I Glucose Manufacturers in Conclave. 



I'ursiiant to a call for that purpose, 

 the glucose luaiuifacturers of the 

 United States met at the Grand Pa- 

 oilic Hotel, in Chicago, on the 10th 

 inst, for the purpose of devising means 

 for self-inoleclion by the organization 

 of A National Association. Referring 

 to the second day's procedings, the 

 Chicago Tribune of Jan. 12th says : 



Tlie glucose manufacturers con- 

 tinued their sessions at the Grand Pa- 

 cilic yesterday with closed doors. The 

 meeting decided to refuse the publica- 

 tion of the names of tliose present. 

 There were hfleen factories repre- 

 sented, which embraces all but two of 

 those in the country. An organiza- 

 tion w;is formed, to be styled the 

 "National Glucose and Grape-Sugar 

 .Association." Ollicers were elected 

 as follows : President, J. A. Cunning- 

 ham, of Danville, 111.; Vice President, 

 ,). Pirmenich, of Uulfalo, N. Y.; Sec- 

 retary and Treasurer, J. M. Jones, of 

 Leavenworth, Kan.; Executive Com- 

 mittee, P. \i. Veiller, of Chicago; AV. 

 r. Coast, of Iowa City, Iowa, and A. 

 Woollier, of Peoria, 111. The meeting 

 ad.jonriied suli.ject to call. Tlie Exec- 

 utive Conimittee will meet to-day to 

 deliberate on the future action of the 

 association. 



We expect next to hear of the but- 

 teriue, suine, oleomargarine and slush- 

 ine manufacturers forming a Na- 

 tional Association for the purpose of 

 protecting themselves against honest 

 dealers who refuse to handle their 

 stuff under any other than its proper 

 name. Recently, at a meeting of the 

 Chicago Retail Grocers' Association, 

 we liave been told, a resolution was 

 proposed and adopted by a large ma- 

 jority, not to handle any of the above 

 stutT in any manner whatever, and 

 we think the time is approaching 

 when glucose will be equally as 

 abhorrent. 



A Kind Suggestion. 



We are always pleased to receive 

 suggestions or criticisms concerning 

 the Bee Journal, and hence give 

 place to the following : 



I like the new size of the Bee 

 Journal much better than the old, 

 but do not like tlie advertisements on 

 the first page. We have become ac- 

 customed to look on the lirst page for 

 the valuable editorials, and think the 

 Bee Journal would look much 

 neater with all the advertisements at 

 the back. We only suggest the change 

 as an improvement — not as a com- 

 plaint. Bees are wintering well, and 

 have used but little lioney. 



Eairland,lnd. L. R. Jackson. 



The reason for devoting the two 

 lirst and last pages to advertisements, 

 was to form a cover to keep the read- 

 ing matter from being soiled, and 

 preserved for binding ; this was sug- 

 gested by several of our correspond- 

 ents, but, as we much prefer to com- 

 mence the editorial matter on the first 

 page, we will do s^iereafter, and 

 place all advertiseirSms at the end. 

 Those who want to preserve them for 

 binding, should either have a Binder 

 and place them in it as fast as re- 

 ceived, or else carefully put them 

 away out of the dirt and dust, after 

 reading, until the volume is complete, 

 for binding. 



1^ A correspondent in Canada 

 wants us to say in the Bee Jouknal 

 whether the Apiary Register Book 

 can be sent to Canada by mail, and 

 1 without'' duty." Itcan ;iti3a"book," 

 and such go to Canada from the United 

 i States free of duty, and, as we pre- 

 i pay the postage, there is nothing ex- 

 tra for Canadians to pay more than for 

 those living in the States. 



1^" By an oversight of a clerk in 

 j the paper warehouse, one of the bun- 

 dles of jiaper that was sent to the 

 I printer was much thinner than the 

 j rest, and it was used before we knew 

 it. We have scolded them and hope 

 It will not occur again.
