THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW.

filled with comb honey from such men as 

 Hetherington, Elwood and Hoffman. One 

 large case contained mostly extracted honey 

 in bottles and jars. In this case there were 

 also 112 pounds of comb honey and 140 of 

 extracted that had been gathered by six col- 

 onies of bees kept in the building, they fly- 

 ing out through the walls a la house apiary. 

 This honey was dark. F. H. Cyrenus fur- 

 nished a box a foot wide by four in length 

 and three inches deep in which were some 

 very fantastically built combs. A little close 

 study showed the initials of his name drawn 

 by the crooks of the combs. He also had on 

 exhibition another box in which were two 

 combs four feet in length at the points of 

 attachment, perhaps six inches in depth, but 

 about three or four inches thick. Two large 

 letters, N Y, were built up with pound sec- 

 tions in the front end of the case. There 



The New York exhibit was put in place and 

 cared for by our old-time competitor at fairs, 

 O. L. Hershiser, and it showed that he haa 

 had experience in that kind of work.

were also some beautiful mounted speci- 

 mens of honey producing plants. Yes, and 

 I remember seeing some photographs of 

 the Langdon house apiary — both exterior 

 and interior views. The other large case 

 was filled with comb honey ; a long pyramid 

 at each end and a smaller one in the middle. 



THE MICH. HONEX EXHIBIT. 



Michigan's show stood next to that of New 

 York. This is one of the States that gave 

 but little money towards showing up the 

 honey industry, and had it not been for the 

 self-sacrificing labors of Mr. H. D. Cutting, 

 it is doubtful if Michigan would have had 

 any honey on exhibition. Neither should it 

 be forgotten that such men as Taylor, Hil- 

 ton, Walker and Hunt came forward and 

 loaned honey and wax, and thus saved the 

 honor of the State as a honey-producer. 

 There was one large and one small pyramid 

 of extracted honey from Byron Walker, I 

 believe. In the center was a round pyramid 

 of comb honey from R. L. Taylor, and for a 

 large lot of comb honey, I think this was the 

 best comb honey on exhibition. There was 

 a pyramid of honey in cases from Hilton 

 and fine wax from M. H. Hunt. 



Next in the row of cases came that of Ohio, 

 It contained three pyramids of comb and ex- 

 tracted honey and small cakes of beautiful 

 wax, the finest I saw, all so combined that 

 one added to the attractiveness of the oth-
