to oreu gum an eutrauce in tho list— or if put in, tho Premiumt 
qfferal are bettor calculated to discourage than to enoourage tho 
tlio cultivation of tho boo. Can wo ever bring this important 
aubjoot up to its proper standard, uuless the cultivators of bees 
will help to do it? I say no! Let every bee-keeper lend a help- 
ing hand. Where is tho man that will step next upon tho platform 
and give to oach Town, a well-bound volume, treating on the 
management of the bee. Lot each man that has published a work 
on bees, step forward and plaoo his namo on tho Register of donor, 
and soon every Town in tho Unitod States will have a Library that 
will bo valuablo and instructive. I mako this appeal to my fellow 
Apioulturiststs, that have tried to bravo tho storm of adversity, 
and dispoi tho midnight darkness that has so long draped in 
mystery tho oharaoter and habits of tho beo. Let us aot : and 
thousands from their rural homes will give us a hearty response, 
by acoeptiug our offers to try and advance the common interests 
of mankind. 
To bettor aid the uow beginner, and class tho evils attending 
beo-oulturo, and lay the basis of a correct system whereby 
theso evils may be overcome, this ifork is presented for your oan- 
did investigation— commonoing with the seloctiou of a site for 
an /tpiary. and gradually loading the mind, step by stop until it 
ean remove every hindrance, and master overy evil that lies in 
tho path of progress to tho successful cultivation of tho bee.
