 of the frames. As an illustration; we can take four 

 frames out of the one story hives above, and jiut in

May 27^/(— We have to-day 1615 subscribers. 



Both Gould & Gilllpsie, mentioned in humbnes and 

 swindles have been many times reported. Will the 

 press aid in showing them up as they deserve ? 



Over a year ago we ordered 3 copies of the German Bee- 

 iournal for subscribers, and sent the money with the or- 

 ders to M. & R. Burgheim. Agents, of Cincinnatti, telling 

 them plainly to send the Journal for the 

 year 1875. A short time ago we received a bill for §12.20. 

 for the .Jo'imalsfor 1^7.i ; We told them we had received 

 no orders for this year, therefore could not ha\e them con- 

 tinued, and that if we were really obliiied to would pay uyt 

 to the present time, but all .Journals were now ordered to 

 be stopped at or.ce. The result is that we are compelled to 

 lose the S 12.20 just because when we ordered the Journal 

 for 1S7(; we did not say empliatically. no longer. It may be 

 the German Bee-juurual is an institution that has to be 

 taken all one's lite if he once subscribes for it. If such is 

 Moi! the case will the publi-iher-i of ii please look after their 

 asents in Cincinnatti, who claim to have the laic on their 

 side '? 



We have seen a copy of the claim on the Isha-ni hon- 

 ey box, and have reason to think the patent is a fair 

 and honest one ; and that the parties who think they 

 have seen the same thing in use prior to 1872, are mis- 

 taken. Very well then, says one class of our readers; 

 it is your (Uiiy to pay Mr. I. (and to advise your readers 

 to do the same) for an individual light to use the box, if 

 i you want to use it. We certainly do not wish to be 

 I stubborn or headstrong in the matter, but we really 

 ! cannot nndcr any circumstances feel that we should bt 

 doing right to encourage the individual right business. 

 It is true that almost all our laws nni/he perverted, 

 \ but because they sometimes are is no reason why they 

 : should be condemr ed as one ol our number presents U. 

 But dear Iriends Is not almost the entire fruit of the in- 

 dividual right system bad ? Do you know ol any one in 

 your neighborhood who has been benelited linally by 

 "the inircliase of a right ? those who have rights lor 

 tale, will iji(;k up a few facts, it is true, to support their 

 I prsition ; but do the general.average of our readers af- 

 j ter looking about them, decide that the tratlic is one 

 they would advise honest auu industrious men to en- 

 gag'e in ? 

 ! If ]Mr. Isham will manfacture his boxes for sale at a 

 fair price, say by the 100 or lOCO, we have no fear that 

 S%any one will think of infringing by making their own, 

 1 for hand labor can never compete with that done by 

 I machinery. If any one should start a similar manu- 

 factory without permission from him, it would be a 

 very sim))le matter to stop them by law, and a course 

 we would, by all means approve. The latter plan 

 builds thiiving manufactories, and is satisfactory to 

 j all parties, while the former results in tangled up spec- 

 ulation and then goes down to oblivion, except as at 

 times men look back and review the sums of monej' 

 they have at different times wasted foolishly.
