I>i-. <]ralliip, writing from Santa Ana, 

 Orange county, Calif., on Aug. 2nd, said it 

 is estimated their little county will have 

 200 tons of honey this season. He thinks 

 that is not so very bad as it might be. So 

 think we. The quality of the honey is ex- 

 tra good, besides. What a sweet little 

 county the Doctor must live in ! 



JPi-of. H. W. IViley, Chief Chemist 

 of the Department of Agriculture at Wash- 

 ington, is " shown up " in Gleanings in Bee- 

 Culture for Aug. 1st. We mean that a 

 splendid picture of him and a biographical 

 sketch were given. Prof. W. is Chairman 

 of the Joint Committee having in charge 

 the World's Congress of Chemists, which is 

 to meet here in Chicago on the 21st of this 

 month. We hope to meet him at that time, 



Bro. Hasiity, the Iiei'icw\s Condensed 

 Viewer of Current Bee-Writings, said a 

 great many very interesting things about 

 the old American Bee Journal, in the 

 July Bee-Keejjers'' lieview. We are going to 

 try to merit at least the greater part of his 

 generous compliments, though we know we 

 don't measure up to all of them. Many 

 thanks to Bros. Hasty and Hutchinson — to 

 the former for his good " view," and to the 

 latter for his good Re-view. 



Mr. J. M. Hooker, a life member of 

 the British Be^Keepers' Association, and 

 a very genial gentleman, called on us last 

 week. He lives near London, England, and 

 had come to visit the World's Fair, having 

 been deputed by the above bee-association 

 to look after their honey exhibit, and to 

 arrange for its disposal at the close of the 

 Fair. We enjoyed Mr. Hooker's call very 

 much, and trust that he may have a safe 

 return to his far-away home, and bear with 

 him pleasant memories of his visit to 

 America. 



Hon. K. L. Taylor's first report as 

 Michigan's apiarian experimenter, is given 

 on page 212 of this number of the Bee Jour- 

 nal. It is exceedingly interesting, and the 

 results of the experiments already begun, 

 will be anxiously waited for. Bro. Taylor 

 takes hold as if he meant to do something 

 for bee-culture, and as he does everything 

 thoroughly, his conclusions may generally be 

 considered final as well as valuable. Suc- 

 cess to the new experiment apiary and it's 

 tireless manager. 



'Flie ISritisIi Honey Exliibit is to 



be found on the east side of the Agricul- 

 tural Building, on the main floor, being 

 among the general agricultural exhibits 

 made by Great Britain. It is arranged 

 something in the shape of two sides of a 

 pyramid on a stand perhaps three feet 

 high, the whole extending about eight feet 

 in height. 



The honey shown is entirely in the ex- 

 tracted form, and of course candied, all 

 having been gathered last year. The ex- 

 hibit consists of some 900 one-pound bottles 

 of honey, all donated by over 100 members
