FROM ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW. 



I .see that Old Durham ru.shes intoprlnt to 

 air his views on the fence question. He seetns 

 to be perfectly coATed by elasticity. 1 

 think that Page fence a saucy.impudent thing, 

 always answering back in the most ag- 

 gravating manner. Then you never know 

 just where to find it. Now that "just as good 

 as Page" suits me. It never "kicks" at any- 

 thing, and if it's absolutely necessary to go 

 through it, one can do it, so there!

One Bee Keeper Selling Anoth- 

 er Bcc-liee|>er§' Honey. 



Query 992.— 1 have a good market for 

 honey, and 1 could sell much more than I can 

 produce, provided 1 should put my name on it 

 and make my customers believe it is from my 

 apiary. I can also buy honey much cheaper 

 than I sell mine. Would It be right to sell 

 honey under such circumstances ?— Missouri. 



W. R. Graham — I think not. 



Rev. M. MaLiii — I would not. 



W. (i. Larrabee — If it is just as good 

 as your own, yes. 



Jas. A. Stone — Yes, if you know it to 

 be pure, but not otherwise. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — "Honesty is the 

 best policy." It i3 not right to deceive. 



J. A. Green — Ye.s, if you are earpful 

 enough as to the quality of honey you 

 buy. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — It is never right to 

 deceive a customer, or sail under false 

 colors. 



6. M. Doolittle— Extend your apiaries 

 till you can produce enough to supply all 

 customers. 



J. E. Pond — Look to your own con- 

 science for a guide. It would be a fraud 

 to sell the honey of others for your own. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — If the honey is as 

 good as yours, so recommend it. Your 

 word ought to be as good as your name. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— It wouldn't be right 

 to put your name as producer on any 

 honey except that produced in your own 

 apiary. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater — It would be proper 

 to buy and put on the market, pure 

 honey, but it would not be right to sell 

 it as your own production. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — It is all right if 

 you know the honey is good. There is 

 no deception about it, at least none that 

 need worry your conscience. 



Eugene Secor — It will be right to sell 

 your own in the manner you describe. 

 The 8th and 9th commandments will 

 settle the other question of ethics. 



B. Taylor — Nothing is wrong that 

 harms no person. If the honey is as 

 good as your own, no one would be 

 harmed, and it would not be wrong. 



J. M. Hambaugh — Yes! If your 

 neighbor does not object, and you are 

 giving your customers equally as good 

 an article in return for their money. 



P. H. Elwood — It would not be right 

 to He to your customers. I should ad- 

 vise you to educate your customers that 

 others produce as good honey as you. 

 You have probably taught them differ- 

 ently. 



C. H. Dibbern — No, unless it is per- 

 fectly understood that you did not pro- 

 duce the honey yourself. It is all right, 

 however, to sell and recommend honey 

 to yonr customers, if you know it is 

 straight goods. 



G. W. Demaree — My experience has 

 been the same (some years) that you de- 

 scribe. I could make it profitable to 

 buy honey some years, to meet a demand 

 greater than my apiary can supply. But 



should I do that, I would become a deal- 

 er in honey to that extent, and maybe 

 lose my reputation as a square producer. 

 I look at it in this way : If a customer 

 believes that he is buying honey pro- 

 duced by "Missouri," though it be but a 

 mere fancy on his part, it is not honest 

 to deceive him. " What will the answer 

 be ?" 



R. L. Taylor— Under what circuui- 

 stancps ? It would bo right to put yonr 

 name on the honey as a guaranty of its 

 quality and purity, but not In order to 

 make your customers believe something 

 that is not true. 



Emerson T. Abbott— You do not need 

 to lie to your customers. If they kno«r 

 you to be an honest man, they will not 

 ask any further questions, if you tell 

 them you are ready to stand behind all 

 the goods you sell. 



II. D. Cutting— Yes, sir, ree ! Procure 

 good honey, and put it up riijhUy, and 

 sell all you can. I have bought better 

 honey than I produced in ray own yard, 

 and my customers received the benefit. 

 It would be dishonest to tell your custo- 

 mers your bees gathered it. 



E. France— If I sold honey that I 

 bought, I would tell my customers where 

 it came from, and if the honey was good 

 I would say so. You should be a good 

 judge ot honey, find an honest ma'n to 

 buy honey from, then if his locality pro- 

 duces first-class honey, your customers 

 won't object. 



Allen Pringle— It would not be right 

 to sell another man's product as your 

 product; but there is certainly nothing 

 wrong about selling any good and genu- 

 ine article, no matter who produced it, 

 so long as there is no deception. I 

 would certainly not label another man's 

 product as mine. 



W. M. Barnum — If it was equally as 

 good, I do not think your customers 

 would care. Deception, as a rule, is a 

 bad policy to follow, however, and if it 

 were practicable, I would prefer to en-' 

 large my apiary sufficiently to meet the 

 demand. Would it not be the more prof- 

 itable way in the long run ? 



J. M. Jenkins— There would be noth- 

 ing wrong in putting your name on the 

 honey, with your guarantee of purity, 

 etc., without pretending that it came 

 from your apiary. I sell honey that way 

 without any trouble, and when ques 

 tioned as to its origin, or otherwise, I an- 

 swer without reserve. I don't know how 

 you could make you cu.<tomers believe it 

 was from your apiary, without resorting 

 to falsehood and deceit, and it is unnec- 

 essary tor me to say if that would be 

 right.
