 more questions o( interest to mail them to 

 the Secretary prior to the convention, that

 pay his dues to the State Secretary, and for 

 the same money, become a member of both.

 of 50 cents for National dues. Kindly make 

 remittance for membership dues before the 

 meeting, to the undersigned.

E^°° There seems to be a general complaint 

 of poor galvanizing on fence-wire. The com- 

 plaint has become so general as to attract the 

 attention of the U. S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture, and they have taken the matter up with 

 the view of investigating conditions and giv- 

 ing practical information from time to time 

 to the fence users. The time was when gal- 

 vanized fence-wire could be relied on to last 

 several years, but now, in many cases, it be- 

 gins to rust soon after put up. Kitselman 

 Brothers, of Muncie, Indiana, fence manu- 

 facturers, claim to have an improved process 

 of galvanizing wire that adds much to its 

 lasting qualities. They have just issued a 96- 

 page catalog fully describing the above proc- 

 ess. Upon request it will be mailed free to all 

 readers of this paper. Please mention the 

 American Bee Journal when writing them.
