satisfactory recommendation, and we trust
will succeed in disposing of the parish
right to the Golden Beehive to some of

that the pecularitcs Of his invention are

and most successful improvements in bee
culture. Our space does nst permit a more
extended and critical notice.
We will say, in conclusion, that with al
the appliances sold by Mr.. Milling, be-
keeping becomes source Of profit ant

Mr.. Milling will remain in Homer for seve
