than do the fish in the sea, or the birds 

 that fly over the land. If the land- 

 owner keeps bees he can not confine 

 them to his own land unless he owns a 

 large tract, in which case he can cer- 

 tainly prevent others from establish- 

 ing apiaries. As a rule, bee-papers 

 urge many people to go into bee-keep- 

 ing because it is to their interest to do 

 so, but there is a limit to all things ; 

 and short crops, low prices, winter 

 losses, and the good common-sense of 

 many farmers, keep things level, and 

 make it possible for those in the busi- 

 ness to sell their product for a reason- 

 ably fair price. There is a campaign 

 of education going on all the time, 

 educating the general public to use 

 honey. If this work was not kept up 

 honey would be only a drug on the mar- 

 ket at the present stage of the business.

Beedom Boiled Down 



] 



Apiarian Display at St. Louis. 



Some are inclined to call down Edi- 

 tcr York, of the American Bee Journal, 

 for asking, " Who is Mrs. Berthe ?" 

 It is our opinion that Editor York was 

 fully justified in asking just as he did. 

 It will probably be remembered by our 

 readers that The Modern Farmer was 

 the first to ask this question. But it is 

 now altogether too late to attempt to 

 make the bee and honey display what 

 it should be, or what the importance of 

 the industry would demand. This po- 

 sition should have been given to some 

 man who has been prominent in the 

 industry for years, who is well known 

 all over the country, and a member of 

 the National Association, and not a 

 woman who is known only in her 

 own State, is not a member of the Na- 

 tional Association, and probably never 

 attended one of its meetings. Who- 

 ever made this appointment, let his in- 

 tentions be ever so good, showed either 

 great ignorance of the bee-keeping in- 

 dustry of the country and its commer- 

 cial importance, or else a total disre- 

 gard of the qualifications necessary to 

 make an enterprise of this kind a suc- 

 cess. We apprehend, however, that no 

 one, let him be ever so well equipped 

 for this work, could have made a suc- 

 cess of it under the circumstances. Be- 

 sides, we doubt if any one well 

 equipped would have accepted the po- 

 sition under the circumstances in 

 which it was given to Mrs. Berthe. As 

 we said in a former article it was 

 doomed to failure from the start. 

 There was no possibility of success, 

 owing to the fact that it was too late 

 to gather together a creditable display 

 of honey and apiarian supplies. — Mod- 

 ern Farmer and IJusy Bee. 



A History of Alfalfa. 



The name alfalfa is of Arabicorigin, 

 and has persistently followed the plant 

 through Latin America and into those 

 parts of America into which the Span- 

 iards introduced it. The plant is not 

 unknown in the Kastern United States, 

 having been introduced a number of 

 times from Western Europe, especially
