PUSHING. PLUCKY AND PRO- 

 GRESSIVE BEE-KEEPERS. 



In our Februaiy issue we published 

 the full text of Ohio's new foul btuocl 

 bill, an outgrowth of the agitation ef- 

 fected by the Hamilton County Bee- 

 Keeperes' Association, and which was 

 drafted by A. E. Painter, Esq., of <Jin- 

 cinuati, and presiented by Representa- 

 tive D. R. Herrick. 



The Hamilton Association is fortun- 

 ate in the possession of several emin- 

 ently capable gentlemen, not in mat- 

 ters pevtaining to bees alone but in

 versed in science, and has faith in the

 cause deemed worthy of their eirort,?. 

 and there is no doubt that tlie nlti- 

 mate results of their labors in behalf 

 of apiarian matters in Ohio wiil be in- 

 valuable to bee-keeping interests of 

 that State. Of such is composed the 

 little group herewith presented, whioh

 note. 



The next, Mr. D. R. Herrick, republi-
