The Canadian Farmer remarks as 

 follows concerning the National Con- 

 vention to be held there at the same 

 time: ''The Annual Convention of 

 the Bee - Keepers' Association of 

 America, will be held at Toronto 

 during the second week of this Exhi- 

 bition, at which bee-keepers from all 

 parts of Canada and the United States 

 will be present. This show and the 



convention, with the lectures to be 

 delivered in connection therewith, will 

 be of special interest to all engaged in 

 this now important industry." Those 

 who can, should make arrangements 

 to attend both the Convention and 

 Bee and Honey Show. 



Later.— Just as the Journal is 

 ready for the press, we have received 

 a few lines from President D. A. Jones 

 saying that the Convention will be held 

 on Sept. 18, 19 and 20, 1883, at Toronto. 

 Further particulars hereafter. 



The Glenwood Apiary.— We have 

 received from Mr. \V. H. Shirley a 

 nice view of his apiary at Glenwood, 

 Mich., and have placed it in our office 

 album. Mr. Shirley describes it as 

 follows : 



By this mail I send you a small 

 picture of your humble servant, and 

 part of my apiary, as it looked, June 

 16,1883. The small building in the 

 centre of the apiary is a house fixed to 

 take colonies in, to handle, in time of 

 robbing. I also use it for taking off 

 honey in the fall (getting the bees out 

 of it). The larger building shown is 

 the house apiary Mr. Heddon built 

 and kept bees in two years, 1 believe. 

 I use it as a work shop, supply room, 

 etc. The picture shows about four- 

 iifths of my bees. Perhaps you will 

 think it worthy of a place in your 

 museum. White clover is yielding 

 first rate here now. W. H. S. 



Care of Comb Honey. — Relative to 

 this important matter, the Indiana 



Fanner gives these timely hints : 



If you have not got the time to sort 

 out the sections and brush off the 

 bees, set the sections or boxes in a 

 clean barrel or box, and spread a white 

 cloth over the top. The bee* will 

 leave the honey and crawl up to the 

 cloth. Turn it over at intervals and 

 let the bees out. Keep the honey 

 removed in a warm place, and keep a 

 lookout for worms. If the honey 

 shows signs of being worked, fumi- 

 gate the infected sections with sul- 

 phur. Too much will turn the combs 

 green. 



''The Poulterer's Guide, for treat- 

 ing diseases of poultry, with symp- 

 toms and remedies for their treat- 

 ment," is the title of a new pamphlet 

 of 24 pages, by C. J. Ward, editor of 

 the Poultry Journal, Chicago, 111. This 

 is very valuable for those who keep 

 poultry, and the small price at which 

 it is published (15 cents), as well as 

 the name of its author, will cause it 

 to have a large sale. It covers all the 

 diseases in poultry, and prescribes 

 reliable remedies. We can furnish it 

 to those who may desire it.
