AS the permission of the writer to publish 

 the following ; 



" Forest City, Iowa, March 28, 1887. 

 W. Z. Hutchinson, Itogersville, Mich.— Dear Sir, 

 and Friend : 1 am in receipt of your pamphlets 

 ' The Production of Comb Honey.' It is the neat- 

 est little thing I have seen lately. As a work of 

 art it is as near perfection as printers in ' country 

 offices' usually attain to. I venture the opinion 

 that that cover was the work of a bee-keeper, or 

 at least originated in his (your) creative brain. 

 Nobody but a bee-kppper would have thought ipf 

 such a unique and appropriate covering. The sub- 

 ject is treated in a very readable and creditable 

 manner. 1 have liceri practicing substantially the 

 same method, except the non-use of foundation. 

 I shall try that this season. 



Respectfully Vours, Eugene Secor." 



^^ Reader, if you wish to enjoy the same 

 pleasure as did Mr. Secor, send 25 cts., and a copy 

 of the book will be sent poatpaid.

THE NEW HIVE. 



I hare many more testimonials like the follow- 

 ing, from Leading Bee-Keepers of this country. 

 See 1887 Catalogue, to know what Prof. Cook, W. Z. 

 Hutchinson, F. P. Stiles, T. L. VonDorn, F. Boom- 

 hower. and Doctors Tinker, Mason, Miller and 

 others think, after many of them have thoroughly 

 tested the New Hive : 



St. Charles, Ills.. Feb. 7, 1887. 



James HEi)i>oN:-Dear Sir : Your letter dated 

 (eh. 3rd. 18 received. In reply I cnnsaythatl have 

 watched closely, and with Interest, the discussionE 

 pro and con in our bee-periodicals In regard to 

 Tour New Hive. Although I have not as yet been 

 prepared, as you are aware, to give your New Hive 

 a personal test, yet I can say, in harmony with Dr. 

 Millers declaration, that your Invention i» one 

 that requires no practical experience, on the part 

 of any one familiar with the art. to recognize it at 

 once as a hive of very superior merits. Having, 

 dunngthepast year, given your New Hive and its 

 managemeot very carelul thought and study, I am 

 constrained to say that I believe it to be as tar in 

 advance of all other hives as the well-known 

 L/angstroth is in advance of the old box or bee- 

 gum. Isay I believe this, and in keeplngwlth that 

 belief, it is my present purpose to adopt your New 

 Hive just as soon as I can shape my plans to that 

 end. in short. I feel as though 1 cannot afford 

 to use any other hive. Having used the Lang- 

 stroth, with its best modihcations, since the spring 

 of 1858, it is with a feeling of considerable regret 

 that this resolution will compel me to bid this old 

 friend a final adieu. 



It is apparent to me that the novelty of your 

 New Hive is as wide a departure as its utility is 

 superior to all others. Notwirhstandlng there 

 have been hives with features resembling parts of 

 your New nive, still I have never seen a combina- 

 tion, nor am 1 aware of any that possesses its 

 functions. And right here is just where the inven- 

 tion and patentability exist, without which you 

 certainly would never have received the manv 

 strongand well merited testimonials which I find 

 in your Catalogue for 1887. Having for the past 2S 

 years given the laws relating to patents more or 

 less attention, 1 have no hesitation in repeating 

 the word of Prof Cook and 6. M. Alves. that the 



rubbish which is already "lugged forward," 

 in futile attempts to anticipate your claims, does 

 not' deserve a critical man's attention." ' 



As you seem to desire the foregoing for publica- 

 tion, I have taken especial pains to say nothing 

 that I might possibly regret in the future. 



Fraternally yours, M. M. Balbridge.

We have had sleighing 134 days, and we are on 

 runners yet. This Is the first general fiight mr 

 bees have had, and I had to dig the hives out of 

 deep drifts in order that the bees might have fai^ 

 sailing, l-lighty-flve wintered In my old chaff 

 hives came through with a loss of half, and manv 

 more weak. Nine in your hives packed in 6 Inche'" 

 of chafi'. and setting 2 Inches from bottom-board 

 not having a general flight in over l;lii days areali 

 in good order. Four wintered on a single case are 

 in best shape, with sealed brood. Stores the same 

 in all the hivea. Bees In the cellar are dying
