UVorcester, Mo., is the residonce 

 of Byron liams. Tlie Herald (a local 

 paper) thus mentions him and his bee 

 ' business : 



Then Byron lianis, the bee man, is a 

 great benefit to thd community. His 

 immense colonies of bees convert the 

 beautiful flowers into honey, and lill his 

 hives with choice honey, which he has 

 no trouble in converting into ready cash. 



But hark ! the voice of a woman is 

 wafted upon the evening breeze, and we 

 hear that supper is waiting. We seat 

 ourself at a table presided over by a 

 beautiful Audrain County lady, who 

 made the nice, white biscuit, the product 

 of Audrain County wheat, ground in an 

 Audrain County mill ; and as the flaky, 

 white biscuit fall apart, we spread de- 

 licious yellow butter, made by an Audrain 

 County lady, from the milk of an Audrain 

 County cow, and over this spread beau- 

 tiful clear honey, gathered by Audrain 

 County bees, and then finish our supper 

 with a lucious peach pie, made with 

 Audrain peaches. 



Tlie Olucose Trust or combine 

 has been reorganized. It will be re- 

 membered that about a year ago this 

 gigantic monopoly fell to pieces of its 

 own weight, and from the effects of anti- 

 trust legislation. It is stated that a pool 

 has now been formed with the immense 

 capitalization of $15,000,000. A daily 

 paper says : 



There seems to be every indication 

 that the trust will be incorporated under 

 English law in London, and that the 

 business of the concern will be conducted 

 on the same general line as is the busi- 

 ness of the great English syndicates 

 which have invested so heavily in Amer- 

 ican industries of late years. 



It is absolutely denied that English 

 capital has been employed in the deal, 

 but the probability that the trust will be 

 incorporated in England leads to the 

 suspicion that English capital is being 

 invested. 



It will be remembered that the old 

 glucose trust was formed by each com- 

 pany placing its plant in as a portion of 

 the capital stock. This was an unsatis- 

 factory arrangement. Without the hos- 

 tile legislation the old pool would have 

 gone to pieces. 



There were quarrels and dissatisfaction 

 among its members, which would have 



ended in its dissolution even if new laws 

 had not interfered with its existence. 



The plans under which the new trust 

 is formed are such that complications of 

 the kind that brought about the dissolu- 

 tion of the former pool will not exist, 

 and if the new trust is as fortunate as 

 the whisky combino, all will be smooth 

 sailing. 



We cannot understand what possible 

 plans the new trust can have formed to 

 protect it against the effects of anti-trust 

 legislation. If the trust comes within 

 the meaning of the anti-trust law, it 

 must go. 



We cannot bring ourselves to believe 

 that money used as a "plan" to prevent 

 the effects of anti-trust legislation, will, 

 in this case, bring longer life to the new 

 glucose trust than it had a year ago. 



The farmers of the country have it in 

 their power to hold such iniquitous 

 monopolies in check, and are determined 

 to do so. The glucose trust is a parasite 

 that must be speedily made to loose its 

 blood suckers from the body politic. —

Xlie Kair should occupy your 

 thoughts long before the time comes to 

 make an exhibit. Think of what you 

 can exhibit, of how you can exhibit it to 

 the best advantage, and of how to exhibit 

 it so that it will be attractive. 



Please also to think about the Bee 

 Journal. Talk about it to those bee- 

 keepers you meet at the Fair. Send for 

 a few sample copies, and a colored 

 Poster, and put them where they can be 

 seen. This will help your exhibit, and 

 will help us as well. 



llVlien Transporting: Bees by 



wagon or otherwise, it is absolutely neces- 

 sary that they be secured so nicely that 

 not a single bee can get out, and at the 

 same time give them plenty of air. Wire 

 screens over the entrances should be 

 used. — Exchange.
