A subscriber sends in the following suggestions for the consid- 

 ation of the readers of the Review : 



Editor Review : Have two or three suggestions to submit for 

 your consideration. They may not be worth anything; if not, 3'ou 

 know where the wastcbasket is. First : Woul'l it not be a good 

 idea to publish in the Review the names of the Presidents of the 

 Affiliated Associations, as well as the Secretaries, and in connection 

 with the names of the Secretaries? Would it not advertise the

 out of his product, both in price and product? AVould it not be 

 better for the consumer and the dealer to have a more uniform 

 article? Would it not be a great help to the future National Co- 

 operative Exchange, if a bee-keeper would write and say I have 

 so much honey of such a grade, extracted and put up by so and so? 

 Would it not be education.al and help wake up some of the eighteen 

 hundred sleeping bee-keepers of Michigan, and finally would it not 

 help to stimulate the production of honey? Would not many more 

 bee-keepers take an interest in the subject if thc}^ could be relieved 

 of the unpleasant feature of the removal of their product from the 

 hives? It seems to me that there ought to be a good job for at
