Mr. Byron Walker shows some fine samples of honey in boxes which are not regu- 

 larly entered. In the opinion of tlie judges his samples are worthy of a first pre- 

 mium. 



In the opinion of the committee the honey extractor exhibited by the Agricultural 

 College is a better size, and for practical use fully equal or superior to the extractor of 

 Dr. Whitney. Other articles connected with bee-keeping were on exhibition by the 

 Agricultural College, which the committee consider eminently worthy of mention: 

 A queen cage, a bee-feeder, a honey knife, a quilt for bee-hives, a bee vail, and Quin- 

 by's bee smoker; also the Gallup frame. These articles are of the most approved pat- 

 tern, and we feel that the thanks of the Society are due to Prof. Cook for placing these 

 modern conveniences where they can be seen by those interested in bee matters. 

 There were also on exhibition in the same connection specimens of Long's comb 

 foundation, the invention of which is a great stride in the progress of bee culture.
