MICHIGAN state CONVENTION AT GRAND RAPIDS, FEB- 

 RUARY 23, 24 ; NOTE THE PRIZES OFFERED. 



The Michigan State Bee-keepers' Association will hold 

 its annual convention Feb. 23d and 24th, at the Eagle 

 Hotel, in Grand Rapids. The Michigan dairymen will 

 hold their convention at the same time and place, and 

 the bee-keepers can take advantage of the reduced 

 rates given the dairymen. When buying your ticket 

 ask for a cei-tificate on account of the meeting of the 

 State Dairymen's meeting. The secretary of the dairy- 

 men's association will sign this certificate, which will 

 enable the holder to buy a return ticket at one-third 

 fare. This is done with the knowledge and consent of 

 the railroads. Several associations often meet in this 

 way, and the secretary of one association signs all of 

 the certificates. The Eagle Hotel is located at 65 Market 

 St., corner of Louis St. It will give a rate of $1.50 a day, 

 and furnish a room free for holding the convention. 

 Grand Rapids is located in a good honey-producing dis- 

 trict, easily accessible from the northern, southern, and 

 middle parts of the State, and a large crowd ought to 

 present. The editors of the American Bee Journal and 

 of Gleanings h*ve promised to come if it is possible. 

 Editor of Review will be there. 



PRIZES ON HONEY AT COMING MICHIGAN CONVENTION. 



As an encouragement to attend the coming State 

 convention of bee-keepers, at Grand Rapids, and, at the 

 same time, furnish some valuable object-lessons to some 

 of the members, the following prizes have been offered : 



For the best ten pounds of comb honey, quality and 

 manner of putting up for market to be considered, A. 

 G. Woodman, of Grand Rapids, representing the G. B. 

 Lewis Co., of Watertown, Wis., will give $3.00 worth 

 of supplies; for the second-best lot, a Bingham brass 

 smoke-engine worth $1.75. Mr. Woodman also offers 

 similar prizes for the best ten pounds of extracted 

 honey, quality and manner of putting up for market to 

 be considered. 



M. H. Hunt & Son, Bell Branch, Mich., offer $3.00 

 worth of supplies for the best ten pounds of extracted 

 honey, quality and manner of putting up for market to 

 be considered; a Jumbo Cornell brass smoker as a second 

 prize, and a Bingham honey-knife as a third prize. 



The A. I. Root Company offers a complete Danzen- 

 baker hive, nailed and painted, ready for use, value 

 $3.10. for the best ten sections of honey produced in a 

 Danzenbaker hive; for the second-best lot. a copy of the 

 A B C of Bee Culture, worth $1.20; for the third-best, 

 one year's subscription to Gleanings, worth $1.00. 



In addition to the above, the Bee-keepers' Review will 

 give a year's subscription to the Review to every man 

 who wins any of the other prizes. 



It will be seen that a bee-keeper with a nice case of 

 comb honey, or ten pounds of fine extracted, might, 

 considering the reduced rates on the railroad, come 100 

 miles and receive prizes enough to pay all of his ex- 

 penses. Come, and bring your honey. If you don't 

 bring it you may be chagrined to see a poorer lot than 

 yours take first prize. 



It rnay be of interest also to know that the National 

 Biscuit Company will make a display of their goods that 

 are made with honey.
