 24 and 25. 1897. The State Farmers' Insti- 

 tute meets the same week— including all the 

 State live stock associations— and our Exec- 

 utive Committee, along with them, arranged 

 for tills dale, in order that the Legislature 

 might be in good working condition. (Wo all 

 know what for.) There will be an etfort made 

 this winter to get a Pure Food Bill past, and 

 that means bee-keepers want a hand In it, to 

 see that the adulteration of honey shall cease 

 KOKEVEii AND KVEit. Two years ago we suc- 

 ceeded in getting an Antl-Adulleratlon Bill 

 through the Senate, but It failed In the 

 House, only for want of push. Let bee-keep- 

 ers throughout the Stale impress upon their 

 Kepresentatlves the importance of such a 

 bill, and r:ome to our meeting to refresh their 

 minds on the subject. 



Railroad rates will bo no greater than a 

 fare and a third, which will be announced 

 later. Our programs will be Issued along 

 with the other State Associations named 

 above. Jas. A. Stone. Sec.
