Bee-Keepers and Paners on Ailteration. 



Query 934. — 1. In your opinion, what can 

 bee-keepers do toward the prevention of 

 boney-adulteration ? 



2. What should, or can, the bee-papers do in 

 the same line ?— Mo. 



1. Do not engage in it themselves. 2. 

 Expose those who do. — Mrs. L. Harri- 

 son. 



1. Petition Congress and Legislatures. 

 2. Work with bee-keepers. — Jas. A. 

 Stone. 



1 and 2. Try to get laws passed to 

 prevent adulteration, and then enforce 

 the laws. — E. France. 



1. JJac/i. ONE put up a perfectly pure 

 article. 2. Just as they have been 

 doing. — Mrs. J. N. Heater. 



1 and 2. Sit down on it wherever they 

 find it, until we get more stringent laws 

 on the matter. — Dadant & Son. 



1. Secure legal protection, and have 

 courage enough to enforce the law. 2. 

 Give 'em— well, fits !— J. P. H. Brown. 



1. Unite together and prosecute. 2. 

 Give fearlessly all the light that comes 

 upon it, without fear or favor. — C. C. 

 Miller. 



1. Produce pure honey and fight adul- 

 teration when it can be detected. 2. 

 Keep still when talk will do no good. 

 Usually it does harm. — J. A. Green. 



1 and 2. Never have anything to do 

 with anything that looks like adultera- 

 tion. Put your brand or mark on every 

 package sold to consumers. — H. D. Cut- 

 ting. 



1 and 2. Get the world converted to 

 the religion of our Lord and Savior Jesus 

 Christ, and when all live as He taught, 

 there will be no adulteration. — G. M. 



DOOLITTLE. 



1. Solicit our representatives to enact 

 appropriate laws, and when secured, en- 

 force thera. 2. Throw the force of their 

 influence in the same direction. — J. M. 

 Hambaugh. 



1. Secure radical laws opposed to it, 

 and through the Bee-Keepers' Union, 

 which all should join, prosecute all who 

 practice it. 2. Aid in doing the above. 

 — A. J. Cook. 



1. They can abstain from themselves 

 adulterating, and supply the market 

 with a good and pure article. 2. The 

 bee-papers can condemn adulteration, 

 and expose the guilty when found out. - 

 M. Mahin, 



1. Prosecute all against whom it can 

 be proved, and by all possible means of 

 prevention, both moral and legal. 2. 

 Show the matter up as fully as possible, 

 and frown down every known violation 

 of law. — J. E. Pond. 



1 and 2, In ray opinion, the less said 

 upon this subject the better ! Let the 

 Bee-Keepers' Union have entire charge 

 of the matter ; let the war be silent, 

 aggressive and persistent. All good bee- 

 keepers "Tcnojt;, it cannot be done !"— 

 W. M. Barnum. 



1. They can avoid adulteration them- 

 selves, and disapprove of it in others. 2. 

 The bee-papers can do what the leading 

 ones have already done— cry down the 

 adulterators, recommend means for their 

 detection, and laws for their punish- 

 ment.— G. L. Tinker. 



1. Combine and work. The trouble 

 is, they are too big fools to pull together 

 on account of petty jealousies and short- 

 sightedness as to their own interests. 2. 

 Urge combination, and point out the 

 way to do this. We should do more than 

 publish— we should prosecute.— J. H. 

 Larrabee. 



1. Labor to secure good laws against 

 adulteration, and be wisely active in 

 making the laws effective. 2. They can 

 encourage inquiry as to the condition of 

 the laws, and urge that efforts be made 

 to secure good laws where there are 

 none, or where existing ones are defec- 

 tive.~R. L. Taylor. 



1. Let all join the Bee-Keepers' Union 

 and raise money enough so that Mana- 

 ger Newman can have the backing to 

 look up these large honey-producers 

 that have no bees. 2. The same as they 

 have been doing— that is, all they can 

 to expose and bring adulterators to jus- 

 tice. — S. I. Freeborn. 



1 and 2. Great Scott, what a hard 

 question ! I once heard Gov. Ireland, of 

 this State, say in a speech that the peo- 

 ple were mad at him for not stopping 

 fence cutting, just because he did not 

 put his foot on it and stop it, when the 

 fence cutters would follow the soldiers 

 and cut fences behind them. He said
