GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

on such a diet. Another thing, I omitted mentioning 

 baked apples. Nice ripe apples, briked without any 

 sugar, with graham bread and milk, make about .is 

 wholesome a diet for nie most of the time as any thing 

 I know of. Just now I am greatly enjoying baked 

 C.ravensteins. 



A word about milk. I'or some time past, Mrs. Root 

 has been sterilizing all of our milk by warming it up 

 to 130 by a daily thermometer. This not only makes 

 it much easier of digestion (for it is perfectly free from 

 bacteria), but it keeps a very much longer time with- 

 out souring. She .says she would not be without one 

 of these clieap ilairy thermometers for almost any 

 thing. The amount of milk saved this way from 

 spoiling would soon pav for it. This temperature does 

 not injure the taste of the milk at all, and does not 

 seem to hurt it for raising the cream. 



FREE .ADVERTISING OF HONEY-I>I,.ANT .SEEDS, ETC. 



We try to be very careful not to let any i hing get into 

 the reading columns of Gleaxint.s that can be classed 

 as free advertising: in fact, we are receiving commu- 

 nications almost all the time, which, on investigation, 

 we find are simply schemes to get ndvertiting-matter 

 free. The following will explain itself: 



Mil. RoOT:-.\fter readiiiK the article on page 761 I wrote 

 Mr. Watts, enclosing direct fd and stamped envelope, asking 

 him to send me a few seeds of the plant mentioned in the 

 article referred to, and received tlie enclosed reply. I don't 

 think I shall invest at the price mentioned. 



Harrisville, K. I., Sept. 14. Wm. J. Tracy. 



Below is the answer friend Tracy receive, d: 



Dear Sir:— Your letter is at hand, asking me forthe olive 

 seed. I have some left. You can get them at .50 cts. per iloz- 

 en. I can send as many as live dozen in a single letter. If 

 yon honor me with your order I will give you instructions 

 now and when to plant. A. C. VVatts. 



Nettie, Texas, Sept. 6. 



If Mr Watts has any thing to say by way ot defense 

 we shall be glad to hear it The description of his new 

 honey-plant referred to, page 7(il, might encourage 

 any one in thinking the seeds weie to be given away; 

 and I for one begin to be a little suspicious of anybody 

 who has seeds he wants to^r'7(' away. AVhy not say 

 right otit plain that you can furnish seeds at 5 cts. a 

 package? Anybody who wants them would surely be 

 willing to vay that small sum.
