I hare many more testimonials like the follow- 

 ing, from Leading Bee-Keepers of this country. 

 See 1887 Caulogue. to know what Prof. Cook. W. Z. 

 Hutcblnson. 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 Ulve : 



St. CHARLES, Ills.. Feb. 7, 1887. 

 James Heddon:— Dear Sir: Your letter dated 

 Feb. 3rd. is received. In reply I can say that I have 

 watched closely, and with interest, the discussions 

 pro and con in our bee-periodicals in regard to 

 your New Hive. Although I have not as yet been 

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

 a personal test, yet 1 can say, In harmuny with Dr. 

 Miller's declaration, that your invention is 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, 

 during the past year, Kiven your New Hive and its 

 management very careful thought and study, I am 

 constrained to say that I believe It to be as far in 

 advance of all other hives as the well-known 

 LangBtroth Is in advance of the old box or bee- 

 gum. 1 say I believe this, and in keeping with that 

 belief, it is my present purpose to adopt your New 

 Hive justas soon aa I can Shane my plana to that 

 end. In short, I feel as though I cannot afpord 

 to use any other hive. Having used the Lang- 

 Btroth, with its best modillcations, since the spring 

 of 1858. His 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 la 

 superior to all others. Notwithstanding there 

 have been hives with features resembling parts of 

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

 tion, nor am I 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 many 

 strong and well merited testimoniHls which I flna 

 in your Catalogue for 1S87. Having for tbe past 25 

 years given the laws relating to patents more or 

 less attention, 1 have no hesitation In repeating 

 the word of Prof. Cook and G. M. Alves, that the 

 "rubbish" which is already " lupged forward, 

 in futile attempts to anticipate your claims, does 

 not " deserve a critical man's attention." 



As you seem to desire theforedolng for publica- 

 tion, I have taken especial pains to say nothing 

 that I might possibly regret in the future. 



Fraternally yours, M. M. Baldridge.

FOR WINTER. 



HARTFOKD, N. T., April 9, 1987. 

 We have had sleighioK lis* days, and we are on 

 runners yet. This is the flrst general flight my 

 bees have had. and 1 had to dli! the hives oat of 

 deep drifts in order that the bees miuht have fair 

 sailing. Eighly-flve wintered In my old chaff 

 hives came through with a loss of half, and many 

 more weak. Nine in your hives packed in a Inches 

 of chaff, and setting 2 inches from bottom-board, 

 not having a general flight in over 130 days, are all 

 in good order. Four wintered on a single case are 

 In best shape, with sealed brood. Stores the same 

 in all the hives. Bees In the cellar are dying.
