The Future Prospect. — The editor of 

 the Bee-Keepers^ Magazine, says : 



Iix nature, as well as in almost all 

 tilings, one extreme is apt to be fol- 

 lowed by another in the opposite 

 directioii,and judging from tliisstand- 

 l)oint we may expect nature to favor 

 bee-keepers in 1882. 



Unfair Copying. — We are always 

 glad to have our Excliangescopy arti- 

 cles from the Bee Journal ; still 

 more to have them endorsed by those 

 wlio copy them ; but wlien they get so 

 enthusiastic as to copy them without 

 giving the Bee Journal due credit 

 — thus palming them off for their own 

 production — it is a little " too thin." 

 We liave noticed scores of our articles 

 thus copied, going the rounds of the 

 agricultural papers, credited to some 

 other periodical, because some one 

 desiring honestly to give credit, men- 

 tioned the paper from whom it was 

 last taken, after being stolen from the 

 Bee Journal. An Indiana paper 

 copied our editorial article on " Sweet 

 Clover in Colorado," from page 20, but 

 failed to give any credit. A Baltimore 

 paper, a few weeks ago, had a column 

 article, copied, word for word, from 

 an editorial in the Bee Journal, 

 with the name of a " correspondent " 

 signed to it. A Louisiana paper cop- 

 ied our experiments with comb foun- 

 dation, under its editorial heading, 

 appropriating our experiments, argu- 

 ments and conclusions, without as 

 much as saying — " By your leave." 



Since the above paragrapli was put 

 in type, we are advised that the offi- 

 cial report, as first published in tlie 

 VolorudoFanner^wA^ incorrect, and our 

 editorial was predicated upon that re- 

 port. Mr. Grimes had but a single 

 acre of sweet clover. Will our Indi- 



ana contemporary please modify that 

 editorial on "sweet clover in Colorado" 

 by making the corretion V 



Wood Separators. — Mr. C. R. Isham, 

 Peoria, N. Y., remarks that the apiar- 

 ists in that part of New York, will for 

 the future use wood separators, in 

 place of tin, for surplus sections. He 

 tliinks they are preferable in many 

 respects. So far as our observation 

 is concerned, tlieir use has not been a 

 success, but perhaps the difficulties of 

 the past may be overcome, and we 

 shall await, with interest, reports from 

 those using them the coming season.
