. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. The Man who knows it all And keeps it, we adore ; But he who knows it all And tells it, is a bore. Kerosene Oil as a remedy for bee-stings is suggested in one of our ex- changes. It says that " it will not swell any if applied ; The Fat Stock Snow, which for years has been held in November in Chicago, has been indefinitely postponed, on account of the inability of the Mana- gers to have the proposed new building completed in time. Golden-Rod has been selected as the flower of the new Chicago University, which opens this fall with President Wm. R. Harper at its head. By the way, it seems that the golden-rod is much more popular in educational circles than is the birchen-rod. Some of us, doubt- less, have reason to remember our ac- quaintance with the latter in our younger days. The Illinois State Conven- tion which is to meet at the Commer- cial Hotel here in Chicago on Oct. 18th and 19th, promises to be a good one. Mr. Jas. A. Stone, its enthusiastic Sec- retary, makes the following explanation about the programme: Friend York :—On account of the unavoidable delays in the mails and otherwise, we are unable to have pub- lished a programme in full of our Chi- cago meeting of the Illinois State Bee- Keepers' Association on Oct. 18th and 19th. Many of the most prominent bee-keepers of our land will be there. Excursion rates on all the railroads will be secured. Let every one attending load himself or herself with the ques- tions they desire answered and dis- cussed, and it is very certain that none will go away saying the programme was not a good one. We expect Dr. Miller with his songs. It is very important that a large rep- resentation of bee-keepers be there, as there will be a formal action taken, re- questing the Illinois State Board of Agriculture to appropriate such an amount as will be needed for our State to make a creditable apiarian exhibit at the World's Fair. Yours truly, Jas. A. Stone, Sec.
