Mr. C’s wife sends this l’hoto without his knowledge 
wishing it its a surprise to him. She also says they 
commenced last spring with 4 colonies, and have In- 
creased them to!), and taken 300 lbs. of clover honey 
which mostly sold for 30c. She, as well as some other 
bee-keeper’s wives write us excellent letters and then 
say we must not print them. Are we not excusable if 
we are a little disobedient now and then?

many of the rest of our friends has made him-

Friend P’s specialty is being able to make his

“Gallup’s" name lias become almost a house- 
hold word among bee-keepers, and wc only re- 
gret that we do not hear from him of late as 
often as we once did. Open almost any where 
in the earlier volumes of the A. J}. J ., and you 
may be sure of hearing either from or of him.

Katie Grimm, (now Mrs. H. Geiselor, of Green 
Bay, Wis.) will have to be considered the Her- 
oine of the Extractor for some years to conn: 
we fear, as no other young Miss, (or Mrs. either 
for that matter) seems equal to the task she 
describes on page 53, of A. B . tor Sept., ’71.

DR. Hamlin, Edgefield Junction, Tenn. 
Dr. H. before his decease, was one of the 
most extensive Apiarists in the South, and la- 
bored long and diligently in disseminating the 
Italians. At the time of his death, we believe 
he counted his colonics by the hundred.

but only that of his Apiary, when he was loca- 
ted at Home, Brown Co., Minn. See page 21,

Dit. J. M. Jansco & Wife, Los Angeles, Cal. 
In accordance with your invitation In Gleanings, I 
send you my wife’s and inv own Photo, as wc are both 
bee-keepers, although novices. We start with 100 
stands of bees, out of which one was killed while mo- 
ving them over a rocky road, the rest are all very 
large colonies, some bracks, some hybrids, and the 
rest Italians. WC learned the theoretical part of 
Apiculture and now wo start in practice. The bees 
work on pollen now. I have been practicing medicine 
in town, but my health tailed and I gave it up, and 
put up a bee l anche at the font of the Sierra Madro 
Mountains, about liftcen miles from town in a tine 
place. We have a line home and start an extensive 
orchard and vineyard in addition to our bees. We, 1 
mean wife and self, are great bee enthusiasts; stings 
don’t scare us, and we arc in anticipation of a lively 
season. At the foot of our house wo have over 500 
acres white sage and much other bee feed. 
Wc extend to you and your wife a hearty 
welcome, I)r. J., and shall iook forward with 
much pleasure to receiving frequent reports 
from your mountain home. May we suggest 
to Mrs. J. that although her task may at times 
be laborious and fatiguing, we hope she will 
not be wearied in well doing. Remember that 
a nation of sisters are debating whether they 
are fitted for such duties; by their husband’s, 
father’s or brother’s sides, and even owe who 
gets discouraged and gives up may may exert 
a wide influence over the rest. Think of the 
great blessing of that robust health, that is 
only to be obtained by a life in the open air, 
among the hills flowers and trees, and remem- 
ber what a great boon it will be to many, of 
your sex, if they once learn that they can thus 
he useful, and feel that their acquired skill and 
knowledge, places them, where they may not 
feel dependent on others, no matter what re- 
verses may overtake them in life.
