the center row of each super we put pieces 

 of comb tor starters instead o£ the other 

 foundation. The bees seem to start to work 

 in the sections quicker with such baits. 



We have a shade for all of our hives, 

 made out of common pine-boards. They 

 keep the hives and covers from warping, 

 besides giving the bees a lot of shade. 



Quite a lot of sumac grows around here, 

 but it was frozen black this year. The 

 leaves have all grown out full size again, 

 and some of them have small buds, so I 

 think they will bloom again. 



Fruit will be quite scarce in this part of 

 the country, as it was nearly all killed by 

 the frost. Some places on high ground it 

 was not damaged much. 



The red raspberry blossoms seem to yield 

 quite a bit of honey here. It blooms for 

 such a long time. My bees have not 

 swarmed yet this year, but they seem to 

 be quite strong. Chas. D. Handel.

Bee-Business in Hard Luck. 



The bee-business seems to be in hard luck 

 north of the 4',lth parallel. Unless rain 

 comes in a few days, the crop of 1S95 will 

 be a very short one. One thing certain, 

 there will be no basswood— the frost in 

 May cooked it. I hope our brother bee- 

 keepers across the line may be more fortu- 

 nate. I have a few colonies that have con- 

 siderable honey stored in the upper stories.

"Pears Self-Impotent." 



This is the heading of an item in Rev. E. 

 T. Abbott's " Notes and Comments " in the 

 Bee Journal for May 30, in which he says 

 that the bee-keepers of the country owe 

 " Special Agent ■' Waite a vote of thanks 

 for producing such a valuable addition to 

 the literature of this important subject. If 

 Mr. Abbott, or Mr. Waite, will come to this 

 part of the country I will show them a 

 Bartlett pear-tree with pears on it that 

 stands fully half a mile from any other 

 pear-tree that has ever bloomed. If Bart- 

 lett pollen is impotent, what fertilized that 

 pear-tree ? This tree is a living witness to 

 the unreliability of all experiments that 

 are made by covering fruit-bloom and at- 

 tempting fertilization by artificial means.

Bees All Right Again. 



Everything in regard to my bees is in 

 first-class shape. The trouble mentioned on 

 page 378, left the bees the Wednesday fol- 

 lowing the Sunday that they were taken so 

 badly. Their flight was southwest in the 

 time of their trouble, towards a large mar- 

 ket garden. They changed Tuesday after- 

 noon to southeast, and everything is all 

 right. I have three large swarms, and one 

 after-swarm. I had some trouble with my

SENSATION OF DROWNING. 



Some people contend thatit'squite pleasant, 

 but you will notice they keep up a vigorous 

 kicking, and struggling to get out and will 

 even "grasp atstraws." 



It is the same way with those who make or 

 sell wire fence without elasticity. They try 

 to appear hnppy but flop from one scheme to 

 anotliur. Afti'r being swept under by a big 

 coiled spring wave, they come up spluttering 

 "can swim as well as the Page." End springs 

 and ratcliots are the "straws" that deceive 

 the in.
