September, 1914. American Vae Journal knowing much in the way of driving a hoe or a harrow, the new farm hand was put to work whitewashing the out- buildings, while the rest of the staff took to the cornfields. When Cousin Hiram returned to the house at noon, Slagg was sitting on the woodpile look- ing as if he had been crawling on his face through 10 acres of sand burs. "Give me my money, boss," said he in a mournful voice. " I'm going back to town." "What have ye been doin'to yer- self?" asked Cousin Hiram, wonder- ingly sizing up the new hand. "What's happened ?" " I don't know exactly what happen- ed," was the dejected reply of Slagg, "but it started when I tried to white- wash that thing they call a beehive."— Philadelphia Tilegraph. while the imports amount to only $G8,717. The latter is inferior honey, for the price is a trifle less than 60 cents per gallon. ing more and more interesting each year. H. S. DuBY. United States Statistics The Year Book of the Department of Agricul- ture for 1913 shows importations of beeswax of 828,793 pounds at about 30,6 cents per pound. Exports of the same 116,296 pounds. The comb foun- dation exported evidently does not ap- pear in this amount, for the price given of the beeswax exported is less than 30 cents per pound. Perhaps there is some error in the reckoning. Honey exported amounts to $182,252, Tlie Field Day at St. Anne The pic- ture sent under separate cover is a part of those present at the field meet of the Eastern Illinois Beekeepers' Asso- tion, which met at St. Anne. 111., July 11, and was one of the best ever held in Illinois. Over 75 were present, and it was evident that the crowd would be too large to have all of them at one time in the yard at good advantage, so two groups were formed; the first with I. E Pyles, who took excessive pains to instruct his hearers. The second group was under the care of A. L. Kildow, and was mostly ladies. Mr. Kildow was at his best, and aston- ished some of the ladies the way he handled "those bees," and "did not get a sting." Veils had been provided for the occasion, though the bees were very gentle and no one was stung. After the demonstration the people went to the shady lawn where the two inspectors gave lectures to a very at- entive audience. After many thanks to H. S. Duby for his kindness in letting them have the use of his yard and disturbing " his bees," the meeting adjourned. This was the 4th annual meeting held in St. Anne. These meetings are grow- Tlie Mt. Pleasant Meeting.—Starting from our home at 5:30 on the morning of July 28, with an automobile, we reached Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, 50 miles away, at 8:10. Comingfrom the north, with his wife and daughters, Frank Coverdale living 118 miles away, started at 4 a.m., and reached the place of meeting a little before noon. In this day of speed, two farmers may leave their homes on the opposite edges of some of our great States, get together for a talk and go back home the same day, without having to bother with train schedules. What will it be when we succeed in building decent roads throughout the United States ? These are needed, for a sudden rain puts an end to all the pleasure of such trips. The meeting at Mt. Pleasant was only fairly attended when we compare it with previous meetings at other places. But it made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers. The sessions were held in the ancient and dilapidated Court House of Henry county. A fine new Court House with modern con- veniences is just completed, and will be in use soon. We had the pleasure of meeting there one of our oldest practical men, J. A. Thomas, of Mt. Pleasant, whom I had met for the first time at a bee-
