A WISE BLACKSMITH 



lit is not often that one runs across a rem 

 like the following in the daily papers, and we 

 beekeeiiers can "pat ourselves on the back" 

 with the thought that we have a vocation 

 while fitted for the most strenuous of labor, 

 is also well adapted to the needs (by varvlng 

 the system) of those not so fortunate in 

 health and strength. In other words, the 

 beekeeper can console himself with the 

 thought that during his declining years, if he 

 cannot attend to as many colonies as when in 

 his "prime" the number can bs reduced to 

 correspond with his strength and energy. 

 The clipping is as follows: Ed.) 



Jacob J. Lyon is 85 years old and every 

 day he stands at his anvil in Homer, Mich., 

 pounding away. When he is not blacksmith- 

 ing, he is attending to his swarms of bees in 

 the back yard of his little home a few doors 

 from the shop. 



The avei-age woman grows old more com- 

 fortably than the average man. There is 

 likely to come a time in the man's life when 

 he steps over the line between active useful- 

 ness and the enforced leisure which eats out 

 his heart and darkens his remaining days. 

 The housewife always finds tasks suited to 

 her strength. 



The necessity of labor is not realized until 



one is suddenly deprived of the privilege of 

 taking part in the world's work. There is no 

 torture, mental and physical like prolonged 

 idleness for a man who has in him the habit 

 of industry. 



Mr. Jacob Lyon is a very lucky or a very 

 wise man or both. Between his beehives and 

 the forge he has provided for old age in a 

 way that no fortune in United States bonds 

 could have done. Many lay by cash against 

 the evening years, but how many are shrewd 

 enough to cultivate interests which will keep 

 their hands and minds occupied until the end?

Bee Meetings Next Fall 



Some time ago a committee was appointed 

 to arrange the dates of next winter's conven- 

 tions on the circuit plan as far as possible. 

 Several months hav_- been required to a^-range 

 the dates to the satisfaction of all concerned. 

 The States joining in the cii-cuit and the dates 

 on which conventions will be held are as fol- 

 low; : 



1. Ohio Nov. 26-27. 



2. Illinois Nov. 29-30. 



3. Kaneas De::. 1-^ 



4. Missouri Dec. 3-4. 



5. Minnesota Dec. T-8. 



6. Wisconsin Dec. 9-10. 



7. Indiana Dec. 10-11. 



8. lowM. Dec. 13, 14, 15. 



9. Michigan Dec. 1.5-16. 



10. Chicago-Northwestern Dec. 17-18. 



From the above dates it will be seen that 

 conventions will be in session continuously ex- 

 cepting Sundays. By this plan, speakers of 

 prominence will be able to attend a number 

 of conventions without inconvenience. If the 

 dates could have been conveniently arranged, 

 less travel would have been necessary by hav- 

 ing adjoining States follow each other. Some 

 dates were fixed and the other meetings had 

 to be adjusted to them. It is to be hoped that 

 the circuit plan will prove so popular that 

 somewhat more convenient arrangements may 

 be possible another year. The location of the 

 various State conventions will be announced 

 by their respective secretaries. Some locations 

 Lave apparently not yet been selected.
