The price of honey, that is in the comb,
this year is much advanced. Indeed the arti-
Gle is scarce and the keepers of bees say that
it has been the poorest season in years for
their business One farmer in Rutland coun-
ty who keeps 100 swarms of bees has lost 70
Of them and the remaining swarms seem to
be much smaller than usual. He says that
many of the apple trees in his locality we're
sprayed when they were in blossom with a
solution of paris green, or some other COM
pound to kill the worms, but the effect of the
poison was by far more fatal to the bees than
to the worms.
The st. Adams liquor agent recently re-
fused to allow the state superintendent Of
the Anti Saloon League to inspect the books
in which the sales are supposed to be recorded
The agent was of the opinion that he could
refuse 20 show the books to anyone except
the county commissioner and the city au-
thorities. What is there about the books that
should make the sgent regard them as pro
found secretl There is really only one con-
cusion. The agent has probably made
practice of selling to parties who used the
goods as beverage. 1t used 20 be said that
the Burlington city liquor agent had custom
ers who came often, held up the same old
bottle and it was filed without word-and
it is not recorded that the agent ever made
a mistake in the kind of goods delivered to
these parties. So says an exchange.
