The year of INK I will be roeor'ied by the 
California bet. keeper as almost a total fail¬ 
ure in his occupation; but should iliat dis¬ 
courage him? Should that nuke him give;

J. \V. Wilson offered a resolution to the 
effect that, heretofore dealers in honey prac¬ 
tised an imposition on honey producers by 
refusing to allow for the weight of tin cans 
in their honey purchases, and recommend¬ 
ing tlur honey producers hereafter shall be 
dealt with a* regards packages containing 
honey in the game manner fl* producer# of

Gentlemen, one of the mn.-t important 
subjects for us to discuss is, H iv.rstaoking 
our range with bees.” Can ilbeilunu? 1 say 
that it can, with lice? as well as with Ani¬ 
mals. 1 am well aware that dm itig Our 
sago and sumac harvest il would require a 
large number of colonies to gather all the 
nectar Irani the millions of flu Wits that 
bloom in our mountains; but as this great 
fluiv of nectar dues not continue very long 
it is unwise In have more bees than can go 
on with brood-rearing alter tin 
and buckwheat have ceased to Idoom, or 
before they Come in bloom. I think that it 
is admitted by aotne of our principal apia- 
ri-ts that a given point, can be overstocked, 
and those that are fortunate enough to 
nf nverstnrkinir the market will he nhanged 
to ih# cheerful inquiry of: How is the de¬ 
mand lu be supplied? To me the future 
prospect of thfi California bee keeper was 
never more promising than How. In the 
near future apiculture will not be a game

A Boston firm is reported tn bo doing a 
large business in making an imitation honey 
in the comb. The comb is moulded out 
of paraffine wax, in good imitation of the 
work of bees; the cells am then filled with 
simple glucose syrup, flavored doubtless

The electro-therapeutical display by W. 
J. Horne continues to attract great atten¬ 
tion at the State Fair. A careful inspec¬ 
tion i f it will give one many valuable ideas 
in regard to the preservation of health. In 
thiB connection, the Pnrfffe Coast Watch 
mn/i, the official organ of the A. (J. I . W., 
says: “Electro therapeutics ns a science is 
growing in favor as one of the beat and 
'itrest, remedial agencies in the treatment 
of almost all diseases, especially those of a 
chronic nature, or diminution of the vital 
forces. Brother \V. J. Horne has made 
this science a life-long study, and by pa 
limit and persevering industry haa suc¬ 
ceeded in making what is known a* the 
elect ro-magnetic medical belt, that is re¬ 
ceiving the highest testimonials as one of
