142 THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



Massachusetts Society of Bee-Keepers Affiliate With the National. 

 A letter just received from the secretary, Leslie A. M. Stewart, 

 states that the alcove association at their last meetino- ''voted to take 

 necessary steps to become affiliated with the National Ree-Keepers' 

 Association." We are glad to welcome this association to our rap- 

 idly growing family of affiliated associations, formerly known as 

 "branches." By the way, dropping the word "l^ranc!:" and using the 

 words "affiliated association" does not change the relation to the 

 National in the least. The same benefits and rules still hold good.
