miums given to those deserving, and a 

 number ot them were carried away, as 

 was shown on page 085. 



The most attractive exhibit was the auto- 

 matic reversible honey-extractor, of Van 

 Allen & Williams. All present pronounced 

 it the best they had seen. 



Our foul-brood delegate, N. E. France, 

 gave a report of the work he did in trying 

 to get the foul-brood bill through the legis- 

 lature. Although he failed, we hope to be 

 in better shape at the next meeting ot the 

 legislature to push the bill, tor our industry 

 must be protected. 



All enjoyed the meeting because of the 

 hearty welcome and pleasant reception at 

 the home of E. France & Son. The next 

 meeting will be held in Wauzeka.

[No doubt, Mr. Rice, the question-box 

 was a profitable part of your meeting, but 

 all would like to know something about the 

 "new ideas brought out " Why not give 

 a full report of those interesting discus- 

 sions ? — Editor.] 



Late Pollen Gathering, Etc. 



As I was out in the bee-yard yesterday 

 (Oct. 27) I saw bees carrying in pollen. I 

 think this is the latest I ever saw bees car- 

 rying pollen into the hives. As there is 

 quite a lot ot dandelion in bloom, I think 

 that is where it comes from. 



There is quite a change in the weather 

 since yesterday. The thermometer regis- 

 tered 63 degrees, Fahr., in the shade, and 

 this morning it registers 30 degrees, Fahr. 

 It is snowing quite hard. Wm. Craig.

IT IS A IISTAKE. 



It is a mistake to think that life is 



all a bed of roses. 

 It is a mistake to go through life 



and neglect the laws of health and 



life. 

 It is a mistake at any time to 



allow sickness or suffering of a serious 



nature to come upon you. 



It is a mistake not to take advan- 

 tage of the best discoveries of science 

 for preventing disease and banishing 

 pain. 



It is a mistake if anyone has not 

 learned that the best and most scien- 

 tific preparation for accomplishing this 

 is Warner's Safe Cure. 



It is a mistake that people who 

 are properly informed and warned do 

 not take advantage of the warning 

 and thus insure happiness and prolong 

 life. 



Tlie Biggie Poultry-Book, like its pred' 

 ecessors, the Horse-Book and Berrj-Book, is 

 overflowing with good, sound, common sense- 

 The enumeration of a few ot the leading 

 chapters will give an idea of the scope and 

 character of the book: Early Broilers, Hens 

 Expressly for Eggs, The Farmers' Flock, The 

 Village Hennery, Fattening and Marketing 

 Diseases and Enemies, Chicks with Brooders] 

 etc. Then there are special chapters devoted 

 to Breeds of Chickens, Pigeons, Geese, Ducks 

 and Turkeys, indeed the whole poultry yard 

 has been systematically and fully covered. 

 160 pages: 120 illustrations. Its low price of 

 50 cents places It within the reach of every- 

 one. It is a credit to its publishers and to the 

 Biggie Farm Library. Address, Wilmer At.
