YoLffl, Sept, 29, 1892. So. 14. 



Now Doth the busy little moth 

 Improve each shining' minute. 



By hunting up your nicest comb 

 And laying millions in it. 



— E. L. Pratt, in Gleanings. 



The Postponing of the World's 

 Fair until 1894 has not been suggested, 

 so far as we have heard. Bro. Jones, 

 in the Canadian for Sept. 15th, says : 



We wonder if there is any truth in 

 the report that the World's Fair is to be 

 postponed another year owing to the 

 cholera epidemic. 



Should it be postponed, we will at 

 once notify our readers on this page of 

 the Bee Journal. Being right here 

 "on the ground," as it were, we would 

 likely hear of it as soon as any one. 



Be Sure to read offer on page 445. 



More Honey for Analysis Is 



wanted by Prof. Cook, and he desires it 

 at once. We have received the following 

 from him, and he wishes us to aid him by 

 urging bee-keepers to forward samples 

 of the honey. Read what the Professor 

 says : 



Dear Mr. York : — In our investiga- 

 tions of honey we need samples of honey 

 fram honey-dew— dark, light, good, bad, 

 all kinds ; from oak and from bark and 

 plant lice. I don't care if it was gath- 

 ered several years ago, only if it is 

 known surely to be such honey. I would 

 like 3 or 4 pounds sent by express at 

 my expense. I wish all would help me 

 in thisgood cause. If needs be, I will 

 pay for the honey. Yours truly, 



A. J. Cook. 



Now, if the reader has any honey that 

 corresponds to the above description, 

 please send 3 or 4 pounds to Prof. Cook, 

 at Agricultural College, Mich. Every 

 bee-keeper will be glad to help in this 

 matter, we are sure. The Professor 

 very much desires " to go the bottom " 

 of this thinir, so that hereafter chemists 

 will be able to tell the difference between 

 pure honey and the adulterated. Every 

 producer of honey should be interested 

 in this, and help all they possibly can. 



Did you read Prof. Cook's article on 

 "Chemical Analysis and Honey Adul- 

 teration," on page 401, of last week's 

 Bee Journal." 



Every Boy and Girl will be 

 interested in reading page 445 of this 

 issue of the Bee Journal. And we 



shouldn't wonder if the older folks, also, 

 would be much pleased. We offer the 

 Bee Journal from now to Jan. 1, 

 1894, for $1.00, to a new subscriber, 

 and give the World's Fair Combined 

 Games and Puzzles " as premium for 

 getting such new subscriber. Or, we 

 club it with the Bee Journal for one 

 year, for $1.20. 



The Illinois State Convention 

 meets at the Commercial Hotel In Chi- 

 cago, on Oct. 18th and 19th. Will you 

 be there ?
