Father Langstroth is thus re- 

 ferred to by Dr. C. C. Miller in a 

 " Straw" in Gleanings : 



Have you sent to Father Langstroth 

 the amount you promised ? If you made 

 no promise, it would be a nice thing 

 anyhow to send something to him. We 

 owe him much, and he ought not to lack 

 in his few last years. 



Address thus : Rev. L. L. Langstroth, 

 120 Ford St., Dayton, Ohio. 



Mr. C. E. Mead, a bee-keeper in 

 the city of Chicago, who has now 8 or 

 10 colonies, presented us with a fine 

 sample of sweet clover comb honey, for 

 which we say, "Thank you." Mr. Mead 

 is 3 miles directly west of the Court 

 House, and keeps his bees in the back 

 yard. They do not disturb the neigh- 

 bore, either. 



Another Union for bee-keepers 

 is proposed, to be organized for the special 

 object of putting a stop to the nefarious 

 practice of adulterating honey. This is 

 a project that will command the earnest 

 attention of every producer of honest 

 honey, and £lso strike terror in the 

 ranks of the diabolical adulterators. 



Mr. J. F. Mclntyre, in Gleanings, 

 opens the subject of " another bee-keep- 

 ers' union for the express purpose of 

 fighting the adulteration of honey ;" 

 but we agree with Bro. Root, " that it 

 might be more feasible to modify the 

 constitution of the existing Bee-Keepers' 

 Union so as to cover the objects " as 

 stated by Mr. Mclntyre. In a communi- 

 cation from Mr. Thomas G. Newman, 

 the efficient General Manager of the 

 present Bee-Keepers' Union referred to 

 by Bro. Root, we are told how the new 

 work could be embraced, and the con- 

 stitution changed so as to permit of un- 

 dertaking the prosecution of honey 

 adulterators, as well as those who are 

 foolish enough to think that they can 

 have bee-keeping declared a nuisance. 



Before saying more, we desire to urge 

 all of our readers to peruse carefully the 

 following from General Manager New- 

 man, as he not only speaks of the 

 glorious record of triumphant victories 

 won by the National Bee-Keepers' 

 Union, in its eight years of splendid 

 work, but also makes some excellent 

 suggestions relative to the subject un- 

 der discussion : 



To Members of the Bee-Keepers' Union : 



In Gleanings in Bee-Culture for Aug. 

 15th, Mr. J. F. Mclntyre suggests a 

 matter of considerable importance for 

 deliberation at the coming meeting of 

 the North American Bee-Keepers' Asso- 

 ciation at Washington. He says : 



I would urge all honest bee-keepers 

 who meet in Washington next fall, to 

 organize another bee-keepers' union for 

 the express purpose of fighting the 

 adulteration of honey. I believe such a 

 union would soon have ten times the 

 strength of our present one, because we 

 are all interested in this matter, except
