United Stales Bee-Keepers' 

 Union. 



Query 71.— Of course you are interested 

 In the success of the United States Bee-Keep- 

 ers' Union. What would you advise in order 

 that Its membership may soon be so increast 

 as to make it (the Union) of the greatest pos- 

 sible good to the bee-keeping pursuit ?— P. O. 



Rev. M. Mahin — I have no mature 

 opinion to express. 



C. H. Dibbern — I will leave this ques- 

 tion to Dr. Miller. I don't know. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — For it to show, as I 

 believe it will, that it has a tnissiOD, and 

 then to till it. 



E. France — I believe the Union is a 

 good thing. How to increase its mem- 

 bers, I don't know. 



J. M. Hambaugh — The brains of the 

 old " -ivar /lorscs " are at the helm. My 

 advice would be insignificant. 



Mrs. L. Harrison--When we have a 

 fair crop of honey, and can sell at a 

 reasonable price, we will all join. 



G. W. Demaree — I once was interested 

 in the Bee-Keepers' Union, but since it 

 has switcht off, I have lost all faith in it. 



G. M. Doolittle — Let every bee-keener 

 become interested in the Union to the 

 extent of $1.00 annually, and "the 

 thing will go." 



Eugene Secor — I advise all people in- 

 terested in putting down adulteration, 

 and all in favor of compelling dealers in 

 honey to be honest, to join it. 



Dr. C. C. Miller — Perhaps constantly 

 holding up its advantages to those not 

 yet members. Write it up and talk it 

 up. Business men advertise. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — Talk it up, sub- 

 scribe to it, and above all stay with it. 

 Make it useful just as soon as you can. 

 Perseverance and grit always succeed. 



Jas. A. Stone — That the Union protect 

 its members in the right, and the bee- 

 keepers' interests against every fraud. 

 To begin with, the adulteration of honey. 



R. L. Taylor — You have the cart be- 

 fore the horse. "Make it the greatest 

 possible good " to its membership, then 

 its membership will be sufficiently in- 

 creast. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — Formulate its 

 advantages in the strongest language 

 possible, and then to send out to all the 

 known bee-keepers in the United States 

 with an earnest appeal for their support. 



W. G. Larrabee — How would it work 

 to have small societies join the United 

 States Bee-Keepers' Union by paying to 

 it a certain sum annually, and let each 

 member of the small society be a member 

 of the Union. 



J. E. Pond — Who can advise? If the 

 bee-keepers of the country are not now 

 convinced that in "union there is 

 strength," how can any opinion convince 

 them ? The Old Union became a power 

 in the land — why should not a union 

 which is a Union work out results that
