The Home Remedy Case 



NO DANGER IN ELASTICITY. 



Some nianufartuiers admit that it'.s a good 

 thing, "but don't want too much of it.' 

 Tlio'Way they use it reminds us of the chick- 

 en broth another fellow made by hanging a 

 fowl so as to cast a shadow on a cistern full 

 of water, then season t,o suit the taste. Our 

 people like it stronger, spring enough lo toss 

 a ton of live beef lil;o an apple in a mill race. 

 That stylo of elasticity demands strength 

 of m.'Ltcrial.

Honey Crop Above the Average. 



Bees are doing well in this part of the 

 world, and the honey crop for 1816 will be 

 above the average. Mrs. J. N. Heater. 



Columbus, Nebr., Aug. 15. 



Working on Buckwheat. 



The honey crop has been almost a total 

 failure in this locality. I have only 3(X) 

 pounds from ',(5 colonies, and there is hardly 

 any honey in the hives, but the bees have 

 commenced working on buckwheat, and 

 they may get enough for winter yet.

Mr. Editor: — In your program, on page 

 534, for the approaching North American 

 convention at Toronto, that is a queer sub- 

 ject you have me down for, to- wit: " Mis- 

 takes of Bee-Papers and Bee- Journals." 

 Now, know all men, whom it may concern, 

 by these presents, that I never consented 

 to write or speak on such a subject ; albeit 

 I did promise that I would (accidents ex- 

 cepted) write upon the following subject 

 for the convention, to-wit: " The Mistakes 

 of Bee-A'i?q)P)-« and Bee-Journals." That 

 the latter really do make mistakes we have 

 the evidence right here, for this is one, and 

 an absurd one. 1 shall certainly endeavor 

 to utilize a spare hour between this and the 

 convention in laying out bee-keepers and 

 editors — I mean their mistakes. 



Allen Pringle. 



Selby, Ont., Aug. 20. 



[Thank you, Bro. Pringle, for that cor- 

 rection. It's all the fault of the Canadian 

 Bee Journal, from which I first put into 

 type the program published on page 5'34, 

 except the last four essays and essayists, 

 which were sent by Secretary Hutchinson. 

 But I notice in the August Review your 

 subject is printed the same way. I think 

 you'll have to " go for" some other editors 

 this time. And yet I know it isn't very 

 commendable in me to copy their errors. 



Permit me to suggest that your subject 

 does not include the "laying out " of any 

 editom. If you stick to your text, you will 

 name no particular editors at all. — Editor.] 



Something About Crimson Clover. 



Crimson clover was introduced in this 

 country several years ago by the late Dr. 

 Haradine. Being a great lover of flowers, 

 he was attracted to this plant by its great 

 beauty, which is hardly exceeded by the 

 finest flower that adorns yard or garden. 

 The beautiful deep green which may be 

 seen all through the winter when not en- 

 tirely covered by snow, grows deeper and 

 brighter as spring advances, until May, 

 when the flowers appear, making a sight to 

 behold and to remember. 



At first its value as a forage plant was 

 not understood, and as a soil restorer it was 

 unknown. Everyone admired its beauty, 

 and numerous plots were grown for orna- 

 mental purposes, but years elapsed before 

 farmers awoke to its value as a regular 

 I rotation crop. It is now grown in all parts
