Last week the members of the south
western Wisconsin beekeepers associa-
ton held its Seml-annual meeting at
the residence of w. Il. Wallace, in this
city. The past winter has been an UNI
usually dlScouraging one to beekeep-
erS. Tlree-fourths of the bees in
southwestern Wisconsin have died
during the winter, and i'll localities
where sorghum and cider was manu-
featured the loss has been the largest.
The reason being that the honey made
by the bees from such places was poor
in quality and would not keep bees
healthy through such a long winter.
Only the pure nectar of flowers would
do that.-There was no white clover
and little buckwheat last season, and
many of the colonies had not suf-
ficient supply for such a winter. Pa
pers were read on the following sub
iects: Location of Apiary, by n. f.
France, Of Platteville; feeding ex-
tracted honey to produce comb honey,
by DR.. G. Abraham, of Fayette; win
tcring bees. by Reese Powell, of Peca-
tonica; profitable Bookkeeping, by E.
Pike, Of Boscobel; beekeeping, will it
paw, by N. +. France, Of Plstteville.
These topics were thoroughly discuss
ed after the reading of the papers hy
members present and much practical
information elected.

occurred at Montfort the other dav. A

of them left pocket book with the
landlord containing SO for safe keep
ing. The other. a short time after, APP
peared and claiming to be partner of
the first named, asked for the pocket
book and left. The first one soon ap-
peared and demanded the money of the
landlord, and when told that his part
ner had called for it, claimed that he
had no partner He then demanded
so but it was refused him. This was
doubtless an attempt to extract double
pay from the landlord. An attempt
was then made to catch the absconding
partner" but without success at last
accounts. They succeeded in raising
a wind but not much money.
