She has written her name among the noble and useful ladies of our land, who are a blessing to the community in which they live, and an honor to their sex. It was our good fortune to have at least a slight acquaintance •with Mrs. Harrison. We had met her at conventions, and several years ago visited at her home in Peoria, 111. She was an earnest, prac- tical worker, and made a success of her bee-keeping, in which she was so deeply interested. She had been an occasional contributor to the columns of the American Bee Journal for nearly a third of a century. At one time she was perhaps the most widely known woman bee- keeper in the world. In the death of Mrs. Harrison we feel that we have lost a personal friend. Surely bee-keeping has one less faithful and devoted follower. Mr. Harrison may be assured that among bee-beepers the world over he will have sincerest sympathy in his bereavement. Contributed Articles ) Queen-Excluders—Difference in Opinion. • BY ADRIAN GKTAZ. ON page 807 (1903) is an article by Mr. Dadant saying sub- stantially that queen-excluders are at least useless. On page 231(1904) is an article by Mr. Davenport holding exactly the opposite view. If the reader willlook over those articles he will at once see that the bottom facts are these : 1. Mr. Dadant doesn't use excluders because his queens don't go and lay in the upper story. 2. Mr. Davenport uses excluders because his queens do go and lay in the upper story. Now why such differences in the behavior of their queens ? I think that the reason, or rather the two reasons, for such a difference can be easily " located. " 1. Difference in size of brood-nest. If the reader will turn to page 152 of L,angstroth Revised, he will see that a brood-nest large enough to accommodate a good queen should contain about 1700 square inch
