " 

 to procure it. When we can procure the 

 experience of such able manipulators as 

 Doolittle, the Dadants and others, at AlOU 

 per year, I think it money wisely invested. 



My bees are flying every day — not a case 

 of robbing this fall— and they have gone 

 into winter quarters in fine condition. 



Some bee-keepers here take no paper at 

 all. and do not want any, and I can see the 

 "benefit" they derive, most of them not 

 haviug produced enough honey this season 

 to pay for supplies and smoker-fuel. 



Reno Co., Nev., Nov. 4. Jno. W.Lyell. 



He Had tiie "Tobacco Heart." 



Mr. A. I. Root for years has been trying 

 to get those addicted to the use of tobacco 

 to give it up. On being informed that two 

 who had done so had returned to the use- 

 less and harmful habit, he wrote the follow- 

 ing for Gleanings in Bee-Culture: 



I hope and pray that they may change 

 their minds, and for the sake of health, if 

 nothing more, give up the weed after all. 

 Let me tell you a little story— something 

 that happened right here on our premises, 

 and you may tell the story to your two 

 friends. 



The man who files our saws, Mr. Albert 

 A. Herkner, has been for many years in 

 poor health. He consulted different doc- 

 tors. One called it stone in the gall-blad- 

 der, or something like that ; another, heart- 

 disease, and I guess they did not know ex- 

 actly what did ail him. He kept having his 

 bad spells every little while for two or three 

 years. Finally, some time in the summer, 

 be had to give up work entirely, and it was 

 talkt around among his friends that he 

 probably never would do another day's 

 work for The A. I. Root Co., or for anybody 

 else, for that matter, in this world. We all 

 felt sad about it. and a new saw-filer was 

 installed. But he greatly needed a little in- 

 struction, especially in regard to using the 

 saw-filing machine, by Mr. Herkner him- 

 self, and we accordingly askt Mr. H. if he
