Wm. M. Barnum — The question-box. 



Jas. A.Stone — Editorial and "Gleaner." 

 Cbas. Dadant & Son — Every part of it. 

 R. L. Taylor — The query department.

W. R. Graham 

 ment. 



J. M. Hambaugh- 

 like it all. 



Mrs. L. Harrison 

 first and last page. 



Rev. M. Mahin- 

 ments with interest, 



H. D. Cutting — Prom cover to cover, 

 advertisements and all. It is all inter- 

 esting. 



P. H. Elwood — Anything touching on 

 new methods of management or new im- 

 plements. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — They are all so good 

 that it would be invidious to praise any 

 one specially. 



E. France — These questions and an- 

 swers. I always want to see what the 

 other fellow says. 



Eugene Secor — I generally read edi- 

 torial notes first, but other departments 

 are read with interest. 



Dr. C. C. Miller — I don't know. Some- 

 times the Question-Box, sometimes edi- 

 torials, sometimes correspondence. 



Rev. E. T. Abbott— That depends on 

 what is in them. I read It all. If it Is 

 about something that interests me. I 

 have not time to read everything in all 

 the papers. 



W. G. Larrabee — Probably the part 

 that comes from nearest my location, or 

 is written by men that I am acquainted 

 with ; but I read the editorials about as 

 soon as anything. 



Allen Pringle — No special department. 

 As I have not the spare time to read 

 one-fifth of the matter contained In the 

 bee and other journals I get, I go over 

 the contents and simply read that which 

 I may think from the caption to be most 

 interesting. 



J. E. Pond — I read the whole with 

 equal interest. I am looking all the 

 time for something new, and each num- 

 ber varies somewhat. One department 

 may be of more Interest one week, and 

 another the next, so that really I am 

 unable to say that I read any one special 

 department with more interest than the 

 others. 



G. W. Demaree — That is too hard. 

 You might make me sUrjIit somebody. I 

 do not have time to read everything in 

 the bee-papers like I used to. I am apt 

 to read that which touches on the sub- 

 jects that may chance to Interest me at 

 the time. The "mutual admiration," 

 and the "goody," and the "spiteful 

 fling," I pass by. But I rather like 

 sharp criticism, in good humor.
