GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



^63 



BEET AND CANE SUGAR. 



The editorial on page 757, in regard to su- 

 gars, is very gratifying to nie for two reasons. 

 1. It contains the first conununication from 

 our youngest boy, Huber, that has ever ap- 

 peared in print, so far as I recollt ct ; 2, It in- 

 dorses exactly what I have been trying to tell 

 the friends for years ; namely, that the quality 

 of sugar depends on its purity and not at all 

 on whether it was made from beets, sugar 

 cane, or something else. I have for some lime 

 back protested against space being given in 

 GlE.aningS to argue the matter ; and we can 

 certainly now, it seems to me, drop it without 

 wasting any more time or occupying space 

 with an idle discussion. Mr Gi'.more is un- 

 questionably right. 



We find the following on a scrap of news- 

 paper : 



The anti cigarette law in Mi^'nfsola has been held 

 to be constitutional. This is one of the most stringent 

 statutes ytt enacted to prevent the sale of tobacco in 

 that form. 



A reader of Gleanings who has tried Quirin's 

 strain of bees says they are very eiie getic. They are 

 out first in the morning and last at night; in fact they 

 work so late evenings that he has bsiptized them 

 " Quirin's Night Hawk-." H. G. Quirin's ad. appears 

 on the last page of cover.
