" Some Murmur when their sky is clear. 



And wholly bright to view. 

 If one small speck of dark appear 



In their great heaven of blue ; 

 And some with thankful love are filled, 



If but one streak of light, 

 One ray of God's good mercy, gild 



The darkness of their night." 



Mr. G. K. Hubbard, of Fort 

 Wayne, Ind., is visiting in Southern 

 California this fall. Mrs. H. accompa- 

 nies her husband, and doubtless they 

 are having a delightful time. Mr. Hub- 

 bard is well known as a wide-awake 

 dealer in bee-keepers' supplies. Perhaps 

 he will write an account of his Califor- 

 nia trip for the benefit of our readers. 



The Adulteration of Honey 



is a subject of such tremendous impor- 

 tance — involving the very existence of 

 the pursuit of bee-keeping — that the 

 best minds of the bee-fraternity must be 

 brought to bear upon it, by way of a 

 discussion of the best means to employ 

 in order to accomplish the desired end — 

 the annihilation of the criminals who 

 defraud the public by imposing upon 

 them adulterated honey for the pure. 

 Lait week Prof. Cook opened the sub- 



ject anew, and this week the former 

 editor of the Bee Journal, Thomas G. 

 Newman, on page 697, continues the 

 discussion in his usual vigorous manner. 



That something must be done, and 

 that right speedily, is quite evident tc 

 all who are in the least interested in the 

 industry of bee-culture. The great 

 questions are — " What shall be done?" 

 and " How shall we proceed to accom- 

 plish it?" The final decisions must be 

 almost unanimous, if we expect to ac- 

 complish anything of value. The under- 

 taking will be a large one, but victory 

 will be the inevitable result of the efforts 

 of bee-keepers, if they move upon the 

 common enemy in solid phalanx, and 

 with a determination begotten of the 

 righteousness of their cause. 



Let all who have valuable suggestions 

 to offer, please do so now, so that at 

 the coming winter bee-conventions some 

 definite action may be taken, that shall 

 result in the final overthrow of the 

 nefarious adulterators, and the placing 

 again of nonest honey upon our markets. 



The Ladies' Home Journal, 



of Philadelphia, Pa., is perhaps the 

 finest monthly home magazine in the 

 world. If ordered before Dec. 20th, 

 1892, we can club it with the Bee 

 Journal — both Journals for one year — 

 for $1.60, to either old or new subscri- 

 bers. If you are a new subscriber to 

 both Journals, you will receive ours the 

 rest of this year free ; and the "Ladies' 

 Home Journal " will begin with the 

 January number.
