The programme of the Texas Bee-Keepers' Association meeting 

 last month came too late to get a notice in the August Review, but 

 we hope to have a report ot the meeting- in f'mc for the September 

 issue. 



We are making" a special effort to furnish members with honey- 

 containers suitable for putting- up their honey for the consuming 

 trade, and would call your attention to the extremely low price we 

 are offering gallon Tin Cans in re-shipping cases ; Friction Top Pails 

 (buckets) in any quantity, either in re-shipping cases or in bulk; also 

 Glass Containers suitable for supplying your grocer trade. 



We are receiving orders from hardware dealers for Tin Con- 

 tainers, showing conclusively that our prices are right, and below 

 that asked by the jobbing trade. 



Michigan is destined to have very little service again this sea- 

 son along the line of fighting brood diseases, as our attorney-general 

 has decided that we cannot use money before September, when our 

 new law goes into effect, except perhaps $60, which would pay for 

 but very little work. Our new inspector is "on the job," but can do 

 but little this summer on account of this ruling. 



Those wanting the inspector's service should address F. E. Mil- 

 ieu, Division of Entomology, East Lansing, Mich. 



We have the assurance that when September arrives and the 

 new law goes into effect, we will have good service thereafter.
