enough to become members of the or- 

 ganizatious that work In the interests of 

 bee-keepers. Farther than this we think 

 an appropriation useless. 



G. W. Deraaree — Leave it in the State 

 treasury. Thousands of people of our 

 times who have a dread horror of 

 modern " Socialism," are willing to prac- 

 tice the modern doctrine in an exclusive 

 way. Universality, or not at all, is sim- 

 ple honesty. 



G. M. Doolittle — Use it for reform lit- 

 erature to agitate so thatafJ bee-keepers 

 may not come to a state of serfdom. 

 The high-priced (gold) dollar costs three 

 times as much of our product to buy as 

 formerly, and bee-keepers are fast be- 

 coming a race of slaves. 



Allen Pringle — If the appropriation is 

 an annual grant, a thoroughly organ- 

 ized State association ought to take 

 charge of aud expend the money in the 

 interests of bee-culture in that State — 

 by promoting the organization and afiBli- 

 ation of local societies to itself, etc. 



Queens and Queen-Rearinsr.— 



If you want to know how to have queens 

 fertilized in upper stories while the old 

 queen is stiU laying below ; how you may 

 safely introduce any queen, at any time of 

 the year when bees can fly ; all about the 

 diflferent races of bees ; all about shipping 

 queens, queen-cages, candy for queen- 

 cages, etc. ; all about forming nuclei, mul- 

 tiplying or uniting bees, or weak colonies, 

 3tc. ; or, in fact, everything about the 

 queen-business which you may want to 

 know — send for Doolittle's '-Scientific 

 Queen-Rearing " — a book of over 170 

 pages, which is as interesting as a story. 

 Here are some good offers of this book:

Honey & Beeswax Market Quotations. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, and, so far as possible, quota- 

 tions, are made according to these rules: 



Fancy.— All sections to be well filled : combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly at- 

 tached to all four sides; both wood and comb 

 unsoiled by travel-stain, or otherwise; all the 

 cells sealed except the row of cells next the 

 wood. 



No. 1.— All sections well filled, but combs 

 uneven or crooked, detached at the bottom, 

 or with but few cells unsealed: both wood 

 and comb unsoiled by travel-stain or other- 

 wise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classi- 

 fied according to color, using the terms white, 

 amber and dark. That is. there will be "fancy 

 white," "No. 1 dark." etc.
