[For years, bee-keepers have felt that they 

 owed the Rev. L. L. Lang'stroth— the Father 

 of American bee-culture— a debt that they 

 can never very well pay, for his Invention of 

 the Movable-Frame Hive which so completely 

 revolutionized bee-keeping throughout all the 

 world. In order that his tew remaining years 

 may be made as happy and as comfortable as 

 possible, we feel that we should undertake a 

 plan by which those bee-keepers who consider 

 it a privilege as well as a duty, might have an 

 opportunity to contribute something toward 

 a fund that should be gathered and forwarded 

 to Father Langstroth as a slight token of their 

 appreciation, and regard felt for him by bee- 

 keepers everywhere. No amount above $1.00 

 is expected from any person at one time— but 

 any sum, however large or small, we will of 

 course receive and turn over to Father L. 

 All receipts will be acknowledged here.— Ed. 1
