RoseSf roses, everywhere ! 

 Bare and burnished sky ; 

 Lovely languors in the air— 

 That's July. 



Cherries tepid in the sun. 

 Honey-bees passing by ; 

 All rich perfumes merged in one- 

 That's July. 



lyike Many Others, Mr. John 

 Aspinwall has been afflicted by that 

 direful epidemic, La Orlppe, but he is 

 fietting over its effects now. We had a 

 pleasant call from him last week, and 

 we were assured that, although appar- 

 ently sleeping, on account of indispo- 

 sition, his '"wooden combs" are by no 

 means dead. He has been carrying on 

 experiments in many directions, with 

 bees and bee-appliances, which have 

 given results that will interest us all, as 

 soon as he can write them up. Our 

 readers may expect them in good time. 



Mr. Bd. Bertrand, editor of the 

 Swiss bee-periodical, Revue Interna- 

 tionale d'Aj^lcuUeur, has issued an 

 illustrated pamphlet in French, descrip- 

 tive of the modified Dadant hive, which 

 he is introducing in that country. 

 Sections are used in it with entrances 

 on all four sides, in wide frames, having 

 tin separators with holes in them to 

 admit the bees from one section to 

 another. It can be obtained of the 

 author at Nyon, Switzerland, for 10 

 cents. 



C. K, Mutti, of Cincinnati, O., has 

 been ill for the past two weeks with 

 internal inflammation, and at our last 

 report was still confined to his room, but 

 was improving slowly. His physician 

 gives assurance that friend Muth will 

 fully recover after some days of complete 

 rest. His many friends will be relieved 

 by the statement of his physician. 



'When Bees are to be moved long 

 distances, strips of muslin should be 

 bound over all openings to keep in the 

 bees, but let in the air. 



Tlie Hornellsville Farmers' Club Fair 

 will be held on Aug. 24 to 28, 1891, at 

 Hornellsville, N. Y. What arrange- 

 ments have been made for an exhibit of 

 honey, we are not informed. We hope 

 it will be an attractive one. C. K. 

 Mason is the Secretary. 



Xlie Exliitiit from Central and 

 South America, at the Sioux City, Iowa, 

 Corn Palace this year, will be a feature 

 that promises to attract a great many 

 visitors. A family of natives, in their 

 peculiar dress, will be brought from the 

 Latin-American country. It will be 

 open from Oct. 1 to 17, 1891. Those 

 desiring to avail themselves of the 

 opportunity of exhibiting their products, 

 will be given space and information by 

 addressing J. R. Kathrens, Secretary, 

 Sioux City, Iowa.
