AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



l^'otices I^eedins" Coi-rection.— 



We find in Gleanings for Feb. 1st, an adver- 

 tisement offering a certain extinct periodi- 

 cal "fromnow until Jan., '95 {16 months) 

 for 50 cts." It must be we are going to 

 have shorter months hereafter, if 16 are to 

 be crowded into the rest of this year. 



Also, the Mei'iew's advertisement in the 

 T7-ogressive Bee- Keeper contains this sentence, 

 ■which evidently was written the latter part 

 of 1893: "New subscribers will receive 

 balance of this year free." At a casual 

 glance, one might think that Bro. Hutchin- 

 son, since going into the photographing 

 business, intended to publish the Heview for 

 free distribution. 



Ome-Cent Postage Stamps we 



prefer whenever it is necessary to send 

 stamps for fractions of a dollar. By re- 

 membering this, you will greatly oblige us. 



Flie Cliaiiipion Iiicii1>atoi*s and 



Brooders are made by the Famous Mfg. Co. 

 of Chicago. Their Catalogue, which is " a 

 thing of beauty," will be sent free upon 

 application. The firm is entirely reliable 

 and able to give satisfaction. Send for 

 their artistic Catalogue. 



Xlie Biogi-apliical Sketcli and 



picture that we had depended upon to use 

 this week, failed to arrive in time to ap- 

 pear in this number. But as we are very 

 much crowded with other, and exceedingly 

 interesting and timely, matter, we think 

 our readers will excuse the occasional ab- 

 sence of the biographical department. 

 " Random Stings " has also been crowded 

 out for a time. But this will perhaps give 

 "The Stinger " a chance to provide himself 

 with a good supply of " formic acid " with 

 ■which to "preserve" or "pickle" things 

 later on. 



Tisit tlie IVorld's Fair for only 20 

 cents. See page 197. 



Xlie Ontario Apiarian Exliibit 



at the World's Fair, we take pleasure in 

 describing and illustrating this week. This 

 exhibit comprised about 4,500 pounds of 

 extracted and comb honey. 50 pounds of 

 beeswax in various forms, samples of brood 

 and section foundation, bee-hives and su- 



pers, section press and foundation fastener, 

 reversible honey extractor, improved bee- 

 smoker, swarm catcher, etc. 



The exhibit was contributed by 50 exhi- 

 bitors from various parts of the Province 

 of Ontario, who loaned their respective ex- 

 hibits to the Ontario Government, which 

 assumed all expenses of transportation, ex- 

 hibition, sale, etc. 



The honey exhibit was installed in a large 

 glass case (of which the accompanying 

 is a representation), in jars, bottles, tubes, 

 globes, tins, bell glass, cases and crates. 

 The glass ranged in capacity from two 

 ounces to 65 pounds, and the crates from 

 two sections to 12. 



The honey included linden, white clover, 

 Alsike clover, thistle, raspberry, golden- 

 rod, boneset, sumac and buckwheat.

 to the Dominion Government, to be sent to

 Belgium next May), and three or four ship- 

 ments to Minnesota, Nebraska and Wyom- 

 ing. After paying all expenses, including 

 two to three cents to customs, the honey 

 netted the Ontario producers 7 to 8X cents 

 per pound for extracted, and 133^2 to 1*X 

 cents for comb honey.
