Dear Sir: Ihave received several numbers
of your bright and useful little paper and en-
close shillings pence postal order, for IL
have found some useful information already.
Our British bee journals are little bit too
formal, bit too heavy Yours very truly.
Sidmouth, Devon, England July Is, 1904.
Inclosed you will please find so cents as
subscription for the Rural Bee-Keeper. I read
the copy you was so kind to hand me May 18th,
and am very well pleased with it, and every
bee-keeper in our beautiful and well adapted
St. Croix Valley ''for bees should read it.
Wishing you success in your undertaking, 1 am.
Very truly yours GEO. STECKMEYER.
River Falls, Wis,
/ must congratulate you on the reading mat
ter you have in the Rural Bee-Keeper it is all
that could be desired, and just what 1 have
been wanting. l take seven bee papers and
consider yours only equaled by one or two
Every number so far has been worth more than
the subscription price to me. Wishing you
success, I remain, JAMES 7. FENNELI
Beverly, N. j., July II, 1904.
Dear Sir; delayed answering your letter
until had read the June number of the Rural
an-l< 60 40 haa Is -
p years experience, am more than pleased
with 1t, regardless of assertions by some that
the publishing in this line was already over
done; and If the improvement continues il will
certainly be second to none in its first year of
publication. l consider the June number alone
worth several years subscription to any PRAC-
TICAL, LIVE bee-keeper, and will say let the
good work go on and on. You have a good
field. and the fact of our having bee journal
published in our own state should be a lasting
stimulant to all bee-keepers of Wisconsin and
the Northwest, and so cents certainly cannot
be invested to better advantage.
Yours truly ELIAS Fox.

TO SUCCEED QUAY.
An Extra Session viii Probably Be
Called to Elect Senator.

Harrisburg, Pa. June IA conference
to determine whether the senatorial va
cancy created by Senator Quay's death
shall be filed by appointment or by an
extra session of the Legislature. was held.
tonight. at the executive mansion between
Gov. Pennypacker. United States Senator
Penrosc and Insurance Commissioners
Burnham. who control the situation. The
governor spent several hours, today, ex-
anining the law on the subject and 1t Is
thought reached a decision and will an
nounce it IN the near future.
The opinion still prevails here that an
extra session of the new Legislature will
be held, next December for the election
of senator. and that the governor is in
perfect accord with the Republican state
leaders.
Those who profess to know the gov
ernor's plans say that he prefers to make
an appointment for the remainder of Sen
ator Quay's term, which will expire next
March. but that he believes under the
state constitution it is mandatory on him
to call an extra session before the meet
ing Of the next Legislature. which will
convene in biennial session In January.
