AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



exhibition over 50 samples of honey, na- 

 tive and foreign. This collection Mr. Cut- 

 ting will put in uniform glass packages, 

 and present to the State Agricultural Col- 

 lege, at Lansing. 



Mr. Cutting also kept on exhibition all 

 the time a generous sample of honey-candy. 

 He has been experimenting on this kind of 

 candy for several years. It has the appear- 

 ance of snow-white marble, and is just de- 

 licious, retaining its honey flavor. Bro. 

 Cutting says that when he gets it perfect, 

 so that any one can make it, he will give 

 full directions for its manufacture. That's 

 just like him— alway helping in a good 

 way, freely and unselfishly. 



The first exhibit shown in the cut is Geo. 

 E. Hilton's pyramid of comb honey, with 

 Messrs. Boyden's extracted honey in Muth 

 honey-jars standing in all the niches and 

 projections. Mr. Cutting's samples are at 

 the base. 



Next came a pyramid of extracted honey 

 over 7 feet high (owned by Mr. D. G. Ed- 

 miston), with two smaller pyramids. Next 

 is the round pyramid of comb honey be- 

 longing to Hon. R. L. Taylor, the splendid 

 superintendent of the Michigan Experi- 

 ment Apiary. 



In the front end of the case proper, is the 

 large pyramid of extracted honey loaned 

 by Mr. Byron Walker. This was over 6x4 

 feet at the base, and 8 feet high. 



In front was a fine display of honey in 

 fancy glass packages, also Mr. M. H. Hunt's 

 wax exhibit. 



The Michigan exhibit captured seven 

 awards in all, which is a remarkable record, 

 considering the very small number of ex- 

 hibitors from that State. But then, Michi- 

 gan has always been " right in it," when it 

 comes to honey displays at fairs, ^d she 

 likely always will be. We imagine we can 

 almost hear our patriotic Michigan readers 

 exclaiming, "Hurrah for Michigan!" 

 That's all right, but don't forget to " hur- 

 rah " for Bro. Cutting at the same time. 

 He deserves it, and more. 



Tlie "l>ec»»" I„:il)el.— All whose 

 address labels on their Bee Journal wrap- 

 pers read "Dec93," will please remember 

 that their subscriptions expire with the end 

 of this month ; and they are all most earn- 

 estly invited to renew, which we trust they 

 will do promptly. 



It has been the rule of the Bee Jouhnal 



for years to send it right along until the 

 subscribers order it discontinued, and pay 

 up all that is due, believing that the great 

 majority of readers so prefer it. Now, it is 

 very little trouble to drop us a postal card 

 if you do not want the Bee Journal after 

 your subscription expires, and it is scarcely 

 any more trouble to renew your suhseription, 

 so why not do the latter ? We need your 

 company, and you want — yes, need — the Bee 

 Journal, so we earnestly invite you all to 

 remain with us during 1894— yes, and some 

 more after that, we hope. 



Bi-o. Ideally, in the December Progres- 

 sive Bee-Keeper, takes Bro. Alley to task, in 

 a very kindly way, for suggesting that the 

 editor of the Bee Journal was doing his 

 own "Random Stingering." Had Bro. 

 Alley read the item on page 551, he wouldn't 

 have made the mistake he did. We there 

 said that " ' The Stinger ' lives more than 40 

 miles away from Chicago," and that he is 

 a " single " Stinger. In the list of ladies 

 present at the Chicago convention is Mrs. 

 York's name, so over 200 people that were 

 there know that we are not doing the 

 "stinging" in the Bee Journal. Bro. 

 Alley will have to put his "specs " on after 

 this when he reads. 



Have Yoii Trietl to get a new sub- 

 scriber for the Bee Journal this fall ? We 

 offer to throw in the balance of this year 

 free to new subscribers for 1894, besides 

 their choice of one of the books offered to 

 them on page 767 of this Journal. Then 

 we also give a premium to a present sub- 

 scriber Who will send in new ones. It seems 

 to us that our liberal offers this fall ought 

 induce every one of our readers to aid in 

 doubling the circulation of the Bee Jour- 

 nal within six months. Why not help do 

 this, and then see what a grand journal M-e 

 can furnish to everybody when once the 

 increased number of readers is secured ? If 

 each present reader would send only one 

 new subscriber besides his or her own re- 

 newal before Jan. 1st, the thing would be 

 done. Will you do it, reader ? 



*»Xl»c Hoiiey-Bee: Its Natural 

 History, Anatomy and Physiology," is the 

 title of the book written by Thos. Wm. 

 Cowan, editor of the British Bee Journal. It 

 is bound in cloth, beautifully illustrated, 

 and very interesting. Price, $1.00, post- 

 paid ; or we club it with the Bee Journal 

 one year for $1.65. We have only four of 

 these books left.
