His Honor, Judge Gray, is nothing
if not polite to the ladies. The other
day he had two pretty milliners in his
court in q civil case involving the
price of show window. The Judge
had prepared for the occasion with a
clean shave, new collar and bewitch-
ing bouquet on his desk, but it was of
no avail; the law was against the fair
clients, and of course the court had to
decide accordingly. The Judge now
bewails his sweetness wasted.

10 Our Brother 8ee- e-keepers.

1t will doubtless be gratifying to
every apiarian who reads the Weekly
HERALD to know that arrangements
have been made for an agricultural
department in its columns.
We have concluded to take charge
of this department for the present, and
will devote our efforts to make it both
interesting and beneficial to all those
engaged in this branch of industry,
which has been solong neglected and
which as L science. is as we believe,
but in its infancy.
The discoveries and improvements
made in this department the past few
years by some of the most learned and
scientific men of the age has awakened
an interest in this department of in
dustry, both in Europe and America.
There is perhaps no country in the
world where nature offers greater in
ducements for the pursuit of this
pleasing occupation than Southern
California, where climate and pasture
age is so favorable with so little labor
and so remunerative. 1t is only through
the medium of the press that apia-
rians can keep pace with the advance
ments that are being made in their
department. Interchange of opinion
is essential for our advancement-w
therefore urge our Bookkeeping friends
to free Interchange Of opinion on the
various topics pertaining to their oc-
cupation through the columns of the
HERALD. We hope to hear from our
friends in different parts Of the country
whenever they have anything of inter
est to communicate, Owing to our
limited pace, we request that all COM
municatlons be as brief as possible
We will endeavor to give not less
than one column of matter pertaining
to agriculture each week which will re-
late more directly to bee keeping in
this country than can be found in any
Eastern Bee journal. All communi-
cations to this department should be
addressed to

A Contemplate Monopoly.

Probably the most illiberal, pie
ayune extortion that ever disgraced a

Western Union Telegraph Company.
It's lines were built almost entirely
from subscriptions, donations and sub

of the people, yet it never loses an op-
portunity to combine with the few to
impose upon and extort money from
the many. 1t sold itself to the Asso-

Never since the earliest history of
Bookkeeping in California has the
honey crop been more promising than
the present. For the past month bees
have been storing surplus honey.
They seem to appreciate that this is

We would call special attention to
the article on Foul Brood, from the
pen of John P. Bruck, one of our most
intelligent Bee-keepers. This much
dreaded disease has already made its
appearance in some parts of Southern
California. For many years it has
been thought that the only remedy
was the determination of the colony
infected, but it now seems that there
is Balm in Glead." Let every Bee
keeper preserve copy of this remedy
as it might be money in his pocket.
Should any one have occasion to ap-
ply the remedy, they will please re-
port success.
